Why do we care? If Putin wanted to start a revolt by changing their form of government to a monarchy and calling himself a czar, why is that our business? If Putin did this, would you want us to stay out of it (as Putin's pawn Donald Trump would likely do) or send troops marching into Moscow to overthrow the dictator and save modern civilization? I know you get a hard-on for anything that has Putin's name on it, but seriously, I'm having trouble following how this tweet means a damn thing and why anyone would care?
By the way, the conference being legitimate and the attendees supporting the positions of the speakers are not the same thing. Nice redirect by the tweeter to correlate the two.
