Putin is a Thug (no, really, he is)

Putin Stole Super Bowl Ring

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft revealed the real story behind a 2005 meeting with Vladimir Putin, during which the Russian president pocketed his Super Bowl ring, worth more than $25,000. Kraft, at the time, claimed the diamond-encrusted bauble was a gift, but he now admits Putin stole it, and the White House intervened when he demanded it back.

Kraft explained the incident happened while Sandy Weill and other business execs were in St. Petersburg. “I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, ‘I can kill someone with this ring,’ ” Kraft told the crowd at Carnegie Hall’s Medal of Excellence gala at the Waldorf-Astoria.“I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out.”

So the largest country in the world, with nuclear weapons, has a mob boss as its president. Neat.

Shut up.

Putin is a dictator.

They're both bordering morons in this exchange.  And now we all know Kraft is a giant pussy for doing what the gubment told him.

No damage for Kraft. He owns the team. Bet he just ordered up a new ring for himself.

Yes, lots of damage. At his billionaire poker game his new nicknames are all some slang for vagina.  The man has no balls.

Maybe he should have overwhelmed all those KGB agents and recovered his ring. That's assuming he was armed. If he wasn't, his options were limited. That said, Putin should give the ring back. When Putin shows it off, who would believe he earned it by virtue of the game?

Read the whole article genius.  Of course he's not going to overwhelm 3 KGB agents (that probably weren't there).  He's a massive pussy for letting the government tell him what to do.

I was being sarcastic, genius. Thought you'd see that. Forgiven...we're all friends here.

Putin did the same thing to Bush.  Dude is a total stud boss thug.

Russians are so interesting. It's my understanding that they are all brilliant and über-masculine and completely unethical.

I agree, that's what happens when the whole of Europe turned their noses up at you for 400 years.

They are basically the inbred WVU flag toting hilljacks of appalachia but sitting on a crap ton of oil/gas.

Yes, that sums them up very well. It's impossible to deal with them. The smallest thing becomes the biggest pain in the ass. They will also curse your entire family if they don't like how negotiations ended. Like, they finally agree to some terms and then tell you they hope your entire family suffers a horrible fate during the handshake and contract signing.

Why do I even read K-S-U Wildcats! threads?

Because they're awesome.  I'll bet Vlad has a "thug life" tattoo across his chest.

Is that why every car in Russia has a dash cam?
