Sounds reasonable but the sanctions against Putin's Russia should remain in place until they join the civilized world again. Sorry if that sounds harsh Don.

I think our sanctions reinforce Putin's home support.

Isn't that just a tad hypocritical?

Not according to the big US oil company Exxon, Polish and French farmers, French
Military Industrial Complex and Germany car/medium industrial companies.

Germany is facing a mild recession.

Exxon exerts a lot of pressure. Poroshenko will be more amenable and the sanctions will go.

Note: Putin is not an anti capitalist ideologue, nor is he pro Islamic terrorist.
And he has not executed any REGIME CHANGE. His actions are more "civilize"
than many in the west.

His cares are the ethnic Russians on his border and the Russian base in Syria.
The US can work with that.

Exxon just help the Russians strike oil in the Arctic.

And it is not here? Monsanto has most of our appeals courts bough and paid for. We buy our milk at High's just up the road from us. It is not the convenience but the fact that the dairy does not use growth hormone rBST in their cows. About two months ago they were forced to add fine print saying that the FDA has found the milk to not be affected by its use, which is utter bullshit. rBST makes the cows susceptible to disease so the dairy stuffs them full of antibiotics they pass into the milk so now all the bugs are resistant to most antibiotics. Several politicians are trying to get the excess use of antibiotics by farmers banned but none ever even breaths Monsanto yet rBST use is banned everywhere but here.

I stop drinking milk for some time now because I noted it gave me a bloated feeling. Thanks for the heads up on antibiotics I was not thinking about milk with that in mind.

Monsanto is not alone, there are plenty of other corporations and wealthy individuals buying politicians and jurists.
