Ho ho, those crazy Russians, hey :D Video: Russia’s Rosatom Releases New Footage of Tsar Bomba, World’s Most Powerful Nuclear Bomb https://sputniknews.com/russia/202008241080266347-video-russias-rosatom-rele... ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbC7BxXtOlo ... To give an idea of this bomb’s power, consider that the United States’ most powerful bomb, the Castle Bravo test in 1952, was at most 22 megatons, and the bomb that destroyed the Japanese city of Hiroshima in 1945 was just 16 kilotons - in other words, Tsar Bomba was about 1,325 times stronger. Its incredible power came from nuclear fusion, the same energy-producing reaction that powers the sun. ... No more vodka for YOU-ski - at least not while testing these puppies :D Speaking of vodka and Russians, very positive signs in the direction of health and happiness: No more vodka for young Russians https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/328905-no-vodka-young-russians [Totally non-skanky pic of 2 young lasses not attached.] Russians are gradually losing one of their most famous characteristics: They’ve stopped drinking! Vodka and the average Russian used to be the closest of friends, but in recent years they’ve gone different ways. "It has already been two weeks since the start of my grand reality show/social experiment: 30 days without alcohol,” says 28-year-old YouTuber Yuri Khovansky into his webcam. “Two weeks ago I stopped drinking.” Khovansky enjoys a certain scandalous popularity and has a reputation for being a heavy drinker with a glass of beer in his hand at all times. Nearly 3.5 million subscribers watched his experiment in going sober. "First of all, sh**t, guys, these haves been the two fullest weeks of my life!" Khovansky begins his story about going without alcohol. Back then he did not know that he would end up staying sober for 90 days—three times longer than he had initially planned. Statistics Judging by the existing research, these days Russia as a whole consumes almost 80 percent less alcohol than it did five to seven years ago. ... Alcohol consumption in Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_consumption_in_Russia According to a 2011 report by the World Health Organization, annual per capita consumption of alcohol in Russia was about 15.76 litres, the fourth-highest volume in Europe. It has dropped to less than 10 litres as of 2019.[1] Vodka no longer in top 50 items sold in Russian alcohol stores – time to retire tired & outdated Russian drinking stereotypes? 18 Aug, 2020 19:38 https://www.rt.com/russia/498339-vodka-popularity-russian-shops/ In the first seven months of 2020, Russians were less likely to buy vodka, preferring to purchase other drinks - primarily beer - in alcohol stores, according to the analytical department of cashback company CheckScan. By studying 130,000 receipts from two of Russia’s most popular liquor chains, ‘Krasnoe & Beloe’ and ‘Bristol’, the analysts discovered that Russians have turned towards beer as their beverage of choice. From January to July, the golden brew took the top spot in alcoholic rankings every single month, with the old Soviet-era staple, vodka, failing to even make the top 50. We are now a long way from 1980s and 1990s stereotypes about drunken Russian guzzling down the traditional hard liquor. Today, Russians drink less alcohol than Germans and the emerge of a cafe and pub culture has changed social habits, especially with craft beer becoming increasingly fashionable. Perhaps unsurprisingly, medical masks became the most popular item bought for 2020, selling at a faster rate than all alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. ...

From "explosive" reports (yeah, yeah...) just now see below, to spies purportedly running around with nerve-poison spray bottles (Novichok and the Skripal hoax), to entire legislative regimes built on the back of lies, theft and murder (the Magnitsky Act), the UK's Ministry of Truth and their lackeys in the cucked and compromised ABC of Australia are hard at work blaming Russians for everything in sight.
Russians have supposedly 'not only come to town, they've meddled their way to total domination of all of the West' and "must therefore be" the cause of all our ills and our imminent demise, which is of course all so farcical it could never be used even for a B-rated movie plot, yet we continue to be fed this shit week after week, year after year!
This is all so, so pathetic. Western "leaders", that is, any and all politicians who are compromised, ought step down immediately, for the possible redemption of their own Souls.
The latest circus show culminating in the last few days is the UK's own demon rats casting endless aspersions against "RUSSIA!!!" (I know, I know, "how truly original") - just check out this 'funny' headline (funny if it weren't so shitty for our relationship with our Russian brothers):
While Britain looked for terrorists under the bed, Russia took over the house Posted Yesterday at 3:28am, updated Yesterday at 10:42am 2020-07-23 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-23/uk-counterintelligence-focus-on-terro... A new report exposes how Russian spies infiltrated the UK

Long-awaited Russia report says UK Government failed to investigate Kremlin interference in Brexit https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-21/uk-releases-report-into-russian-polit...
You know, what's most pathetic is the West's eternal "need" to blame someone, in almost all cases Putin, or Russia, or Putin's Russia, often times "the Putin regime", and occasionally also "the Russian regime under Putin", or often enough some combination of these.
And what's most irritating about this latest bunch o' bullshit from the Ministry's spin rats in the UK in the above "explosive report" and endless droning "Putin dunnit" articles, is that the UK is perhaps the world's largest money laundering capital, whilst proclaiming to wear a halo (!):
Dirty money or dirty politics? UK hypocrisy over ‘Russian oligarchs’ https://www.rt.com/op-ed/424471-oligarchs-uk-russian-money/ According to Russia’s Prosecutor General, 61 criminals who stole up to $10 billion in Russia are enjoying life in the UK. Britain claims to be concerned about ‘dirty money,’ but has rejected requests from Moscow for extradition. It was the financial heist of the century. The looting of Soviet Russia’s wealth by a group of well-connected oligarchs in the 1990s enriched a tiny few, but impoverished vast swathes of the country’s population. The foundations for this massive, reverse-Robin-Hood redistribution of wealth were laid with Gorbachev’s ‘restructuring’ economic reforms of the late 80s. However, the process reached its peak under Boris Yeltsin.

Lé Mérchánt is Lé very Lé Háppí of course. Ahh, the wicked webs we weave in the wicked web weaving Western web weaver's wick.
It really is sad, and so we continue with our "one step forward, nine tenths of a step back" reality for the time being.
The nihilist "freedom from some external evil" is so, so tiresome. The desperate "Western" yearning for evil regimes to oppose, which are so dastardly (supposedly Putin), so malevolent towards "our values" (supposedly Russia and her family friendly approach to advertising), so irredeemably black and nefarious that they just might begin to make us Westerners look 'OK', possibly may be acceptable to ourselves 'in comparison'.
Western "leaders" push out forced smiles and strained cackles of "muh human rights" as though they actually know something about what human rights actually are …

For some reason, American military personnel always seem to be looking for "more action", actually I mean "more paperwork". HA!
US wingman to pilot: "Do NOT look directly up!"
US pilot looks directly up: "OHH, SHEEIT!"
US Wingman: "More f#@kin paperwork!"
Russkies Go Wild, inverted in fact. Literally inverted, dancing the midday clouds. Yeah, baby! :D
Gringos gettin' "really quite frustrated" and the Pentagon "blasted" the Russian show-off "Red menace's" for "activity", apparently activity in the skies of the Mediterranean sea :D
[suitable pics in original article, not attached]
On this particular occasion, the Russian pilot considered sharing his 4 litre "8 shots" vodka bottle with the Americans, but figured the wind force on his airplane canopy might make it hard to hold that canopy open - at 900 km per hour. Also, passing a vodka bottle between jet planes whilst inverted may have caused some of the vodka to spill, which was an intolerable likelihood. Apparently.

.. “The U.S. aircraft was operating consistent with international law and did not provoke this Russian activity,” the statement added. ..
Yeah, yeah, fill in your paperwork already :) :)
