Love it.
It's hard to put sanctions on a country that produces very little of anything that has value. The Russians won't care as it means more vodka for them to get drunk on.
Nasdrovia Putin.

Hold on, here are the vodkas I've seen the most at business gatherings, Absolut from Sweden, Skyy from America, Grey Goose from France. And finally, Smirnoff, what was once originally Russian, is also American owned and operated today.

So where's this whole vodka from Russia these days?

Stupid. How about a ban on corrupt, power hungry politicians.

Yes, it is satire. That is why I put the link under humor category.

Other than nickel, steel, oil, gas, gold, etc.

The Russians need more American type high value added products like Donuts and Adult Friend Finder.

Russia is one of the biggest arms exporter in the world:
http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2014/03/daily-chart-13

Lots of ships but small arms too.

Guys....
Russia is supposed to be a advanced country with their space programs etc.
Most of their exports are:
Natural resources, which take no brains to produce.
Arms, which kill people.
Imperialism, which no one wants.
What good have they ever done for mankind?

The biggest exporter of arms is the US by a fair sight.

http://www.upi.com/News_Photos/gallery/Worlds-Top-5-arms-exporters/3105/

And the US is most certainly Imperialist in a neo-colonial, open-your-borders to let Bechtel and Citigroup to buy any and everything it wants, or you're a rogue nation sort of way.

Oh, and of course, bad commercial paper like subprime mortgages tranches.

Remember, every time a rustbelt factory closes and all the equipment is packed up and sold to a Chinese company at a liquidation or buyout sale, it counts as "Industrial Equipment and Machinery" exports.

"Industrial Supplies" includes Nat Gas, Oil, Scrap Metal, etc.

Oh, and our top export to China? Soybeans.

The next one is Civilian Aircraft, but how much of that is Boeing packing up and shipping factories to China? That counts as an export, btw.

US can now drink more Tequila!!!!

Tequila Sunrise

"This pretty drink with layers of orange juice and grenadine is delicious on a hot day. The fact that the ratio of juice to tequila is high makes it a good choice for a brunch cocktail."

Ingredients
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger tequila
3/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
ice cubes
1/2 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger grenadine syrup
1 slice orange, for garnish
1 maraschino cherry for garnish

Directions
Stir or shake together tequila and orange juice. Fill a chilled 12 ounce glass with ice cubes; pour in orange juice mixture. Slowly pour in the grenadine, and allow it to settle to the bottom of the glass (be patient). Garnish with a slice of orange, and a maraschino cherry.

Paloma (cocktail)

TequilaPaloma.JPG

Type
Cocktail

The paloma (Spanish for "dove") is a tequila-based cocktail, most commonly prepared by mixing tequila with a grapefruit-flavored soda such as Fresca, Squirt, or Jarritos and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. Optionally, the glass may also be rimmed with salt.

Alternatively, the grapefruit soda can be replaced with fresh white or red grapefruit juice (jugo de toronja), club soda (sugar optional), and fresh-squeezed lime juice.

The Matador is a tequila-based cocktail. Less widely known than the margarita, its structure is similarly simple, with three primary ingredients: silver or blanco tequila, pineapple juice, and lime juice. Its chief coupling of pineapple and a single spirit resembles a Jackhammer, a variant of the Screwdriver which substitutes pineapple juice for orange juice to mix with vodka. Matadors are often presented differently, either in a cocktail (or martini) glass or a champagne flute.

LOL

Ppl, Jose Cuervo sucks!

Pls, start with 1800 and then, move up from that level to the Cabo Wabo and others.

Cuervo is trash; Hornitos smells and Sauza is a high grade of sewage.

All you need is $5-$7 extra dollars and you can transition that 750 ml bottle from Cuervo to 1800. Please do it; you won't regret your decision.

You are right... there is great tequila and bad tequila. I buy both, I admit it. On some occasions, you have to serve the cheap stuff, and on others I drink the finest.

ChapulinColorado says

I don't know about you but I'm not in school anymore.

I will never bring a bottle of Cuervo, to a gathering of ppl whom I care about. I always start with an 1800 Silver and that's the ultimate mixer/base, for any gathering.

Sure for my own shelf, Cabo Wabo Silver is the standard but I'm not sharing that with everyone in the world.

Rin says

Cabo Wabo Silver

Thanks for the tip Rin!

Really do appreciate it!

Yup, the cheap stuff was what I would buy in college... No Mo' Cheap stuff... from now on, we're buying lower middle class stuff.

Rin, if I ever can invite you to a party, you should know you may want to BYOB.

I think that jug next to the radiator fluid is supposed to be tequila... who wants another drink?

J/K! :)

So sad, now the Russians are going to have to drink even more of their own vodka.

You keep blaming America as being worse, but that does not prove or disprove the above assertions.
Either show why the above is wrong, or admit I'm right.

I should get paid, it would be money well spent.

If you aren't being paid quit being a lapdog for our evil imperialism throughout the world. Who is doing regime change? The zionist/neocons in the US like Cheney are doing the regime change. So stop supporting plain evil. Nuland, Secretary of State said we spent 5 billion to disrupt the Ukraine.

Her husband is Robert Kagan, cofounder of PNAC with William Kristol of Faux News. They predicted a new Pearl Harbor one full year before 9/11. I read it on their website myself.

America being an imperialist country is a myth, get over it. Some regimes need to be changed for a better world. If a regime change results in a step towards democracy I would wholeheartedly support it, and so should everyone else.

We should also ban the import of Russians, since they seem to like to annex anyplace that Russians happen to move to.

Unless they have a lot of money, as that would turn them into good American capitalists.
