Putin's 'secret weapon' against the West - massive illegal cash hordes in foreign countries. The Russian economy is small relative to that of Europe or the United States. It military is hardly capable of competing with NATO. But "the Kremlin has a secret weapon which no one else in the world has: enormous criminal financial resources" that Vladimir Putin can deploy to promote his goals. During the time of Putin's rule, "trillions of dollars" have flowed out of Russia abroad, a trend that is "not simply a criminal affair" but rather "the story about the struggle for rule in the world" designed to promote the goals of the FSB and its master in the Kremlin, the Russian analyst Igor Eidman says.
