This Russia stuff always make me uneasy. All the BS aside, the gold should have been out of the ground years ago. There is no rationale reason Hugo has not permitted it to happen, besides the fact that he does not want to deal with us, for whatever reason.

So the Chinese are now involved and that should help us. But the question becomes would he screw over the Chinese to work with the Russians? A rationale human being would not, but I'm not sure we are dealing with a rationale human being.

Saying that Hugo would not do anything to upset the Chinese is giving Hugo too much credit in my opinion. I'm not convinced that he is that smart. I once thought he was, but not any more.

But I guess none of it really matters. I'm in to the end and most of you seem to be too. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
