Cameron looks earnest but Putin looks bored. Here is a picture of David Cameron meeting Vladimir Putin. Could that be a small, self-satisfied smile falling across Pootie-Poot’s normally severe face? A few moments before Bush, that subtle judge of human character, would have “…looked into his eyes…and got a sense of the soul…” of Pootie-Poot, and Bush liked what he saw.

Take a look at that stupid grin on Bush’s face.

Here is a picture of George Bush meeting Vladimir Putin. Many of them died for this story, and their work has largely been scrubbed from the Internet, and even from Russian libraries, Dawisha says. Russian journalists wrote part of this story when the Russian media was still free. Dawisha's sources include Stasi archives Russian insiders investigative journalists in the US, Britain, Germany, Finland, France, and Italy and Western officials who served in Moscow. Putin's Kleptocracy is the result of years of research into the KGB and the various Russian crime syndicates. She documents the establishment of Bank Rossiya, now sanctioned by the US the rise of the Ozero cooperative, founded by Putin and others who are now subject to visa bans and asset freezes the links between Putin, Petromed, and Putin's Palace near Sochi and the role of security officials from Putin's KGB days in Leningrad and Dresden, many of whom have maintained their contacts with Russian organized crime. She presents extensive new evidence about the Putin circle's use of public positions for personal gain even before Putin became president in 2000. Russian scholar Dawisha describes and exposes the origins of Putin's kleptocratic regime. Karen Dawisha's brilliant Putin's Kleptocracy provides an answer, describing how Putin got to power, the cabal he brought with him, the billions they have looted, and his plan to restore the Greater Russia. The raging question in the world today is who is the real Vladimir Putin and what are his intentions.
