Putin was KGB.
The KGB died in 1991. What were you doing in 1991? Are you the same person?
I'm willing to believe that some people can change, including Putin.
Now, do you think Putin's government is spying on it's own people?
do you think Putin's government is spying on it's own people?
I have no idea. The only info I have is from Corporate Media. We know we can't trust them. I guess the question to ask is :Why would Putin or any their Gov't spy on their own citizens? Control over others would be my guess. Paranoid, power hungry people tend to spy on others. Putin doesn't strike me as that type of person. Does he control the whole government? Probably not after learning what our own government has been doing.
I suppose spying on people would help in writing election speeches. Or aid in preventing assassinations and terrorist attacks. A very real threat for putin right now, i guess.
Is it even possible to become and stay president for 16 years without being or becoming paranoid and power hungry?
