Windows to Russia is getting older…
I cleaned her up this morning. Did some Autumn sweeping and I just realized, WtR from its humble beginnings, has reached the 18 year old stage in the World Wide Web…
12700 ++ articles as this is posted. I remember saying, “Wow I did 100 posts!”
WtR has no outside influence, no money coming from outside sources, no money of support from inside sources, no other writers (though I tried to get a few to write), and no ads and whatnot’s…
While the USA and UK has tried to tell me what to write and threatened me many times, Russia has never ever one time tried to influence anything I say. I have dealt with lawsuits from the USA and lost several domains confiscated by GoDaddy over the years, due to US requesting me to be shut down. They even blocked me and took my kylekeeton.com domain. The domain that WtR was first located on. It has been, was stolen due to, drum roll 🥁 , sanctions. Yes, we all get kicked around by the big guys. 😉
Wow it has been 18 years and lots of interesting experiences…

The political council of the ruling Georgian Dream party said the then president “resorted to adventurous actions in August 2008, which resulted in war.”
Yes Sassy at the orders of his masters in the USA started a small war. Medvedev kicked his ass hard…

I see that statement above in the west now… (Except it should say, How to get Russia to Negotiate?)
Answer to the West. – Stop lying about everything and tell the truth.
See title: the question they ask is a lie, it is not Putin but Russia they have to deal with…

Now a revelation that has defied all logic from the beginning…
Ignazio Cassis and Antonio Tajani have signed a joint declaration in which they reaffirm that Switzerland and Italy will remain in close contact to jointly create the best possible conditions for a second peace summit involving the parties, including Russia, and all interested global players.

~~ What an amazing concept, “including Russia”! ~~
I wonder if they figured that out all by themselves?

Makes sense to me…

They should have listened way back when…
In 2018 the West blocked me from all Western Controlled Social media…
~~ And the internet shrugged and said, “You Kyle are evil and deserve it, for everyone knows the West is the home of Saints!” ~~
I shrugged and kept going, even as millions who read daily, ran away from fear of their overseers in the West. Being correct is a lonely spot at times…
