Sad to see, but not surprising.

A real shame that the Russians didn’t follow the example of the Japanese after WWII.

That nation was destroyed, bombed into oblivion, yet Japan was able to rise again to become the premier producer of the highest quality manufacturing in the world.

Immediately after WWII this was not the case, since, at that time, all that came from Japan was “Japanese Junk”.

Fast forward just a few years later and we then see Japan dominating the world in a much better way, by giving the world things that make life better: from extremely high quality optics to audio/visual and computer electronics to home appliances to world beating motorcycles and automobiles, etc., etc.

The Japanese have become extremely good at making high quality things that make life better, so why can’t Russia do this? The Russians, much more so than Japan, have all they need!

Russia is a country with vast natural resources. They are incredibly blessed with raw materials, along with a highly educated and skilled population, yet all Russia is known for in our times is vodka, dominating its citizens and threatening its neighbors.

Wtf, over?

Do you think you’d register in triple digits on an IQ test? I’d bet good money you couldn’t.

Japan has long had a unified culture that has long prided itself on perfection, beauty and honor among other virtues.

Russia has long had a mixed culture that seems to pride itself on suffering, pointless deaths, corruption, theft, and bribery.

Russia cannot and never will never be Japan, or even China, for that matter.

>Don’t know about you, but our power bill has increased nearly three times what it was before Biden and his war on Russia in our name.

I foresee people foregoing other bills to keep warm this Winter in the States.<

American Citizens are of no concern to zeepers.

They don’t care if we can’t buy food, gas, clothes, etc.

Their sole concern is fueling the Zelensky/Biden Money Laundering Operation.

What I find interesting is that whenever this happens, ruzzia opens a criminal investigation.

Stupidity Is Rampant At Foreign Affairs When It Comes To Ukraine

Let me repeat for the learning disabled in the U.S. National Security community — Putin has two objectives. First, demilitarize Ukraine. That is taking place through attrition and, as an unexpected benefit, he also is demilitarizing NATO, who is unable to produce air defense missiles and artillery shells that Ukraine would need to mount a credible defense. Second, de-nazify Ukraine. Putin and his Generals are not going to stop until the filth of Nazi scum prevalent in Ukrainian ranks are wiped away. Real clear. Real simple. Don’t make this more complicated than it is.

This is the problem. The so-called foreign policy experts that populate think tanks and Congressional committees in Washington, DC do not know a damn thing about Russia. They are obsessed with a 1980s vision of Russia and are refusing to take a fresh look at Russia as a nation, as an industrial power and as a legitimate military force. These dummies do not realize that if Putin suddenly disappears that Russia is not going to crumple into a fetal position and beg for the West to love it. Ain’t going to happen. Russia understands one thing that the United States does not — it will defend the motherland at any cost. Russians are proud of their country and its history. It has rejected the legacy of the Soviet era and embraced Orthodox Christianity. The United States? Its borders are being flooded with a tsunami of migrants, its major cities are filled with homeless drug addicts and crime, its politicians are busy enriching themselves at the expense of their countrymen and the government is promoting and protecting sexual deviance.

Russians, unlike Americans, understand science and know that men cannot have babies and that women cannot grow a penis. It is this grasp on reality that gives Russia the confidence that it will prevail in preventing the West from turning Ukraine into Jeffrey Epstein land.

“Germans are just going to be F”

Reminds me a year ago, when RuZZian Boys were on FR saying Europeans were going to be ‘cold, dark and hungry’. Rioting in the streets...

Yep, never happened.

“Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is stepping up his personal efforts to secure a deal on border reform and aid for Ukraine and Israel, which colleagues are characterizing as a major test of his leadership.

McConnell is the leading GOP advocate for supporting Ukraine and is under increased pressure with Ukraine’s troops running low on ammunition and weapons.

He’s tasked Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) with leading border talks with the Biden administration and Senate Democrats but is stepping up his own involvement.

The GOP leader reminded colleagues at a closed-door lunch meeting Tuesday not to lose sight of the nation’s pressing national security challenges presented by Russia, Iran and China.

“I think he has stepped it up. I think he was really trying to give James Lankford enough room to run to pull together a deal,” said one Republican senator who requested anonymity to explain why McConnell initially kept his distance from the negotiations before getting more involved in recent weeks.

“For a while, talks were not progressing like people had hoped, and I think now we’re back and we’re so, so close — tantalizingly close — to being able to lock down a deal,” the lawmaker added. “

Isn’t it amusing to see them memory hole and air brush history? It’s no wonder they have an affinity for a mass murdering Russian chauvinist like Dear Leader Vlad. Birds of a feather....

It happened on Russian TV. They showed starving Germans eating their pets in freezing apartments. In Russian propaganda, it really happened, and that's reality for Russians.

What's happening now in Moscow is NOT really happening, since it's not on TV. And the SMO is going according to plan.

I am not saying Russia should be or could be a Japan. But why, for all the natural advantages it has, does Russia choose the path that offers nothing to the world and makes its neighbors appear as enemies to be assimilated?

I think they, like Japan, became a living example of the religion they follow. Japan chose to make quality their national religion and then have made the world a much better place. It’s too bad and so sad that, when it came to religion, Russia chose … poorly.

The marxist stuff that seduced them back in 1917 is Satan’s religion, and that poison killed them dead, along with all around them, too. It’s spirit killing stuff and they got hooked on it.

And now, in this time of testing, I sure hope they don’t fall off the wagon entirely and go back to their old habits again. Their house got swept clean when the walls fell, but a demon always come back and usually brings friends along, too.

Fwiw, it’s the same here, also. Just look at what’s happening to us/US in our house. Our house is full of all sorts of demons now(!) and I truly hope we can pass our tests, too.

One country has a positive culture, the other does not.

Its all about the country’s culture, not is natural resources, or population numbers, or educational system.

Kremlin snuff box
https://t.me/s/kremlin_secrets

What should residents of freezing houses in the Moscow region do?

Alas, problems with heating and electricity in the regional cities closest to Moscow continue. Governor Vorobyov’s team failed to resolve the issue as planned - until the end of last week. Residents of many houses have no choice but to record video messages to the president.

We must state that appeals work. Perhaps not all, but those houses whose residents recorded videos received additional help from local authorities. In this way, both the city authorities and Governor Vorobyov’s team are trying to stem the wave of negativity.

So that by the time the president finds out about a communal disaster in a particular house, the problem has already been solved and it is possible to report that there are no serious incidents.

Unfortunately, we can say that the consequences of breaks in heating mains and lack of heating in houses for several days (and in some up to a week) will be serious.

Governor Vorobyov is already preparing an appeal to the government with a request to allocate a significant amount from the budget for repairs and compensation to residents of damaged houses. Sources close to him half-jokingly say that the real consequences will not be known until April, when it gets warmer.

Vorobyov, by the way, is trying with all his might to hold on to his post. Sometimes using extremely strange methods. One of our sources hinted that it was Vorobiev who led journalists to the connection of the owners of the Klimovsky specialized cartridge plant directly with the president.

Due to poor management and an accident at the plant, more than 20 thousand residents of Podolsk were left without heating. As the media found out (with the help of Vorobyov), the cartridge factory was owned by FSB Colonel Igor Kushnikov and former presidential security guard Igor Rudyka. Both are currently abroad.

With such a leak, Vorobyov tried to distance himself from the problem, saying that it was not his fault, but “up there.” According to rumors, Sergei Shoigu, who has recently made many enemies in the Kremlin , advised Vorobyov to “turn the tables” on President Vorobyov .

In general, sources hint that if you or your relatives still do not have heating or you plan to receive compensation from the authorities, then recording a video message is not the worst way to do this.

It is best to do this together with your neighbors, so that the authorities can see that there is a problem, and this is not an isolated case. In general, we believe that the problem will soon be solved and both heating and electricity will return to the homes of residents of the Moscow region.


Kremlin snuff box

The Kremlin decided what to do with the culprits of communal emergencies in the regions

It is no secret that the communal problems that began in the new year in Moscow and the Moscow region have expanded to new regions. Omsk, Novosibirsk, Rostov and a number of other regions are suffering due to the lack of light and breaks in heating mains.

If initially the authorities thought to punish the responsible persons from Podolsk near Moscow, it is now obvious that the bench of the guilty is expanding every day.

It will not be possible to fire or imprison everyone - the rating damage to the authorities before the presidential election is too great. However, it is possible that several officials will be fired or even arrested.

By the time of publication, the following decision had been made: to eliminate the consequences of accidents as soon as possible and to pay compensation to residents if their homes were damaged.

Payments will be borne by the regional budget, they will depend, among other things, on the affected region.

Obviously, there may be attempts locally to leave residents without compensation. In this regard, we have already written that the working mechanism will be appeals to the president .

In media terms, the authorities decided to suppress the problem and minimize its presence on television. The emphasis will be on Vladimir Vladimirovich’s trips, the problems of Europe, solving the egg crisis, and victories at the fronts.

It turns out that the public utilities sector has been pushed to the brink, but no one is to blame?

News Flash! As American infrastructure crumbles, this has happened all over the US, from Cleveland, NYC, Detroit, and more.

Streets collapsing due to leaking water pipes is a worldwide problem. So much so, that a study, “Failure of street pavements resulting from underground water pipeline breaks” was undertaken in 2014.
