    Dunno really, the usual of the right wingers controlling the house doing their best to damage the economy for their political gain and the left not needing much help making mistakes. Actual economic performance vs propoganda who knows. For decades the policy has been to devalue the Peso to help exporters and reduce imports. Many visitors and analysts misunderstand that the COP always slipping is not a sign of impending doom.

  2. Thanks.

    By the way, did you find out what happened to your friend in Ukraine?

    Well one was murdered by a saboteur/collaborator, the Polish guy is home with his family now having done over six months and my old friend's son joined with the regular Ukranian forces and has experience and rank enough to be away from the front.

  4. Damn, that's tough. Ukraine is a mix of Russian and Ukrainians. I heard the girlfriend of a Ukrainian soldier was sending Ukrainian position information to Russia. This lasted for quite some time before he figured it out.

    Yes, it has significant aspects of civil war where the face of the enemy is your own. The guy helped dig his own grave by not stashing his gear in a lockup and travelling to where he was relaxing/drinking for the weekend with it. Snipers are always targets.
