    Okay… So he went to Russia in 2003. Considering that the consensus in 2003 was that Russia was still on its way to becoming a democracy I am not that offended by it personally.
    “Putin’s hometown” being St. Petersburg, which is the 2nd biggest city in Russia.

    What is more worrying is all the things that happened since 2003.

          They all go to a secretive 2 week slumber party in California every year where they don’t allow women. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if these two had some sword fights. Sorry for conjuring that visual for someone.

            Not just any slumber party, Bohemian Grove. Famed among all the conspiracy theorists for being the main place where “they” sacrifice kids to Satan… but when it’s their boy taking selfies there, not a peep.

      I’m surprised they didn’t call it Leningrad to drive home the point. Dude’s a turd, there’s no need to make shit up to make him look bad.

    I mean, this is just shit journalism. That guy is clearly a money grabbing cunt but one look at the article tells you that he was given a private cruise round the Baltics, which is an extremely common route and would have stopped in Estonia, Latvia etc before ending up in St Petersbourg, the same as dozens of cruise ships every day.

    Then a private helicopter flight to one of the most popular tourist spots in St P’s

    Yes, the guy obviously needs investigating, but headlines like that are just fucking infantile ragebait and detract from any point the ‘journalist’ was trying to make
