Windows to Russia

My local news just had this on last night. China and Russia announced that they will be weaning themselves off of the dollar for international transactions. This is horrible economic news. This will force a repatriation of dollars to the USA and thereby expand the domestic money supply. With the Fed’s QE2 policy already in place, the inflationary contribution of these repatriated dollars will be significant. I now have harbored feelings of hostility toward Russia and China because a rock slide usually starts by one rock at he top. I also feel that the US is going to be at the bottom of the rock slide! Why are they doing this to us?

A five year old won the competition of naming Putin’s dog.

Five-year-old Dima Sokolov and his parents were invited to Putin’s residence in Novo-Ogarevo, where the prime minister introduced Dima and Buffy to each other…

Buffy is the dogs new name…

MOSCOW, December 9. Itar-Tass. Putin suggested that U.S. critics of Russian democracy “do not moo, and be silent” in connection with the persecution of the founder of Vikiliksa Juliana Assandzha and its website. He said this to journalists after the fifteenth meeting of the Russian-French commission on bilateral cooperation at the level of Heads of Government.

“With regard to the information that the site known” Wikiliks. “And what do you yourself think that the American diplomatic service – it is crystal clear source of information?” You think so? “, – Putin said at a question about his attitude to the scandal surrounding the activities of the site and its consequences. – Second, regarding democracy. But if democracy, then the full. Why did Mr Assandzha put away in jail? “Is that democracy? So we know, in the village so they say: Look who’s talking, but yours would be silent . So I want our American colleagues to send a feedback puck. ” ITAR-TASS.

МОСКВА, 9 декабря. /ПРАЙМ-ТАСС/. Путин предложил американским критикам российской демократии “не мычать, а молчать” в связи с преследованием основателя “Викиликса” Джулиана Ассанджа и его сайта. Об этом он заявил журналистам по окончании пятнадцатого заседания Российско-французской комиссии по вопросам двустороннего сотрудничества на уровне глав правительств.

“Что касается той информации, которая на сайте известном “Викиликс”. А вы что сами считаете, что американская дипломатическая служба – это кристально чистый источник информации? Вы так думаете?, – сказал Путин на вопрос о его отношении к скандалу вокруг деятельности сайта и его последствиям. – Второе, по поводу демократии. Но если демократия, тогда полная. Зачем же господина Ассанджа в тюрьму упрятали? Это что демократия? Так что у нас, знаете, в деревне так говорят: чья бы корова мычала, а ваша бы молчала. Вот я хочу нашим американским коллегам послать ответную шайбу”. Об этом сообщает ИТАР-ТАСС.

I just had to try this and see if you would really let me post something. I still remember when you banned me from the site. WB

The letter was written by the Republicans and contains quite tough remarks regarding the coming discussion of the US-Russian strategic arms reduction treaty (START) in the Senate. Here is an extract from the letter: “We are troubled by the Administration’s push to ratify the New START Treaty amid outstanding concerns regarding Russian intentions, missile defense limitations and nuclear modernization… We believe the Senate should not be rushed in its deliberations. Therefore, we urge the Senate not to vote on the new START Treaty in the lame duck congressional session.” 

Two more quotes:

“We reject the notion that Russia can set terms for our missile defenses”

“The outcome of the treaty will undoubtedly impact national security policy”.

The rest of the letter that I have not been able to find is along the same words. I thought that mayby you would like to see this because it is not widespread. You have not said anything yet. So it looks worse as we get to the month to see START finished. It is no longer stupid commies but now stupid Yanks! Hope I did it all right!

WB

You can do what you want if you don’t like it erase it. It took me two attempts to get it like you would do it. I want to post a picture though!

I have been watching for this news because a few weeks ago I heard a rumor that it was going to be possible to travel to Kiev and back without stopping at the border…

Interfax-Ukraine: Passenger trains No. 1 and No. 2 on the Kyiv-Moscow route could run without stopping at the border from the end of this year.

The holding of such an experiment was supported by border guards, customs officers and railway workers who discussed these issues at an interagency meeting at the administration of the State Border Service of Ukraine on Dec. 7.

“The mentioned trains will be given the green light at least on Ukrainian territory, because the Russian side has not yet given a definitive answer regarding the start of the innovation in Russia,” the press office of the State Border Service reported.

So maybe by my next visa run in January. I can get to try out the non stop Kiev run. I almost always end up on #1 train 90% of the time… 🙂

Come On Russia…

Russia and China have long been separated by countries such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia. As America is going to withdrawl from Afghanistan, numerous countries are going to contend to fill the power vacancy in Central Asia. Russia’s goal is to gain security cooperation with China through the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), and thus, overpower the influence of NATO in the area. Although both Russia and China have different goals- China wants to weaken America’s “overbearing strategy of encirclement and suffocation”, and Russia wants to maintain its political influence in Central Asia- the SCO may be beneficial to both countries. If Russia and China unite through this organization, they can work together to prevent U.S. missiles from being stationed there. Even though Russia’s economy is one-fourth that of China’s, it is in its best interest to “make friends with the big beasts”. Even though Russia and China have been frightened of the U.S. in the past, uniting may just be enough to curb that fear and gain lasting global influence.

Thank You for allowing me to post!

The snow is falling thick as thieves and my morning cup of coffee is really good. As I sipped the delightful beverage. I was thinking about a couple of e-mails I received last night. Two good readers sent me some links, that led to interesting articles…

First one: (Link) It seems that China, Afghanistan, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Sudan, Tunisia, Ukraine, Venezuela and Vietnam so far have declined attending the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremonies…

It seems that China was pissed off by the Nobel committee’s choice of Mr. Liu, who is in prison in China.  The Nobel prize will not be handed over because no one is around to receive it…

So for whatever good reasons they think that they have, for giving it to Mr. Liu means “jack squat” to me because the Nobel Peace prize has become a joke since Obama was given one last year…

So I found it interesting that Russia is amongst the countries that will not go and China will have its own award…

Second one: (Link) President Dmitry Medvedev had asked officials last December to modernism Russia’s electronic payment system and come up with a home-grown version of the western model. Base it out of Russia…

A state department cable just released this by WikiLeaks reveals that US diplomats have intervened to try to amend a draft law going through Russia’s duma, or lower house of parliament. Their explicit aim was to ensure the new law did not “disadvantage” the two US companies because Russia is a huge account and they do not want Russia to have their own Master Card / Visa or similar set up by themselves…

Russia better do its own thing and keep American politics out of the duma…

But from what I am starting to see. There is a serious rift developing between East and West. It looks like many countries that have ridden the fence for decades are going to have to choose a side in the future…

Hummm interesting issues going on right now…

Well it is official we have threatened North Korea with annihilation over something that South Korea started…

South Korea will attack North Korean military bases in case of new provocation by Pyongyang. This statement was made by the US and South Korean military commanders during their talks in Seoul… Read More >>>

Seems an interesting situation has arisen from all this and we just cocked the gun to start a war…

Also the Western press is alight with the fact that North Korea has been firing big guns off on their own territory… (And Chicken Little is running around screaming the sky is falling also…)

North Korea military drills are destabilizing region, says US… What? Who has the giant Carrier floating off of North and South Korea with an armada of ships to make play time with? First two guesses do not count…

What also has been conveniently left out of the Western press, that the Eastern press has remembered, is that South Korea instigated this whole affair with the off balanced North…

Back on the 24th of November:

Russia blames South Korean increased military activity for latest escalation

Interfax in Russian

11/24/10

Delhi – The escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula is the result of increased military activity in the region on the part of South Korea and its partners, Vladimir Nazarov, deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council, said in Delhi on Wednesday [24 November].

“The latest escalation of tension [between the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, North Korea) and the Republic of Korea – Interfax] is particularly alarming. At the same time it is the logical conclusion of the increased military activity of South Korea and its partners,” he stressed. [Passage omitted]

Nazarov, who is in Delhi for consultations with the Indian side on Security Council matters, stressed that “Russia and India are very concerned by the escalation of the situation on the Korean peninsula”.

“This conflict could grow into a serious confrontation which would be a threat to peace and security,” he said.

According to Nazarov, the particular threat is posed by the fact that “both sides possess nuclear weapons – the US tactical nuclear weapons deployed at South Korean bases and North Korea’s nuclear weapons which have already been tested twice”.

“The international community should call for restraint on both sides. A new escalation of military activity, including military-training manoeuvrings, should not be allowed – this is a dangerous path. What has happened confirms what we have been talking about for quite a long time and what we have warned some of our partners about,” the deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council said.

He said the situation on the Korean peninsula had been the most important topic discussed at the talks he had held in Delhi. According to Nazarov, the talks had been held as part of preparations for a visit by the Russian president to Delhi in December.

I certainly do not think this whole issue was justifiable by either side. But I do believe it is a common reaction on the part of an off balanced government (which is what the rulers of North Korea are) that they will shoot back at somebody shooting into their yard even if it is not at their house. So saying “We were just shooting into the sea, we didn’t hit anybody” is a pretty stupid excuse. Inciting North Korea to shoot at you is stupid. It makes me wonder who is the real lunatic in all this situation is…

The North Koreans may have over-reacted and they did, but it was only responding to a bunch of aggressors shooting big guns into their particular maritime territory…

So be it right or wrong. We need to defuse the situation not load the gun. We need to quit playing games. I known a lot of people from the Korea’s and they are wonderful individuals. I would hate to see North and South become a nuclear waste land…

This all reminds me of the stupid situation against Russia when Georgia decided to blow the hell out of South Ossetia. Then the Western press went crazy and pointed at evil bad Russia for an eternity. Then we find out it was all lies…

Now America is pressuring China to corral North Korea. But China knows that they did not start this ordeal…

Think that I am talking out of line? Just look at the bull in links below. The press is spouting war and if it doesn’t happen at this point it will only be because North Korea is smart and saner that we give them credit for. It will not be because America and South Korea tried to defuse it. Because they have not tried…

This is one issue that everyone better take serious. China and Russia do, but it seems that rest of us are stuck in the La La Land of hate evil North Korea…

Remember the sinking of the Cheonan…

http://windowstorussia.com/could-it-be-that-north-korea-did-not-sink-the-cheonan.html

They did not do that either. That was proven and everyone went home…

You would think that something like a chicken would not be worth getting upset over. Well if the chicken was raised correctly. It would be OK…

While the door has been opened back for American chicken. This is the type of headline news that America does not need in their battle to keep chicken back in Russia…

From what all the news sources are saying, This chicken was mislabeled and was an attempt to get chicken that does not meet the standards set up between Russia and America, across the border…

Now whether this is true or not really does not mean a whole hill of beans to anyone in Russia. The fact is that they really do not want American chicken here. So they (Russia) will be watching very carefully what America sends as a chicken product. It is already well know that America will send trash and call it chicken. Russia has been a well known chicken dumping ground until the last year…

Now that American chicken is back in the stores you have to be careful what you buy. If the store repackages it and cuts it up themselves. You may get more than you bargained for…

An example is that a few weeks ago I purchased some chicken backs to make a soup with. When I got home and started to use them. I realized that they were not the regular backs that I get normally. They were so fat covered and very little meat. I made a trip back to the store and checked out what they had for chicken. Yes they had American chicken, priced the same as Russian chicken and repackaged / relabeled to help cover up the fact…

And No I will not shut up about lousy American chicken being sold here in Russia. Of all the wonderful things that America could send and sell to Russia. It has to be Antibiotic filled, water injected, Fatty Chicken…

Preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics and other antimicrobial will require changes in all major areas of use: human medicine, veterinary medicine, and agriculture. But agricultural uses deserve special attention, since they account for 70 percent of the antibiotics and related drugs used in the United States, and since they provide resistant bacteria with a direct route into people’s kitchens… Read More >>>

Say What? 70% of the total antibiotic use and there is a lot of antibiotics used in America…
