      He needs to make up his mind. One day he's backing off, the next he is saber rattling. I think once again he's trying to shake western resolve to arm Ukraine.

                    OK, none of the translators are coming up with anything. What's a khlopchiki?

                                          @Renauda no surprise that the message has changed.

                                          But this is a nice compilation.

                                          "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
