Also going to be bitter cold for the next few days. Talking about getting down in the -30’s C and that will be no fun for Muscovite’s. Moscow is balmy compared to the Tiny Russian Village at winter time…

Update: So I took the test and am okay. But still running a 37.5 fever and feel like poop…
One line at top (C) okay. If line appears top and bottom (C & T)? Not okay!
It is called having tools to work with to help when times get rough…
MOSCOW, December 17. /TASS/. The Bank of Russia raised its key rate for the seventh time in a row, this time by 1 percentage point to 8.5% per annum, the regulator reported following a meeting of the Board of Directors.
The current federal reserve interest rate, or federal funds rate, is 0% to 0.25% as of March 16, 2020. The federal reserve ordered two emergency decreases to the benchmark interest rate in March 2020 in response to the economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. On March 3, it was cut to 1.00% to 1.25%, and then again to 0% to 0.25% on March 16.
Could you even imagine the implosion in the USA if rates were as high as Russia’s? Yet they should be at least this high as in Russia….interest rates are the way that countries cheat the system for a short time at least…but the increase in debt interest is exponentially destructive to the system….and thus, we have cheating going on to kick the can down the road…
The UN General Assembly has finally adopted a resolution condemning Nazism, neo-Nazism and all forms of racism. A bill co-sponsored by Russia. It had 130 votes for it…
The US and Ukraine voted against it…
#UNGA76 adopted 🇷🇺-initiated resolution "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of #racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related #intolerance" with 130 votes in favor, 2 against, 49 abstentions. pic.twitter.com/wC63bhKqrj
It gets worse everyday…I know say the EU, “Lets sanction Russia again and again and again and shoot ourselves in the foot for the hundredth time!”
BRUSSELS, December 16. /TASS/. The European Union is preparing a full set of sanctions against Russia, which will be discussed at the EU summit on Thursday, EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrel told reporters as he arrived at the meeting of leaders of 27 EU states in Brussels.”I cannot tell it (which sanctions in particular – TASS), we are going to discuss it before we have an agreement, but we are preparing a full set of sanctions,” he said.Asked whether EU countries will be able to reach a consensus on the issue, Borrel said: “Yes, this time, yes.”
Never ends and will never end until something Crashes, something Wars, something Explodes, something does whatever something is suppose to do – that these idiots want to have done – and or do – as they do what they do and make no sense to anyone but their own pathetic mental state that they live in…
Starting to look like the world is definitely over run with stupid these days? Maybe it has always been that way?
Yet, if stupid was a crop? We have the “cream of the stupid crop” coming to the surface in abundance these days…

Update: On the next day…
BRUSSELS, December 17. /TASS/. Leaders of the 27 EU member states unanimously agreed to extend economic sanctions against Russia by another six-month period, European Council President Charles Michel told reporters on Friday.
Classified JFK assassination files are FINALLY released: Lee Harvey Oswald was in contact with member of KGB two months before shooting and CIA was told ‘Russia was planning to pay hitman $100k to kill the president’ a YEAR before he died
Just how pathetic is this? USA politicians are boycotting Olympics that no one had any intention to invite them to in the first place. They were never invited. Would not be invited. Due to the political garbage they would have spread in the first place. The USA has some incredibly stupid government politicians!
“No invitation has been extended to US politicians whatsoever, so this ‘diplomatic boycott’ simply comes out of nowhere. Such a pretentious act is only a political manipulation and a grave distortion of the spirit of the Olympic Charter,” Spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in the US Liu Pengyu said.
“In fact, no one would care about whether these people come or not, and it has no impact whatsoever on the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to be successfully held,” Liu Pengyu mentioned.
USA: So there, that will show you for not inviting us… (Sandbox brat strikes again!)

PS: Talk about breathing a sigh of relief at not having to put up with the spoiled brats!
В головной части ракеты есть малогабаритная самонаводящаяся противолодочная торпеда. При приближении к цели ракета сбрасывает в воду на парашюте торпеду, а та самостоятельно продолжает искать подлодку противника с помощью гидроакустической станции. По данным Минобороны России, боевая часть ракеты успешно поразила цель. – (At the head of the rocket there is a small-sized homing anti-submarine torpedo. When approaching the target, the rocket drops a torpedo into the water by parachute, and it independently continues to search for the enemy’s submarine with the help of a sonar station. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the missile’s warhead successfully hit the target.)
