Yes, but don’t forget they’re Russian . LOL
oh don’t worry about it ... I would tell you the latest news but am afraid you tell someone.

It's just so....unAmerican
Kiev started all this crap with their little coup.

Seems they bit off more than they could chew.
However...about the 21st (last Friday)...NBC Reporter traveled 500 miles 'inside' the Russian-UKrainian border and said.... saw no sign of Russian troops/tanks. His tweets: "NBC Just inside Russia along the very long border. .....If there's intent to invade, you don't see it.... We saw lots of combines and farmers selling apples, but if there are 20-25k Russian forces along the border they were hiding in their bases"

Why don’t they just send us a new map and get it over with?
No doubt caww, you are always up-to-date.
