RFE/RL The Daily Vertical: From Trolling to Espionage

2016/9/27 15:18:10

As you will probably have noticed, there has been an immense change in the seating arrangements on Moscow’s flag ship, the Good Ship Putin, which is busily steaming toward the commodore’s desired destination with a safe harbor with every deck chair manned by a blindly loyal Putineer. The new crew’s orders are quite obviously to round up every right wing leader in Europe and prepare for smooth sailing so long as Vladimir Putin draws breath. Almost every Putin old hand from St Petersburg days has been given some meaningless new position and warned to stand clear while the real insider bully boys take over to assure that any dreams of democracy – and that horror of horrors, another possible “color revolution” – are strangled in their crib.
