There are multiple stories out there because of this person being a known ex intel member of a country that excites the media allowing them to then over play the story and sell more newspapers.Don`t forget this has come at the opening of the new bond movie.Good time to sell newspaper`s.People love a russia spy story.
Disinfo is generated by the media speculating on possible scenario`s, the intel community dosn`t need to put out false info, the media is capable of this solely.The no comment/we do not discuss matter concerning the security services activites etc etc etc then allows the media to writing whatever they want.
If Putin wanted this guy dead he would have been robbed and stabbed to death or his car crash or he would have been found in some woods with his wrist slashed or hanging in a tree.
The upshot is that Russia, having attempted to convert herself politically thanks to an insightful leader, was abandoned by the US which first coerced the changes. This is not much different from what we did in Iraq with our limited troop commitment and focus on the oil ministry. Anarchy was a foregone conclusion and it helps (or at least they thought it would) the present administration in perpetuating the terrorism myth which swayed the public towards accepting an unnecessary and costly war.
Russia is led by an ex kgb/fsb nutter not an insightful leader.Putin uses the same method as business you have one public side that people can see and another working behind the scenes.He`s a past master of this.
America works slightly different they openly try to change things but try to defend there actions using the media with disinfo and lies.Russia`s Iraqi isn`t as public as America`s.They both use completely different tactics.Putin is a sneaky, slimey spook and runs the country the same.They had to openly change but that was before Putin, once the countries politicians decided communisum was better for them since the cold war. Putin was put back into power to run similar to the cold days but without openly closing the country down.
Russia likely needs a strongman like Saddam (Putin? - maybe) to control the worst of the worst in a corrupt system. Dubya would like nothing better than to be that strongman for us here in the good old US of A. He said so himself when he was first innaugurated in 2000. He believes he is the chosen one. God help us.
Putin`s inherited the corruption caused when comm fell.That system was corrupt to the benifit of the politicians, now it`s been replaced by mafia business.Putin dosn`t care as much about that he`s trying to keep control of the state as a whole since the people have tasted a different kind of world.If he could internationally get away with mass control and put the old ways back he would in an instant,but since thats not an option other methods will do slowly but eventually succeed.
