I think Putin basically wants to cause chaos. The Euro looks like it will collapse before the Dollar.

Yea - it really doesn’t make sense to put confidence in it. If I were him, I’d stick with the Yawn.

Putin is an old cold warrior who hates the USA.

Anything that he thinks will injure the USA, he’s for it.

Of course he came to power by murdering his own people in a wag-the-dog plot:

BS. A conspiracy theory of the worst kind. Same as a nine eleven was an inside job.

Who are you, a KGB press agent?

Putin’s men were caught red-handed by local police with the the explosives in their possession trying to blow up an apartment building in Ryazan, Russia. They said it was a “training exercise”.

There’s really no substitute for having a brain and using it.

Well, Eastern politics is a bloodier business over there and Putin is a fierce nationalist. He’s only openly what many politicans should be, specifically ours, not a humanitarian who wants to sacrifice Russia for Africa. Our politicians aren’t saints either, look at the body trail surrounding the Clintons and Kennedys.

“look at the body trail surrounding the Clintons and Kennedys.”

About the Clinton’s you may be correct. Killing your own lawyer (Vincent Foster) is something many of us might like to do. But killing a plane full of innocent people to get Ron Brown was quite evil, if as the evidence suggests it really happened.

As far as the Kennedy’s are concerned, there’s Mary Jo Kopechne, and who else? Diem? Marilyn Monroe I’m convinced died due to medical malpractice, not murder or suicide. Mary Pinchot Meyer is another possibility; according to tabloids she bore JFK’s posthumous son before she was mysteriously murdered.

“no they were not”
“where did you hear that Alex Jones show?”

I read about it primarily in the works of David Satter, senior fellow with the Hudson Institute; adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins University; former research fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University; former Moscow correspondent for the Financial Times; special correspondent on Soviet affairs for The Wall Street Journal.

I suggest you read the National Review article I linked above, or else Professor Satter’s Yale University Press book “Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian Criminal State” (2003).

If you have some credible evidence that Professor Satter has been lying about Russia please present it here and to the above mentioned institutions. I’m sure we’d all like to know the truth.
