Dear Prof Krugman,

I agree with your analysis, but please let’s all stop pretending that the richest men are the smartest entrepreneurs; many of them are simply the most psychopath enablers of people who think that we all have to suffer meaninglessly in order not to disturb them.

This is Project 2025: The Heritage Foundation, Putin and KGB at their finest.

US and World citizens deserve much more better.

And they deserve it now.

It is very hard for me to think this is not deliberate. Putin chose wisely. An agent of chaos tied to him by blackmail who is not just impulsive, but low information and incredibly stubborn when confronted with reality. In other words stupid. I like Fran Lebowitz' take: "Everyone says he is crazy - which maybe he is -but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald tRump. You just don't."
