Yes, indeed, Russians are well known for counterfeiting our 100 dollar bills.I believe I have heard that before. But what purpose would it serve Putin to have people passing them in liquor stores in Maine, where they stand out like sore thumbs? It is not like they are going to undermine our currency. I have no doubt that there are dishonest Russian conterfeiters, and I have no doubt that Russians try to pass countrfeit money, I just can’t see why Putin or his country would benefit from two or three hundred-dollar bills being passed. Again, why would Putin order people to do this?
Why does every crime or dishonorable thing that a Russian does have to be a direct order from Putin? I doubt that Putin is even aware of the extent of counterfeiting that goes on across the nation.
That’s as crazy as blaming Bush for everything that goes wrong in America. I am certainly not a fan of his anymore but I don’t throw rocks at him that are unjustified.
Putin’s government is the same as ours, infected with criminals in every department from the top to the bottom. These people, I say most politicians and bureaucrats, are looking for every dollar they can get their filthy hands on as long as there is no physical labor involved and they don’t have to break a sweat to get it.
They are all too smart, in their own minds, where they should be forced to do common labor. That is beneath them. It is okay to do common labor of their own choice for short periods of time IF it will be observed by someone who is apt to talk about it, but be forced to do it? Never!
