True, but I think he’s too feckless and desperate for approval to do that. He’s stupid and self-absorbed enough to move towards doing it, but I’m sure that all it takes is a few judicious words in his ear to make him once again chicken out.

The few exceptions appear to be things on which the oligarchs apparently stupidly agreed with him - like trying to head off Chinese AI development by cutting them off from western chips, which ended up being just the kickstart that the Chinese chip industry needed to ramp up their production to the point that China no longer needs foreign chips.

I can see how they might want to blame something like that on him, but I don’t know if they’d stick their necks out that far, or succeed if they did.

But yeah - if there’s any chance of him actually being punished for his many and egregious crimes, “no longer being useful to the oligarchs” would be it.
