This guy's collection?

The UN always seems to be concerned about something but their lack of initiative says otherwise. These artifacts will mostly be destroyed or sold, and ISIS will have made much progress before any one even does anything about it.

I'm stunned to learn that Vlad's a silent partner in ISIS.

"There a great deal of archeological material in the Middle East related to humankind's early history"

Satan wants all that destroyed, like it never existed.

Sounds like its a European smuggling operation, not a Russian one.

Is it better to have the items preserved in Russia? Or destroyed in Syria?

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO has been deeply concerned about the destruction of Syrian’s world heritage sites and the looting of art treasures for sale to private collectors.

The destruction of whole groups of Christians in the ME is of no concern to any UN organization, however.

Perhaps the pieces would be better off being sold to some jerk collection rather than being destroyed by the moHAMmedans.
