[Damien Karras]

is that equivalent to Russia's GDP by any chance?





don't worry I'm kidding

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Nothing surprising here.

It's common for tyrants to steal billions from their nation's poor economies. Who's going to stop them?

 

[Rhood]

He makes less than Dick Cheney & the Koch brothers combined.

The Koch brothers aren't politicians- they just buy them. Cheney is worth $90 million. It's funny how you attached him as if there is parity.

I read the article in a Russian accent.

Harry Reid, is that you?

Yeah, and if I added up all thieving tyrants of the world together, their net worth would be many times over what the Koch brothers are worth combined.

The difference being, the Kochs actually built their business and made their money, rather than steal it.

 

[Iroh]

He's got nothing on Rusk.

 

[therealdope]

And who says he's not a western styled leader.

 

[Groundswell]

That number is way low. And, every cent of it is ill-gotten.

Anyhow, he is morally - and in every other way - beyond bankrupt.

A man's true wealth is measured by morality, fairness, and decency.

[Einarr]

And who think Russians use dollars as currency?

Probably the majority of Yanks. :icon_lol:

 

[Rusk]

And who says he's not a western styled leader.

Feel free to contest these numbers:

His most vocal critics assert that Putin has leveraged his power to acquire a 4.5% ownership stake in natural gas producer Gazprom, a 37% stake in oil company Surgutneftegas and 50% stake in Swiss oil-trader Gunvor. Gazprom alone does over $150 billion in revenue annually, Guvnor does $80 billion and Surgutneftegas over $20 billion. Using their most recent market capitalizations, Putin's combined ownership stakes would give him a personal net worth of $70 billion!

They lay out their calculation right there. If you're going to challenge it, then challenge it.

Yes, I'm rich!!!! Whooo-hoo!!!

 

[JonesBones]

Yeah, but he poses bare chested, hunting and stuff. He does Judo. He looks tough. He's cool. Forget that he is a dim witted tyrant, destroying his country.

"Hence arises the fact that everything better struggles through only with difficulty; what is noble and wise very rarely makes its appearance, becomes effective, or meets with a hearing, but the absurd and perverse in the realm of thought, the dull and tasteless in the sphere of art, and the wicked and fraudulent in the sphere of action, really assert a supremacy that is disturbed only by brief interruptions."

The wicked and fraudulent dominate the sphere of action.
