Poppy, where have you been the last 50 years? The Jupiter missiles were removed from Turkey in exchange for reciprocal removal in Cuba and a guarantee not to invade Cuba . The real problem was that America failed in support after the break-up of FSU. Once again, the "Greatest Generation" gone and the nepotistic "I got mine" generation taking over and burning another pipe-load while the world drifts aimlessly.
I'm going to Odessa and then to Nikolaev in June. If it looks bad, I'll cancel the trip. If not, I'm going. I have plenty of experience in the FSU. Only a war will deter me. Oh, Durak, by the way, perhaps you have heard the old expression, "Scratch a Russian and you'll find a Tatar underneath.":)
