Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law on the ratification of the agreement with Ankara on the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.

The lower house of the Russian parliament, the State Duma, ratified the agreement on January 20, while the upper house, the Federation Council, ratified the document on February 1.

Moscow and Ankara signed an intergovernmental agreement in October 2016 envisioning the construction of two underwater legs of the gas pipeline in the Black Sea. The annual capacity of each leg is estimated to reach 15.75 billion cubic meters of natural gas. Pipe-laying work for the Turkish Stream is expected to begin in 2017 and end in late 2019.

Look at the clever counterweight on the boom of the crane.

Yeah, yeah; no one cares, but it's a nice piece of work.

You'll probably care soon enough buddy. The Russians have the fuel, the Turks are pissed, there are ready buyers.

Rubber meets the road. Nobody gives a crap about the fading U.S. and EU.

Today the news is Chinese backing for more high speed transcontinental rail through Russia. They have the engineering, the experience, the money and the motive.

They will do it and leave the U.S. its 1950s infrastructure.

The whole world can get along very well without the U.S.

I read a while ago about the Bering Tunnel to take the Silk road into, first, into Canada then south.

Well the McCains (and ain't he just a smarmy lookin' little piece of work, a limp d*ck Richard if I ever saw one.) down there will eff that up royally but up here we just -might- evince more sense because it might come to something of a choice for us: Those with the GMO free food or the crazy haters with a billion guns, and usin' 'em every day.

We make -actually- make up our own mind about something important . . . imagine

The unilateral veto power is why the UN is a joke.
