LOL. But I have no idea. I just know that Lauer is a pretty boy empty head who says and asks whatever his behind the scenes controllers want him to say. He wouldn't know his right from left if you ask me.

An old russian saying

"They pretend to pay me, I pretend to work."

I have been told by many eastern europeans that it will take a couple of generation before the people regain a work ethic. Vodka and lethargy have become to engrained in the existing population.

Poverty is in the mind and lenin, marx and stalin have planted it deep in many russian minds.

For the young, life is better. For the old, life is harder. For the rest lfe is about the same as it was during the soviet period. When I was over there, my friend would say, 'during the soviet time we had money but there was nothing to buy. Now we can buy anything but we have no money. This is Russian reality.'

Let's be fair to Comrade Lauer until we learn all the facts.
