I am giving a lecture tonight to some academics/businessmen/politicians on how Russia's political and economic elites see the world today. Blogging will return late tonight.
Update Tuesday 2:03 EST: So I thought .... a dinner with about 100 interesting people in Old Montreal .... and since there were only going to be 3 speakers (I was the last one) ... it would be over rather quickly. I was wrong. Sighhhh .... as I learned last night (again) .... a lot of people in the West want to know what is happening in Russia, and when they hear me they realize that the narrative that they are receiving from the main stream media is .... to put it bluntly .... lacking.
I should get paid for doing this.
Blogging will return when I wake up.

Knock 'em dead Ed. !!!!
Breaking news from the Quebec Beignet: Police sources speaking on condition anonymity say a clandestine Borscht Lovers meeting was broken up earlier this evening. Groups of suspects were seen fleeing the scene with large amounts of beets. Police are now hunting for a person of interest last seen driving a 1978 ZIL sedan with the bumper sticker "I'd rather be driving a Trabant". If spotted please notify local authorities or an auto towing service.
hee, hee

How do the suspect looks like . Is it wearing an outfit Like Sean Connery Indiana Jones dad. I think I have seen it but I will no call the tow service I much rather call the Smithsonian Institute ..
S-vis-pasen .... my fashion style would put the head of Spectre to shame. James .... I owe you a beer. :)
I kind of wish I was there, or could have seen a video of it at least. Very interesting to know what they think we think (or our elite thinks).
Any chance your presentation
was recorded and will be
available on-line?

Si-vis-pasen,
"the Smithsonian Institute" heh, that's pretty good, it should be easy to work it in somewhere.
OFS
Unfortunately no. But in August I gave a presentation in Moscow at Russia's equivalent of the Council on Foreign Relations. It was videotaped (but in Russian) ... so that is no good. But in both presentations I gave my own perspectives on the current geopolitical situation. Because my Moscow gig was a paid presentation, I was obligated to not publish anything until .... well until now. :)
I am preparing an essay that summarizes everything. I will be posting it this weekend. It will be my own take on what is happening in geopolitics today, why is it happening, and what to expect.
I'll keep my imagination reaching for the skies, to me you sure look like a some type of genius. Thank you for all your great work.
Si-vis-pasen ..... My GF will have an interesting (and opposite) opinion on my "genius". :)
I have a mental image of the WNU Editor being a toned, clean shaven Jason Bourne type character whom is often seen on the golf course hitting sub-90 rounds before driving off at speed in a late-model Mercedes.
I might be wrong about the Mercedes.
LOL

Its a Beamer. The GF drives the Merc.
But Ladas, Trabants .... I am waaaayyyy tooo familiar with those cars ... being the unfortunate owner (multiple times) of both of those vehicles.
Between you and I. A blond with a Rottie on the passenger seat is one of the sexiest things you can see in a Mercedes. Trust me on this one .... in that type of car both of them project an image of "don't mess with me".
