He rejects the claim that Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner bought an island bunker because they know catastrophe is coming, arguing instead that they are insulated front figures who assume public anger will never seriously turn against them.
He says the real winner of the AI race will be oligarchs, because China and America function as partners that give each other cover to expand AI-based surveillance states.
He argues that targeted sanctions on Russian business elites removed their Western option and unified them around Putin, whereas broad U.S. pressure on China allegedly leaves Chinese business elites able to resist Xi Jinping.
