This is great--let the goodwill triumph all the time. Regardless of my overall negative view of Putin, in this case he did a right thing. It would be great if rescuers from Russia, Europe and other places will be invited to participate in the rescue effort. America is always ready to help whenever disaster strikes no matter what the political relations with the affected country.
Bear up, people! Get all the boats and helicopters there! I wish we've sent more than one plane with personnel and equipment.
