He's for sure living better on that Putin stipend than his ClA/NSA paycheck lol
if the Russians actually trust him on any high level like that I think it would be stupid as hell
I don't think he's trusted in any meaningful way. It's just good good to have him around for propaganda purposes, i assume
You are way overestimating how much your shitty government pays its own employees
He was probably making 90-140k with good benefits and a pension? His healthcare insurance deductible was probably still 5-10k lol
That money in USA before he cashes his pension is a pretty average life in other developed countries because of how shittier everything is here
It wouldn't take much money for Russia to beat that standard of living
Source: Max pay for stem roles at nsa is 180k since 2023. In his day, it was probably closer to 150k http://federalnewsnetwork.com/pay/2023/08/pentagon-approves-higher-cyber-pay-for-nsa-other-defense-intelligence-agencies/?readmore=1
yeah.. he still made the right choice ultimately
