Got a point there, putin....
Fact is, EVERY nation on earth has a Deep State problem. Each has it embodied into different forms, agencies, bureaus.
For Putin, probably Russian mafia and their intelligence agencies, and their central banksters (which I believe they have or are in the process of taking down.
China - CCP, Hands down.
US - MSM, DNC, FIB, CIA, FED... and a hefty infiltration of the GOP.
Britain - MI5/6, royals, banksters.
So, gives a slightly different view of where exactly freedom lies.
Central banksters? There are no oligarchs or "banksters" in Russia that did not become so by being given their fortune and positions by the KGB-FSB. When one is removed, it isn't because he was a bad bankster being removed by righteous Putin. It's because Putin for whatever reason needed him gone as different factions within the KGB-FSB re-organize and jostle for control, the same way the CCP has their different factions, but they're all united in "death to America!"
A quote:
"We know from the testimony of former KGB officers, like Victor Kalashnikov and Konstantin Preobrazhensky, that leading Russian “oligarchs” got their wealth from the Communist Party Soviet Union. There was never a question of them being real capitalists. According to Preobrazhensky, Russian billionaire Boris Berezovsky “did not conceal very much the fact of his being a KGB collaborator. Such collaboration in the Soviet period was normal for scholars of Jewish origin….” In Preobrazhensky’s estimation, Russia’s oligarchs “were mostly reliable KGB agents to whom the KGB gave Communist Party money in order to turn them into KGB milk cows.”
