It's funny, I am trying to remember if there was this much concern and outrage for innocent lives while over half a million people were killed in Syria, and over six million were made refugees.

The United Nations was trying to squeeze the refugees from Syria into Greece, they had the people in camps while they tried to squeeze them into Greece. I told them that Greece is small, and Greece is already full of Greeks, and I told the United Nations to take the refugees from Syria to Abu Dhabi and to Dubai instead where they can have homes and where they can work as essential workers, etc. Send the Muslim refugees to Abu Dhabi and to Dubai where they are needed as essential workers.

Salute,

Tony V.

It was a harbinger. Russia had an arm up to the elbow in the republican party and that is who held the senate as it worked turtle treason to weaken us.

If Americans, who are better people than republicans, had held enough seats, we could have seen real pushback, including at the Russian influence campaign that brought on years of republican misrule that further emboldened Putin. 

It is not to late to wrap up republicans and tories and goons of that ilk everywhere for the betterment of humanity.

Yes.

Not by your party there wasn't.

This is at the same time that the deal over the Iran Nuclear situation is close to signing, but with Russia threatening to try to block it, too.

What Russia seems to not understand is that their threats about European oil makes it worth Iran's while to ditch them for new dance partners - they could pretty readily make up that 40% shortfall that Russia's cutting Europe off would bring.

Yes.

While anti-American Ward is gloating over the refusal to take Biden's calls by the Saudis and UAE, the Biden team is working to deal with the issue without doing whatever the Middle Eastern folks want.

Yes, as Ward reported, the relationship is cooler. Oddly enough, Biden isn't impressed by their murderous ways.

Lot of people thought what happened in Syria had to do with the fight against Isis. Good riddance to violent, xenophobic, primitive, trash.  Putin must have thought after he was some kind of invincible war leader.

Apparently Russian command is not composed of the risk-averse.  And clearly dominated by idiots. 

[Holly Martins]

BTW, anyone know why some news outlets are putting Russian oil imports, as a percentage of total US consumption, at 3% (Forbes, et al) and some at 8% (WSJ, et al)?

I sense there are two different metrics being used here.
