What more needs to be said?

Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.
🎙 Вступительное слово С.В.Лаврова в ходе рабочей встречи с руководителями российских СМИ (26 декабря 2022 года)
🔹 Всё, что мы сейчас видим в Европе и на других континентах, – это отражение попытки установить «конец истории», окончательное и бесповоротное доминирование «золотого миллиарда». Эти «потуги» антиисторичны, направлены на приостановку, подавление объективного формирования многополярного мира.
🔹 Многие государства, политики понимают пагубность такого курса, безальтернативность выстраивания на этой планете отношений добрососедства, позволяющих учитывать интересы друг друга.
🔹 Уверяю вас, что в ближайшее время будем наблюдать серьёзное сокращение возможностей Запада «рулить» в мировой экономике так, как ему хочется. Хочет он или нет, придётся договариваться.
🔹 Не собираемся бегать за Западом. Будем ориентироваться на тех, кто нас никогда не подводил, с кем порой достигали сложные компромиссы, но, когда они достигались, никто никогда никого не обманывал. С Западом всё ровно наоборот.

🎙 Opening remarks by S.V. Lavrov during a working meeting with the leaders of the Russian media (December 26, 2022)
🔹 Everything that we now see in Europe and on other continents is a reflection of an attempt to establish the “end of history”, the final and irrevocable dominance of the “golden billion”. These “attempts” are anti-historical, aimed at stopping, suppressing the objective formation of a multipolar world.
🔹 Many states and politicians understand the perniciousness of such a course, there is no alternative to building good-neighborly relations on this planet that allow taking into account each other’s interests.
🔹 I assure you that in the near future we will observe a serious reduction in the ability of the West to “steer” the world economy in the way it wants. Whether he wants it or not, he will have to negotiate.
🔹 We are not going to run after the West. We will focus on those who have never let us down, with whom difficult compromises were sometimes reached, but when they were achieved, no one ever deceived anyone. With the West, it’s exactly the opposite.

Always…
Terrorism is the USA middle name…

Every country has multiples of recipes to produce the C-4 Plastic Explosive (and or in the case of Nord Stream, probaly Semtex was used since it has a -40 °C to +60 temp range), for different means of usage. Also no two countries makes C-4 and or Semtex like any other country…
That is plastic explosive used by France is different than plastic explosive used by Russia and so on and so on. What would have been used to blow up the Nord Stream Pipeline, without a doubt has unique chemical differences which would indicate at least where the plastic explosive came from. Even if somewhat generalized. It still would match known recipes around the world…
The Russians are being barred because the Nordics/Germans know that they would immediately from any actual evidence determine who did it. Forensics does not lie…
Interesting right and now you know why the west is not allowing Russia to investigate the Nord Stream Terrorist Attack…

I think we will find that the USA is far from the top in GDP and around 4th world wide…
I am positive that China and India are above in real GDP…
GDP has to be real numbers, not woke numbers. I figured it all out when Obama Care was used in GDP. They rigged the system to kick the can…

Western companies that really did not leave Russia. I was surprised at how few actually left. In fact many are expanding operations in Russia, Russia isn’t as isolated as it seems. Most of these companies never wanted to take any stance on Ukraine. I think the idea of leaving a large market such as Russia simply isn’t an easy thing to do…
That also has implications for any potential Sino-U.S. conflict. If western companies find it difficult to leave Russia, then what would they do if America and China begins hostilities?
These are interesting questions one should ask…
Less than 10% of the western companies left. Most just rebranded and reorganized and simply stayed. Many like Burger King, Papa Johns and many more actually, said stick it and kept the name and all…
We in Russia never actually even notice there absence…
Everybody should know (understand) one thing: The WW3 started in Syria and it is going to be now a face to face war! (the 2nd WW started same with Spain and its civil war and then it became a face to face war…). China and Russia are targeted! Believe it or not the war is here!
Soon China will be targeted directly as well this time using Taiwan/South Korea!
The West as in the past is a completely off the wall sick society and now we see that it has always been this sick. The sickness has exasperated when the west allowed total control by the Neo-Con demons to call the shots…
Question: So who is in charge of the USA?

From Svetochka and I at Windows to Russia…
I precooked and prepped all the food for Christmas the day before…
This year we decided that we would have Cow Tongue, sweet potato, bread dressing, boiled squash, salad (greens & tomatoes) and pumpkin pie…
Thus, since the cow tongue takes a minimum of 5 hours of slow cooking? And it took just that! I started cooking ahead of time and had to tell many times to my Sweetpea, “No, that food is for Christmas!”
Moo – Cow Tongue (Говяжий Язык – beef tongue) is really a delicacy… (recipe)
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

As I see it, the reason this season as always…
We are in this world wide trouble in the first place, is because there are too many morally incompetent people in the world who are willing to do any immoral incompetent work for a paycheck…
Personally I don’t blame the “Demon” at the top near as much as I blame the loyal human servants whom without any questions and whom stand there, in full view of all, with hands covered in blood, as well as full of money…
It is only possible for the “Demon” to accomplish its desires? With the help of us humans, by which who make it all possible…
