I've wondered for years how anyone could be so naive as to think a KGB guy -- no matter how fit and Western-appearing -- could be anything but what he is. I learned long ago to watch what politicians do, not what they say. Pootie-Poot has been doing some might unfriendly stuff.
Well, the Kremlin bootlicker brigade here (a number of whom are probably SVR plants) will attack those of us who state the truth thereby demonstrating their true colors. And the existence of a prominent 5th column in general here in the USA, who might as well be SVR agents themselves, does not help at all.

Russia was walking arm-in-arm with Saddam until the very last:
"Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation."
