Michele, Biden is not “allowing Russia” to do this. He has no say. Germany and Russia do not need your permission to do anything. Unless you want to act like yet another Republican lunatic and go to war when you don’t like something. ---

You mean if Biden doesn’t waive sanctions against that company Russia could still build the pipeline? Somehow I just assumed the media was telling the truth. Btw, the terminology wasn’t mine. You would need to correct some stupid media personality for poorly writing the article. ---

So, I get that Russia is generally a bad country and Putin is a dillhole, but I don’t get why their kids look clean and decent and ours in the western world look like fat tattooed freaks out of some horror movie. I know if I was still in the marriage market, I’d look in Russia before I looked in Canada.

We all know you would look outside your country before you would look within. I don’t care. I just wish you would move somewhere you can be proud to live. Maybe you would stop complaining about where you live and who you are sharing your air-space with. ---
