Asked recently to explain Putin’s mindset and his next moves, Bill
Gertz, recently honored with the Reed Irvine Award for Investigative
Journalism for his career accomplishments as a national security
columnist, said that Putin is a “KGB thug, pure and simple.” He said
that both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama Administrations “vastly
misunderstood” what is going on in the former Soviet Union. “Putin
wants to restore Soviet hegemony in that part of the world. They are
trying to re-establish a Soviet-style system.”
