to describe it. Crazy might be another. Okay, let's talk a little bit just about some background in each of these countries. I suspect that by now, listeners have a pretty good sense of what Russia is like under President Vladimir Putin. Putin has been waging this horrific war in Ukraine for months. He has killed tens of thousands of innocent people. He's driven millions more from their homes, and even back in Russia, I mean, Russian citizens who criticize the war or the government generally are literally thrown in prison for years. Russia is an autocracy, which means it's ruled by Vladimir Putin, and his power is absolute. The country is also incredibly corrupt. Putin sits at the top of a corruption food chain, a corruption human centipede, Raj, if you will. His top advisors and this group of men around and this coterie of men called the oligarchs have extracted billions of dollars from the state, and they use that money to do Putin bidding. Qatar is similar to Russia in that one man (21/45)
