Huh, interesting. A recent US leader exhibited similar behavior

The difference being that the US has enough checks and balances to minimise the damage of a single incompetent. Meanwhile a deranged strongman just kneecapped Russian development for the next 20 years.

The US had just barely enough checks and balances, yes. I don't like our odds at surviving the next similar test
