When did we go from "oil companies and tech oligarchs want to exercise their influence over governments to clandestinely achieve greater wealth" to "THE PRESIDENT IS A MONOLITHIC DICTATOR THAT DECIDES ALL FOREIGN POLICY UNILATERALLY"?
Oil companies and oligarchs provide the funding. The person in office still has to make the decisions and still bears responsibility.
