300 miles from shore with the current away in a blowup liferaft, no propulsion, no oars, no cover, no water, no radio and no life vests in shark infested waters. Hey, works for me.
Russia has been harder on militant islam in the past than any other country. They flattened Grozny to a parking lot.
Keep going guys.
mecca isn't molten glass yet.
