    Do they not have cancer treatment centers in Russia or Iran?

      This comment leads me to believe that you haven’t had much ‘up close and personal’ experience with cancer… (Not trying to talk down to you in saying that or anything, btw, though you’re super fortunate if that’s indeed the case.)

      Just for reference: during the early 00’s I would get a bill for somewhere around $10k each month for my dad’s chemo infusions alone. This went on for at least 2 - 3 years, if memory serves, which - for those who aren’t keeping score at home - ended up totalling nearly $500k by the time he died.

      Obviously, not every treatment is created (or priced) equally, but… I think you can probably see what I’m getting at, anyway

        Maybe it’s that or maybe it’s that I was pointing out where Assad’s allies are.
