All fake, it is a conspiracy (putin speech)

I guess that was the christmas speech to his nation.

Don't believe a word, he used to be in the KGB in his younger years, and someone like him can not be interested in keeping white,western, christian culture alive and going.

There is no such thing as a conspiracy anyway. Nothing is ever planned by cartels behind closed doors,  things come as a complete surprise, just so.

And here I thought the KGB was communist, true believers, and atheists to boot.

As to cartels, they don't seem to work very well. OPEC members all agreed to cut production to increase prices, but EVERY ONE cheats.
