The idea of the ‘Evil Genius’ is rarely reflected in reality. Intelligent people often foresee negative outcomes and go ‘Nah’. Stupid people go ‘Why not?’. Trump, Musk etc. have revealed themselves to be a lot dumber than anyone gave them credit for.

Europe is such a tough place to do business. Here we see a French Court completely devaluing a previously valuable asset into which the Russian government invested millions.
