Not totally unexpected, since Putin was ex-KGB.
It is not the KGB alone, it is also all of the Russian tribal Moguls AKA Russian Mafia and arms dealers who have now joined him since they can use his government as a front.
This happened because the KGB after the cold war had to eran money and all they knew fit the Russian Mob job description.
We need Maxwell Smart to take out these agents of Thrush (Axis of Evil).
