We ain't stupid ya know!
If this is accurate......ouch Vladimir!
Ah common, that must be a coincidence.
I believe the Russian story.. you know, that these two guys who look like assassins are just harmless tourists, you know, looking at the old architecture of that town... that's what Russians are famous for.. interested in architecture and being tourists. Not poisoning other people. Common now..
Conspiracy theorists (on either side of the barricade) are notorious for their supernatural ability to spot similarities between human faces.
