Rodina stronk is all the Gay Icon of the Kremlin in interested in.

He also knows that the raw materials Russia exports will still be needed and he thinks that at some point the painful price rises sanctions will impose on world markets will become too painful.

Sweden and Finland would have to be invited to join NATO, with the unanimous agreement of all member states. Which is why he works so hard on decoupling the likes of Turkey and trying to get the Germans and the French to sit on the fence.
