  1. I have an acquaintance in Russia that documents graffiti (mostly for artistic quality)
  2. Add in the factor that anyone in the middle class has probably paid the bribes to stay out of the military.
  3. No need to rationalize because it’s not being reported by their sources. Anything that does report it is fake news and turning too liberal.
  4. In Trump’s mind, everyone in the world will want to buy multiple copies of the book because he is in it… that 10% is probably a billion dollars.
  5. That’s the way Trump would play it and he’s pretty good at that game. Perception is more important than reality.
  6. In the Russian-government-controls-discussion department… a Russian friend related that if the word “war” is used in communication, the communication is abruptly cut off. She is here in the states, so I don’t if that applies to general communication in Russia or just external to internal.
  7. A long time ago we took in for a few weeks an exchange student from Uzbekistan. She had Asian features but also had blue eyes and freckles. Her great-grandfather had been a Polish officer who was captured and he and his family were sent to Uzbekistan. The officer and his wife died leaving a young daughter who was sold to be a wife for a wealthy Uzbek. The daughter was the exchange student’s grandmother.
  8. The terms of the Budapest Memorandum are being misrepresented so that Biden can be blamed for not following through with American commitments.
  9. Pollo a la Brasa. Salsa Aji Verde.
  10. In case anyone wants to read another view point concerning Putin’s thinking. I’ve subscribed to Russian Life for years… they sent an email out today stating they would be suspending publication out of fear for the safety of their correspondents in Russia. https://www.russianlife.com/stories/online/why-putin-invaded-ukraine/?goal=0_2e99ba62b2-aff19223f1-191233569&mc_cid=aff19223f1&mc_eid=690e8fa84a
  11. That doesn’t describe energy independence. The United States was still connected to the world market.
  12. Poulet a la Basque
  13. Not new and quite old, going back to Tsarist Russia - Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality
  14. The Patriarch really is a lap dog for the state.
  15. Zyuganov is a clown and not taken seriously in Russia.
  16. Can’t fix stupid.
  17. Into the mind of Putin: Ivan Ilyin https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/russian-federation/2015-09-20/putins-philosopher
  18. Good advice. If you rope drop and use Genie+ you will be fine. Also, don’t go in thinking you will do everything. There is so much to do now you have to set priorities.
  19. Not only competent but the best president of their lifetime… and Biden is the worst.
  20. He was the most moderate in the primary.
  21. The worst part is we will now get Keith Self.
  22. Red Cavalry is a good read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. It’s divided like Ukraine with the Russians controlling Transnistria.
  24. Krushchev was surprised when his end came. He didn’t see it coming.
