Surprised Raz went for it as he's usually wiser on bets than Yi or DG.

This is Raz' first money bet you nebbish.  :lol:

Which proves my point, he's wiser than you or DG.   :P
:huh: We can't both be unwise.  One of us has to be making a good bet.

Do you both tend to bet against each other ? 

I thought Yi offers bets more widely ?

I will send the money, though I wonder if it'll actually get there.  The last time I sent a letter it was it was to Santa Claus, and I don't think he got it either.

At this link is John McCain's response to Putin who recently had an editorial in NY Times. This is hosted on Pravda.ru website, different from and not to be confused with Pravda Newspaper which is still a mouthpiece for the Russian government. Pravda newspaper declined to print this. If you go to the link it has more about the two Pravda sites.

Wow, this really highlights just how much prestige Obama has lost to the Russians. Putin is now being published by the New York Times, while our leaders are struggling to get into Pravda.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Last week Putin put an editorial in the NY Times basically trashing on the US and pissing off many Congressmembers, Dems and Repubs. So no surprise that some are responding in kind. It was pretty big news so I figured people here would see the connection.

Al-Qaeda 'safe haven' on NATO's border:

QuoteISIS seizure of Syria's Azaz exposes rebel rifts
By Paul Wood
BBC News, on Turkey's border with Syria

The Free Syrian Army is driven out of a town on the Turkish border. Several of their men are killed, perhaps as many as 100 captured. Inside the town, there are arrests of opposition activists and citizen-journalists. Members of the Sharia court are detained.

It sounds like a description of a successful offensive by the regime. But the Free Syrian Army lost the town of Azaz to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, the most hardline group linked to al-Qaeda on the rebel side. As a measure of the grip the jihadis have in Azaz, one eyewitness inside the town said no-one was smoking on the streets - tobacco is forbidden according to strict Islamist doctrine.
