That is the point. And he probably had legit business ties with Trump before campaign. That is why sanctions are slapped and FBI harassing. They want him to lie about collusion to get Trump.
US treasury basically robbed him out of his business over it demanding as a condition to lift sanctions to surrender a controlling stake in his holding and to agree to purge half of his board in favor of US or UK citizens and for US government to approve candidates.
They got all of it and only lifted sanctions on business which doesn’t belong to him anymore.
They now jokingly call JSC Rusal - JSC AmAl (Russian aluminium - American aluminium). I’d call it a highway robbery.
Naw . . . not really. In the big picture raping Oleg, forcing him to sell to avoid santions was a petty cash robbery. /s
I agree with what you are trying to say . . . However, consider . . .
I align with Stranahan viewpoint. Trump came along and threatened the little boys club that began in 1991 after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Harvard Boys and George Soros rape of Russia and continues into Ukraine and the other Russia border countries.
This "The Nation" article from 1998 does a good job explaining why Trump is a threat. Remember who is president while this rape is taking place.
