I wouldn't recommend this video for children or people with heart problems.

I do not want an R1, I do not want an R1, I do not want an R1.

Thanks to Robert who told me about the amazing video here.

Kosovo Declares Independence

Think things have been getting too quiet in Europe? The victory of incumbent Boris Tadic in Serbia's presidential elections at the beginning of February was foreshadowing for yesterday's events. Forbes has an article addressing the newly declared independent Kosovo. It is, of course, accepted and backed by the US and the European Union and is, of course, opposed by Serbia and Russia.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the more pro-Russian candidates over the next few years.

The quote from the article that made me look twice was this line:

'Kosovo is a democratic, secular and multi-ethnic society,' which would welcome the EU's 'international civilian and (NATO) military presence in Kosovo.'

Missile System From Russia to Iran

Someone please send me some really cool local art I can post or something that will bring a smile to people's faces.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Russia has agreed to sell an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to Iran. You can read the article for yourself here.

"S-300 missiles are longer-ranging than the TOR-M1 surface-to-air missiles which Russia, in a deal criticized by the West, earlier this year said it had delivered to the Islamic Republic under a $1 billion contract."
