This guy Putin has got a plan--Not for sure what it is!--but he's got a plan. Putin's a "serious strategist" Henry Kissinger wrote recently...If you try to substitute names there: "This guy Obama has got a plan," "Obama's a 'serious strategist'"...No. Putin met with some Russian "oligarchs" the other day. His message: "Come home, oligarchs." And bring your money. Something like $64 billion left Mother Russia last year. If you're a Russian (Putin is a Russian) that is nyet good no matter how you look at it. Putin's message was a tactic, a tactic to defeat US and European economic sanctions. Russian oligarchs money has fled to "tax havens." The "country" listed as the fourth leading "investor" in Russia is...Jersey.
The top three are Cyprus, British Virgin Islands, and Luxembourg.
If this guy Putin's message of de-offshorizatsiya, de-offshoreization resonates with the oligarchs, all that money will be beyond the reach of America and Europe, with or without sanctions, and within the reach of Comrade Putin.
