Yes, not one or two poisonings only, rather a lot, the last one still in a coma with possible life threatening consequences - do not oppose the sate, or else! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

That's right, Jennifer. Opposition in Russia = death, one way or the other. ~ gw

Woah a fine poetic political rant and I like how you found their names rhyme. Strong poem in condemnation. I thought you were not American. Because in my knowledge the only country that doesn't get along with Russia is America. Kudos! .............l..................... ........ ...........

Hello Gershon ... to keep in power, go to war with another country to unite the people. This has happened so many times - thank you Gershon - Lindsay
