What is the primary result of all governments slowly unraveling?

Extreme population reduction this century.

Imagine this. Poor and middle class people have no rights in most countries and slowly starve to death over time. Only if you are very rich can you afford to live around the world. This is where all this is going with leaders like Trump and others around the world.

If Russia succeeds in keeping Trump in office, NATO is gone, Most European countries are gone, and our U.S. democracy is gone. This is a given if you are watching carefully now what is happening every single day as our democracy slowly is eroded away by Trump and his rich buddies like Putin.

By the way Putin is reportedly worth 200 billion dollars which is likely the richest man on earth.

How Much Is Vladimir Putin Actually Worth?

It depends who you ask.

Vladimir Putin could be the richest man in the world. Take that, President Trump.
Last year, Hermitage Capital Management CEO Bill Browder told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he believes the Russian president is "the richest man in the world" with a net worth of $200 billion. Browder has some bona fides to back up his Russia connections; the financier's firm was once the largest portfolio investor in Russia.

Celebritynetworth.com has a more conservative estimate: $70 billion, which matches the figure Russian political analyst Stanislav Belkovsky gave the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in 2012Forbes, the universally accepted source of wealth information, has dubbed the former KGB agent "the world's most powerful person" but does not give an estimate of his net worth.
A spokesperson for the publication told Town & Country earlier this year that's because they haven't been able to figure it out: "While Forbes has been able to track money tied to Putin’s allies, we have not been able to come up with a defensible, provable estimate of his net worth."

"Everything that belongs to the territory of the Russian Federation Putin considers to be his," exiled Russian banker Sergei Pugachev told the Guardian (Pugachev once earned the nickname "Putin's banker.") He said that "any attempt to calculate [Putin's net worth] won’t succeed. He’s the richest person in the world until he leaves power."
Whatever the figure is, Putin himself certainly isn't saying. When presented with links to stories cited above, a representative from the Press and Information Office of the President of the Russian Federation responded, "This information has no substance. As you may know, the declarations of Mr. Putin’s income and property are published annually on http://kremlin.ru/structure/administration/income-reports." [Editor's note: Putin's reported 2015 salary was 8.9 million rubles (about $137,000)]

The Kremlin representative signed off with a phrase familiar in Trumpworld: "We recommend you to use only reliable sources henceforward and not to believe fake news in 2018."
