    It seems strange that the Russians are going out of their way to lay waste to the new republics that they’ve recognised, and making all the ethnic Russians homeless. Methinks Putin didn’t give a hoot about the ethnic Russians in the first place. He certainly is an overly large part of the body that excretes faecal matter, there’s no question.
