Ms Red Sparrow had some kind of travel budget, but was not "professional"...

Accused Russian spy spoke at USF St. Petersburg world affairs conference

Arsenault recalled that Butina was on the panel because she claimed to run a gun-rights organization in Russia, and was the only participant with a pro-gun stance. Organizers liked that she had a different take on the issue and could offer an international perspective, Arsenault said.

The group she's said to have founded is called Right to Bear Arms.

"I don't know to this day if it was real, or a paper cover for her infiltration into the NRA," the professor said.

Arsenault recalled that Butina didn't come off as "professional" during her participation on the panel.

"She was not a scholar," he said. "She was just, as you might imagine. She was pretty. And kind of coquettish. She smiled a lot."

1. Men are so suseptible sexual corruption. When

their egos are stroked by some young, cute, exotic (foreign) woman who feigns being sexually attracted when the women in his home country find him loathsome and disgusting, it's all over but the treasoning.

2. I'll forgive the sweeping generality in your comment...

but will acknowledge that many are, and especially those in charge of our current RW cults.

3. Thanks for recognizing my meaning and not taking

offense.

I agree I need to narrow that down to men who seek power and have power over others with no compunction against acting in any manner they chose.
