Too funny! Vladimir Putin steals Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl Ring

[trumad]

BOSTON - Russian President Vladimir Putin walked off with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s diamond-encrusted 2005 Super Bowl ring, but was it a generous gift or a very expensive international misunderstanding?

Following a meeting of American business executives and Putin at Konstantinovsky Palace near St. Petersburg on Saturday, Kraft showed the ring to Putin — who tried it on, put it in his pocket and left, said Russian news reports.

4. Maybe a misunderstanding

I had an odd experience in Russia about gifts. I'd met a politician there, and complimented his wife on her beautiful silver and jade rings. She showed them to me, and tried to give one to me. From my cultural perspective, I couldn't take such a gift from a person I had just met. From hers, it would have been rude not to offer. I can see how there could be a cultural collision over something like that.
