7. Thank goodness you found a way to address that post. It looked hopeless to me.

Some things look so overwhelmingly bent it seems too huge a job to try to straighten them out.

It was so preposterous, so wildly bent, it didn't seem possible to approach it but you did it admirably.

You have taken the time to know about the history of these countries, and their leaders and their interrelatedness, and what it means. You are living proof you can't do anything half-assed and not take the initiative to look beyond the corporate news. You have done the research, you've studied it, and always looked for answers to obvious misinformation, and you've certainly got the intelligence to know when you've read bogus snarf from the propaganda mills.

The strong leftist leaders have come so far in such a small span in time, they've worked so hard to overcome the horrendous disadvantage the olgiarchs created for their countries.

And they all are targets, and they know it, just as you said. Courageous beyond belief.
