    • So basically he's accused of the thing Putin is definitely guilty of on a far larger scale, stealing money from government institutions.yuekit
    • @garbage: perhaps I misunderstood - i thought you posted this as a counter to those who think US et al is an unalloyed force for Bad in the world.Nairn
    • No, somebody in an earlier post really questioned if Putin has killed journalists and political rivals, but it's lost in over 100 notes.garbage
    • @yuekit It seems that way, no clean hands in a plague pit.garbage

    • Yup, and after literally nothing happened after the Panama Papers, it became real clear that the powers that be were much stronger than previously estimated.garbage
    • As I recall...PM of Iceland resigned. It was a minor scandal in UK for David Cameron. Zero consequences for Putin, in China the news was totally banned.yuekit
