“Putin is a terrible communicator to begin with; …. [H]is KGB instructors found him withdrawn and
tight-lipped, and even his former wife understood him so poorly that,
when he was proposing marriage, she thought he was breaking things off.”
—The Washington Post

Let’s hope he speaks clearly,
Or all may pay dearly.
