I am assuming you mean if they are Jewish, right?

To be honest, not all Jews are against Russia.  It is a rather ignorant viewpoint that they are all against Russia.  A huge portion of my family is Jewish.  Apparently I am also partially Jewish (Although, I find it odd that a race is also associated with a religion when it isn't supposed to be such a way) but I am Eastern Orthodoxy Christian.  Most of us in the family are pro Russian while the rest don't care cause they have their own problems.

More like, figure out where their paychecks are coming from.

Nerve agents are organophosphate (OP) compounds and among the most powerful poisons known to man. A terrorist attack on civilian or military populations causing mass casualties is a real threat. The OP nerve agents include soman, sarin, cyclosarin, tabun and VX. The major mechanism of acute toxicity is the irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE inhibition results in the accumulation of excessive acetylcholine levels in synapses leading to progression of toxic signs including hypersecretions, tremors, status epilepticus, respiratory distress and death. Miosis and rhinorrhea are the most common clinical findings in those individuals acutely exposed to OP nerve agents. Prolonged seizures are responsible for the neuropathology. The brain region that shows the most severe damage is the amygdala followed by the piriform cortex, hippocampus, cortex, thalamus, and caudate/putamen. Current medical countermeasures are only modestly effective in attenuating the seizures and neuropathology. Anticonvulsants such as benzodiazepines decrease seizure activity and improve outcome but their efficacy depends upon the administration time post-exposure to the nerve agent. Administration of benzodiazepines may increase the risk for seizure recurrence. Recent studies document long-term neurologic and behavior deficits while technological advances demonstrate structural brain changes on magnetic resonance imaging.

Vladimir Solovyov: Are we heading for a break with the European Union ?

Foreign Minister Lavrov: We proceed from the fact that we are ready. In case we see again (as we have already felt more than once) that sanctions are imposed in some areas that create risks for our economy, including in the most sensitive areas. We do not want to isolate ourselves from world life, but we must be ready for this. If you want peace, prepare for war.
