“RE Putin. What would you do if all you had was a KGB education and you faced rebuilding a country that had imploded seven years ago, was found to have had its nukes embezzled, was found to have wrecked its oil-producing wealth, had debased its currency, had become infiltrated by thousands of criminal “families....what COULD you do?”
If I was a thug and a criminal, I would have done exacty as Putin has done. Since I am not, I would have done the opposite.
Okay, what is your plan?
