Mr.Putin values people who put food on the table!.
Unlike the ANC regime in South Africa which doesn't care.
But there are indications that they have abandoned the idea of trying to seize any land as they have realised it is against international law and it would bankrupt the country and put an end to their looting.
Even the 'President' admitted that a trillion Rand has been looted, though not a single person in jail of course. Imagine how many houses, schools, hospitals etc could have been created with that stolen tax payers money?
