1. Crimea would still be Ukrainian if not for the coup in Kiev which overruled and nullified Ukraine’s constitution, and disintegrated its territories, violating and ending the Budapest memorandum. Crimea’s parliament announced that Ukraine no longer existed because of that. They were right, and Crimea had to choose their future identity…

2. Crimea’s 2014 referendum fully obeyed international and all laws. Those claiming it was not according to law are just inventing propaganda to be a naysayer because they don’t like that it happened. But it was fully lawful. What wasn’t lawful, however, is the coup in Kiev that nullified Ukraine’s constitution disintegrated its territories, and violated the Budapest memorandum…

3. The USA is projecting its own offenses onto others. The US has invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and many others in recent years, murdering many millions of innocent people and laying waste to otherwise peaceful countries. But RU has not invaded any country during Putin’s tenure as president…

I would like to know who sent them. They hid behind a proxy, but they are correct and accurate…

MOSCOW, June 14 (Xinhua) — Russian scientists are developing a new space laser cannon that could shoot down potentially harmful space debris, according to local media reports.

The powerful “laser cannon” will be based on a three-meter optical telescope, which was first designed to monitor space for satellites and space junk, according to Russian TV network RT. The space trash destroyer will rid the space debris by piercing each junk with its laser beam until the object evaporates by the energy heat.

The new technology is currently under development by researchers at Scientific and Industrial Corporation “Precision Instrument Systems,” a subsidiary of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency.NASA estimated in 2013 that there were more that 500,000 pieces of space junk “the size of a marble or larger” orbiting around the Earth. They all travel at speeds up to 17,500 meters per hour, fast enough for a relatively small piece of orbital debris to damage a satellite or a spacecraft.

The rising number of space debris increased the potential danger to all space vehicles, especially to the International Space Station, space shuttles and other spacecraft with humans aboard.

We were able to get the money together to get two more windows like the front one we replaced…

Yesterday was very busy and mosquitoes are well fed…

So that means we have the windows to replace the side ones at the Russian village home. The windows cost about 3000 rubles (under $50) each. Exactly the same as they were two years ago when we bought the first one. It was nice and is nice to see inflation cease to exist for awhile here in Russia. The windows are real wood and double paned, very nice…

It stretched the budget, but some things have to get done. The windows in the village home were in very bad shape…

I also bought for 20 rubles some rose fertilizer and I hope we still have cherries to munch on in the village. I know that we are going to have a huge apple crop this year and we also have strawberries to pick. The last time we were in TRV that white lilac was doing good and in a few years lets hope to have some wonderful white flowers…

I have to work on the Sammy the Volga. I still need to discover where the oil leak is coming from and we have a strange noise in the rear axle area. I think the brakes are having an issue on the right side in the back…good old drum brakes…

Therefore, today I will be crawling around under the car and trying to see what is going on…

Sveta and I walked for hours last night, the weather is perfect and Moscow is so nice when everyone goes to the dachas and villages. It really is a good thing for the kids to be raised spending months in the villages, learning to grow gardens and raise animals…

Have a nice day..

The nerve of them damn Russians to: 1) show up at court; & 2) expect to be able to look over the evidence against them. Who the hell do those damn Russians think they are? ~Sarc~

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russian intelligence services still have active “interference operations” into U.S. elections and that handing over certain evidence in a criminal case could imperil ongoing investigations. Mueller on Tuesday asked a federal judge in Washington for an order to protect voluminous evidence sought by lawyers for Concord Management and Consulting LLC, one of three companies and 13 Russian nationals charged in a February indictment alleging election meddling…

I guess the guy in the car would not get out and they are taking him anyway. Parking is an issue in Moscow and people will park on top your head if you do not watch out… 😉 But….most likely he would be in jail if this happened in America….think about it…

I think if the weather is good today? Svetochka and I will ride our bikes to the park…

Orthodox churches are everywhere in Russia. I like them…

China and Russia succeeded in getting North Korea and the USA together. It was not easy and much pressure had to be exerted underlining against both countries. The US did its best to slip out of the meeting and almost succeeded. North Korea had to be arm twisted several times by China and then by Russia and with enough back room deals, North Korea was assured that they were protected against the, without a doubt deceit that will come from the Western Empire…

The hoopla is just that hoopla…

North Korea has had several landmark meetings with China and Russia in that last few months. Meetings that intentionally were allowed to slid under the hoopla being spouted by America and rightly so. For no truth gets out unless the agenda is present…

This is a win win for China and Russia and it is simply a step to the end goal. Exactly like a playing chess against checkers. Moves are well thought out in advance, just as they did and are doing….what with a back against the wall USA and a buffer country (NK) getting rightly deserved attention and even will get future compensation from going along with it….it is as I have said many times; Time is important and the longer the East pushes the confrontation down the road, the better it will be for the world…

The Western Empire has found itself, finally after so many many years, doing what it should have those many years ago, after it started a war of geopolitics with the Koreans. Don’t believe me, just do some searching and find out what Korea was really all about. Forget the communism hoopla, look at the real reason and as with you will see also, if you search, a Japan demoralized at WW2 and its run up, you will also see many many years of lies and deceit over the Korean fiasco….just like Libya, Syria, Iraq and so on and so on….connect the dots and you will see America playing checkers and jumping all over the place in chaos…

It is what it is…

Nothing more is needed to be read into this hoopla that we are seeing. This is part of the game of geopolitics and America is not winning. We cannot win unless we start that endless war. This Korea issue is one of long term patience by the East and that is something that America never wins at…

Always:

When a checkers player tries to play chess? The results is always long term win by the chess player…

What should we play?

Sometimes I think America and puppets even desire to play “tiddlywinks”…

Another Holiday and Svetochka and I are busy ignoring the world of chaos and doing our own thing. It is holiday times again in Russia, seems to be holiday time all the time here! As always the huge city of Moscow is half empty again, for everyone goes to the dachas and it is easy to get things done around here…

Yesterday we went to a huge builders market and bought two more windows for the Tiny Russian Village home. Then we shopped for other items to work on the village home and found that life was not bad in Moscow. Everyone is gone, so we had only millions of people to dodge, not billions… 😉

Holidays and Holidays: Russia loves her holidays…
