Putin was an intelligence officer during the Cold War, although he spent his career stationed in Germany. He is also a personal friend of the guys who were directors of Soviet intelligence back in the days of Kennedy. Here he is visiting his former director who is now 90 years old.

Soviet intelligence knew exactly what went down with the Kennedy job, and Putin more than anyone else will know the story, probably more than any member of the public in America ever will.

Putin is an interesting guy. You can tell he's still got the intelligence culture inbuilt. Holds information close to the chest. He has that way of moving that guys who've trained for one-on-one combat have. You can also tell he's physically aware of his environment all the time when you see him on video.

No shit, really?
