Your claim is nonsensical.

Cool story. Reminds me of the MIG pilot that defected from the USSR and landed in Japan in 1976. Gave the Mig 25 to the USAF. The soviets demanded it’s return. So the Air Force returned it in boxes. Each part had been cataloged and individually boxed up.

What a beautiful story!

[DMD13]

What an absurd, stupid statement.

[nbenyo]

Nope, just pointing out the absurdity of those rooting for the enslavement of Ukrainians by Cuba’s ally Russia.

[DIRTYSECRET]

I remember his quote. “Without my family I’m nothing”.

[Paul R.]

I wonder if they threw in a few “unfortunate clerical errors”.

[Rockingham]

Yup. It ought to be made into a movie. Done properly, it would make for both a great adventure story and great love story.

[rlmorel]

I agree.

It would have to be made by someone like Dinesh D’Souza though.

All the others would make the pilot out to be the bad guy.

[rlmorel]

Could you explain how this subject has anything at all to do with that?

[Rockingham]

I think that John Milius or his daughter Amanda (director of The Plot against the President) would also do a good job. And Mel Gibson is another possible, unquestionably talented even if troubled. There are more conservatives in Hollywood than one assumes, they are just very quiet about it.
