peoplew are lauded as geniuses just because something goes right for them and everyone expects that to continue - maybe they believe their own hype and becomne over- confident - life isn't that simple !
I never thought putin a genius though seeing as after 23 years russia was such as small econmy still with all those naturl advantages of size , scale , position and the oil and gas and minerals - trump said he was though - this war has proved trump quite wrong , just as the Twitter buy has proved Musk quite fallible .
