Kremlin's propaganda outlet RT is sending a seasonal "gift" of chocolate Salisbury Cathedral. Svetlana Gulaieva from TV Rain (a Russian independent TV channel), wonder how much it cost to eat. https://www.facebook.com/svetlana.gulaieva/posts/2151408901578556?comment_id=2151489418237171¬if_id=1545922226494140¬if_t=feed_comment_reply RT sent on the New Year the chocolate Salisbury Cathedral. Thanks. Cost to eat? |

I think Svetlana wonder if it is the "ultimate price". One of the commentar to Svetlana is Подарите им в ответ флакон от Nina Ricci, и пуÑкай они думают. "Give them a Nina Ricci bottle in return, and let them think." :) Some more humour from Russia... The Russian Defense Ministry presented a humorous calendar for 2019 https://rg.ru/2018/12/25/minoborony-rf-predstavilo-iumoristicheskij-kalendar-na-2019-god.html Next to the name of the month are printed army jokes dedicated to the types of troops and weapons. |

Putin's addition to all of his dachas (he has about 20), a new summer house that is a sumptuous Finnish Art Nouveau manor. Вилла Селлгрена, Villa Sellgren, Lihaniemi peninsula near Viborg close to Russia’s border with Finland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Sellgren 48 hectars with caretakers house 3000 square meters, heliport, guest quarters 1500 square meters, the Villa Sellgren 754 square meters and leisure area 1500 square meters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrIsXKdjZdo&feature=youtu.be&t=413 Not bad for a Russian president with an average yearly salary of about $112,000... So how can Putin afford all these datchas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttM-O-j1AVs |

It's quite interesting that Rossia 1 and Fox News use the same footage when illustrating the problems with Trump's Wall. Some says "It's almost as if they are colluding..." |

I have no idea. I don't think Rossia 1 and Fox News know either. Today I don't think any news outlets, Russian or American or many other countries for that matter, care so much about the origin of photos. Russian media for instance, can easily illustrate Ukrainian incidents with old pics from the Middle East. And even old Vietnam pics from the 60's :) |

The photos is most likely not fake. But it could be arranged. It's so funny though that the same photos is used to illustrate something that Rossia 1 and Fox News have totally different stories about. Which make me think of some American media like FOX News, actually Russian media as well, that cover the story about the so called "no-go zones" and the immigration problems in Stockholm:) |

So much for the Fox/Russia collusion belief.I don't believe there is a Fox/Russia collusion. However some can do. Reading news today has become very complicated today. How does one know they are trustworthy? So called un-biased news doesn't exist. Unfortunately Russia have become masters of deceiving news. Or perhaps I have become Russophobian. Blin:) |

Faux news is largely Russian propaganda. It follows Putin's wishlist almost as much as Prez. Gump. |

They fall in the same trap as Trump does. Remember that the Russian media today is almost all under the control of the Russian state (read Putin). And doing all what they can to manipulate US minds with help from the Internet Research Agency. It's so weird that Trump doesn't realize that... And Fox News of course follow their master's voice. But calling that collusion... No, it's sheer ignorance. |

I don't know about that as there are certainly a few totally ignorant persons here (even some who consider themselves experts in many fields, and often brag about it, but can't hold a candle up to their own self assessments). ;-) |

Neither is Fox under Trump. I thought it was the reverse, Fox is where Trump gets his idea's from. In the latest fiasco, it was Fox that changed Trumps mind, and you ended up with the shutdown. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/20/trump-budget-reversal-1071388 |

Rupert has always wanted to own a government for many decades now, but when we cut him off from that ever happening here so he went O.S. looking for somewhere where he could.Neither is Fox under Trump.I thought it was the reverse, Fox is where Trump gets his idea's from. Well we all know where he wound up. |

Lets hope he and his sons, stay where he seems to be welcome. He quit here when he was refused permission to take over too many media outlets. |

Opa! I don't think Putin and Kremlin like this. But we around the Baltic Sea does:) The Baltic States will cut their dependency on the Russian power grid. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-19-561_en.htm |
