    He is going to see Putin who is the leader of Russia so it can be said he will see Russia. Just as we say Canada is doing this or USA is doing this...He is meeting with (seeing) Russia in Alaska on Friday.

    I was screwing around in the latter 80's to pick up an album or poster at the Harvard Coop and I saw Depeche Mode and it lured me but I ended up buying Goo Goo Dolls. I also bought The Eurythmics and then Morphine "Cure". Stone Temple Pilots and then Slade.
