This really is amazing. This is so blatant, so brazen that it's staggering.

"Politics is like being on a plane, you can sit on the left, you can sit on the right, you can even sit in the middle. But in the end, you're still going to get to where you're going to get to. Because in the end, you're simply a passenger, not the Pilot." -ME

For the Russian people, that is ever so true!!

All the best ATS, kiwi
