Windows to Russia

I was having my morning cup of coffee. I got thinking about the new program I got that tells me what counties visit me. It is not fool proof, because I get a listing called others. So that means that I am not getting all countries. If I have left out your country and you have been to Windows to Russia, then leave me a comment and I will add your country.

Russian Federation, United States of America, Australia, India, United Kingdom, Canada, Malaysia, Germany, Romania, Philippines, Turkey, New Zealand, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Israel, Italy, Bulgaria, Ireland, Belgium, Austria, South Africa, Vietnam, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Norway, Finland, Kuwait, Brazil, Slovak Republic, Singapore, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Poland, Northern Mariana Islands, Macedonia, Republic of Moldova, Republic of Korea, Iran, Switzerland, Barbados, Croatia/Hrvatska, Greece, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Cyprus.
(48 Counties and 3704 separate sites)

This is only what I have after about a week and a half of stats. I hope the lists grows to all countries in the World.

I will keep adding the new additions as they come in:
New Additions: Denmark, Egypt, Oman, Latvia, Panama, Jordan, Palestinian Territories, :)))
(55 Countries and climbing)

This is really neat, I care about who visits and when I see a new county show up, I look up the country in a encyclopedia and see what they are all about.

I want everyone to know that I appreciate all visitors and wish you to come back to keep updated.

comments welcome as always.

I was drinking my cup of coffee today and heard a report about a missile falling to earth in Georgia. It never exploded!

So, if you want my two Rubles worth, The Georgians are full of Bologna! You really think that the missile would not have gone off?

Also the USA has to stick their nose into the situation and say, “A U.S. official familiar with the case says the Georgians’ evidence is credible and that there is no evidence to support the Russians’ story.” Here we go again, The unsaid USA official, solves all problems. (I know that it makes me feel better.)

article:
New Tensions Arise Among Neighbors
The Washington Post

On Monday, a missile crashed into the ground near a village in Georgia. The weapon failed to detonate, but the event has nevertheless sparked new tensions between the small, democratic country and Russia, its former overlord to the north.

Details are still emerging, but the Georgian government says radar records prove that a Russian Su-24 jet entered Georgian airspace from the northeast, dropped the missile and then returned home. Georgian officials also claim that the recovered weapon was a Russian anti-radar missile designed for use with the Su-24, an aircraft not in Georgia’s arsenal.

There is speculation that the target was a nearby Georgian radar installation. Moscow has insisted that the Georgians attacked themselves — a Kremlin defense that has become unsettlingly familiar and no more convincing. A U.S. official familiar with the case says the Georgians’ evidence is credible and that there is no evidence to support the Russians’ story.

The missile incident resembles in a disturbing way a March incident in which a missile was fired at a government building in Abkhazia, a small territory in northwestern Georgia that is home to pro-Russian rebels. Then, too, the evidence pointed to Russian aggression, but a United Nations report stopped short of blaming Russia — probably because Moscow had to sign off on the document.

By violating Georgian sovereignty, the Kremlin may hope to bait Georgia into responding with force of its own near an already tense border.

Added conflict in the region could make Western governments nervous about Georgia’s suitability to join NATO, membership being a key goal of pro-Western President Mikheil Saakashvili. So far, however, Georgia has wisely limited itself to releasing information and lodging diplomatic protests.

The United States and Europe should help Georgia bring the issue before the UN Security Council. And if, after a full vetting of the facts, it remains clear that the Russians are at fault, Georgia’s aspirations for NATO membership should not be hampered. Indeed, stemming this sort of aggression is what NATO was set up to do.

This comment appeared as an editorial in The Washington Post.

What do you think, Russia shooting missles at Georgia? Georgia playing games?

I was drinking my morning cup of coffee and I thought maybe you would like to see Russian made cars and trucks.

Not what you would see in the USA. These were, home grown and they still make them today in Russia, like they made them yesterday in the USSR.

1st picture: Russian pickup truck.
2nd picture: Russian compact car. (Lada)
3rd picture: Russian van. (4X4)
4th picture: Russian Volga. (big car)

These are just some of the ones made. They are not the most modern looking cars. You will not see them running down the freeway in America. But they last on the byways of Russia, Ukraine, Moldova and any other country that is lucky enough to have them.

My favorite is the Volga and picture #4 is our Volga. We have many trips planned for her and China is one of those places that this Volga will travel.

Now this is just my opinion and is based only on posts related to Russia, not on any personal posts of mine like family. (The grand baby, Svet, and Sweetie posts would be my favorite). :)))

I am taking off today and let my posting fingers, take a break!
