Well.. The article should be named “The richest man on the planet and his sidekick swapped places…again”

The world has changed.
Russia has changed.
Vladimir Putin has changed.
But not enough.
Not enough for the Russians, and not enough for anybody else.
Putin either has to shift gears — fast — or get out of the way.
Staying the course can only hatch problems that neither the Russians nor the rest of us would ever want to face.

He’s probably having a party at his secret palace on the Black Sea right now. How long can he hold all this together before he is found out I wonder?

I presume,longer than we will live to see ‘cos his replacement will follow before he leaves the sceene. Personally i dont care ‘cos peope who live in Russia do not seem to be bothered as such,but will somebody ever name a decent replacement when commenting on this major “russian issue”?:)

P.S. -havent seen any protests or bad word about Putin anywhere when Transaero bought Air Atlanta in Shannon recently and when they promised to create even more jobs over the next 12 months. Maybe this is because Shannon Ind Estate is half empty now as it is and peope who know this choose to say nothing while others are not THAT aware of the reality? Enda was there so he must be ok with dictator-Putin investing into Ireland.
