Finland joins NATO; now what Russia?

It is more fun criticizing

Many say that this event (+ Sweden) checkmates Russia's ambition. Finland's border with Russia  is 800 miles long.  Its a long one.  But it is so close to St Petersburg and Stalingrad.   And USSR access to the Baltic sea will be severely limited.   Finaldnd can threaten USSR.

In the past USSR under Stalin made pre emptive incursions into Finland and lost territories.  But Finland despite maintaining neutrality, has built its defenses and continued conscription of male population into its reserve post.   Finland failed to neutralize Russia when it joined forces with Sweden.

Finland decided to join NATO when USSR invaded Ukraine.    

What will happen to balance of power in Western Europe/Russia.   It is in stalemate with Ukraine.  Putin lost out in Middle East with fall of Syria.  This has considerably weakened Russa   And now Finland joining NATO?  And to think that Russia's economy too has faltered, and armaments greatly diminished by war in Ukraine.  Military ranks too decimated.   Can it continue sable rattling....

Russia's Pres. Putin worth $200 billion? How?

It is more fun criticizing It is surprising that he is one of the world's richest. He should not put the world at risk. He should be happy with his wealth.

Blood rain, which is often attributed to the Bible, may be unreal but several incidents in modern times were reported:  one in Baghdad in 2004, and lately in Sri Lanka in 2012

Several theories were advanced to be the causes:

1.  Pollution (not very likely)
2.  Sand storms (none in Sri Lanka)
3. Tornado picking up iron particles (which are reddish from watefalls)
4.  ET
5.  The troublesome trachelomonas algae

presence of a unicellular micro-organism belonging to Kingdom Protista, of the Phylum Euglenozoa, known as Trachelomonas. Trachelomonas was the main cause of reddish downpours in other regions of the world as well.

Do the guys in Manila and the oligarchs understand what Pres DU30 is trying to do?

Do the guys, the leaders in Manila the seat of power understand what the President from Mindanao is trying to do.  Many of the things do not seem to rhyme.   He attacks US, he sides with China, then reverses himself and pushes through with the deal, sides with the Reds and then allow Marcos burial?

Well, the Pres who very much politically adroit as all politicians should, believe that politics should be addition and as much as possible would like to bring all sectors of the govt, the left the right, the center to be together.  He sides with the police wooes them, he visits the military in their camps, breaks protocol and allows Misuari to speak at the Pres. podium.   He is practicing inclusiveness to the hilt.

At the international scene:

1.  He is trying defuse tension between China and PHL (he knows that in case of a shooting war, we cant defend ourselves let alone US defend us -  US is heavily indebted to China and very much dependent on China for its supplies

2.  He tries to attend international conferences and try to get economic alliances to bring in more investments and export opportunities which were not available or visible  when we continued to be under the wings of US.  How much trade did we gain from China visit and conversation with Russian Pres. V Putin.  

There is some coherence in his actions and not crazy as some think

It is not true that the Pres is only drug focused from the above.

Do you agree with this Putin's speech referring to Muslim minority/migrants? Simple yet powerful solution

How Russia deals with Muslim immigrants

Read previous article on absence of Muslim problem in Japan

Pres Vladimir Putin was alleged to have said this before Duma (Russian Parliament):

On February 04, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma, (Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia : 

"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Sharia Law, and live the life of Muslims then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need Muslim minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We will not tolerate disrespect of our Russian culture. We had better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Muslims are taking over those countries and they will not take over Russia. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of culture or the primitive ways of Sharia Law and Muslims. When this honorable legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the Russian national interest first, observing that the Muslim minorities are not Russians. 

The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a five minute standing ovation.

Do you think he is correct in dealing with this problem?
Counter jihad is proposing such a solution:  banning mosques, banning Sharia law.  Japan even bans importation of Quran in Arabic.  We need to be patriotic. In the Phil, I think it is ok for Muslims to have their own country in Mindanao, secede and forever remove Muslims in Luzon and Mindanao.  And implement what Japan has decreed for Muslims. That is the only way we can avoid trouble with Islam Exremists.  They should have visa when they visit Visayas and Luzon.
