Former CIA Officer Exposes the Real Putin

Written by Alex Newman

The real Vladimir Putin is not a nationalist, but rather a cunning creature of the Soviet KGB who saw the supposed collapse of Soviet communism a great geopolitical catastrophe, explains former CIA officer and leading national-security expert Clare Lopez in this interview on Conversations That Matter.

Lopez, who has spent many years exposing the communist and Islamist threats to the United States, argues that Putin sees weakness in America and across the West as immorality runs rampant. This is a dangerous situation. The two also discuss briefly Putin’s relationship with Henry Kissinger and the explosive revelations by KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn.
