Just a single collision that does not do much damage will cost lots of money.

The Spanish government ought to reconsider.

Uppity?

Putin flew an orchestra out to Palmyra and they played in an ancient theater.

Putin is rubbing Obama's nose in it.

Now that is the way some people discipline dogs.

But I think Putin made a big mistake

Obama loves having his nose rubbed in it.

It was the Coliseum where ISIS staged the brutal executions of Syrian Soldiers,

"A Russian symphony orchestra led by Valery Gergiev has given a unique performance in ancient Palmyra, recently liberated from Islamic State militants. The concert was devoted to the victims of extremists, and intends to instill hope that peace can triumph over war and terrorism.
The symphony orchestra concert was titled “Praying for Palmyra - Music revives ancient ruins” and was performed in the Roman Theater of Palmyra, one of the few sites still largely intact after Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) captured the city. The venue served as the main site for the annual Palmyra festival prior to the terrorists’ rampage in the region."

Don't wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.
