(Tehran Times May 23): http://www.tehrantimes.com/news/423870/Iran-s-12-preconditions-for-negotiating-with-U-S

1. Full nuclear disarmament of the United States, and the destruction of its nuclear weapons, with the presence of international supervisors.
2. Stopping the construction of intercontinental ballistic missiles by the United States, and the destruction of the available missile under the supervision of arm control experts.
3- Full recognition of 20% industrial Uranium enrichment in Iran
4. Agreeing with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the international circles for the full nuclear disarmament of the Zionist regime and the regime’s join to the NPT
5. U.S. thorough withdrawal from the Persian Gulf and the closure of U.S. military bases in the region.
6. The closure of all U.S. military bases in the neighboring countries of Iran, and the withdrawal of U.S. troops from West Asia, Afghanistan and the Indian subcontinent
Note: The U.S. diplomatic presence in neighboring countries of Iran is subject to the lack of interference in the internal affairs of Iran.
7. The release of all blocked property and confiscated property of Iran in the United States, with full payout of their maintenance since 1977
8. Official apologizing the Iranian people for the coup of August 19, 1953, and paying for the 25-year presence of the Pahlavi regime since then (by forming a joint committee between Iran and the United States)
9. Admitting full responsibility for supporting Saddam Hussein during the imposed war on Iran, apologizing the Iranian people and calculating and paying for the losses incurred by the imposed war on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
10. Accepting full legal responsibility for the shot down of Iran’s civilian passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai, number 655, by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from USS Vincennes, a guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy (which took place on July 3, 1988), providing compensation to its survivors, and apologizing the Iranian nation (in the form of a Declaration read by the President and U.S. Secretary of State)

Apart from the widespread criticism that has been raised in Iran and the international system (and even among the United States’ allies) against the Pompeo’s remarks, “12 prerequisites” can be given to the United States and the Trump’s government merely for letting them negotiate with Iranian authorities.It is to be noted here that the following prerequisites shouldn’t be taken as Iran’s terms and conditions for reaching an “agreement with the United States”, but those are merely preconditions for setting up a negotiating table with the United States and the Trump government:

I watched a restaurant send food out to the homeless! I watched people who have no food, getting food at the back door of a restaurant. I watched a truck picking up garbage for hogs. Yes this is Russia, where I saw this…

You better not do that in America anymore and or at least get caught and or told on…

I remember when I use to give all leftovers to the homeless shelters and all garbage of food items to the local farmers. Yes this was America, but that has all changed…

I remember when there was no waste of food in my kitchens and that my friend is very important…

But not anymore is it important…

I remember when I was visited by 8 law enforcement personnel. I was arrested for refusing to stop giving homeless people food. Food from out my back door. Food that I personally handed them. Food that was perfectly fine and safe. Food that would be wasted otherwise…

I remember three officers with weapons drawn as they entered my cafe and presented me with warrant for my arrest and warrant to search my cafe. Wanna know why? I donated free food to Veterans Club and did not have it okay-ed with the local jurisdiction. My food crossed county lines… (Oh My!)

I also remember when I was arrested for refusing to stop giving food to a homeless shelter. I would give them leftover food, in  throwaway type trays and people who had nothing, could eat a good hot meal…

I was taken to court for refusing to stop giving food garbage to the farmers. Farmers would take the left over garbage (Just food!) and cook it and then feed the hogs. I spent 2 weeks in jail for that…

I got to where I wanted to greet every cop with the middle finger, because they were all worthless and could not think for themselves! They seemed to have a mind set of a Zombie and that was that…

I spent years fighting the system in America, trying to help people who needed food and received food through a soup kitchen system…

I remember when I had to stop buying raw milk in food service! I remember when I had to stop buying real tomatoes in food service! I remember a whole bunch and none of it was beneficial for you or I…

Now I watch the world in Russia and watch the local restaurant get milk from the farmer. I watch veggies purchased for customer consumption being bought at the farmers market across the street. I see employees taken leftover food home to feed families, at no cost to them! Literally, I see the world that America was when America was smart, but this is not America that I live in! It is Russia…

What made me express what I am thinking today? Good question and it centers around the fact that everyday, I see another article from America and it is trying to stifle people from helping other people. Like this article…

A woman in Philadelphia is facing a fine for feeding hungry children. Angela Prattis was threatened with a $600 fine for every day she handed out free food.

The local government has tried to get citizens to quit feeding the hungry, hoping that doing so will force the poor into shelters.

Prattis distributes meals every day from the gazebo in her yard. She believes the government has more important things to worry about.

“You have houses here, the roofs are falling in, and they could be focused on a lot of more serious issues than me feeding children,” Prattis said.

“How is feeding kids a bad thing?” she asked. “I’m doing this from my heart because I love children. And these kids are hungry. Last Friday, I had 20 children walk to my house in the pouring rain for lunch, and at 2 p.m., they came back for a snack. Tell me this program is not needed.”

But Township Council Chairman Stanley Kester says that rules have to be followed.

“She wants us to bypass or exonerate her from the zoning hearing. She just doesn’t want to pay to do things the right way. We can’t just start exempting everyone from our laws. If you do one, you’ve got to do everybody,” Kester said.

Prattis will have to pay $1,000 to continue her program.

But Kyle how do you know that this is true?

Did you read above? I have been arrested for fighting the system and trying to not waste food. But in America we waste enough food to feed the hungry of the whole world every year…

There are nearly one billion malnourished people in the world, but the approximately 40 million tonnes of food wasted by US households, retailers and food services each year would be enough to satisfy the hunger of every one of them.

I have been around awhile and I have fought the system. Unlike you who have hidden behind your door. I watched years and years ago all of our rights being taken away and I guess I finally got fed up with it all…

For now I am in Russia and I can buy homemade sauerkraut, meat from the back of a truck, veggies from a babushka grown in her garden, raw butter and raw milk from a truck on the street and if I want to bad enough, I can set up a lemonade stand on the street corner and the cops will walk by and not even look at me. This is in one of the largest cities in the world (Moscow, Russia), not a tiny village on a river bank, that has two cows and 5 babushkas…

In America I have been arrested for standing up for what I believe is correct! I have been arrested for trying to feed people who were starved. I tried to not waste perfectly good food. I was arrested to keep a farmer from getting good slop for his hogs…

I know all about America, I have been there done that and one day you will do that too…

The construction of the longest tunnel in Georgia was completed on May 27, laying foundation for the future operation of the whole line. The project will be an indispensable part of the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway route under the Belt and Road Initiative. It is expected to be accomplished in 2020. It will reduce travel time to three hours and twenty minutes from Tbilisi to the country’s second-largest city Batumi.

Yessiree Bob… Europe here it comes…yes it comes through Russia….for Europe…

Comes in 3%, 5% and 7% – Happy happy Japanese!

Coca-Cola Co.’s Japan unit plans to introduce a fizzy alcoholic drink in the country, in what the company describes as the first alcoholic product it has ever developed. Jorge Garduño, president of Coca-Cola’s Japan unit, said in an article posted on the company’s website that it is “going to experiment” with a canned drink that contains alcohol—a product category known as chu-hai in Japan.

But then originally Coke had cocaine in it (extract of coca leaves and kola nuts) made for that good buzz…and another “but”….Coke sold Kvass in Russia and it had alcohol in it?

I wonder about the Polar Bears in that Coca-Cola ad? Will they be even happier now?

Everyday I walk I pass this pail set intentionally near a bank. It is moved during the day, but at night it is set exactly in the same spot and always facing outwards. The Chinese lady that uses this pail to clean with leaves it right here in the walk way when she is done…

I just find it interesting how people have certain things they like and do…

A bucket, a photo of Bruce Willis and it is faced to the world every night….it is never moved and never bothered, yet it tells a story about someone and that story is respected by all who walk by…

I like it and took a picture of it this morning…

What you see is a Tiny Russian Village home. It is the home of one friend of mine who just died recently. I will move the lawn in a few weeks, but Svetochka and I worked on the fence and home this last week. His wife who lives in Moscow, wants to sell it and or almost give it away. The home is located across the road from our place and Svetochka and I talked. We will see about getting this place, the lady was going to give the keys to the Monastery, but it looks like she would rather see us have the home…

Nicoli was a good friend of mine and he would want me to have his home to care for. He spent years working on it and it is a beautiful place. I will let everyone know what happens with this place…

My grandma said, “Death comes in threes to us on earth!”

This last year, I experienced that three death rule…

Nicoli, Boza and Boris…

They were all wonderful friends of mine and the Tiny Russian Village was very sad in many ways without these three friends of mine…

My name Kyle is Irish and Gaelic in its meaning: A place-name referring to the narrows; a wood or a church. This was told to me by my grandma and she said that I would always be drawn to such places…I have found that she was correct….The Tiny Russian Village is such a place…

I want to travel to Scotland and Ireland…

We have to reload on supplies for the village home to keep rebuilding here at the TRV. But we will be back in about two weeks to finish working on the Tiny Russian Village home…

China connects to Europe through Russia….OBOR project

While the issues that stand out are all hate issues and only what the media wants you to see and hear. There is a bunch of things going on and that they do not want you to see and hear…

Good example is this: Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and President of the Republic of Bulgaria Rumen Radev discussed current matters concerning Russian-Bulgarian trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian cooperation as well as the implementation of joint projects in energy, industry, transportation, and other areas.

The very man who crushed several projects at US and EU demands against Russia, is now back talking to get these projects going again; Belene nuclear power project and gas deliveries from Russia across the Black Sea…

Oops: Bulgarian President Rumen Radev used the first day of an official trip to Moscow on Monday (21 May) to try and resurrect plans for a pipeline that would bring gas directly from Russia to Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast, after it was cancelled in 2014.

My my…some EU flack going on already over this…

This was a huge and I mean a huge success…

Hundreds of things happening right now…

Yet all we see mainly focused on is old lies being retold and new lies being conjured up from thin air…

Europe seems to be staring at the abyss and costs of running things are weighing heavy upon her countries. To buy fuel from America at exuberant rates is suicidal, yet America is demanding just that…

I hope that this shift by Europe and her countries are real and that they are starting to see that they have been mislead and almost destroyed themselves by the actions against Russia. Russia is a friend of Europe and Europe needs to embrace that…

Europe is at another crossroad in its existence and the East is the future and to get to the East, it goes through Russia…

Today I will mow grass some more, work on the car, take a walk and hug my sweetie pie several times…

The bottom line is that MI5 should expect better results from their translators – for 32K/year they should be able to write statements which sound more Russian. pic.twitter.com/Q8kywjUwi0

Svetochka was looking at me and wondering what was wrong with me as I laughed and talked crazy things about Russian language and English language translation issues. I complain about how Russians, no matter how well they have the English language down reverse things all the time in comparison to English. Try to lean Russian as an English native English speaker and you know exactly what I am talking about…

Remember they said it was “highly likely” in the way it was put, was “highly likely” that the Russians poisoned three (3) people in the United Kingdom with massive (Even multiple doses and places?) doses of Novichok, a military grade nerve agent, only made in Russia. Yet none of the three died, which I find “highly unlikely”.

But then this is only for all the sock monkey social media lovers in the first place…

Oh well, we go around and around in a continual lie…
