This is like bombing Afghanistan & Iraq after "Saudi hijackers" hit the twin towers and Pentagon.
Where's the proof. Er, what proof? Statesman Putin refuses to retaliate. The world is very lucky to have him running Russia. As for that cretin in the White House ... 3 weeks more is too long.
Meanwhile, the Russian Micex stockmarket bangs on another 1% to extend its run as the world's top performer for 2 years running, since the US cretins started sanctions on Russia.
Gold's got a bit of a bid & Wall St has the wobbles again.
Tough titties to the White House twits
