The BBC and Putin deserve each other.

Saw it. Interesting stuff.

The incident with the huge dog and Merkel tells you all you need to know about him.

[dromia]

Just to make sure I have it right, Merkel was the one in the chair?

[safetyfirst]

That was Putin. Merkel was more on the edge of hers.

Putin is a big player in this "game"
He served his maximum terms as president then went to be prime minister but STILL ran the country Then went back to president and is still there

To answer the original question

The cold war.
You can take 23 odd Russians out with you as fuel.

That's no a big dog, that was fat old female Labrador and much more genial and pleasant that Merkel will ever be . It only looked big because they get fat if you let them. The animal had 8 puppies and it showed. You want a big dog of his then you'd have these https://cdni.rt.com/files/news/1e/ac/80/00/putin.si.jpg

An akita and a central Asian Shepherd dog Yumi and Verni. Yumi was even gifted to him by the Japanese and they kinda upset he wouldn't take another dog as he has three already including a Bulgarian Shepherd dog, I can tell you he trains them himself because of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOemaZfcQ5g She doesn't stop until he says so. I can't say how I know but the manner he acts with her goes beyond someone who just palms off a dog for others to train.
