Isn't that Russian?

I think there's a fair chance he's going to do something to shield Philip.

No of course not! YOu don't get that high without playing the games. Another family beset by issues of morality and ethics and finding kids force different choices.

OMG…I just did too…. :D

I think we will likely learn more, but you never know.

Well I agree and would point out that guys like G Gordon Liddy and James Mccord (disgraced CIA) as examples were just the other side of the same coin.

At this point I agree that things have been changing. I never said she didn't love her kids, but that is not the same thing.

The series is based on that story, but the two sons were born in Canada and lost their Canadian Citizenship because Canadian law denies citizenship to children of foreign nationals born in Canada while in the employ of their foreign government.

"Tim the pastor. His goal is to bring people to Christ….. He thinks everybody should be Christian, period…" and that's manipulation to you whereas it seems part of religion to me, and you seem to have an issue with religion. I have plenty of encounters with aggressive dishonest and manipulative people especially…

Oleg? He's not gonna have any problem finding someone to give him a blanket.
