Vladimir Putin, the KGB agent, is still running Russia


Despite stepping down as president, there is little doubt that Vladimir Putin is still running Russia. David Hagberg, author and former Air Force cryptographer, agrees. Hagberg says that, "Putin seeks to centralize control of the government," and that Putin has "pulled in all his old buddies [a lot of KGB guys] and sooner or later Russians will be paying the price with their money, their happiness, and their lives." He also alleges that another Russian revolution will happen eventually.

When Dmitry Medvedev became Russia's president, Russian lawmakers overwhelmingly confirmed Vladimir Putin as prime minister. This placement gave Putin the number-two political post in the country. And Vladimir Putin basically handpicked Medvedev to succeed him well knowing that this would help Putin keep his hand in the cookie jar, and open the opportunity for him to keep control over the country's government.

The question is, when the Russian Revolution comes, who will be in the crosshairs of Putin, and will he complete the building alliance with Iran?
