Stop rooting against President Trump, Sergei.
Self respecting countries don’t murder innocent civilians.

Russia can’t even be trusted with the Olympics....lol

As to Sergei, I adore the Prelude is C sharp minor, and those marvelous piano concerti. Did you know that "Russian" Sergei lived in Beverly Hills, and died there? And that he is buried in the Kensico Cemetery, Valhalla, New York?

You joining the fight yet, REMF?
Good for Sherman. Traitors deserve no less,. The left deserves it als.

Re: Afghanistan, 1980’s, what self respecting country would use a by-product of wheat called yellow rain, and in turn, poison whole tribal villages, as was published in Soldier of Fortune magazine.
Is that like in the rear with the gear? S
