I understand the capture of politicians, whose main motivation is power and control. But I don't understand the businessmen. Why are these "captains of industry", who are fully in control of their fortunes and destinies, working to bring down the system that made them wealthy? Have they not noticed that, in Russia, the oligarchs are nothing more than welll-paid division managers in Putin, Incorporated? Do they really want to turn their successful businesses over to a new CEO whose advice they ignore at the possible cost of their lives? Musk, Bezos and the rest can see how the Russian system turns everyone, even the oligarchs, into slaves of the state. Why would they give up what the American system has allowed them to build, when they already have everything they could want and an open opportunity to get more?
