Profit means nothing in front of physical power. The US can catch him and lock him up in jail. I hope people stop thinking economy or money is a deciding factor in the hegemony war. We have been seeing cases of biting feeding hand over and over including woke companies bashing their own customers, Australia antagonizing China and now all the Western sanctions on Russia. That's because profit isn't the most important thing. Just because someone is economically dependent on you, doesn't mean they aren't going to or they can't defy you. You can't always get what you want with only economic incentives and economic measures.
