“It is a politically motivated persecution of one’s competitor.”
Putin, who served in the Soviet security services, added: “And this shows who we are fighting … As they said in Soviet times: ‘the bestial face of American capitalism.'”

Putin smiles at the U.S. becoming full Communist.
Who knows? Maybe he’s the clock that’s not running, and this was his time to be right.
Like him or hate him—when Putin is right—he’s right. As Sam Houston once said: “The Truth Burns, but burns clean.”
