Year: 2018

I have not felt well and now needed to get some antibiotics…

Amoxicillin/Clavulanate to be exact…

Started yesterday and today, everything is breaking up and I am coughing, gagging, blowing my nose and feeling better already. I have harbored this issue for weeks now and nothing helped. This finally kicked its ass… (and me for a day or so!)

Now I just have to remember to take the weeks worth of medicine and keep from relapsing…

Why do I always get amazed?

Antibiotics and no prescription needed. When you go from such a controlled society and enter a much more open and free society, you may never get over the changes that appear daily in your life…

People demand big flamboyant freedoms and ignore all the little freedoms that make life worth living everyday…

I simply find it amazing that I can control so much more of my life in Russia. It is my choice and my responsibility to make decisions based on what I learn and need to survive. The control through excess government, costs, regulations and society pressures are very thin in their existence as I traipse the country. The decisions are mine and the results are mine to fail and or win with…

I call that freedom…

I find it humorous, but I see tons of crash control at work with the trolls…

Maybe we need some coins showing cargo ships smashing into American warships?

WASHINGTON — Two deadly collisions between high-tech destroyers and easy-to-spot, slow-moving cargo ships in a little over two months have stunned many in the Navy and sent top leaders scrambling for answers.

Excuses, excuses and more excuses…

Gotta love that Russian humor…

I give the sad face above in the tweet a 9 out of 10… 😉

Looks like he got tickets and now trying to get a flight back to Moscow. His dad is feeling sick and the boy is coming alone…

This kid has broken all the rules of the western world and loves Russia and her people…

His videos are great and he has made like 50 videos in twenty days about football, Russia and her people…

This is the PR that Russia needs and Russia has stepped forward is is helping the kid, МИД России is following what he is doing…

Watch this video. They crush the lies in the western world…

Life is good…

PS: One of you Russian Billionaires living in the UK, fly the boy here to Russia…

In 2013 I talked about:

BRICS Bank is happening, This is good news…

Since then the BRICS have been under massive illegal financial attack by the west….It is now 2018 and the BRICS have survived and growing. Brazil was beat to death, Russia has been sanctioned to the ends of the earth and China, South Africa and India are feeling the pressure of hate and molestation from the west, even as you read this….BUT…

The future has still gone east…

The news that China’s GDP growth in 2017 was 6.9 per cent as opposed to the government target of 6.5 per cent and the January 2017 international Monetary Fund (IMF) projection of 6.5 per cent is merely the latest in a sequence of economic data releases that has pushed economists to play catch-up with economic reality.China is also not the only BRICS member county to see economic data exceed expectations.Brazil has surprised by how robust its economy has performed despite the ongoing corruption allegations and the stalled political reform agenda.Russia has exceeded expectations both in terms of growth and low inflation, while India has started to recover from the high-denomination rupee withdrawal of November 2016. South Africa has recently seen accelerating growth after a slow first half.

Another powerhouse within the same east framework… Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)

BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhua) — The upcoming 18th summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in the eastern Chinese city of Qingdao has come under the global spotlight as it carries special significance.Scheduled for June 9-10, the summit will witness the gathering of leaders of SCO member states and observer states, as well as heads of international organizations in Qingdao, Shandong Province.FIRST SUMMIT AFTER EXPANSIONIt will be the first SCO summit after India and Pakistan were accepted as full members in June 2017 at the Astana summit in Kazakhstan.After the expansion, the eight full members of the SCO are China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The SCO also has four observer states and six dialogue partners.

SCO is a powerhouse and all you have to do is look at who many of the members are and then look at BRICS and see who the members are…

Contrary to what mush is spewed from mouths of the experts western news sections, time is marching on and BRICS and the SCO are steadily marching into the future….the west throws monkey wrenches, but it does not halt the forward momentum…

First Cuba fried American minds in the Embassy world…. Now China is frying American Embassy workers minds…

And, as Russia are saying, thinking and laughing about…. I suspect soon that Russia will be frying the minds of American in the Embassy and or anywhere that they can. For it is the thing to do…

Oh my! Popular Mechanics says…

There are two reasons State is paranoid about missing future attacks. For one thing, the attack in China has led to real fear of either a wider plot by a foreign power (many say Russia) or the rise of copycats who see a way to hurt and terrorize U.S. diplomats with impunity.

Mark my words, soon Russia will be blamed for sonic attacks also… (evil evil evil)

I just wonder if Americans are not fried mentally anyway? Seriously, not a joke. Are we mental?

I know, build a Trump Wall, lock the gate and toss the key in the ocean…

And you will understand it was Russia that called America out about this…

The U.S. shocked the world — again — with its opposition to an international resolution encouraging mothers to breastfeed their infants, in a move to back corporate formula producers pic.twitter.com/EZupXKW9Wh

Then I went from the Twitter world and looked around and it is true…

The United States threatened to hit Ecuador with retaliatory trade measures and pull military aid because the South American country is proposing an international resolution that encourages breastfeeding. The US eventually agreed to the resolution — when Russia backed it. American officials surprised international delegates at the United Nations-affiliated World Health Assembly in May when they opposed a widely popular resolution to promote breastfeeding, according to a Sunday report……

Excuse me! We did what to Ecuador?

What the hell is wrong with America?

An Ecuadorian official added, “We were shocked because we didn’t understand how such a small matter like breastfeeding could provoke such a dramatic response.” U.S. opposition to the resolution ended, however, when Russia introduced the measure. Officials from the U.S. did not challenge Russia despite threatening Ecuador for introducing the same measure. “We feel that it is wrong when a big country tries to push around some very small countries,” a Russian delegate told the Times of Russia’s decision to introduce the resolution.

All that is wrong is laid open in this simple issue. From money worshiping corporations to lackadaisical mentality of the peasants, to everything in between….yes that means from the top to the bottom, we are all at fault…

Mamma’s milk is best and formula should be for those who can simply not make that work….not the other way around…

After the big dude above gave his approval, we went for a walk…

Then we found our happy plant at home…

Walked for hours and had to hide from the storm. We found a little store and bought a treat and a drink. Then we sat on a covered bench and watched the rain. It was nice…

Svetochka and I like to sneak around and we hunt for the holes in all the fences. Like all good Russians we like to go where we are not wanted… 😉

Found a beautiful lake, behind a huge razor wired fence…

I had a anxious sweet pea watching the Russians play Croatia…

As with Spain and Russia playing, it was a good game and could have gone either way at the end. As a team Russia played excellent and so did Croatia….but when it came to individual performances at the very end. Russia faltered…

I always say, “Someone has to lose and you will be the one if you blink!”

Croatia simply had the will and guts to the end…

Russian fans have never been as proud of @TeamRussia🇷🇺 as they are today!
Congrats #CRO and good luck!

Someone has to lose and that is just right…but I have to say, I am proud of Russia for going farther than everyone, including the Russians, expected…

Now I have a grouchy sweet pea…

PS: Now it is time to support Croatia…

Moscow has been ranked fifth in the world for the quality of education after Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Helsinki and Tokyo, according to Bain & Company, a global management consulting firm that has analysed changes in Moscow’s education system between 2010 and 2017 and compared it to 20 other megacities. Its conclusions have been presented in a report titled Education in Moscow: Improving Effectiveness amid Global Changes.
