President Vladimir Putin's spokesman denied accusations that the leader kept a Super Bowl ring that New England Patriots' owner Robert Kraft wanted back, Alla Eshchenko and Faith Karimi of CNN report. Both sides agree that the ring, with its 124 diamonds, changed hands during Kraft's visit to St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2005. "I took out the ring and showed it to (Putin). And he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said, according to the New York Post. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out." Kraft made the comments at an awards gala Thursday night in New York. A few days after the incident occurred, amid confusion as to whether the ring was a present or was kept by mistake, Kraft issued a statement that said it was a gift. That's the way Putin sees it, the president's spokesman said Sunday. "What Mr. Kraft is saying now is weird," Dmitry Peskov said. "I was standing 20 centimeters away from him and Mr. Putin and saw and heard how Mr. Kraft gave this ring as a gift." Source: The Redzone
My favorite part of the article: Kraft said when he demanded his ring back, the White House intervened and asked him to claim it was a gift to Putin to avoid souring relations with Russia, according to the Post. As a patriot, Kraft says, he played along. Yeah let's not start a world war over a ring...lol
What's funnier? A. This entire story B. The fact the Russian President is even acknowleging this bullcrap.
Kraft just wants an excuse to go to Russia n play those millionaire games with Russian prostitutes...you know how he rolls. Plus Putin is super fly n super cool Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnLewXuZuLo&feature=youtube_gdata_player ...and I fade back to black.
better yet,let's send one thief(rodman) to steal it from another!(prince vlad) Putin looks like a thug,so he more than likely stole it! lets hope he does not send a hitman to kill kraft like stalin sent hit men after john wayne!
Far from it.when it came to terrorists and setting them straight outside of war,reagan would send in the military in a heartbeat! he blew khadaffi's house all to hell,sent troops into granada,beirut,and several other places and sat down to eat a bowl full or korn flakes after he did it! reagan let folks know if you hecked with our citizens and military,you would pay for it!
I think the definition of a cat is sending someone else to to the dirty work that you're too scared to do yourself.
you sound like a man of experience.:icon_cheesygrin: if that were the case,then every president,every general,ever sgt or military man in history would all be pussies because they ordered men into combat which is just flat out insane.if you are not prepared to send people into a situation that you are not man enough to go in yourself,you ain't jack crap anyway!
he was in the army or navy in ww2,but you are right,he never saw combat,but very few presidents ever saw battlefield combat to the level Ike,jfk,johnson or george bush 41 did! presidents know they are sending people into combat who may not return home! i mean they do dumb things a lot,but they certainly know that!
