I first heard it said by Condi Rice at a conference in 2012. "Russia is a mob with a gas station. Some mobs has trash collection businesses. Some mobs have construction companies. Russia's a gas station".
True then, true now.

which happens every Friday and it's getting crazier and crazier.
You missed the spokesmodel calling for the execution of millions of Russians, for instance.

he is supposed to be dying from.
I think the old bastard is likely immune from everything but a hard landing after an attempt at flight.
