Only thing thats not consistent with this story is that Putin, from the beginning, was pro Russia. He made Russia great again after the oligarchs under Yeltsin had started looting and plundering all the natural resources, and he came in and put an end to all that.

If he was the monster, he could have cut a deal with the Cabal and made out like a bandit with the full protection and no opposition.

Also, they way he handled Chechens, when the west started that conflict to destabilise him is quite amazing. Now the Chechens are his great supporters. The conflict was resolved by 2009, before 2011.
