The USA is now focused on China and they have much less time to irritate and tell lies about Russia. Now the US is too busy telling lies about China…
Now I realize that sooner or later the US will be back to Russia, but China is getting a taste of the modern day Empire collapsing and its ignorance of existence…
It is sad to watch the rotation of aggression at certain countries…. Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, North Korea and many more, including so called allies…
But now Russia is gathering its wits and waiting for the next, “Stupid Attack” from the US…
This is what becomes of befriending someone and treating them with respect. Nikolai was almost old enough to be my dad and I treated him as such. Always treat your elders with respect…
It was a hard thing to get the paperwork done and I realize that many people just throw their hands in the air and say, “Who Cares!”
The Tiny Russian Village is so wonderful and we have so much to do. But first I want to talk about our new addition to Sammy the Volga and it really works perfect…
Speed trap on our way to the village. There are signs that go from 90 kph to 70 kph to 50 kph all in a row and just about two meters apart. It is a real speed trap and the radar gun is hidden behind the 50 kph sign area. Thu the gun is hidden behind all the signs as they are one after another and each sign is hidden by the first sign…
Then this escapade prompted us to get a radar detector from AliExpress…
Oh boy it works and when we reached the area of the crime, almost two kilometers before we got there, our detector was screaming bloody murder…
One thing we found out, there are about two trillion cameras with radar in the huge Moscow area. Okay so I over exaggerated a tiny bit. Maybe just two billion….Okay there is a bunch of cameras until we cross the the Moscow region border area. Then it gets sane again and we could travel in bliss and quiet…
The farther from Moscow we got, the less cameras and finally even in small towns, no cameras. What we did find was cops with speed guns, but that is a different thing to being caught by a camera hiding in the bushes and under a bridge….just look for the cops hiding in the bushes and under the bridges…
Svetochka and I played with the radar detector and really had a blast with it…
We also have a new camera recording both the front and rear of our car as we drive and that is a good safety feature on the roads of crazy Russian drivers. We even got to test out the emergency video system, when I slammed on the brakes to keep away from a crazy Russian driver, the device started in special mode to record a possible accident. Nice device and a necessity in Russia…
Russians really suck at driving…
Okay…
The pear trees bloomed, the white lilacs are growing, the pine tree is happy, the chestnut is alive, the homes are still standing, but the rose has died. I kinda thought it would if I was not around to care and love it…
We have tons to do and that includes, mow two yards of grass, repair two yards of fences, repair two yards of trees and plants with winter damage and check the two homes for winter damage…
We just spent the night in Sveta’s village home (original) and we will stay there when together in the village. I will stay at our new place and work on it when I am alone…
Where to complain if the hot water is turned off for more than 14 days:
Летнее отключение горячего водоснабжения на две недели – давняя традиция коммунальных служб, которая заставляет россиян вооружаться тазиками, ковшами, чайниками и кипятильниками. Но что делать, если горячей воды нет уже более 14 дней? В вопросе разбиралась корреспондент «РИАМО в Королеве».
The summer off of hot water for two weeks is a long tradition of public utilities, which forces Russians to arm themselves with basins, ladles, kettles and boilers. But what if there is no hot water for more than 14 days? The correspondent of “RIAMO in Korolev” understood the question…
Thus, if there is no hot water for more than two weeks, then you can write complaints to various authorities, referring to Federal Law No. 416-ФЗ dated December 7, 2011, Government Decree No. 354 dated May 6, 2011 and SanPiN 2.1.4.2496- 09 (paragraph 3.1.11).
But….if you get testy enough about it….follow the rules and make a big fat complaint…
We have to deal with it around the end of July or so…
Two weeks with no hot water! I guess I need to go to the village? Wait, they hardly have any water at all…
Sounds good to me…

PS: Poll by topic in image below from website above…
How do you experience the shutdown of hot water?
The old-fashioned way: saucepans, basins, immersion boilers – 46%
I go to visit relatives and friends – 6%
I have a instant hot water tank installed – 26%
I take a shower in a fitness club – 7%
I go to the sauna – 10%
I am tough and take a cold shower – 5%
“We urge Russia to work with us to change the trajectory of the relationship for the benefit of both nations,” asks Pompeo…
“Today’s meetings were a positive step forward,” Pompeo said via Twitter on Tuesday. “US and Russia have demonstrated in the past that we can cooperate on key international issues. We urge Russia to work with us to change the trajectory of the relationship for the benefit of both nations.”
Oops sorry, we lied about wanting to work together. I guess we will sanction you again and again and again…
The US Treasury Department announced the sanctions days after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited the Russian city of Sochi and held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and President Vladimir Putin.
Yes Russia, the USA is two faced and never in a million years trust worthy…
Russia as an American I will give you a hint; the US Gov will turncoat and cut their own peoples throats. Do you seriously thing that they will treat people from other countries, much less other countries, better?
Checking out my rebuilt s7 Edge phone and the camera in it. Bad update destroyed it and after much salvaging, I am back on the original ROM….updates are not always good…
I just love the fact that almost all brooms you see being used in Moscow are branches and handles. Home made as I call them. Usually the handle is from a regular broom bought at the store and once that wears out they use the handle and rebuild the broom a thousand times. Plenty of twigs/limbs and plenty of handles…
#1 broom in Russia – Home Made…
I stay as far away from treats as I can. But, when Svetochka goes to her mom’s, she always munches treats. She is good around me for I am diabetic, but her mother loves her treats and tea and Russians in general, get very grouchy if they have to sip a tea with no treat…
The USA, NSA, CIA, Pentagon, MIC, MSM. . . etc, has de rigueur by force if necessary, every western tech company to install backdoor and malwares on their equipment (exemplar – iPhone,) except Huawei…
The US and other three letter demons, tried to force Huawei to install those NSA backdoor and malwares, in 2014, but the company categorically refused. That set up what you see happening now…
The NSA’s global spy operation may seem unstoppable, but there’s at least one target that has proven to be a formidable obstacle: the Chinese communications technology firm Huawei, whose growth could threaten the agency’s much-publicized digital spying powers.
Nothing has changed since a 2014 report from The Register that Huawei categorically refuses to install a USA backdoor into their hardware to allow unfettered intelligence access to the data that crosses their networks…
Chinese hardware manufacturer Huawei says allegations it provides backdoors for espionage in its kit remain unproven and would be “commercial suicide”. “The hypothetical – that our equipment could be used for espionage by the Chinese government – has never been proven,” spokesman Scott Sykes told press at the company’s annual global analyst event in Shenzen this week. “If it were ever proven, we would lose 65 per cent of our business overnight. That would be corporate suicide.”
All our emails, text messages, phone calls, internet searches, web browsing, library records, . . . etc, are recorded and stored by the USA’s vast server storage farms. Every second, minute, everyday and non-stop endlessly…
The secretive spy agency, the National Security Agency (NSA), has greatly expanded it’s footprint within the United States over these past years. Especially in their apparent efforts of massive collection of electronic data. The following is a list of known NSA locations within the United States, acquired from publicly available sources of information…
Now the crux of the matter in question, Huawei is not only the leading 5G wireless provider, but it is the only one, capable to do so far. The other companies like Nokia and Ericsson are far behind, as in many years…
5G is going to completely replace 4G and 3G. It is about 200 times faster than 4GLTE, in download speed…
In a statement to CNBC on Thursday, Huawei said that further moves to block it from the U.S. market could have a damaging impact on America’s 5G development. “Huawei is the unparalleled leader in 5G. We are ready and willing to engage with the US government and come up with effective measures to ensure product security,” a spokesperson for the company told CNBC. “Restricting Huawei from doing business in the US will not make the US more secure or stronger; instead, this will only serve to limit the US
NANJING, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) — Southeast University in eastern China’s Jiangsu Province said Thursday that a team has begun to research 6G mobile networks.You Xiaohu, a professor with the university and the team leader, said they have set sights on the early research and development of 6G mobile networks, based on the 5G technologies.You said that compared with 5G technologies, 6G will cover a wider range of fields with higher speed and greater security. The early research and development will mainly focus on intelligent mobile communications, massive wireless communications, millimeter wave/submillimeter wave wireless communications, optical wireless communications and broadband satellite mobile communications.”There’s still a long way to go in applying 6G technologies into our daily life. Experts predict that 6G technologies will go into commercial operation by 2030. However, the 6G competition has already begun among many enterprises,” You said.
What this means is that if the world adopts the Huawei equipment and standards, it will threaten the vast global surveillance network of the US….because Huawei lacks the backdoor to watch you, by the “US of A”….this is compounded, as the Chinese are already way ahead of the rest of the world going toward 6G and beyond…
This is what really terrifies the US. Their vast Global Surveillance Network is the basis of its power, and tools to do what it does behind our backs…
But all this above is just the denouement, because the real reason the US is going bonkers over Huawei is…
As good Chinese online friend of mine says, “Why would we steal tech from the USA? They are at least five years plus behind us now!”
That my friend is the real reason that we are seeing just another form of Crazy Americanism going full tilt half-arsed backwards…
How about less war and more real life promoting advancement?
Petunias growing….success in germinating last years seeds…

Svetochka at the grandkids home today. Her and little Ernie like to walk and walk and walk….Mom and Dad have to see the doctor about the new little one on its way. I am getting hints that it just may be a girl. Maybe we will know after today?
Next year I want to get little Ernie at the Tiny Russian Village…
There are things to teach him…
