I hail from America's Dairyland, Wisconsin.  In Wisconsin, every third farm, it seems, has its own cheese factory.  Where I grew up, there were at least 10 factories within a five mile radius.  Some are excellent.  One of my favorite cheeses, if aged properly, is an American cheese called Muenster.  (I once had a great aunt named Iola Muenster.  She did not age well.)

This cheese is great for grilled cheese sandwiches, tuna melts or macaroni and cheese.  It is not found in many stores because it takes extra effort to make and is now displaced by more common cheeses that are mass produced like Mozzarella.  But if you are ever in Wisconsin, make sure you ask for the local variety of Muenster and you will be in for a subtle treat.

The only green/blue Italian cheese of any fame is Gorgonzola.


There is an odd marriage between France and Italy called Cambazola. It is a new cheese but quite good. What is hilarious it is a German product.

The article covers the issues-- looking at bigger picture--piece by piece !!
This is a crucial piece of equipment to raise the price of  Russia's invasion-- and greatly enhance the Ukrainian military's ability to defend themselves.

The US is providing Ukraine with a radar system that could 'help tip the balance' of the country's conflict

The US and its partners have struggled to counter Russian president Vladimir Putin’s moves on the world stage. Russia has continued to beef up its military presence in Syria while conducting unilateral strikes against US-backed rebels in the country. And in Ukraine, Russian-backed separatists continue to occupy much of the Donbas region.

But the day after a high-profile meeting with Putin at the UN, President Obama authorised a deal that would provide the Ukrainian military with $US20 million in radar equipment. According to Adrian Karatnycky of the Atlantic Council, the radar systems could seriously change the Ukrainian conflict’s calculus.

The US will now provide Ukraine with Q36 radar systems, an item that was high on Kiev’s military wish list. The radars are mobile and can allow “the immediate targeting of the point of origin of missiles from a range of 18 kilometers and rockets from a distance of 24 kilometers,” Karatnycky writes “More importantly, it enables operators to precisely locate the enemy’s artillery and rocket launchers after just one shot.”

Karatnycky thinks the radars could “help tip the balance” for Ukrainian government forces. As Karatnycky notes, 75% per cent of Ukranian fatalities are “a result of artillery and missile attacks,” according to the country’s defence ministry.

The radar may deter future separatist attacks, since a single launched rocket or missile would give away their firing location. When the separatists did attack with the radar system present, the Ukrainians will be able to quickly and effectively launch a targeted counter-attack.

I wouldn't get too excited about this news for a number of reasons.

The AN/TPQ-36 is an old design that has been superseded by later units such as the current TPQ-53.  I suspect that the US experience in the Middle-East by losing weaponry to the enemy would not want to risk Russia or Terrorists to have our current technology.

A countermeasure likely to be effective against this system is for the enemy to continue to fire from residential areas.  Launching mortar counter-attacks into residential areas has already been the subject of a lot of controversy on both sides.

Unfortunately, Obama is not likely to provide anything useful to Ukraine to defend themselves.  Short of impeachment,  I don't see any hope of Ukraine receiving any useful weapons from the USA. 

Europe already has weapons that could have allowed Ukraine to beat back the Russians, but they are too interested in their business relationships with Russia to help their neighbors.  Perhaps the next time Europe asks for US support to defeat an enemy, we should tell them we will provide the same amount of support they gave Ukraine when they were in need.   We could offer a  lot of talk, talk, talk like Merkel has done.

... Stalin did believe Hitler would not invade the USSR, so strongly did he believe this, that he refused to believe both Molotov and Victor Sorge, who reported most of Operation Barbarossa.

I wanted to expand on this point but I didn't want to trust my memory. I consulted Niall Ferguson's "War of the World", a history of 20th century warfare. Sorge, an intelligence officer of the Soviet Union's GRU (military intelligence), had thoroughly penetrated the German embassy to Japan and found that the Germans would invade the USSR on or shortly after June 20. He sent word of this to Moscow, but Stalin rejected it brusquely.

That was the best information Stalin had about the coming German invasion but it wasn't the only information he had. On June 21 the Soviet ambassador in Berlin informed Moscow that the invasion would begin the next day (it did in fact begin the next day). Soviet intelligence services had penetrated many German ministries, and information from many of them confirmed the invasion. One estimate is that the number of such warnings totaled 84. Upon being informed of the invasion by a source in the German Air Ministry Stalin exploded, "The source in the staff of the German Air Force should be sent to his f*cking mother. This is no source but a disinformer."

And it wasn't only the intelligence services who warned of a German invasion. Red Army Marshal Semyon Timoshenko, in command of troops near the German positions, warned Stalin that the Germans were positioning themselves for an attack on the USSR. Upon receiving Marshal Timoshenko's warning Stalin said, "Timoshenko is a fine man, with a big head, but apparently a small brain... If you're going to provoke the Germans on the frontier by moving troops there without our permission then heads will roll, mark my words."

Turkey threatened to abandon Russian gas.

Turkey could reconsider the purchase of Russian gas. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called an explanation about Turkish air space violations by Russian warplanes "unconvincing" 

Turkey could reconsider the purchase of Russian gas because of the deterioration of relations with Russia after the violation of Turkish airspace. This was stated by the President of Turkey Tayyip Erdogan, Joinfo.ua reports with the reference to Reuters.

“We are the number one buyer of Russian natural gas. Loss of Turkey will be a serious loss for Russia. If necessary, Turkey can buy natural gas in various places,” – said the President of Turkey.

Erdogan stressed that Ankara “can not accept the current state of affairs”, and explanations about the Russian violations of airspace called ” unconvincing.”

In addition, Erdogan said that Turkey may also reconsider the construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant on the Russian project.

“If the Russian will not be building Akkuyu nuclear power plant, someone else will come and build it”, – said Erdogan.

Turkey is the second largest consumer of Russian gas, giving primacy to Germany.

It should be recalled that the Turkish Foreign Ministry reported that Russian military aircraft violated the airspace of the country. The incident happened on October 3 in the Yayladagi region of Turkey’s southern Hatay province. Russian jet was intercepted by two  fighters F-16S from the Turkish air force, which were conducting patrols in the region. Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador in Turkey to protest the violation.

Neither Turkey nor Russia have confirmed this:

Quote
Turkish forces are said to have shot down a Russian jet after it flew into the country's airspace, according to unconfirmed reports on social media. It has been claimed by eyewitnesses that there was a large explosion in Huraytan, northern Syria, while three fighter planes were seen overhead. Rumours of a jet being shot out of the sky come amid heightening tensions between Russian president Vladimir Putin and the West.

It comes days after another Russian bomber violated Turkish airspace.
According to the Daily Express, one journalist tweeted that three Turkish planes had been responding to 'mysterious' lock-ons from MIG-29 jets, which are used by Putin's forces.

I'm not sure this actually happened. Turkey and Russia are not acknowledging it and western media or NATO doesn't appear to have picked up on it as of yet either.

Having said that, if it has happened it would not be too far of a stretch for Turkish authorities to withhold the info as 'operationally classified'. I also doubt the Russians would be too quick to confirm the "vaunted Russian air force" lost a jet illegally overflying a NATO country while conducting Syrian combat missions.

Over the last few days I've been particularly interested in the Israeli response to Russians overflying the Golan (former Syrian territory seized and occupied by Israel and still claimed by Syria). However, in light of perceived (and not entirely unjustified) abandonment by the US. Israel has been cozying up with the Russians so I doubt Israel will be shooting down any Russian jets any time soon.

The largest Swiss banks began to create problems for clients from Russia. Accounts Closed!


Russian clients with assets of less than five million dollars faced this fall with the mass closing of accounts in major Swiss banks UBS and Credit Suisse, writes the Russian edition of magazine Forbes with reference to sources in the market.

Now, to save your account, the customer must pay a subscription fee in the amount of about one thousand Swiss francs a month, said one of the sources. Sources indicated that the Russians already faced with similar measures in Swiss banks last year, but then it was about those who hold on the account less than three million dollars.

Some customers have encountered problems due to the fact that the warning about closing their accounts came to them by mail. Within three to four months they did not know about the decision of the Bank and were forced to pay a Commission.

The problems of the Russians with foreign banks began last spring when, as a result of the Ukrainian crisis and the annexation of Crimea Russia has come under international sanctions, reminds Forbes.

According to sources, banks thus minimize country risks and transfer the focus on servicing larger accounts. Similarly, in 2013, Credit Suisse had closed accounts of the customers from falling under the sanctions of Angola, Turkmenistan and Belarus.

In addition to the closure of the accounts, Swiss banks began to monitor customers ‘ compliance with Russian legislation on controlled foreign companies and the legislation on currency control, the newspaper notes.

Bankers reported that UBS and Credit Suisse to allow Russian customers to transfer money to their personal accounts in Switzerland only from Russia.
 Use foreign accounts without restrictions imposed by Russian currency law, Russian citizens can open foreign companies who have Bank accounts in foreign banks.

On this account the limitations of the foreign exchange act do not apply, the authors explain. However, you have to notify this to the company, to cook for her statements and to pay tax on profit in Russia.

Credit Suisse said that the Bank is not publicly discussing «matters related to the customers». The head of UBS Wealth Management in Russia said that the Bank does not have any penalty rates for owners of small accounts.

We will remind, in the spring of this year it became known that Russian rich to explain the origin of their funds began to demand the UK. This was discussed, for example, at the meeting of the head of Rosfinmonitoring Yuri Chikhanchin with President Vladimir Putin on March 23.

At the Congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and entrepreneurs on 19 March Putin warned business that some countries received «disturbing information» that «may be attempts to obstruct the return of capital to Russia». «Just keep that in mind. And, of course, each of you should make such decision», — said the President of the Russian Federation, addressing the representatives of business.

Earlier that London is interested in the origin of the funds on accounts of Russians in British banks, in late January, said the former co-owner of the company «Euroset» Evgeny Chichvarkin living in recent years in the UK.

According to chichvarkina, he «rejoiced»received from its Bank a letter of request in connection with the sanctions against Russia to explain the origin of his funds and also to clarify information about his assets and their origin.

Russia 'tried to cut off' World Wide Web
A failed experiment to cut Russia from the World Wide Web
stokes fears of Chinese-style online censorship
By Roland Oliphant, Moscow6:15PM BST 15 Oct 2015


Russia has run large scale experiments to test the feasibility of cutting the country
off the World Wide Web, a senior industry executive has claimed.

The tests, which come amid mounting concern about a Kremlin campaign to clamp
down on internet freedoms, have been described by experts as preparations for an
information blackout in the event of a domestic political crisis.

Andrei Semerikov, general director of a Russian service provider called Er Telecom,
said Russia’s ministry of communications and Roskomnadzor, the national internet
regulator, ordered communications hubs run by the main Russian internet providers
to block traffic to foreign communications channels by using a traffic control system
called DPI.

The objective was to see whether the Runet – the informal name for the Russian
internet – could continue to function in isolation from the global internet.

The experiment, which took place in spring this year, failed because thousands of
smaller service providers, which Roskomnadzor has little control over, continued to
pass information out of the country, Mr Semerikov said.

Smaller providers account for over 50 per cent of the market in some Russian regions,
generally lack the DPI technology used by the larger companies to implement the blocking
orders, and often use satellite connections that cannot be easily blocked.

Russian officials denied any such experiment had taken place. A Roskomnadzor spokesman
said “there was not such experiment". The agency had not responded to a written request
for further details by close of business Thursday.

Mr Semerikov’s comments had been wrongly interpreted and “in such a form that it is
pointless to comment on it,” another Roskomnadzor spokesman told RBK, a Russian
newspaper.

Standard & Poor's Lowers Russian Growth Forecast

Standard & Poor's has cut its growth forecast for Russia, predicting that lower and more volatile oil prices will make it harder for the country to emerge from recession.

The ratings agency said Thursday that the Russian economy would contract by 3.6 percent this year and grow by only 0.3 percent in 2016. It had earlier predicted a 2.6 percent contraction for this year and 1.9 percent growth in 2016.

“The change reflects our expectations of a more prolonged weakness in domestic demand due to lower and more volatile oil prices, and tighter fiscal and monetary policies through end-2016, compared with our previous assumptions,” a press release quoted Standard & Poor's senior economist Tatyana Lysenko as saying.

Consumer spending has fallen sharply since Russia's economic slump began in 2014, but S&P had expected it to begin to recover this year thanks to a stabilization of the oil price and ruble exchange rate, slowing inflation, and falling interest rates.

However, the price of oil, Russia's most important export, fell by about one-quarter during July-September, causing the ruble to weaken and reviving inflation fears.

The lower oil price has also reduced budget revenues, forcing the government to propose limiting spending on pensions and public-sector wages, measures that are also likely to further depress consumer demand in the short term, S&P said.

The agency is still more optimistic than Russia's Central Bank, which said last month the economy would contract by 3.9-4.4 percent this year and likely shrink again in 2016.

Oil prices are at their lowest in six years due to a supply glut, which the International Energy Agency this week said would continue through next year. Brent oil, the international benchmark, cost about $50 per barrel on Thursday, down from a peak of $115 in summer 2014. Russia is one of the world's top three oil producers.

Then answer these questions here...

...if you think I've been wrong each time. Substantiate your assertions. Go on try. ;D

Yes, "engagements". I certainly wouldn't class your Putin fluffing as debate. Trolling definitely, wildly inaccurate propaganda certainly but not debate by any stretch of the imagination.

Really? I don't really want to educate you because it takes more time to answer your boneheaded statements then it's worth so I'll let you do the research...

What Canadian government was in power when Canada declared war and 'invaded' Afghanistan?

What Canadian government was in power when a Canadian General commanded 10 brigades in the invasion of Iraq?

Aw, never mind I'll answer this one for you, you don't have the intelligence to figure this one out....

...'Canada's relation to the Iraq War that began in 2003 was unlike Canada's role in the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan because it was far less direct. About a hundred Canadian exchange officers, on exchange to American units, participated in the invasion of Iraq.[2] It has been reported that Canadian troops in the region numbered fewer than only three other participating countries"...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_and_the_Iraq_War

Canadian General Walter John "Walt" Natynczyk

Natynczyk attended the U.S. Army War College, and was subsequently appointed Deputy Commanding General, III Corps and Fort Hood. In January 2004, he deployed with III Corps to Baghdad, Iraq, serving first as the Deputy Director of Strategy, Policy and Plans, and subsequently as the Deputy Commanding General of the Multi-National Corps (Iraq) during Operation Iraqi Freedom.[6] Natynczyk led the Corps' 35,000 soldiers, consisting of 10 separate brigades, stationed throughout the Iraq Theatre of Operations.[1][7] He was later awarded the Meritorious Service Cross specifically for his combat efforts in Operation Iraqi Freedom January 2004 to January 2005.[8]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Natynczyk

Maybe you can answer this one. Guess what Canadian Government lied to the Canadian people that Canada was not participating in Gulf two while at the same time deploying air, sea, and land forces to Iraq in secret?

Here's a hint, it starts with an 'L'...

Welcome to democracy. Something you and the other Putin fluffers and worshippers, by supporting the criminal dictator Putin, are working diligently to take away from the world.  ;)

We disagree, I think it is was a good enough deal under the circumstances, as do the major powers that agreed to it...you think it was a bad deal.


 


Yes, your man Harper got trounced, and YOU state Canada may be less involved with their military in foreign interventions....I say "GOOD". 


You sure do have a lot of questions, but since you already 'know' all the answers I'm not sure why you need me!  :D

Nope, you had your chance. You still do. You couldn't defend your position then and you can't defend it now. Why? Because it was all lies, deception and misrepresentation to substantiate nonsensical assertions that you were making up as you went along just as your doing on this thread , that's why. ;D

Yes, your man Harper got trounced, and YOU state Canada may be less involved with their military in foreign interventions....I say "GOOD". 

And I asked why you interjected "Good". Now try and explain that interjection. Go on, impress me with your knowledge of Canadian foreign policy and recent governmental decisions. Here's your chance. ;D


You sure do have a lot of questions, but since you already 'know' all the answers I'm not sure why you need me!  :D

All this deflection, tsk, tsk. These are your statements after all. All I'm asking you to do is clarify them.  Can you not even defend your own thoughts and conclusions?  What's the matter with you?  :o

Opp. Can't answer the questions or defend your statements so you're falling back into troll mode again. Absolutely nothing in that post was long winded or disjointed my Putin fluffing friend. That was all you. :D

Of course I could defend extensively all my statements if I chose to, but I prefer to keep you hanging, as your weak (or off-topic) arguments don't create any need for me to elaborate that much.
  The subject of Iran is closed, the deal was made, and I've made the case I wanted to, and obviously all the major powers agree, so you can impotently  bellyache all you want. The alternative was always worse, many knew this from the outset, and many more drew that conclusion later. 


Yes "GOOD" If Canada is going to keep their military out of other nation's affairs, despite 'knowing everything' obviously you are out of touch with what the populous want, and thinks is right.  Your man is out! Another "Good"....because if you supported him, he must have been too hawkish from my viewpoint.   ;D

Wow, are you back peddling or what! You can't defend your statements at all, can you? You've got nothing, LOL.  :D

Go back and read the post I linked. You made those statements therefor the subject was obviously open when you posted your comments was it not?

I'm just asking you to clarify your assertions. Can you not do that? ;D

And what "other nation's affairs" would that be?  ;D Are you aware that when you post you actually don't convey anything? You just make these nebulous generalized combative statements that when asked to clarify you can't. Classic Russian Troll stuff!

Yes, you're absolutely right. Harper wasn't letting your idol (Putin) get away with anything he had any say over. That must make you very happy...another obstacle out of the way for your hero ;)

I don't agree, there is no saying if I'm 'absolutely' right, but I think I am.

Again, you haven't posted anything I feel I need to respond to substantively.  I've made the case I wanted to.  Hopefully Canada helps start a trend whereby Western nations stop interfering and arming/fomenting in nations 1000's of miles away.  It is obvious that 'helping' the people is NOT the reason for the fomentation, regardless of the people who insist it is all about being altruistic and "Dudley Do right'

You argue with semantics while the truth of my statement remains ..."Harper wasn't letting your idol (Putin) get away with anything he had any say over. That must make you very happy...another obstacle out of the way for your hero ;)"

You can't answer substantively, you mean.  ;D

And what case is that? That you can post any ol' fantasy that pops into your head in support of Putin but when asked to substantiate or clarify your nonsense, you won't because you can't? Comical as hell. ;D

No answer for this one either, eh?

"And what "other nation's affairs" would that be?"

I guess the way to shut down your trolling from now on is just ask you to substantiate your Putin driven propaganda. Obviously the Russian Troll Handbook doesn't cover 'answering questions'. ;D

Actually Putin is not my idol, but I can see why he is doing some of things he is....your idol just got squashed.

Looks like the "Russian Trolls" are multiplying across Canada.
  I see it more as, I've made my point, and you haven't said anything very important yet, so I don't think I need to answer your every question.  The main point remains, I'm satisfied if Canada has elected a leader that is going to be less involved in foreign conflicts.  I hope it starts a trend among other Western nations.
