As a child the treat of the year was when my parents would splurge and buy a can of salmon. In my life salmon was expensive and not something that you ever had very much of, canned only and fresh never ever in my life, until I was an adult… Then I came to Russia […]
I am upset, in fact I am very upset… We (USA) have spent billions trying to destroy Syria. We have spent billions to destroy Ukraine (5 billion over a few years to be exact!) We have spent trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan to destroy those countries. We spent several billion to destroy Libya and it […]
