Ask the Russian oligarchs how they feel about Purin causing massive sanctions against Russia.

There won't be any massive sanctions if ~85% of the world's governments on your side. That's why they're propping up it in every country.

However, they'll inadvertently also reignite territorial disputes between countries. The Russo-Ukrainian war is also based on the fact, that in the past, borders were different, and some countries were "greater" at that time.

Or about throwing half of them in jail (or through the window) because they said something he didn't like or because he wanted their stuff.

Everyone thinks the leopard only eats other people's faces.
