A recent event

I sat down the other day and read an article from the magazine The Spectator.
The article was discussing President Putin and his recent activity which happens to involve the following:

1. Buying lots of weapons
2. Neglecting his country's infrastructure and health financially to buy more weapons

This scares me quite a lot because i think about the damage this man can cause. What scares me more is that I've met him, face to face. He's a cold guy with a military ethos around him, barely spoke a word and when he did, it was hardly audible because of the radio noise emanating from one of the many walkie-talkies carried by his bodyguards...
Wierd...
