If you think they are going to stand around and let him destroy them, obliterate their wealth, and extinguish their power, I don't know what else to say to you - that is not how powerful human beings behave.

Putin's survival, like Trump's, is based on the perception of power, any weakness and the dogs will tear them both apart, in Trumps case metaphorically, in Putins it will be actual dogs that eat him
