Russian government, but his allegiance is conflicted. his allegiance is to follow the dollar, to follow the dollar which has gotten him everywhere he has ever been in life and he is following it now, and he is setting himself up so that when he is no longer president of the united states and is a private citizen, he will have the same, if not more business opportunities open to him in countries like russia, in countries like saudi arabia, that he has now. >> well leave it there, ned. ned price a...
