Windows to Russia

Written by Ron Paul

President Obama announced last week that he was imposing yet another round of sanctions on Russia, this time targeting financial, arms, and energy sectors. The European Union, as it has done each time, quickly followed suit.

These sanctions will not produce the results Washington demands, but they will hurt the economies of the US and EU, as well as Russia.

These sanctions are, according to the Obama administration, punishment for what it claims is Russia’s role in the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, and for what the president claims is Russia’s continued arming of separatists in eastern Ukraine. Neither of these reasons makes much sense because neither case has been proven. (more…)

It will be interesting to watch how long it takes to fix the transformer in the village. I have posted about this monstrous looking device in the past. Well last night it started to buzz real loud and then two hours later, kaput, out went the lights… (more…)

Poroshenko the Ukraine Chocolate baby president of Ukraine is throwing a child like fit, he looks like real democratic president and he is acting like a real democratic president. Ukraine has waiting so long for democracy and now Ukraine has democracy, U.S. style! (Called shove it down your throat and let you die choking.) (more…)

The new rules for blogging in Russia missed me. I have the traffic, but I write in English only and target an English audience. I also do not have any issues with compliance and will most likely check on if it is better to sign up or not, for mass media? (more…)

Have to give the Monastery credit, they are serious about working on the place and it looks like they are getting ready to roof the old cafeteria office building. It is fantastic inside and has an all brick curved roof, which if not fixed now, will collapse and I think that is the motivation… (more…)

I have no doubt that Russia while being hurt by sanctions for a short time will survive, because she has been switching directions for years now. Russia has been, for as long as I have been writing about them, looking east, while at the same time letting the west slip into obscurity in an orderly fashion. This is the same that China has been doing also… (more…)

“We have since worked with a broad coalition of Jewish and non-Jewish groups as well as with United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) to support legislative and regulatory actions requiring divestment from companies that do business with Iran, as well other sanctions. ‘Florida has been a leader in adopting strong measures to isolate the Iranian regime in the areas of procurement, divestment and banking. We encourage local communities across the U.S to join Florida to pass similar measures” said Tara Laxer, Florida Director of United Against a Nuclear Iran.’ Greater Miami Jewish Federation

They are young and they are beautiful…

The other day I drove into the big village and bought some gayka, shayba and bolts (nuts, washers and bolts) and I decided to turn into a side farm road and check out the yellow girls dancing in the fields. They were beautiful and still have some growing up to do, before us mere humans eat the fruits of their labor… (more…)

Yes the people and every time the west imposes more sanctions, the people pull closer together and more congealed against the west. A sanction to a Russian is not the same as a sanction to an American and you sanction Putin, you have sanction the people. You sanction the businesses, you sanction the people etc etc etc. There is no such thing as targeted sanctions, because one is all and all is one…

Russians literally never borrow money from a bank and Russians despise banks. So targeting a Russian bank only hurts the western companies trying to do business in Russia. If you told a Russian that he could never borrow money again. He would look at you like you are from mars or something like that. The thought of buying a car or home on credit is reserved for the small percent of the population in Russia that is either “rich” or “stupid.” Everyone in between pays cash and nothing but cash and or the equivalent such as resources… (more…)
