M.N.: The scent of a liar, the smell of a pretender,  the odor of deceit... As the popular Russian proverb goes (and is used often as an action guideline and a strategy):  If you do not deceive them, you cannot sell it to them ("Не обманешь, не продашь")...   " Vladimir Putin’s politics may stink , but he sure smells [wants to smell - M.N.] good. That’s the word out of Moscow, where a perfume inspired by the Russian strongman hit shelves Thursday."  Other comments:   Smekken  ‏ @ Smekken     14h 14 hours ago @ PDChina Does it also smell like dog manure? _____________________________________________ A year in the US: Social turmoil, violence and historic change | World | DW.COM | 27.12.2015 US Gay Rights Battles Continue Beyond Marriage Iraqi forces seize Islamic State stronghold in Ramadi: spokesman | Reuters Taliban Denies Talks With Russia On Fighting Islamic State Medical Marijuana's Big Business Lures Ex-Law Enforcers - ABC Ne
