Reply to comment by SilkyChalk in [OC] Top 10 Richest Russian Oligarchs in 2022 and their links to Putin by Spirited-Focus-7312

They did that with the first sentence. My question pertained to the second sentence. I was just wondering what American billionaires would possibly fall under the definition of a Russian oligarch. Maybe there are some, but that would be news to me. I'm just not aware of any Americans who made their fortunes by privatizing former Soviet state owned industries.

They didn't say American billionaires would fall under the definition of Russian oligarch. They said American oligarchs with ties to Put in.

No, they said exactly that. And then they tried to argue that they were right to say that. It was dumb and I'm sad that I wasted a tiny part of my weekend on it.

It wasn't even the same person that replied. It's pretty obvious he was asking about what it would look like if it was americans instead of russians.

Protip, in the future when you don't understand something don't get so defensive. It's a bad look.

The second sentence was just an extension of the first, explaining its motivation. You could read the second sentence as, "I'm curious how Link is defined, and whether it's defined broadly enough to include Americans."
