Vladimir Putin said Monday that the dominance of the dollar was a threat to global markets and the United States was "a parasite", reports Reuters.

Vladimir Putin is a soul-less, ruthless former KGB killer who would have killed his own mother if he’d been ordered to do so. He knows about as much about a market economy as a new born knows about quantum physics.

The only thing Vlad is saying behind the scenes is "do you realize most Americans really think I believe this sh!t?"
You’re welcome. Honestly, I don’t know how president Bush could have looked into this killers eyes and claim to the the ‘’soul’’ of a man he could trust? The only thing a Russian understand is strength, brute force and the willingness to use it.
He predicted the Balkanizing of America into 5 states.
Which means he’s PLANNING the splitup of the USA into five territories.
