Go long, coffee and popcorn…
Got up at 4 a.m. and sipped a cup of coffee here in Russia. Svetochka is at her moms and I have the makings of a trip to leave Russia in my mind. Kyrgyzstan looks like the best bet. Fly into Bishkek international airport stay a few hours and come back to Russia. I would prefer to stay a few days, but with the coronavirus issue….best to play it safe. maybe just go alone, for if quarantined on the way back at the Russian border, it is just me and not Sveta who suffers…
It would be fun for Sveta and I both to go and spend a few days looking around, yet things change too fast right now. Even though Kyrgyzstan has not had a case yet of the virus. That they know of….looks like next week I play the cards I have been dealt…
These are the tidbits of life that make life interesting!
I thought the US was oil independent due to all the fricking & fracking with oil going on?
“Based on the price of oil, I’ve also instructed the Secretary of Energy to purchase at a very good price large quantities of crude oil for storage in the U.S. strategic reserve,” Trump said as he addressed the nation from the Rose Garden on Friday. ~~
“We’re going to fill it right up to the top, saving the American taxpayer billions and billions of dollars, helping our oil industry [and furthering] that wonderful goal — which we’ve achieved, which nobody thought was possible — of energy independence.” ~~
Why the sudden slamming on the brakes and going full reverse?
Because it is going to get much worse before it gets better and even the USA has to face reality at some point. You will find that the oil reserves will be filled with foreign oil and not our fracking junk lubricant…
Fracked oil is worthless unless mixed with the real stuff and they know this…
I am going to walk in a bit. Stop at a few stores and gather anything that I feel would be useful for prolonged home style quarantine. I know that Globus will be a ghost town this morning. Russians have already stocked and like I said weeks ago, “I hope you are stocking also?”
China has reversed the virus issue and Europe has become the new hot point…
I suspect that America will be right there trying to be number one also real soon…
China is pissed, Iran is vivid and until very recent the US tried its best to point fingers and cause turmoil with these countries. I have never seen the lies that fly, like the lies that are flying now. One thing that the US can be proud of is having the most obedient and well paid media on earth and they are using it to the best advantage that they can…
It will not be enough and just when you thought that you can only sink to the gutter, you find yourself going into the storm drain and ending up in the sewer…
I hope that Putin does stay as president for life. Russians deserve it and need it. Turmoil is the worst thing and American style politics are chaos in a hand basket. The Russian constitutional changes are very necessary, the Russian constitution was based on western constitutional standards and these have been found out to be detrimental to any and all societies….unless you go way back in the USA and grab the original constitution and abide by it, you will find that the US does not resemble what our founding fathers envisioned. Is that good or bad? Up to you my friend…
Cookie cutter rules and laws do not work the world over!
