Tuesday

Now I will do a little politicking. It has nothing to do with my life, it has nothing to do with the apartment search. It has something to do with an article I read in a Hungarian daily paper.

The paper I bought on June 16 at the Budapest Airport but I only had the chance to read it recently and that prompted tis subject.

In this country the news outlets were full of the US government's action against Russia when the Ukrainian crisis started. The American government created all kinds of economical sanctions against Russia and the news outlets were full of these things. From the White House down they were convinced that these actions were the wisest things under the circumstances and these will force Russia on its economical knees.

I also think the US convinced the European Union to follow in their blockades.

What I don't ever remember reading anywhere that last August Russia instituted an import embargo against the members of the European Union. This embargo hurts primarily the agricultural importers.

Spain, Germany and Poland are the big losers. They are losing billions of Euros because they are not able to send their merchandise to Russia and their domestic markets can not absorb this surplus.

Nobody ever wrote about this. So what is the difference between the old fashioned communist censorship and the current "free press"? They still only want us to hear what they want us to hear!
