To be fair, the one thing one can give Putin credit for is the great revival in Russian agriculture.
Other than that Russia has underperformed in re economic development, given its enormous advantages, not least its access to investment capital.
Russia has capital. A lot of it.
It is sitting in the foreign bank accounts of Putin and his inner-circle.
That is a fact FRiend.
I am not saying our nation is less corrupt or morally superior, but you would be hard-pressed to find any leader in the world who is wealthier than Putin.
