New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft shared a story on how Russian President Vladimir Putin stole Kraft’s Superbowl ring after the Patriots won Superbowl XXXIX.
According to the Western Journal, Kraft was visiting Russia in 2005 and had a visit with Putin, where the Russian President asked if he could see Kraft’s Superbowl Ring.
The Western Journal explains what happened next:
“I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, ‘I can kill someone with this ring,’” Kraft said.
Putin did not stop at admiring the ring, though. Kraft said when he signaled his desire for Putin to return the ring, it did not go over as planned.
“I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out,” Kraft said.
When Kraft told the Whitehouse what happened, he was told to consider it as a gift to Putin. It leaves the impression that this is not the first time something like this has happened.
It not only tells you what kind of man Putin is but if this is how he treats visitors can you imagine how he is treating Russians.
