Scotty Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTPBegyJyxg&feature=fvst Putin is reportedly not amused:Reuters There comes a time when bribery and corruption are so endemic, so a part of a country and culture's infrastructure and day to day living that corrupt people take pride in how much money their activities can make, and see no need to hide what they are. Putin might not be amused by their open bragging about their corruption, but it's more a case of 'do it but don't talk about it' than any real concern with corruption. He is probably the richest man in the world, according to some reports, all of his money earned through corruption and bribery. Quote It is an inverted moral calculus that tries to persuade the world to demonize one state that tries its civilized best to abide in a difficult time and place, and rides merrily by the examples and practices of dozens of states and leaderships that drop into brutality every day without a twinge of regret or a whisper of condemnation. - Rex Murphy
