It's 2022 and the media are now hinting that the Ukraine have successfully regained all the land up to the Russian border.
So much for waking the great bear. Now it seems that Putin has invested some money in 'influencing' politicians in several
countries since all the way back to 2014.
How much...? Well, three hundred million dollars. A miserly $300, 000 000 in eight years and considering other 'gifts' of cash
given by the west to other realms, one wonders what favours Vlad acquired for his paltry sum!
Or is it just the use of the Bogeyman-name of Russia that makes such payments bad?
Is this the same US intelligence that had Trump banged-to-rights on the collusion accusation?!!

Evil Putin.
'Russia has covertly spent more than $300m (£260m) since 2014 to influence politicians in more than 24 countries, the US has
alleged. The Department of State's allegation is based on a declassified US intelligence assessment released on Tuesday.
A senior official from President Joe Biden's administration said: "We think this is just the tip of the iceberg."
Russia has not publicly commented on the issue. Moscow itself has repeatedly accused the US of meddling abroad.
American intelligence "assesses that these are minimum figures and that Russia likely has transferred additional funds covertly
in cases that have gone undetected", said the Biden administration official during a phone briefing.
The official was speaking on condition of anonymity.
The US intelligence assessment released in a cable did not name specific countries or officials believed to have been targeted
by Russia - but said they spanned four continents...'
Is this the same US intelligence that had Trump banged-to-rights on the collusion accusation?!!
