Saw the show last night also.....and I heard that about Putin....my first thought was where does he stash that amount of loot?? And second, if this is true then they have an interest in the world not blowing up....ergo, what the hell is going on with these seemingly irrational moves that are slowing moving world public opinion against them ??
It’s not just about money. It’s about pride.
Hey Mick, hope you are well! Putin is KGB. Brainwashed. Felt insulted and humiliated for the defeat of his beloved USSR and we bailed them out of economic collapse. Putin upset at US involvment in the Orange Revolution but of course, that was after he revealed his true hand of how he really felt and went on a little targeted killing rampage.
I have been around since before W II and I don't recall Russia, ever giving a whit what the world though of them, although they did do a very good job of controlling what was known of them.
The New York Times printed propaganda for them, full well knowing how bad things were internally, they still do.
