They must be really desperate for money when a small ex-Soviet satellite nation is willing to hang you up to dry for a few hundred mill..

Kyrgyzstan is suffering from a deficit of a several hundred million dollors and several vowels.

Few years back we had an 18yo exchange student from Kyrgyzstan stay with us for the school year. He was a Muslim.

We would order pizza and get a cheese for him and our regular pepperoni and sausage with extra cheese for the rest of us.

Late one night I walk into the kitchen to find him standing in front of the fridge stuffing his face with pepperoni and sausage pizza!

His eyes as big as saucers, and with a mouth full of pizza, he looked at me over the slice stuffed into his mouth and said, “Don’t tell my mom!!”

Probably one of the funniest things I’d ever seen.

Pobeda1945 Have you ever owned any of the Pobeda automobiles? I hear there are still a few running the streets of Cuba that are Museum quality...
IMO, we are seeing the resumption of the Cold War with both the US and the neo-USSR on a smaller budget. I guess the countries that are the pawns of the chess match will have to lower their extortion price and their expectations.
When will the Soviets invade Afghanistan again, so we can get the hell out?
