Comedy.

As to your two quotes above, if I were Putin I wouldn't pay either.

As to the quote from Pilate "What is (the) truth" That is the big problem. We aren't going to get the truth from our own government, much less from NATO, Ukraine, or Russia. I have to believe Russia felt threatened and we will never know what NATO and Ukraine were up to.

If you were Putin you wouldn’t pay either.


I got it.
