Been so busy and so much to see. Really neat country, called Ajman…
The hotel is perfect, the food is too good and we swim and walk constantly….well we seem to eat constantly also…

This is what we woke up to…
Upgraded room free, friendliness abundant, long walk amongst the locals and food perfection….sigh, Why can’t we be rich and live this life permanently?
Guess what?
I left the computer that I spent hours updating and charging up, at home…
So I post from phone…. Sweetie took it good and I did not get beat up. 😉
Gotta go swim…

It is really sad about how pathetic our government has become in the USA. When you see propaganda such as this article below. You realize to what extent we will go to condemn the innocent and will do it even if we cull ourselves in the process. What drives this desire to glean information from sluices full of rot?
WASHINGTON – Russian efforts to weaken the West through a relentless campaign of information warfare may be starting to pay off, cracking a key bastion of the U.S. line of defense: the military.
While most Americans still see Moscow as a key U.S. adversary, new polling suggests that view is changing, most notably among the households of military members.
The second annual Reagan National Defense Survey, completed in late October, found nearly half of armed services households questioned, 46%, said they viewed Russia as ally.
Overall, the survey found 28% of Americans identified Russia as an ally, up from 19% the previous year.

I like this quote:
Many are stubborn in pursuit of the path they have chosen, few in pursuit of the goal. – Friedrich Nietzsche
It seems that the path America has chosen has no goal at the end. If it has a goal, that goal does not include harmony and peace in the world and therefore, that path has no goal to suit the world…
But we seem to be very stubborn in following a path that has our destruction included within its framework…

Africom Confirms Russian Air Defense System Shot Down US Drone Over Libyan Capital:
Townsend also said Russia’s increasing presence in Oil-rich Libya had alarmed Africom. “This highlights the malign influence of Russian mercenaries acting to influence the outcome of the civil war in Libya, and who are directly responsible for the recent and sharp increase in fighting, casualties and destruction around Tripoli,” Townsend said.Libya was thrown into civil war nearly a decade ago when NATO forces overthrew Moammar Gadhafi. It’s been another great blunder for Western military forces

Russians savour traveling to warm climates and recharging their batteries. This has become part of my life when I came to Russia to live. Russians simply love to travel and they are lucky, it is dirt cheap to travel from Moscow to much of the world…

What you gonna do when Putin come for you? ~
I bet Putin wakes up each day and grabs his popcorn and morning drink to sip and sit backs and looks at what part of the world he is destroying…
Putin is the man…
WASHINGTON — House Democrats are bringing the impeachment focus back to Russia as they draft formal charges against President Donald Trump.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is connecting the dots — “all roads lead to Putin,” she says — and making the argument that Trump’s pressure campaign on Ukraine was not an isolated incident but part of a troubling bond with the Russian president reaching back to special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings on the 2016 election.
“This has been going on for 2 1/2 years,” Pelosi said.
“This isn’t about Ukraine. It’s about Russia. Who benefited by our withholding of that military assistance? Russia.”

Seriously, Putin has got to be the baddest dude on earth…
I mean hell, there are a bunch of roads in the world. 😉
What with all the damage that he does to America and several other countries, by just getting up each day!
I bet it would be a blast having breakfast with Putin and being able to hash over what kinda unsavoury things to cause America to cry about today…
If you (* enter name here whom must cover their tracks *) have no point to prove and or want people to look over there, just mention Russia, this is a song sung by the brainless and is getting banal now!
It be nothing to write home about, but it does go good in a blog about Russia…

If most cars were Electric Vehicles (EV) today, and gasoline (benzine) cars were the “new thing”, all our useful twits would brag about having gasoline cars and saving the planet. – Me

No internal passport, just external passports…
Justa Thinking Today…
This has been an issue and it looks like Russia has finally getting ready to stop the flow of non-international passport holding Ukrainians. Or at least check them out better, before they allow them to just waltz into Russia with ease. Ukraine has been literally terrorizing Russians for years now on the border crossings. I know I have been there and watched how Ukraine treats the Russians. Russia was not and has not been rude in this aspect…
I am glad to see so work by Russia in treating Ukrainians along the line that Ukraine treats the Russians. It may not seem like much, but Ukrainians have been basically never checked, hardly at all, to cross into Russia. This has and is causing some issues…
KIEV, December 5. /TASS/. The Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers plans to bar Ukrainian citizens from crossing the Russian border on their domestic passport starting from March 1, 2020, Director of the Consular Service Department of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Sergei Pogoreltsev said in a comment to the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN.
“The government is going to terminate the possibility of crossing the border with the Russian Federation for Ukrainian citizens on their domestic Ukrainian passports and birth certificates,” he said.
Pogoreltsev said that the draft resolution by the Cabinet of Ministers stipulated the suspension of the provisions of the agreements with Russia as of 1997 and 2011, which allowed border crossings without presenting a foreign travel passport. This initiative is attributed to the fact that the simplified order for crossing the border with Russia by Ukrainian citizens allegedly “poses a threat to Ukraine’s state security.”
He added that Ukrainians staying in Russia could apply for a foreign passport in the embassy and consular missions of Ukraine. “Currently more than 4,000 Ukrainian citizens already used this right and received [their] biometric foreign travel passports at our facilities on Russian soil,” he added.
Starting from March 1, 2015, Kiev banned Russian citizens from entering Ukrainian territory on their domestic Russian passports “for security concerns.” Since then, Russians can entry Ukraine only upon presenting a foreign travel passport. Still, Russia did not respond to this move in kind, and Ukrainian citizens may enter Russian territory on their domestic passports.

Almost all of the old Soviet countries have never had to have a International Passport, just the Internal Passport was required to enter Russia. This has been a pet peeve of mine since I came to Russia 13 + years ago…
Did not seem fair that all these countries lying about and sending trouble to Russia, had a free entrance accessibility. Many times I have watched people cross into Russia and they only had a birth certificate and some other papers and still entered Russia…
In March of 2019 I did a border crossing by train… (Just read what happened.)
I hope Russia does not do what Ukraine does to the Russians at the border, but I feel that having better ID and biometric safety in the passport is a necessity…
As Svetochka says, “That is just right!”

PS: Sveta has to make sure she carries her International Passport when we travel to another country, even if we travel to Ukraine. They will not let her cross otherwise…
Why is there always a new and or regurgitated enemy, NATO?
Long been on the preferred hated list by NATO, Russia and quiet a few countries, now have a new member. China is being added to the list of nasty, bad and despicable countries that NATO “must” keep an eye on…
Yippie yi yo ki yay…
NATO (a by-product) of the Western Empire and a couple of Lap Dogs, are losing sleep and now China has been added as a new threat to NATO…
This is the cut and pasted type of response a dying Empire would do….after such an important happening such as the article below…
Russia has launched Natural Gas deliveries to China (Power of Siberia Pipeline)
Surprised?
Not hardly and it will get much worse before it gets better. For you see, NATO is the strong arm of the Western Empire and it has become the largest terrorist organization in the world…
Western Empire, just go die in the corner already and stop the crap!

Grab a cup of coffee and a box of popcorn and lets watch…
Our path is set and changing it will not supervene until something comes along that finally makes the populace of the world realize how badly we have been duped into a facade of containment and lethargy. The pendulum I talk about has much farther to swing and I have decided to eat popcorn and watch it as it swings toward the peak of its amplitude its oscillation is unstoppable…
Therefore, as much as we are unable to stop the swing, the peak signifies the beginning of the return to what was and then to swing way too far the other way…
We are entering (actually have entered) the stage I call the crazy demented and we are embracing it…
Technology is the tool that is being used to spread the dementia…
Actually popcorn and a cup of coffee go together pretty good…
