I wouldn't go that far, oligarchs (in the US or otherwise) are generally very intelligent, sophisticated (in the functional sense) and even hard working.
This is not meant to be some sort of justification, they are clearly corrupt, deeply dishonest and extremely malicious. That doesn't mean they should be underestimated or one should discount their capabilities.
This is a good point. Intelligent sociopaths do exist. "stupid" and "evil" are not synonyms.
