Oh noes! Won’t anybody have pity on the poor woman who never had any problem with being married to one of the greatest mass murderers of recent history?
From what I hear, she was no passive beneficiary, making decisions and actively participating in the regime’s crimes.
There’s thousands of people out there with cancer who can’t get the best care, or even adequate care. I hope no one is foolish enough to make her a priority
To be blunt, I struggle to muster absolutely any sympathy for the significant other of an authoritarian dictator.
After reading the article, she is in Russia. I’m sure she will receive the best care moscow has to offer, which is still better than a lot of people.
That’s true. Russia does have really good doctors - if you have money. And you have to be able to withstand yelling and belittling but as a Russian you get used to that.
A friend of mine is truggling with that. I wouldn’t have thought that Moscow’s health care was so shitty. I was for some reason expecting the opposite.
There was a great show about Russian healthcare a while back. Can’t recall the name, but it had Jon Hamm and Harry Potter in it.
what was it…138billion dollars that assad transferred to russia on the day he fled? should do.
That’s a perverted amount of money. But yeah that should do.
So it’s not like she is being denied treatment. She is being denied a specific treatment in a specific prestigious clinic in Britain. But honestly, Russians can cure cancer just as well ( - provided you have the money to pay them). Moscow has prestigious clinics and great resources. I’d much rather get treatment there than in some rural British hospital to be honest.
If he had that much money then surely he’d have been able to pay for a military to defend his position in Syria.
What is everyone having for dinner today?
I can’t eat solid food (it’s a long story that I’m sure many people are sick of), but I have Amy’s Golden Lentil dahl almost every day. I love it.
Mustard glazed pork chops and fettuccine Alfredo with spinach.
(Really, SwiftKey??)
Mustard-glazed pork chops sounds amazing. I’m gonna need an update on this one.
It’s actually really simple and easy, and glazed is a misnomer because I don’t know another word, and it works best with bone-in country style ribs. So, either salt and pepper your desired cut of pork beforehand, OR you can put the s&p in the mustard. Not sure which I prefer. Pre-heat your pan; I like cast iron. Liberally baste your pork with Dijon mustard (I have tried other varieties, and dijon works the best). Fry them up in the pan. You will lose a lot of the mustard crust to the pan, and I have not figured out a way around this. That said, the mustard caramelizes in the heat, and you get a wonderful mix of sweet and savory at just the right ratio. That’s basically it. It’s my favorite way to do Country Style ribs.
Celebrated a bday today, so I got to have Cioppino, and then Creme Brulee Crème brûlée* for dessert
Macarona bashamel (long story, but it’s good and you should try it) with a dash of dictator tears.
Awe shucks…Kudos to the UK for denying her entry.
