Cold War 2.0? Putin and Trump shook American-Russo relations to their core in a game of political interference, global trade, and fear
- These two were on a list of people Putin wanted access to in a negotiation between the US and Russia
- Russia is so mad at Bill Browder they have asked Interpol 7 times to arrest him
- Reason being that the Russian government killed and tortured his lawyer and he subsequently got the Mmagnitsky act based on the case
- After the sixth arrest warrant he was arrested in Madrid, Spain
- If he went back to Russia he would be killed and tortured after he admitted to crimes he didn’t do
- Browder expects Putin is worth $200 billion mostly offshore money
- President Trump has a fixation on becoming Putin’s friend
- Trump had a call with him recently and did not bring up anything from the Bob Muller report
- In the 2016 election Putin had a decision to make, who will be easier on him on sanctions
- He picked Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton
- Russia has been investing large in their nuclear program
- Almost no chance Putin loses power in the near future
- Every move you make and everything you say is recorded in Russia
