Putin knows how to run the KGB playbook. I mean, he knows how to work people.

Its not about earning a paycheck, its about doing something good that you believe in.

I meet with ambassadors from all countries in my role as a member of Congress, and you always have better relationships with those you actually personally get along with. That matters.
