Gonna be some time away from WtR. Maybe 3 or 4 days at most?

Have to run on a business trip and get some issue dealt with. Then when done I have Sammy the Volga to finish and off to the TRV (Tiny Russian Village)…

Therefore, the rest of May is sorta already taken up with lots and lots of things to do. Then June will be just as busy and then I have so much to do at TRV that it looks like this summer will be gone before I blink…

Fuggy Doodles…

✅The Russian president stated that the desired outcome of the special military operation is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, create conditions for lasting peace, and ensure Russia’s national security.

➕He also emphasized that an essential objective is to protect the interests of people living in regions where residents consider Russia their homeland.

Medvedev talks about the threats being spewed by the West over a ceasfire…

Medvedev said, “All enemies of Russia that issue negotiating ultimatums should remember a simple thing: peace negotiations alone do not always lead to the end of hostilities,”

and he also said…

“Unsuccessful negotiations can lead to the onset of a more terrible stage of the war with new weapons and participants,”.

He is correct and at this moment Trump and other in the West just spout crap all over the place. Crap that flows from their mouths like diarrhea…

My own thought about Russia and negotiations going on right now with NATO/Ukraine/USA/EU Etc…

The rationale for Russia to be engaging in negotiations with the West appears questionable, given the West’s historical inability to uphold agreements. It is almost certain that the West will promptly subvert any accord, as evidenced by their past actions. Nevertheless, it may be prudent for Russia to proceed with the negotiations. Nothing for Russia to lose and everything to gain as the West tightens its own noose immensely. – kKEETON…

Time to pull USA troops from Europe?

Just that running away and that is a good thing…

https://www.reuters.com/world/us-start-european-troop-withdrawal-discussions-later-this-year-us-nato-2025-05-16/

TALLINN, May 16 (Reuters) – The United States will begin discussions with European allies to reduce U.S. troops in Europe later this year, U.S. ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said on Friday.
Asked to comment on a report that the Trump administration is considering withdrawing troops from Europe, Whitaker said “nothing has been determined”.

Please keep running for the sake of our future and long life…
