Putin calls internet a 'CIA project'

In the last decade or so, he's not that far off. Though anyone who believes he's protecting Russia... I laughed at the stock plummet bit.

	Quote: The Russian president has long hinted that he wants a Russian-run alternative to the internet.

So... first of all, he doesn't actually GET what the internet is. i.e. a global interconnected network.
Secondly, he wants another competing internet under the control of the Russian government. Yep, that'll work.
