Joe, I hate to break it to you like this.... but Russia does not care a whit what you or I think, man.

: They do what they feel is in their best interest. See, we can fuss and fume here like crazy people and get all mad at each other about it... but Russia is for Russia.

The best we can do is hope those folks over there get it straigtened out before folks start fighting and killing each other.

That stuff in the Balkans was BAD! Real bad on all sides. BAD!

The feeling is mutual. I do not care what Russia wants. I am for America.
