Windows to RussiaA survivor of six heart attacks and a brain tumor, a grumpy bear of a man, whom has declared Russia as his new and wonderful home. His wife is a true Russian Sweet Pea of a girl and she puts up with this bear of a guy and keeps him in line.
Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.
There are only basically two options at this point for NATO:
1. The complete capitulation of Ukraine…
(or)
2. Going all out and reenact their crusade they started long ago against Russia…
(thus)
It is what NATO has painted themselves into the corner with…
Shall we watch?

Would be nice and maybe more people should understand that once again, it was the West behind what Sassy did to Ossetia…
https://www.rt.com/russia/604038-georgia-to-apologize-for-starting/
Former Georgian prime minister Bidzina Ivanishvili has accused the country’s United National Movement (UNM) party founded by ex-president Mikhail Saakashvili of inciting the 2008 war in South Ossetia.
The country will find the strength to apologize to the Ossetians for the “bloody conflict” and strive to restore trust and unity between the two brotherly nations, he added.

The monastery was given a very nice tractor…
It came with a bunch of attachments and Father Pavel was doing his thing and then changing the oil. He really likes his work tool and the monastery definitely needed it…
I know I could sure use one, but Sammy the Volga is the next best thing… 😉

It turned out that the presumption that Russia would be crushed and destroyed was incorrect. The West had planned to a degree of total incompetency and believed their own incompetence. It fell for it’s own rhetoric and or fell for it’s own wishful thinking. Seems to be a Western trait to try to alter reality these days…
What happened was that the majority of Russians whom saw all this SMO as a fight to stop NATO from invading Ukraine, have now then fully realized that it had turned into a real war of survival against a real enemy that wanted them dead, that strengthened Russian National Unity. The reality that Nazism was still alive became forefront as the Western masks fell to the wayside…
The West = Nazism!
The historical recollection of Kursk as a pivotal battleground during World War II further strengthened the fighting spirit and readiness of Russians. The act that the West did to try to demoralize Russia backfired. Furthermore, it was clear that the NATO nations, which supply the weapons, training, intelligence, war planning, and target selection, had approved or supported the beginning of such a massive Kursk military operation. The Kursk fiasco by the West is what has brought even the most Western supporting Russians into the Kremlin camp…

It is crucial that this information was supplied by Putin and nobody else. Whom speaks in Russia counts a much if not more than anything. If anything, Putin personally is primarily to blame for the situation not turning into a global conflict. He is a knowledgeable man, and his strategy makes sense. both constancy and patience. On the other hand, the opposing side of Western Psychos think they wants war and is fighting until the last minute to acquire it. It will be evident to them when they acquire it that they didn’t want that conflict, but it will be too late to change their minds. Russia has much waiting in the wings…
Enough said, here is what Putin said:
“I have already mentioned this, and any experts will confirm, both in our country and in the West, that the Ukrainian army is not capable of [independently] carrying out strikes using Western modern, long-range precision systems. It cannot do this. This is possible only with the use of intelligence from satellites which Ukraine does not have. This data is only available from satellites of the European Union or the United States, in other words, from NATO satellites. That’s the first point,” Putin said.
and…
“So this is not about whether or not to allow the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia using these weapons, but about deciding whether or not NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not. If such a decision is taken, it will mean nothing short of direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries, in the war in Ukraine. This would constitute their direct participation, and this, of course, changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. It will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia. And if this is so, bearing in mind the change in the very nature of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us,” Putin said.
Shall we watch the sickness and desire of WW3 in the West grow?
