[Sam Gamgee]

Heh, I agree with your sentiments completely. Years back Paan American Silver was royally screwed on a property in Russia. Lower bidders got the rights (friends of Putin). What insanity as a CEO must you have to expand in Russia?

A has been nation fighting for its last grasp of air. Frankly good riddance.

[No One Special]

You will not live again.
You will not rise from the snow
Twenty-eight holes from the bayonet
Five from the gun.

I have made a shroud for my friend,
Sad cloth.
She loves, loves blood
This Russian Earth.
