If Russia lost Sevastopol it would have no timely access to the ME/Med..again it's of utmost strategic importance

Sokay, SPRAYIT. Just tell yourself how "groan"ing everything I say is some really vicious impotence, you mean Mean Girl, you. I've noticed that an excessive use of "groans" is a sure-fire way to find the weak gnats here.
Consider the combination of impotence, stupidity, and lack of pride behind ChlamydiaBear "Groan"ing this and most everything I say.
Half way through my first little tub of hummus I bought a week and a half ago. I like it, I guess. Not enough to buy any more, though. Seems more fashionable than actually tasty.
Thought I'd leave you with something deep tonight.
Okay, any more points or ankle-gummings gotta come quick. It is almost time for the DBacks to go up against the real Great Satan, the La La Dodgers.
