Windows to Russia
Boza and I walk four or five times a day. I should say, I walk steadily and Boza runs ahead and waits. I plod along and keep going, Boza leaves me in the dust and then sometimes is even asleep when I find him. Unless we find a kitty, then Boza is left behind by me… 🙂
These images are from one walk and only a few of the images that I took, because he stopped and waited twenty times…
Yes Boza and I walk… 🙂

Windows to Russia…
This is an article that I have posted and reposted in full to make sure the information gets spread. That way if one site goes down, others will have the information to pass on. The facts in this article are simply that, “Facts!” Russia and China are and have been getting ready for World War and the American/West is behind the Eight Ball…

We post the following letter from David K. Lifschultz, President of Genoil, Inc. whose offices are at One Rockefeller Center, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10020. David has been promoting his firm for many years; the company owns patents to a process which converts heavy oil into light oil at an economically advantageous cost.
We think his warnings are extremely serious and merit the consideration of our readers.
From David K. Lifschultz, January 11, 2105:
In view of the Gorbachev warning of nuclear war over the Ukraine, I resend again the analysis of Trotsky’s “No Peace: No War” and a military review of Russia’s capabilities.
Subject: “No War: No Peace” Commissar Leon Trotsky:
It is probably more accurate to describe the today’s war of Germany against Russia as a The Hundreds Years’ War starting in 1914, as Russia and Germany were allies in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. These wars were interspersed as it has been by truces. The German plans at the 1914 commencement of The Hundreds Years’ War were reflected during their Brest-Litovsk negotiations to annex Russian Poland, and the Ukraine was to be detached from Russia as an independent state under German protection. The Baltic States were to be annexed by Germany. The goals are exactly the same today in nature if not form.
It is important to note that the form of Empire or Imperialism changed in its form but not its nature after World War Two. In World War Two Roosevelt’s war aims were to dismantle and take over five empires: that of Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan. In other words, the United States inherited the control of the seas from Britain and their entire Empire as well as the others. This, or course, explains how our actions in French Indochina and our actions in British Iraq were no different than our predecessors. The use of the Cross against the Hammer and Sickle was just a ruse. The Korean and Vietnam Wars were part of the struggle against the Soviets where Stalin had large number of Russian aircraft and flyers directly participate in combat with the Americans in the Korean War. Empire was no longer called Empire but the incorporation into the free market system of the United States. Discipline is created by sanctions as in the case of Iran or war as in the case of Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics completely replicated the geostrategic policies of the Tsars substituting Bolshevism for Christianity as their New Jerusalem and Stalin admired greatly Ivan The Terrible who is shown in Stalin’s 1944 movie on Ivan IV of Russia always crushing Boyar rebellions as Tsar Stalin crushed continuous opposition from the Bolshevik Boyars.
The Germans saw a golden opportunity in the collapse of Russia under the drunken Yeltsin by creating looting operations and destroying the Russian economy, and moved into the Balkans staging massacres, ethnic unrest and rebellion in Croatia, Slovenia, and latter Kosovo until the old Yugoslavia was totally destroyed as a force and ally of Russia. The entire effort was to lay Russia lower and lower to paraphrase Ludendorff explaining his funding of the Bolshevik Revolution. Germany pulled the plug on Russia in the 1998 Russian financial crisis, and then fomented the bombing of Belgrade for 78 days starting on March 24, 1999 as a replication of the German bombing of Belgrade in April, 1941 under their Operation Retribution. They did this through staged massacres in Kosovo that were reported as fake in the Manchester Guardian and later proven so by an extensive investigation. There was no blood or cartridges by the bodies which indicated that the corpses were shot up after they were dead, and these incidents were conducted under the German BND (Bundesnachrichtendienst) in accordance with their historical Sudetenland style provocations. Only, they delegated the work to the Albanians who were incompetent.
Commissar Trotsky had walked out of the initial Brest-Litovsk peace negotiations stating “No War: No Peace” and would not sign the peace treaty. The Soviets refused to accept the dismemberment of their nation and the destruction of their national security. You might say this is where Germany likes to think of itself today sitting with its hand on Russia’s throat but there is going to be a role reversal in the near future.
The peace negotiations were later resumed after Germany seized most of the Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic countries. As the Lenin government was about to collapse, the Germans demanded the cession of Dunaburg, Livonia, and Estonia to Germany, cession of western Armenia to Turkey, and recognition of an independent Ukraine. All Russian troops had to leave the Ukraine and Finland and the Russian Army had to be completely demobilized. The treaty cut out of Russia a quarter of its population and industry and nine-tenths of its coal. Essentially Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus and the Ukraine were ceded to Germany. When Field Marshall von Hindenberg was asked why Germany needed the Baltic States, he said “to secure my left flank when the next war happens”, which took place on June 22, 1941. We are now in a continuation of that war.
Europe has not returned to the 1930s as they never left the 1930s. The great powers are maneuvering in Europe in a declared war against each other (President Franklin Delano Roosevelt when asked in 1940 why he did not embargo oil to Japan explained that this would have been a declaration of war. He launched the embargo on July 25, 1941. So any suggestion that the EU and the United States are not in a state of war with Russia is false.) The tiny powers in the Baltic and Poland, and some others, are screaming hysterically against Russia as they did against Germany in 1939, and they do not realize that they are pawns to the great powers who will do with them as they will. They have short memories about Germany. Nobody really cares about the populations of Poland or the Ukraine, or the others, as Poland learned after the British murdered General Wladyslaw Sikorski over the dismemberment of Poland demanded by Stalin and the Katyn massacres.
An ideal peace treaty in this situation would be the return to Poland of the western Ukraine that was theirs before World War Two, the return of East Prussia to Germany that Stalin took from them, and the return of the Eastern Provinces of the Ukraine to Russia whose population had always been part of Russia, and the withdrawal of Poland from NATO. Such a proposal if it reached the populations of Russia, Poland and Germany would be hugely popular though the leadership of Germany will settle for no less than the complete dismemberment of Russia as in 1914. In addition, the eastern European members of NATO should become neutral and all western missile systems withdrawn. They are not necessary anyway as we have submarine missile systems offshore Russia. Whether the S-500 can stop them as the Russians think or not is immaterial as that base is just as well covered by sea as by land. That is what the Trident nuclear submarine fleet accomplished as far back as during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan.
The difference now is that the Russians constitute the strongest military power in the world today and that is why you do not see them making threats as Germany and the United States as they hold all the cards. See our “Playing Russian Roulette With The Russians”. There is a lot of disinformation circulating about star wars laser defense capacity in outer space that can shoot down ICBMs and cruise missile of the west but this is pure science fiction. Their exists considerable resistance in outer space to laser beams, and though not as much as on the earth, it cannot begin to reach down to ICBMs as well as surface missiles. Russia can use financial default as a potential financial weapon of mass destruction for their 600 billion plus mostly private debt in dollar terms to western nations and banks, and also can implode the entire world by cutting off their natural gas and oil to the west crashing a quadrillion of derivatives. They have not issued one major threat against Germany and the United States despite being provoked daily with barrage after barrage of lunatic propaganda comparing Putin with Hitler as Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and others. They are preparing their offensive and defensive missiles for war and massively accelerating their rollout. Patience in the Russians is not weakness but strength. The military situation of the west is deteriorating daily and Russia will soon be ready.
Russian Military Capabilities:
The Russian Topol M ICBM is the world’s fastest missile at 21 Mach (16,000 miles an hour) and there is no defense. If launched from Moscow, it can hit Washington or New York City in 18 minutes. It can hit Chicago in 18.6 minutes. and 22.8 minutes to Los Angeles. The Russian submarines and the Chinese submarines can launch offshore the United States striking coastal targets within a minute. The Chinese submarines have surfaced next to United States aircraft carriers undetected. If the aircraft carrier could not detect the submarines, it can be deduced that United States land defenses can also not detect the submarines offshore the United States in time. The Chinese and Russian are focusing their naval effort on submarines as surface warships are obsolete as they cannot be defended against contemporary Russian and Chinese missiles and they are out producing us in submarines which is such a vital strategic area. It is important to carefully reread this rewritten analysis demonstrating that the MAD defensive doctrine no longer exists. This doctrine forestalled major wars for nearly seventy years as the United States and the Soviet Union had close enough parity to negate the use of nuclear weapons. Russia also had a conventional defense with their buffer states reaching into East Germany which gave them a conventional cushion that is now gone. The prerequisites for MAD are no longer the case as this study demonstrates. It also predicts that we face a very realistic possibility of a major war in Europe within six to twelve months after the Russians complete their defensive missile rollout of S-500 anti-missile missiles which will seal their country off from ICBMs and cruise missiles. (The Russians will only admit as to the S-500 that it will be rolled out in 2016, but informed sources say it is being rolled out now. Also, the fact that the very advanced S-400 is soon being delivered to China implies that they are holding back their operational S-500) The Russians see Brzezinski’s effort to destroy Russia step by step from the Balkans, to the eastern expansion of NATO into eastern Europe to the Ukraine. The Russians know that Brzezinski will not be satisfied until all of Russia is dismantled and destroyed as a nation, and therefore they realize they face an existential threat to their very existence. You do not do this to a country unless you plan war and that is exactly what Kerry and Nuland are doing. The loss of Christian Russia to China is the greatest strategic blunder of the west since the 1949 loss of China to Russia but worse as both are more powerful than then. It is natural for Russia not to talk as they are stalling for time until the S-500+ defenses saturate Russia.
This is a considerably updated version where I added the deep concern in our military over the Chinese development of missiles to hit our military satellites. The Germans similarly underestimated the Russian military capability as I pointed out regarding the T-34 tank. Hagel came out recently saying that we were now behind. I also added the jamming capacity of the Russian missiles against the Aegis Combat System. All of this is open source. The data on the jamming came from the information on the strike of the Russian missile on the Israeli INS Hanit offshore Lebanon as released by DEBKA. (DEBKA disputed the Israeli government statement that the jamming systems were turned off and they were not. Also, the editor of DEBKA told me it was a Russian missile though Israel says it was Chinese.) What is not referred to below is non-open source which makes the situation even more grave. The Russians are testing the NATO and United States response times by their aerial penetrations. While the United States spent a trillion dollars looking for ten people in Afghanistan, and another two trillion looking for non-existent WMDs in Iraq, the Russians and the Chinese have been spending massive amounts of money on investments in new technologies to jump one or two generations ahead of the United States. And they have succeeded. Now, in the most colossal strategic blunder in the history of the United States, Victoria Nuland has succeeded in creating a geopolitical catastrophe greater than when Tito took over the Balkans and Chairman Mao China, and these two combined with the Soviet Union gave nearly the entire Eurasian land mass to Bolshevism. She has joined the formerly sleeping Dragon that Napoleon warned never to wake up, a modernized China, with Russia almost as a parallel to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939 which shook the entire world. What is so incredible about this is that Russia is now Christian and had opened their arms to the western Christendom, and we are now trying to kick down the door of their house as Germany tried on June 22, 1941. This earthquake that is considerably over ten on the Richter scale has not been detected by any of the corporate media which control the news in the west in the manner of an old Pravda. And Victoria Nuland is still at her post! The last time around when something like this happened we had the McCarthy era explosion charging George Marshall with treason for stopping the supplies to Chiang Kai-shek while the Soviets turned over to Chairman Mao all the Japanese equipment that was surrendered to the Soviets. The new Russia-China alliance is worse than the Soviet-undeveloped Mao China alliance by many dimensions. The Russians and the Chinese can muster 120 million troops (100 million for China and 20 million for Russia) sporting the most advanced strategic nuclear missile and anti-missile equipment in the world. Nor have we discussed the problem of the detonating of a nuclear bomb above the United States which could engender a dire saturation of the United States with electromagnetic pulse signals that would shut down every electronic device and computer in the country.
There is below not a very worthwhile review of Russian capabilities by the Council of Foreign Relations. Their strategic nuclear capabilities are compared to the United States based on numbers but not by quality. For example, the Russian ICBM armed with MIRVs travels at about 21 Mach (16,000 miles an hour, flight distance between Moscow and Washington, D. C. is 4,874 miles, or 18 minutes away) which is far faster than that of the United States and basically cannot be defended against. Their S-500 we understand is being rolled out so this is a dated study according to an informed source, and the fact the Russians are going to give the Chinese the S-400 implies that they must have something better in reserve. The S-400 will make China invincible to United States air power and ICBM and cruise missiles.
It is traditional for the Russians to understate and conceal what they have. Our sources estimate they far exceed the estimates in this study. When the Russian tank experts toured under the guidance of Panzer General Guderian the German tank production facilities they kept asking Guderian where were their larger tanks. Guderian had a very uncomfortable feeling that the Russians had bigger ones that they were not showing. The German tank generals Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist and Heinz Guderian were shocked in 1941 to encounter the T-34 which was far larger than the largest German tank and these generals described it as “the deadliest tank in the world.” It possessed the best firepower, mobility, protection, and ruggedness of any tank. Its 76.2 3 inch high-velocity gun was the best tank gun in the world; its heavy sloped armor was impenetrable by standard anti-tank weapons, and furthermore it was very agile. The Germans had to aim their anti-aircraft guns at the tank to stop it.
It is astonishing to see such a Russian superiority when you look at the GDPs of France, Germany, England and the United States, but none had anything of the equivalent. We find this now. It is not GDP in the end that wins wars as the Spanish Armada found out off the shore of England.
In a sense, this is the S-500 which makes the Patriot anti-missile missile look like a dated V-2 of World War Two. Nor is there a discussion of the Kornet anti-tank missile that knocked out the Merkava Tank of the IDF which was regarded then as the most formidable tank in the world, and it was a defenseless as a cavalry charge into machine gun fire. The IDF commanders told me that it made tank warfare obsolete. The Israeli INS Hanit was according to reliable sources hit by a Russian missile fired from Lebanon in July of 2006 16 kilometers offshore which passed through the most sophisticated United States jamming equipment sending shock waves through the Israeli Defense Forces and the United States Military. The implications were dire. The only way surface ships such as battleships and aircraft carriers can avoid being hit by fifty missiles launched at one time such as the Russian SS-N-27 Sizzler is by jamming their targeting mechanism for otherwise the Aegis Combat System of the Navy could be overwhelmed.
The Russian Iskander missile travels 7 times the speed of sound which has a range of 400 km, can carry a 700 kg warhead of several varieties, and has a circular error probability of around five meters. This makes it deadly to airfields, logistics points and other stationary infrastructure along a broad front of conflict. The Iskander can threaten targets deep in Europe. The entire western way of war depends on the achievement of air supremacy. Rommel says as much at Normandy that the aerial bombing smashed the best trained troops and at the battle of the Kerch Peninsula Field Marshall Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen’s air attacks inflicted casualties of up to 50% on the Soviet force, and though initially outnumbered, the then general Erich von Manstein’s Eleventh Army won a decisive victory that earned him the Field Marshall’s baton. It would be a necessity for NATO to knock out these Iskanders but they would have to face the S-400 surface to air missile which the Russians can layer in defense zones in nearly every conceivable theater of conflict. Positioning the S-400 at Kaliningrad could endanger NATO air operations deep in Europe. It would be nearly impossible for the NATO fighters to penetrate this layered screen of S-400s, and based on the astronomical cost of the NATO fighters, the loss of a single aircraft very nearly would represent a national fiscal catastrophe. We could go on and on from weapon to weapon, though the purpose of this review is not to exhaustively examine the subject but to drive the point home about the strategic weakness of the United States forces.
But this is not all. This study does not tell us anything of NATO capabilities. But we have below that they are so limited that Russia admits that they are not effective at all. President Kennedy was transfixed in fear of having to have only a threat of a nuclear attack to defend western Europe, and built up the conventional capacity so that he did not have to launch a nuclear war to defend Europe. But that is not the situation now. There even cannot be any question of a buildup of conventional capacity as the Russians have said below that they would use their tactical nuclear weapons and more to defend themselves against a conventional attack so that sending a hundreds of thousands of troops as at Normandy as is out of the question. And based on the S-400 and S-500, it is questionable if any of our ICBM or cruise missiles can get through.
The Chinese who have just completed significant economic treaties with Russia on natural gas deliveries and the sale of S-400 defensive missiles, and combined with secret protocols, creates a new alliance combining a huge portion of the Eurasian land mass. The Chinese have not been slack in their own weapons development bouncing lasers off satellites, developing missiles that can hit the satellites, silent submarines that surface beside our aircraft carriers without detection, and their own anti-missile missile that can hit a reentering satellite moving faster than any ICBM. The ability to knock out satellites would temporarily demobilize the entire ICBM arsenal and force its conversion to land control of the missile’s guidance. In the midst of a nuclear exchange, this could be disastrous. The pace of the rollout of these submarines by China and Russia far exceeds that of the United States, and since we have demonstrated that the surface fleet is obsolete as it cannot be defended, then the United States is losing the arms race in the most vital part of their Navy. The Chinese and Russian submarines can surround the west and east coasts of the United States, and their nuclear cruise missiles can turn the United States into a nuclear turkey shoot. The mobilization capacity of the Chinese Army is 100 million men under arms. If you combine that with the Russian superiority in weapons, and their ability to field probably 20 million men, the EU faces overwhelming potential forces to their east. The Zbigniew Brzezinski bluff in the Ukraine has been called, and he has created the greatest strategic blunder since we lost China in 1949. He has undid the work of Richard Nixon when he broke apart the China-Russian alliance which is why Kissinger has referred to this madness as “fatal”. The recent treaties between China and Russia can be compared to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939.
And yet we see the Baltic states and Poland and other border states as before World War Two screaming bloody murder instead of trying to get along with Russia and expecting us to launch a nuclear war that we may very well lose to defend 1.3 million people in Estonia as Britain and France went to war over the city of Danzig. And was it not Poland who at Munich participated in the retrieving their former territory from Czechoslovakia as Russia is trying to do in the Crimea and Eastern Provinces that were given to the Soviet Republic of the Ukraine by Lenin in 1919 (Eastern Provinces) and Khrushchev in 1954 (Crimea)? Who can defend the treachery of the Versailles Treaty? (It was not the Soviet or Russian intention to ever see these separated from Russia and was granted conditional on these areas being part of the Ukrainian Russia. Certainly Eastern Prussia should be also returned to Germany and Eastern Poland to Poland to undo Stalin’s treachery after the war.) Since when should we be responsible for Estonia as some sort of world policeman and lose potentially hundreds of millions of Americans over countries that 99% of the American people do not even know anything about and have no strategic significance. And why should we be paying for the defense of Europe at all when their GDP is larger than ours.
Since present United States military doctrine does not preclude preemptive strikes of nuclear weapons, and the Russians have said that they will use tactical nuclear weapons to defend Russia against a conventional attack if not more, and they have 5,000 tactical nuclear weapons to hardly any for ourselves, it means that the so-called MAD doctrine that kept the nuclear peace between the Soviet Union and the United States no longer governs. If we see now that the Russians have the superiority in strategic nuclear and defensive weapons, and they do, and they see the GDP of the United States and the EU being ten times theirs, the window of opportunity to defend themselves could disappear in ten years subjecting them to a preemptive attack. We understand that a massive deployment of the S-400 and S-500 is taking place at the present time, and it has dramatically accelerated in the last six months according to informed sources.
Once many thousands of them are deployed sufficient to block a nuclear attack by the United States, the window of opportunity of a first strike for Russia will then exist. If we interpret sanctions as an act of war as Japan did when we sanctioned all deliveries of oil to them on July 25, 1941, and it certainly was an act of war, then the Russian planners may consider themselves forced to launch a first strike to preserve the existence of their nation. If they wait, the west may develop new weapons to defend themselves, and be in a position to launch the preemptive strike themselves against Russia. The war hysteria we saw a few months ago in the United States must have set off alarm bells in Russia. Therefore, we should expect Russia to be as quiet as possible for the next six to twelve months while they deploy their missiles, and once they are in place, then we may well enter into the greatest existential crisis in the history of the west.

Time to wake up people…
Post by Kyle Keeton
Windows to Russia…
When I first came to Russia I was leery of a dessert in that was not cooked. It is called the “potato!” The potato is found in most stores that sell food in Moscow and or in the refrigerator of a babushka. Just look for the tortes section and or get to know a babushka and you will find the potato and eclairs that will make your taste buds dance…
After finding out what was in the dessert I realized that it lacked any ingredients that would make it a problem if not cooked. So I created my own recipe and I removed the cognac or brandy that most other recipes call for because I really dislike the taste of the potato when it is included…
Russian dessert cake called “Potato“. Adding any nuts and raisin will make “The Potato” taste even better. These cakes are usually rolled in breadcrumbs but many times not rolled in anything at all. The result is amazing. You will surely appreciate the taste and flavor of these cakes…
Ingredients for Russian Potato:
* 1 1/4 lbs (600 g) Use any cookie, for that matter, even chocolate chips cookies work. Butter cookies are great. Just use a cheap store bought cookie and make life easier…
* 3 tablespoons cocoa
* 50 grams raisins (or dried prunes)
* 100 grams almond (or other nut)
* 1/2 cup (150 g) butter
* 1 can condensed milk
Cooking Instructions:
1. Grind cookies, raisins and almond nuts using a meat grinder, crush in a food processor or chop in a blender…
2. In a large bowl mix and combine butter, cocoa and condensed milk…
3. Then add ground up mixture of nuts, cookies and raisins. Mix everything well. It will produce a very thick almost clay like substance. That is exactly what you want…
4. Form little bars then you may or may not roll them in crumbled bread. I do not. I do sometimes roll them in more of the ground shortening cookies though and even in cinnamon…
5. Place in a fridge for half an hour and then serve. If stored for over night cover loosely in the fridge…
Yummy!

PS: Yes you may add cognac or brandy to enhance these for your taste. A shot will do it, but maybe you need to add an extra cookie of two… 😉
These are very rich and perfect with a cup of hot tea and or coffee…
Yesterday, I was thinking to myself, “Self, I have eaten all the fruit and berries in the yard!”
Then an hour later, across the road, Nikolai comes with a huge bowl of fresh ripe yellow plums. The purple plums did not produce this year, but the yellow plums, which did not produce last year, are abundant…
I guess he heard me thinking about buying fruit and said to himself, “Self, we can not have him do that!” and over he came… 😉
Now that is a friend and, “Oh My!” They are good…

Windows to Russia…
Half of yesterday and all night, plus still trying to gather all the comments associated with Windows to Russia this morning. Over the many years that I have been blogging, WTR has had close to half a million plus comments. Most were lost during several DDoS attacks several years ago, staged by the land of the free and home of the brave. I made and filed official complaints and word came back to me years ago, “Tough @#$%!”
So I made myself learn how to counteract such attacks by the powers to be…
Thus when this last attack happened, I only lost a small percent of my data and in fact I may have reincorporated some new data back into the system. Last look at the poor gatherer of past comments, has netted me 31, 256 comments back online in the database. Now while that is a far cry from the 500,000 plus missing comments, that is a far cry better than 5000 comments that I had built up since the first of 2015. You see, over the years I have used various 3rd party comment systems and today at this moment, I am importing comments from everything I ever used. Therefore, while still a drop in the bucket, it is at least wetting the bucket bottom now…
WTR lives under a continual attack. The second I think everything is cool and they do not care anymore. Boom, WTR is smacked around, just to show that the USA government still loves me and wants me to feel that love…
So every time I read about how Russia hacked this and China attacked that on the cyber world of lies. I have to chuckle to myself and think about the hundred times that my government has tried to shut down WTR. From Blogger Blogspot and being banned, from lawsuits against certain posts and even having my American based hosting shut me down. I have learned and accepted the crap, because no one cares and no one will do anything about it…
You can think what you want, but there is a reason that they try relentlessly to shut WTR down. I know more than you accept and understand and what I talk about is hard hitting against the American way of control and submission…
If I post how wonderful Russia is I am attacked, for the fact that an American is living in a Russian Village and is happy, able to embrace the natives, goes against all the hate coming from the US government about Russia. If I tell the truth about America and tell you from what I know, then I am a terrorist and my site has to be attacked. For when someone who has seen what I have seen and done what I did for the land of the free and the home of the killers. They dislike that even more than talking good about Russia…
It would not matter what I talk about and what country I favored, They do not want me writing, for what I write is what I see and what I experience and what I have experienced. They do not like it for I am not controlled and not confined, as I bought my way out of America many years ago. That cost me an arm and a leg, to speak furtively, but truthfully, I would have given an arm and leg to get out of that prison country…
Does anyone stop and think why they attack WTR?
Maybe I am saying something that is just plain truth!
I say things like, “The world is a wonderful place, it is full of caring and beautiful people. These people just want to live and let live, but many and I mean hundreds of millions of these caring people are threatened with their lives everyday, by a country that spouts democracy, freedom and liberty as its calling insignia. We Americans/Westerns, be us from Canada, USA, Australia, Britain and a dozen other countries, are indifferent to the death and destruction that we support, either by our inaction or lack of empathy toward our fellow citizens on this planet. There is enough resources for everyone on this planet to live comfortable and healthily, but a we sit in our ivory towers and look out over the vast empire of death, sprawling like an octopus encompassing the globe. We eat our croissant and drink our Starbucks and express our wishes for the next conquest, be it terrorism, war on drugs, brown people, black people and our evil empires; such as Russia and China. Yet, all that we (west) expound on against the world, is nothing but a coverup for our own indiscretions against the planet we call Earth…” – kKEETON at WTR…
Want to hear something that makes no sense?
I will be attacked for stating the obvious to the world, but it is not obvious to Americans. I use to do it also, “They hate us for our freedoms! We are number ONE! Rock on Democracy! Make the world a better place!”
No! Sorry, they hate us because we try to steal their freedoms, liberties and democracies and replace them with a canned version of the USA, in a store bought dictatorship from Washington, DC…
Just look at Ukraine!

Comments came under a huge attack from a site based in Washington DC!
Cool, because it gave me an excuse to shut down the old and install a third party system and now it is on automatic. I have much better things to do than to spend hours trying to hold off attacks by zealous USA governmental issues…
I saved almost 5000 comments and they are importing into the new system as I wrote this…

I talked about how Sveta a month or more ago, wanted to learn to ride horses. Well she found a place nearby our home in Moscow and she rode for the first time since a little girl on a horse. She loves horses and I see a future in the village of raising and breeding horses…
I encourage Sveta to do anything and everything she desires…
Yes that is my girl on that huge horse and she is one happy girl…

About a week ago, Vova went on a date! With a woman! Yes an actual date…
It was set up by his friends and family. Vova had no idea they were doing such a thing, but I saw it coming and Vova was invited into a bigger village, where some of his family lives and since he thought that he was going to drink and party with family, he took the bus. Remember do not drink and drive…
I found Vova the next morning as I was going to the Big Village to do some shopping, staggering up the hill to his home. He was drunk, but happy…
So happy that he tried to tell me what happened, but he was slurring his words too much from being inebriated. But I got the jest and Vova was in love. Now I will not explain all that he said, but lets just say, she likes to kiss and he is happy with her curves and she is rich…
I let him go home to sleep it off and later after he sobered up, he came down and we sat and talked. Or I should say, Vova talked and I listened. An hour later he went home to sleep some more, but he had to tell someone about his girl and that he did many times and I was so happy to listen to him and see the smiles on his face…
With my poor command of the Russian language, everyone including Sveta sometimes wonder how I am able to communicate with Vova (Vova has a rough form of Russian to understand. Deep and guttural at times!) I told Sveta what was happening with Vova and she believes me, but is not positive that I understand all that is happening. Well Vova talked to Sveta and she found out that I know what Vova is saying. Vova and I have a connection and even in the most difficult issues of language, we can communicate and understand what is going on. We are guys and understand each other…
Sveta said that I was right, Vova is in love and wants to get married!
I said, “Vova slow down!”
I wish him the best, but I worry he will get hurt, for it has been a long time since a woman has looked at him as being worthy of glancing at. He is just a small village boy, with very little money… 😐
Vova is in love and this is how you can tell; Vova went fishing last night, he is catching fresh fish for his new love. He is going to take it to her today and present fresh caught fish, by a mighty warrior, named Vova…
I hope she does not hurt Vova, for he is a good guy and my buddy. He has been hurt in the past by women and he told me, never again. Well until the next one comes along. We will wait and see, for he lives with his heart on his sleeve…
Vova dreams of a better world for all and right now his world is perfect. That makes it all good…
Vova was serious last night, before he went fishing. First he said, he had collected 14 liters of honey from his beehives and 12 liters from a wild bee hive! 26 liters of honey in all, now that is some serious money honey. Second he said, that I was his bestes buddy and never worry about a woman getting in the way of him and I! 😉
If he had said only not to worry and nothing else, I would ignore him, but when he used it in conjunction with something as important to Russians as honey is. Then I knew he was serious, for Russians take honey serious, I mean serious…
But Vova is in love and we shall see what comes and goes…

Windows to Russia…
I have been busy the last few days and now it is time to rest. The temperature is getting hot for a few days and nothing better than resting when it is too warm to work hard. I have been painting the trim on the house and all my buddies have given their opinion and thumbs up on the way the place is looking. I also have painted anything that can rust and one thing I painted is my two wheeler and the wheelbarrow has been painted also. The ladder was made by Sveta’s Father in-law many many years ago. I strengthened it and use it all the time. It is a great ladder. I also could not resist taking a snap shot of the swallows all over our power lines. They also filled our trees up and had a regular pow wow before they started their day to catch bugs…
They are good birds… 🙂

This morning as I sip a cup of coffee, we have not walked yet. It is not my fault that it is 6:30 a.m. and we still have not walked. Boza does not like the rain and he refuses to go out, well actually I gave him a choice and he politely ran back under the bed. He stuck his nose out the door and looked at me and I said yes or no? He said no…
But nature calls and after this post, we will go and walk in the rain…
Boza and I walked with the camera yesterday and gathered a few images. I decided to post a few here and you can see what Boza and I saw…
Boza found a friend first thing as we walked up the hill, whereas Boza was happy, happy, happy, his friend was hiss, hiss, hiss, so they did not party and hug each other. But as you see in the next Boza image, Boza was happy…
Everywhere are the Mountain Ash trees. The forests are full of them and the Russians do not use them for anything. They grow wild and are considered bad. I realize that there are several types of these trees, so I use the judgment of the locals and leave them alone. These seem to be extra poisonous, but back home in the Ozarks, we made jellies and jams from them…
A grumble issue of mine is the fact that we only have two working cisterns and I have found five total available in the village. One is legend to be poisoned by a disputing family/locals issue, another is buried deep in no mans land, the one shown is not working and that leaves two that still are able to be filled, most of the time…
The cisterns are a source of issues many times, as city people steal water from ours to wash their cars and many other such stupid things, as filling their kids inflatable swimming pools. 🙁 They emptied theirs up top the hill and then steal our water. I wash my car at the river, so can they and their kids can swim in the river or the lake for that matter… (I am just a grouchy bear!)
They are digging out the walls of the monastery, or at least the walls that they can still find. The wall use to go all the way around the whole monastery…
I snapped a image of a small bee that would not leave me alone. He sat on my camera as I took pictures, then flew hovering right in front of my lens. I finally snapped an image and then he left. Just like that, he left after I took his picture, “What a Ham!”
The as Boza and I walked down the hill from the tower, we saw Sasha wandering around and Olga, coming up the hill to help with an injured man at his home. She is an old lady and her daughter is way up the hill waiting and yelling at her! Some people are clueless about life. More power to Olga…
The last image is a place that I want to play. I would have when little and this image holds many memories of what I ran around as a little tyke. Everyone should have a small work barn to play around. Young or old, my grandpa and I had one…
Well that is it for today. Boza has to walk and I have to walk, even if it is raining…
Have a nice day…
