Great post, a lot of insight and I agree with most of what you're saying, I think. I'm so sick of this whole Russia dog-and-pony show, I don't really pay much attention to it anymore about who-said-what-when-to-who... it's just become a big ruse and distraction. It's unbelievable how petty our "leaders" are and yes our system is a farce of democracy and free trade. Really an excellent post, great work ! Upvoted
