Putin better hope his counter-intelligence people don't look too closely at who is undermining Russia.
Huh:
Speaking at a meeting of top officials of the Federal Security Service, or FSB, the main KGB successor agency, Putin pointed at the “so-called policy of containment of Russia,” charging that it includes efforts to “derail our development, slow it down, create problems alongside our borders, provoke internal instability and undermine the values that unite Russian society.”
The Russian president added that those activities by foreign powers, which he didn't name, are aimed at “weakening Russia and putting it under outside control.”
But of course Putin is saying that the West is out to get him. Putin locked Russia into pointless confrontation with the West now that he has extended his appeasement of China another five years.
Putin wants his intelligence people to stop "Western" efforts to destabilize Russia.
I wish the West was capable of that.
Despite my dismissal of Putin's charge, I do sometimes I wonder if Lenin was just the first Russian sent there to sow
chaos. Why there isn't a conspiracy theory in Russia about Putin having
the same role is beyond me.
Will those counter-intelligence people really look for who is effing up Russia?
And if they do, will those counter-intelligence people finally tell Putin to stop effing up royally?
