Thank you for pointing that out most people have forgotten that our world existed past 2016 and yes it was the oligarchs and has always been them.

@powder Exactly what does any of it have to do with Putin other than he’s prevented us from installing some pawn that will bend over backwards for us and the central bank. He’s protected his country’s sovereignty placing troops in other countries like we do.
Or is it that he was conducting business with all of the countries that we overthrew during the Arab as well as the one he’s protected.

Just saying Powder than whenever our government or the media tells us to hate a foreign power there’s the public documented reasons and then there’s the real reason.
Yes he’s locked up certain oligarchs but not all but at least Russia isn’t afraid to arrest those who are corrupt with financial power.

And as I’ve pointed out I have someone in Russia that I talk with from time to time and he’s familiar with someone on President Putin’s security detail and he’s been told that Putin considers trump as being the equivalent of yeltsen.
So for anyone to believe that Putin would risk his own position by doing direct business with trump they need to change the news channel

@powder It’s called bee and 12” of snow and I either need more I need to stop either way you’re right.

@powder You are so full of it. The fact is that every oligarch in Russia acts in accordance with what Putin wants as they all know to act otherwise is highly dangerous.

@powder Yes, he is an amazingly sinister and corrupt man who is a real threat to world order. No one with any objectivity can deny that. The other crap you threw in is just that.
