Damp Squibb, the guests are not helpful and are dodgy and comment out of rumour than facts. Of course top business all over the world finance the incumbents and Putin is no exception and are we to say the British or West oligarchs have not contributed to the destruction of Iraq and Libya? Of course they did because for them the spoils of the mayhem would benefit them.
