This photo represents what Russia COULD have been. Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny were genuine Russian patriots who fought for democracy and against corruption. Nemtsov was killed just steps from the Kremlin. Navalny died a slower death after bravely returning to Moscow.

As the US bizarrely attacks Iraq with threats of sanctions, Russia swoops in offering an air defense system along with support and solidarity. Another opportunity for Russia in the region at the expense of US unpredictability.

Wow. And in response to Jared Kushner’s dismissive commentary on NBA players “taking a night off”, That “night off” no doubt helped to bring to fruition an idea that had been in discussion. 29 arenas each with capacity to hold tens of thousands of ppl, used as voting locations.

Grieving for their son as openly as they share other experiences is a public service for families who have suffered similar losses — and outsiders trying to understand.
