Wonderful news, indeed! I hope that implosion of the gangster state happens soon so that the seemingly random missle and artillery attacks can cease. I wonder if Uk counter battery fire is reaching into Russia at this point.

Since the US became the Pax Americana, replacing the Pax Britannica, our unelected elites have always been open to dealing with people who weren't elected, who would "do their duty" as loyal servants/allies of the empire. Our "defense of democracy" rings pretty hollow to the Vietnamese, to the Iranians who supported Mossadegh. Killing him is the truly ironic event of post-war history - had the CIA and MI6 really been interested in supporting democracy and stability in the mideast, they would have supported this western-educated British Socialist democrat. The oil control they were really there for was lost 15 years later when the Shah took control and helped form OPEC - Mossadegh's success would have been a model to the other nationalist leaders of what to do. Then there's the overthrow of Arbenz in Guatemala for the crime of wanting more of his people to have land that United Fruit said was theirs - which plunged Guatemala and Central America into now 70 years of instability that has created our "border crisis." Those are just to top hits of the "American Design For Democracy Around The World."
Thank you. I can unfortunately extrapolate from there. It makes me profoundly sad. After WWII America was the shining city on the hill to the whole world. Now, not so much. Prior to 2008 I considered her to be the biggest threat to world peace. Now I certainly prefer America to Russia, China, or India but I am of northern European extraction. I imagine for black or brown people it doesn't make much difference. Some days I am glad I am old

They have an agreement with us not to use our gear to do things inside Russia.
Which I cannot comprehend at all.

TC, please tell me why? Fern gives me all general stuff but nothing specific
Allen, I'm disappointed in you imagining TC speaking for me or vice versa. I'm laughing. You know my politics better than he does.
He is not speaking for you. He is answering my question which you professionally duck and weave around
Touche. Ducking and weaving were not my aim. Your fault finding тАжcapped the end of this exchange.
