When I came to Russia 10 years ago. I brought all my shoes and boots and coats. That was not much and not for Russia. I love my coat and have worn it regardless of the weather and temperature. I am stubborn like that and a coat, like shoes is part of your personality. So […]
by John Stanton “Defense Contractor” is no longer a valid term for US weapons makers. References to the “military industrial complex” are agonizingly silly particularly since the man who coined the term –President Dwight Eisenhower–was as ruthless as his CIA director John Foster Dulles. According to the Miller Center at the University of Virginia, defense […]

I am going to apply to make a trip to Ukraine and see the war first hand. I am in hopes that “Windows to Russia” has enough clout to get me a expense paid trip to Ukraine and see the war torn East Ukraine. This will happen sometime at the end of March. This is […]
I spent a bunch of hours right here on this blog, demanding the illegal attack against Libya, by the west, was ended and retributions made.
