Total BS. People think a spy telling them something makes them feel special and the story must be true.

The fact is Putin was involved in the leadership of Russia for decades, since the 1980’s.

He was an agent until 1991, when he resigned. He was in the “leadership of Russia for decades,” even when he was stationed in Berlin?

Please get back to me with sources.

Putin was the KGB’s money-man in East Germany, making sure terrorist groups like the Bader-Meinhoff Gang and others, were well-supplied to carry out their evil

those terrorists liked to attack West German malls and nightclubs, and they killed & injured several American GI’s along the way

Putin’s real legacy ... yet you always support this murderous thug

Putin was also the KGB liaison officer for the Red Army Faction terrorist group, then blowing things and people up in the West.

I’m interested in what he says as a former insider quite apart from his statements on Putin. It’s a long interview. But you’ve made a factual allegation about Putin’s status within the Soviet power structure during the 1980s. Fine. Back it up with...well, facts. Barsky says he resigned after the fall of the Berlin Wall, which means that he was in Berlin when the wall fell and afterwards. If that’s false, show me the true facts and their source.

FYI, I’ve read Night of Wenceslas, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and also Without Remorse. That is the extent of my spy novel readings, years ago. None of them mention Putin, not that I care. Spy novels are not all that interesting, really. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer, Little Man What Now? and Alone in Berlin are more my speed.

I consider sources and prefer never to play into their stupidity. Never argue with an idiot, they will take you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yes! China and Afghanistan are negative influences as well. They do not value human life.

Lots of insults being trolled at you but not one serious argument against what you posted. Probably because how do you refute information on Putin that can be validated on Ruzzian government and news sites?

All that’s left is to attack the messenger.
