| The Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky has told the Guardian he is plotting the violent overthrow of President Putin from his base in Britain after forging close contacts with members of Russia's ruling elite. In comments which appear calculated to enrage the Kremlin, and which will further inflame relations between London and Moscow, the multimillionaire claimed he was already bankrolling people close to the president who are conspiring to mount a palace coup. "We need to use force to change this regime," he said. "It isn't possible to change this regime through democratic means. There can be no change without force, pressure." Asked if he was effectively fomenting a revolution, he said: "You are absolutely correct." |
Within the past year, the Russian government has been involved in a disturbing series of events. All of which point to Russia reverting back into a communist nation. Dissent is met with death, Russian espionage in the United States is at cold war levels, and nothing makes them happier than to provide enemies of the United States with weapons. Of course, I cannot fail to mention how upset they were when we decided to base a missile defense shield in former soviet bloc countries.
I certainly hope Mr. Berezovsky has a trustworthy and iron curtain security around him.
