Well the pharm industry surely hates me. Never ill, doctor for a physical every two years, don't even take aspirin but once every couple years. Another misconception of yours crushed to smithereens. Or was it not a misconception but just a garden variety pan Slavist discrediting operation attempt.

As an aside, I do find it humorous, that here I am, ethnically "pan Slavic" (but for a slight amount of German and Mongol blood and with acknowlegement of being more or less assimilated into Anglo American culture) arguing with an American born WASP who buys into Pan Slavism. Amazing, truly amazing! The world has gone completely mad....

WASP? I don't think so. Define this word for me.

I'm skeptical about this report of 12 tanks moving on Kyiv. Aren't they already there? Or did they break down? Does the Ukraine even have 12 tanks in working order?

From an article last April:

...But the corruption is much wider and more universal. For example: in 2001 according to the inventory by our armed forces, 200 tanks were in use and combat-ready. And they were happy about it. But now it has been shown that from 2000-2001 in the Ukrainian armed forces only 10(!) tanks were in use.

From one point of view, there is optimism. Since the tanks are still there, it means no one stole them. But so far as much as the utilization of tanks costs money, would it not be interesting to find out where the money went that was to be used for maintenance of the other 190 tanks, which, according to the military, were being utilized and at full combat readiness?

"...arguing with an American born WASP"

Pardon me, but I don't remember arguing with you.
