especially considering how much I trusted dry-drunk conman GWB to have an an accurate read of another, smarter, conman oligarch.

It's interesting how many people who still think of Russia as communist, though. "Why do these cold warriors embrace commies?" I hear too often. but seriously, i tell them, "these are not communists anymore, but rather fascist money grabbers, who will don any sort of ideological garb that enables them to collect more, more, more." Nihilists! Lol, sad.
