Great eye opening links.

Between Putin demanding the US remove sanctions against two of his dummy companies - caught selling sensitive technology to the terrorist exporting Iranian Mullah régime, to yet another underhanded move by the Energy Czar to further sink the US Dollar, tyrant Putin and his KGB henchmen have started off the week in a very typical Moscow manner.

Quoting from the link: Dollar weakens as Russia is set to add yen reserves

"The dollar fell after Alexei Ulyukayev, the Russian central bank's first deputy chairman, told the news agency Interfax that the bank might increase holdings of yen from almost zero percent. Russia's reserves, the world's third largest after China's and Japan's, have swelled about 50 percent this year to $267.9 billion as oil prices surged.

"The move could lead toward broader U.S. dollar weakness," said Mark Meadows, a strategist at the currency-trading company Tempus Consulting in Washington."

Putin is soooo good to US....

Israeli soldiers.
Russian spies.==

BHAHAHA!:))) It is really funny! Such nice bias!:))

Once in WW2 the radiostation of one country reported: "The damn enemy treacherously shot down our plane which peacefully bombed thier town". That was the bias likewise yours:)).

Going into a neighboring country and capturing their soldiers is not the same as a country arresting foreigners spying while in that country.==

Just what if some country in which USA has the military base will arrest 4 american officers say captains or leutanats then acussed them with spying and throw them to thir zindan.
I predict the very sharp reaction from USA maybe rescue mission or something.

Because the capture of one country the military personel of another country were always the act of war.

Watch the video.==

It is all good. But tell me what if Akhazians and Oseetians do not wnat Georgian progress on them? They will defend themselves with weapons.
They already did it once when in 1992 Georgians started the ethnic wars on them.
Now you propose the new wars?

Why on earth would the Abkhaz choose Russia over Georgia?
I know they lean that direction, but it seems incredible to me to make sure a choice.

But you got to remember that there is more U.S dollars in circulation in the ex-Soviet states than there is in the U.S. I don't think it would be a wise move to play monopoly with the U.S.dollar.
On a visit to the Ukraine when shopping in Kiev I could get a 25% discount against the hryvnia marked price at most stores when paying in dollar bills. I also remember seeing long queues of hundreds of people in Moscow at money changing machines, this was when the U.S. changed the series of the dollar bills, these machines ( I believe the only ones in the world )only changed old series notes for new ones.

It is all about wine, if Georgia stopped exporting, the "Russian Ruling Classes" would have to drink chemical wine (French)
Georgia, home of the best red wine in the world.

I am drinking some right now!! What a coincidence. Muzakani, I think it is called, a dry red.

But yes, I agree. I tasted it first in Georgia in the church and was amazed at how wonderful it is.

Buy Georgian wine! They need our support to stay afloat.

It is simple. Because in 1992 Georgians started the ethnic war with Akhazies. They killed and maimed thousands of Akhazies. This blood isn't being forgotten today.
Akhazies returned in kind and expelled all Georgians (and killed many of them too) but always those are guilty who started the war in first place.

DO you conviniently forget the recent history? 1992 isn't far back. I don't speak about more longer history at all. For example about Stalin attached Akhazia to Georgia by tyranical dictate.
It is strange when Georgians comdemns soviet dictatorship but support soviet dictator established borders, isn't it?

Russia banned the "fecal mass" instead of wine. Georgian minister Okurashvilli admitted that the quality of those liquid which they exported to Russia is beneath contempt.

When Georgia will ready to export the quality product then Russian will accept it.
