The bug in fact is the Islamist dictator Erdogan, who is suppressing freedom in Turkey, allowing mass migration to Europe, buying oil of Islamic State and making enemies of virtually every country.

And since this isn't the United States, I'm sure no Leftists are going to try to confer constitutional rights on the guilty or wring their hands over the swift application of capital punishment.

Borscht is actually a Ukrainian dish and it tastes great. I cook it from my very childhood.

Sunni Man, I don't always agree with you, but thank you for admiring Putin. I do too, however I'm not a Russian citizen, just love Russia.

And guess what: they would tell me to go and live in Russia too (sorry, Skye). They don't understand: we can't always do what we want. But I would love to.. May be some day...
