Okay.. So he went to Russia in 2003. Considering that the consensus in 2003 was that Russia was still on its way to becoming a democracy I am not that offended by it personally.
"Putin's hometown" being St. Petersburg, which is the 2nd biggest city in Russia.
What is more worrying is all the things that happened since 2003.
They all go to a secretive 2 week slumber party in California every year where they don't allow women. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if these two had some sword fights. Sorry for conjuring that visual for someone.
Not just any slumber party, Bohemian Grove. Famed among all the conspiracy theorists for being the main place where "they" sacrifice kids to Satan... but when it's their boy taking selfies there, not a peep.
Yeah, describing St Petersburg as "Putin's hometown" is pretty manipulative. It's a beautiful city, historically a popular tourist destination and home to one of the world's best museums.
