How did Putin end up with a ring in the first place?
Oh, it’s in the article. My bad.
Kraft showed it to him and he tried it on.... then put it in his pocket.... Kraft was dumbfounded
Yeah read it in the article after the fact. Didn’t see the link at first. I am sitting by the lake waiting for my daughter to finish her dance class and it’s very sunny. Hard to read the small mobile screen. Thanks for the explanation though.
Honest to God I dont blame Kraft lol... You are in Russia with Putin who we knew was a little crazy at the time and he just pockets your ring... Not going to win a fight in Russia against him then when the Bush Admin went hey this is bad PR can you please take an L for us he made the simple and clean move at the time
Yeah, the guy shouldnt have taken it off his finger.
It was a disaster waiting to happen.
Breakups are always so messy…
I mean at the time and even now I think with how absolute insane Putin is if he takes something of yours... what can you do? Back then he was a pretty solid ally of the West as well. Dangerous and crazy yes but he still was a pretty solid ally
I think the government made a ring for him to replace the one that was "gifted".
But he straight up stole it, and no one was man enough to say anything about it.
Kraft got a replacement one I doubt the Bush Admin paid for it directly but probably did something like invited him to some event that would easily have cost more
Just wasnt a good idea to bring it.
Showing a picture would have been better.
I heard it is in the Kremlin, displayed for all to see.
