You are a Paid Putin Troll.

Putin is a ex KGB evil thug and you peddle his LiES here non stop.

Who are you trying to mislead and fool here,

Putin is the most dangerous Corrupt thug in Eastern Europe !

He oversaw the murder of thousands of Germans trapped behind his Iron curtain.

“You are a Paid Putin Troll.”
????
Oh, get over yourself.

[tcrlaf]

Oh please, Putin did not “kill thousands” in Eastern Europe.

Putin was an openly-KGB (do you know what that means?) minor functionary in Dresden in those days, not some monster commanding Honecker’s Stasi.

If that was even remotely true, the German’s would have gone after him, long ago.

Your hysterical rantings really do your cause a disservice, you know.

Take a look at the list of companies in post #7.

They are all doing business INSIDE "Putin's evil empire".

The captains of industry in America are aiding and abetting your enemy Putin.

One has to get beyond the decades of planting the idea in conservatives heads that communism is the "big enemy".

They were a communist nation years ago - and American elite financiers did business with them behind your patriotic back, while goading you to support military spending to "face down the enemy". And all those tax dollars went to - you guessed it - defense companies controlled by the elite financiers.

Now, they're not even communist any more. They are participating fully in the Western economy. As evidenced by the list of companies in post #7 that are happily doing business inside Russia. Russia is a WTO member, and the Central Bank of Russia is a member of the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland. To the elite financiers of the world, Russia is just another Western country. The idea of the communist boogie man is exclusively used to stir up conservatives to support the financier's occasional employment of US covert and over military operations to further their own ends.

To call Russia communist is to be swinging at an "enemy" that doesn't exist any more. Russian state ownership of enterprises is declining dramatically and private ownership is rapidly expanding. Put simply, they are doing business, capitalist Western style at a brisk pace.

If Putin disappeared tomorrow, the free market economy of Russia would continue. Look at the list of companies in post #7. Tens of thousands of jobs. Look at the improvement in economic statistics in Russia over the last 10 years. Their government debt to GDP is about 8% - ours is over 100%.

The firm Ernst & Young did a nice document on the business environment there

Is Ernst & Young a bunch of communist agitators, or spies ?
