So I'm watching the "60 minutes" today, and Russians look bewildered ( or rather the host of the program is.)
So apparently looking at the skyrocketing number of deaths in US from Covid, the US government finds nothing better than to point finger in Russian direction and to say "No, we don't have the highest number of deaths in the US, it's just Russia is "at it" again and doesn't tell the truth how many people are dying there."
And it offers ( listen to that,) quarter of million $$ grant to anyone who is willing to prove it.

Don't believe me?

Here it is - I checked.

So the host of the program ( genuinely bewildered) is asking "What do people somewhere in Colorado care how many Russians died from Covid? What good does it do for them?"


Good question.
WTH.

This is Belorusskaya metro station.

I was sure I was there before. That station is where you catch the train to Smolenck, Minck and points west.
I also wandered the area for about 2 hours once looking for the office of a logistics company. No one had any idea where it was. I finally talked to an old man in a cobbler shop who took me to the place. Just a door with no sign or number that I had walked by several times. My first experience with the Russian address system.

btw, does anyone remember landing on the Moon?
Did you really watch it live on TV and worry?
Do you remember how your day was at that moment?

I only remember a few things. I was really young then and from 1972 until 1980 there was no " idiot box" allowed in the home. It was a big thing in school.

Just days after Russian air defenses were destroyed by Ukrainian/Turkish drones in Libya, Russian forces have been evacuated from the Tripolia area of Libya where they have been supporting a siege against the Libyan capital. Seems the UN backed government has been winning ground lately since they picked the right side to help them.

I hope they got their dumb Migs out of there too. They painted over their insignia so they should be shot down on sight. Otherwise Libyans should be prepared for a bombing run on their hospitals.

As a side note I may be as anti-russia as Hitler but it's also true America supports terrorists which makes them far from saints, example: Very disturbing and also +21 I just watched a video of terrorists in Cameron who gun down mothers with their children, and the worst: The US government confirmed they're ok with the government of Cameron.



If someone wants the video just google it or dm me but it's too grotesque to put it like this on internet forum open to everyone.

Got a good source for what is going on there? Not a lot of time to look into it.

You do realize those MIGs could have come from many countries don't you DKM? The pics I just looked at are pretty ambiguous too.
