Sergey Sobyanin; Sergey Semyonovich Sobyanin is a Russian politician, serving as the 3rd Mayor of Moscow since 21 October 2010. Sobyanin previously served as the Governor of Tyumen Oblast, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and Head of the presidential administration…
Now we have another looking at the big prize of running Russia:
Mishustin
Mikhail Mishustin; Mikhail Vladimirovich Mishustin is a Russian politician and economist serving as Prime Minister of Russia since 16 January 2020. He previously served as Director of the Federal Taxation Service from 2010 to 2020…
Putin does not give who he would support! Thus, the flare up between Mayor Sergey Sobyanin and Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin is starting to come to a head…
Yet I see Maxim Reshetnikov as another future choice for president…
Reshetnikov
Maxim Reshetnikov; Maxim Gennadievich Reshetnikov is a Russian politician, Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation since January 21, 2020. Previously he served as the Governor of the Perm Krai from September 18, 2017 to January 21, 2020. He is Member of the Supreme Council of the United Russia political Party.
But he is less known…
The two who are at odds with each other are better known and high up in the Russian Gov….
Mikhail Mishustin & Sergey Sobyanin have been silently, to now differing in opinions about several subjects…
The most important issue is over quarantine measures about King Covid-19…
Lets just say they are on different ends of the spectrum and actually if you combine their actions, you would have a better answer to the issue…
So now the “rumor mill” of billions of babushkas, or so it seems that many babushkas, has mayor Sergey Sobyanin being soon to be appointed to Deputy Prime Minister & will still be Moscow Mayor, under Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin…
I suspect that Putin is watching and will see what comes from this. Who will be the gentleman and who will be the asshole? That is how I look at it…
Putin is no fool!
His successor has to be cut from a certain mold and he will not support someone who does not put Russia first…
So it may be none of the above…
It will be interesting to watch what happens. Who falls on their face and who rises above the challenge and there is lots of time, Maxim Reshetnikov has the availability for his star to shine, if the others falter…
I will tell you that grandstanding as a politician does not work in Russia. Thus, you have to listen and watch carefully as the shots are fired at each other respectfully…
Time will tell and I have an idea who I like. That will come out later as I write upon this blog. I still am watching and listening!
Every four years the policies of the USA can change at a new administration of the USA. Many changes could be called good and I will say they are good…
Biden just changed or reactivated:
“Rejoining the World Health Organization (WHO)” is a big example of how off base (brain farted) Trump was over Covid-19…
“Extending eviction and foreclosure moratoriums for Americans.” Is more than a big issue (& brownie points available all around) and should have been done already twenty times over…
Continuing the “pause” on student loan payments until September 30. Terrible program and has impoverished too many Americans….Enough said…
“Rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement.” Another Trump brain fart moment…
“End Keystone XL pipeline and revoke oil and gas development at national wildlife monuments.” Just don’t destroy our land. We spout we are oil independent! Right? Enough said…
“Halted construction of the border wall by terminating the national emergency declaration used to fund it.” Another brain fart moment of Trumps and besides I though Mexico was paying for the wall?
And a very big one and the one I watch closely; “Freezing last-minute Trump administration regulatory actions.” Actions made based on hate, revenge and spite…
Some moves made that I will consider not so good in its substance as pertaining to future issues:
“Rescinds the Trump administration’s 1776 Commission, directs agencies to review their actions to ensure racial equity”….enforcement, reinforcement and de-enforcement of racial stuff with me, in my eyes, is a bad sign of issues coming…
I call this a Biden brain fart….”Requires non-citizens to be included in the Census and apportionment of congressional representatives.” Why? Count them but never include them with the actual citizens. We need to know who is in our country, yet that does not give them rights as a citizen. Does it? (As an American living in Russia, I know about this stuff!)
“Reverses the Trump administration’s restrictions on US entry for passport holders from seven Muslim-majority countries.” I guess we will see…
Another brain fart by Biden? “Undoes Trump’s expansion of immigration enforcement within the United States.” About the only thing Trump acted upon correctly. There should be strict laws of crossing the border and the ones who illegally cross should be in trouble. Yet, the ones who want to cross should be treated fairly…
And thus, the joke is on us!
It just shows me the instability of the USA system of Gov. A very unstable system of Government. Toss a good dose of psychotic behavior and you get Helter Skelter…
Oh my, that video brought back memories!
Right now all the little Hitlers and Napoleons are running around like chickens with their heads cut off and begging for scraps with the new administration…
This is going to be interesting as the days go by. We are going to see some good things happen, yet mixed with in those good things are going to be some doozies of a bad issue developing…
Myself, all I desire to see is for the USA to lay off terrorizing other countries. For it is a wonderful world for the most part and if America will just get her house in order and stop the terror. The world will breath a sigh of relief…
When the trade war on China stops and the constant sanctions against Russia stop? Then we might be seeing some real progress?
Trump went out spouting lies, as he has done non-stop since becoming president and as he has done his whole life…
WASHINGTON, January 20./TASS/. Donald Trump released a farewell address on his final day in office as President of the United States, saying he was proud to have started no new wars.
“I am especially proud to be the first President in decades who has started no new wars,” Donald Trump said.
“As a result of our bold diplomacy and principled realism, we achieved a series of historic peace deals in the Middle East. Nobody believed it could happen. The Abraham Accords opened the doors to a future of peace and harmony, not violence and bloodshed. It is the dawn of a new Middle East, and we are bringing our soldiers home,” the outgoing president added.
Trump was given the opportunity to do what so few presidents had the possibility to do. That was to actually do anything big thing he ran for president on…
But the second it was obvious that he was a puppet president, like so many before him….it was all over!
Why does everyone think Biden is now president?
It wasn’t stolen, it was given back to a more stable situation, not better grant you, yet more stable in a sense for the world…
The acts of war were very blatant during Trumps era. The Trade war with China, the sanctions after illegal sanctions on Russia, the alternate attack after attack and even the underhanded killing of an Iranian leader, Attacking Syria with missiles, helping Israel attack Syria and Iran, allowing Israel to move the capital & I could write page after page of things that illegally happened…
So many small countries as so many small countries have been twisted and coerced into changing things and or be sanctioned and plied by media into poverty and turmoil…
So many terrible things, that either were the continuation of past presidents of the US and or Trump instilled himself illegally…
I don’t forget:
I have article after article about what was said by many past presidents of the USA. Trump is no different and Trump lost every battle he tried to do for the people, because he never cared in the first place and that is what changed my feelings the most about the corruption of the system in the USA…
Dozens of USDA attempts to stop and still attempting to stop the Russian/Germany pipeline – The USA is “Illegal” in all ways upon the international system!
Orthodox Epiphany comes twelve days after Christmas, with many taking a traditional plunge into the freezing water of lakes or rivers to mark the holiday…
Alexey Navalny is having a bunch of western money spent upon advertisement of a sorts over his arrest by the Russian police. The West is going all out in every news article they can buy and even advertisement spots on Yandex, Mail.RU and many other venues of paid propaganda spots in Russia…
And a thousand thousand more links constantly barraging the internet system in Russia…
It looks as if millions of dollars are being spent to advertise how wonderful and innocent Alexey Navalny is…
Attacking Putin like he is responsible for Navalny and his antics of illegalities!
I have spent the morning following the money and it all ends up back within western news sources and western back NGO’s…
I am glad. This is good that the western world has decided to pay out upon an endless worthless hole of filth, such as Alexey Navalny and it will get nowhere in the end. Well, it will just bring millions of dollars to Russia…
Now just as I and many predict, the call for more sanctions against Russia are running amok and will happen as they always do. Sanctions that have no bases of truth, yet they are imposed upon Russia again and again…
Alexey Navalny is actually lucky that Russia is trying to protect him. That is the bases of the thirty day under supervision. Maybe longer if the need arises?
Why the need?
Alexey Navalny has outlived his usefulness by the western world and dead he would be used as a martyr. He has no use alive for the west. Thus he ran with lots of fanfare back to safety within Russia. he was never in danger in Russia, never ever…
He is in danger now, he knows it, Russia knows it and anyone with half a brain cell knows it…
Lets see how this plays out…
Again, Russia is being illegally and immorally imposed upon by the western psychos…
This is the kinda thinking I do that gets the western world to attack WtR constantly…
Maybe more people should ask why and follow the money and follow the agenda?
(I guess when nothing else you did was successful? Then toot the horn anyway… TOOT TOOT)
Then I walked at -20 degrees and kinda was flabbergasted:
Hard not to forget…and we just talk here about the Trump/Pence regime….not about the post regimes of the past…
The Trump and Pence regime declared war on Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Korea, Turkey, Russia, China, Cuba and most of the EU by way of illegal sanctions, siege and protection racket style threats to financially ruin these countries if they refused to submit to US dictatorship/bullying of their nations. Everything from Tariff Wars to War on Nord Stream 2….with lots of crap in between. And never once stopping wars that had been started by past regimes…
Here is Pence:
I’m proud to report with just a few days left in our Administration, our Administration is the first in decades that did not get America into a new war. That’s Peace through Strength. pic.twitter.com/uiSNxi67aT
As for not starting wars, that is subterfuge and or a red herring. This latest regime has increased in many ways all the existing wars, significantly so against Russia, China, Iran and Venezuela. The reality is the USA is already stretched to the max and any new war the size of their Iraq war crime is beyond successful capability now. The Trump and Pence regime has been busy consolidating, streamlining and making preparations for what will be a continuation of cold, soft and hot wars in the near future as the Western Empire of the US tries to maintain its world domination. Had a Clinton regime been elected in 2016, they would have essentially followed the same Geo-Strategy that was followed…
In my eyes:
The Trump and Pence regime declared war on Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Korea, Turkey, Russia, China, Cuba and much the EU by way of illegal sanctions, also through the siege and protection racket style threats to financially ruin these countries and more, if they refused to submit to US dictatorship/bullying of their nations…
Yet was the murder of Soleimani not a declaration of war upon Iran?
Was not the illegal implementing of a puppet president in Venezuela an act of war?
There is more instances of attempting to start a war…
We should all thank Venezuela and Iran instead of condemning them. They had every right to fight back against being attacked illegally…
Another blatant weird example of US psychotic thinking…
Look, look…we kept fanning the flames of existing fires we started around the world, but we didn’t light any new matches. We tossed kerosene upon the flames instead of water. Kept terrorizing the world and dragging millions into misery, but we don’t call it war. Pathetic and disgusting drivel…
To me it is:
Very weird acceptance of America’s propensity for military involvements overseas, but it’s a psycho sort of logic that a sitting president be praised for not going to war as if it required great leadership to avoid it…
It wasn’t hardly two weeks or so ago that China was allowing the youth to party hearty again. Pictures all over the internet…
Oops, King Corona Covid-19 never lets an opportunity to pass without exploiting it….as every country has found out the hard way…
(I have been tracking holidays, events and letting schools back in all over the world and almost without fail….King Corona reappears a few weeks to a month after us humans allow uncontrolled mass gatherings! Everywhere! And the longer countries go without trying to control? Well look at Britain, America, Russia and a dozen others…)
Back to building hospitals again to account for all the cases of Covid-19 and as always they like everyone else look to blame what is not to blame for the resurgence of the King Covid…
Sorry China, like Russia, like Britain, like the USA and many many more….if you look the other way and allow the masses to party. King Corona comes home to roost…
Blame where it happens, not where we wish it would have happened….like ice cream, travelers, etc….it happens because we allow it to happen…
I myself am tired of the games. Either lock it down and keep it locked down, or let it go, yet do not bitch and cry either way…
That means countries and the people in them…
Yes I know, China will still get it under control better than anyone else!
WtR
PS: Schools are going back full swing in Russia and in two to three weeks we will see what happens. I hope the vaccine is going to help?
Very good article: TASS exclusive, In his op-ed for TASS, Dmitry Medvedev focuses on the internal and external instability currently plaguing the United States…
We do not want the US to have problems. And for practical reasons: such problems create waves of instability all-around that overflow us as well. The problems of the Unites States can only be solved by the Americans themselves along with the good governance of the country. One of the founding fathers of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, rightly noted that “the whole art of government consists in the art of being honest”. Any election is the most important test of such honesty. Of course, only Americans themselves can decide whether to put aside their national selfishness and launch the voting system reform, and, consequently, the reform of political life, or not. So far, there has been no real move towards this. Nor even the slightest hint of a desire to change anything. And the international community is already paying too high a price for the US reluctance to change.
That people actually want to believe that Trump is the person to lead a revolution in the USA!
Trump is the system!
I agree that the US needs a serious makeover and it needs to be slapped down with its bully attitude and hate for the world, its hate for its own people, the overreaching tyrannizing of its desires, yet to look at Trump as a leader of a revolution to change the system that he endorses and makes him rich, is nuts to say the least…
Trump had his usage and I spoke of that usage right here on WtR. But to lead a real change? Trump is too much part of the system to do that…
I shake my head in disbelief at the Trumpies, the Bidenites, Obamanites & whatever/whomever is being worshiped at this moment…
Trump is no leader if you want a revolution!
You have to find that leader first and then get that revolution going. Too many wanna mouth off and no one take the reins to accomplish the task…a revolution has to be built and developed with a network and silence. Then timing has to be perfect to expose that revolution to the system and rock the boat…
Gotta find a Che Guevara, Robespierre, Luxemburg, Gandhi, Toussaint, Mother Jones, Connolly, Zapata, Fanon, Trotsky, Marx, Bakunin, Lumumba, Makhno, Durutti, Spartacus, Mandela, Lenin, Cromwell, Ho Chi Minh, Garibaldi, Mazzini, so many more fit the bill and yet we seem to be lacking on one to change the USA…
