  1. GL did call the Ukrainian President "the coke-head of Kyiv" (so no love lost between them); probably a misogynist, "How to Prepare for Divorce" with 27K views might be a clue; definitely a controversial figure in Western Ukraine (because he did not support the current administrations position and was also accusative); while (I'm told) that taking photographs could get you arrested as a "Russian spotter", so better not. I did watch the Jake Broe piece and I thought it was disgusting: he claimed GL left Ukraine because prostitution was no longer a viable business, while GL claims he believed Ukraine wanted him out anyway; Broe claimed GL was not a journalist (many others disagree) and since Broe just repeats what the Ukrainian ministry says; he isn't himself a journalist while his patriotism for Ukraine always stuck me as rather suspicious (since he's never been there). GL lived in Ukraine; spoke the language; would know the culture... while Jake Broe doesn't (he just deals in hate). I hope you realize that it would have been straightforward for the American President to have the man, an American citizen freed (with one phone call); but according to Broe what happened is a good thing. There are plenty of cases where pneumonia is fatal; even antibiotics won't cure it; but Broe's smear tactics on the dead, I don't think there's a cure for that either (he's a real piece of work). Now he smears the Republican Party; seems to think they're "commie sympathizers"; what's wrong with him is no little thing (or he is paid as some government spokesperson). One of the two. The only reason I watch Jake Broe (occasionally) is for the next "howler"; him trying to find the next thing to throw, while since he doesn't know the difference between soft and hard currencies I see why he moved out of finance. So my condolences to GL's: friends colleagues and family and if you've nothing positive to say about your own countrymen, you should shut up!
