I wonder if Trump will turn up somewhere suggesting that Russia should be readmitted to the Olympics...

 

I'm a bit surprised the quality of their scientists and doctors couldn't do a better job of masking PEDs (performance enhancing drugs).

It might be less to do with the quality of the drug, and more to do with stupidity of the cheats and liars, getting caught.

Imagine if Trump was really a genius, he'd be getting away with everything and no one would know....

Stupid people, I can spot 'em a mile away...

I know this is the anti-Trump's version of all the Cav bullshit, but it does raise questions about ::  

Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov visit to the White House last Tuesday.   Lavrov may have ordered Trump to *remove immediately*  three Russian ‘companies’ connected with Evil Corp cyber ops; and they’re now stricken from the recently imposed list of sanctioned Russian entities.

Bye bye Microsoft in Russia...

Russia bans sale of gadgets without Russian-made software

Russia has passed a law banning the sale of certain devices that are not pre-installed with Russian software.

The law will come into force in July 2020 and cover smartphones, computers and smart televisions.

Proponents of the legislation say it is aimed at promoting Russian technology and making it easier for people in the country to use the gadgets they buy.

But there are concerns about surveillance and fears that firms could pull out of the Russian market.

The law will not mean devices from other countries cannot be sold with their normal software - but Russian "alternatives" will also have to be installed.

The legislation was passed by Russia's lower house of parliament on Thursday. A complete list of the gadgets affected and the Russian-made software that needs to be pre-installed will be determined by the government...

Russia’s Infamous Troll Farm Is Back — and Sh*tting the Bed

Despite their fearsome reputation after meddling in the 2016 election, a Russian “online army” is floundering mightily in its attempts to whip up support for Vladimir Putin’s latest war...

Yet it's in Ukraine.

 

Ukraine was the home for many dodgy scams as well.

 

I'm thinking not all is clear in love or war

President Putin of Russia spoke to the crowd at a military event these days praising Russia´s  incredibly modern and deadly weapons. He would graciously be prepared to sell them to all his friends who had shown " unfaltering masculinity "  towards their rivals. Fortunately I did not show unfaltering masculinity recently and  therefore do not feel obliged  buying the probably greatest junk available on the arms market today. The man rules a rotten country with a population that widely lives on booze and obviously loves to be tortured by some tyranny every 50 years. Living in a world of phantasy like his buddy Donald.
