Consequences imposed by whom? The US is currently ruled by the very powers who are employing these accounts.

ruled by

I'd say controlled by is more accurate, because the people who factually rule the US are not based outside of the US.

I never said they were. I said they were employing these accounts. But anyway, the oligarchs who rule the US are not all based in the US.

I got your point, just tried to make the distinction between ruling and controlling, because in my eyes the verb ruling is for those who are factually in charge (the people in official positions) and controlling is a better fit for those that are de facto in charge (oligarchs, international corpo's, foreign state actors etc).

Krasnov heartily agrees. As does his boss, Putin.

They are the boss, i agree, but the factually Trump is in the highest position and factually nobody rules over him. I'm not argueing that reality is different, because it's obvious Trump is behaving as a russian asset.
