Zithromax Antibiotic Smootie

It smells like disaster

happens almost every year something strange and surprising - and usually something extremely unpleasant, often tragic. The Russians attribute this peculiarity to their country and happy to ignore the global nature of this phenomenon - from the bombing of Hiroshima to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, death of Princess Diana, or Hurricane Katrina in the U.S..

I still think that the Russians consider the month of August with good reason as "their" tragic month. First, because Russia is a country to know its fate seems to be no happy ending in principle and almost always selects a victim-rich track (no matter what month). Second: Because such events, at least in recent years, mainly, in Russia and most of all done in August:
- August 1991: The Anti-Gorby coup
- August 1996: Russia to lose the 1st Chechen war, after a bloody battle for Grozny
- August 1999: Start of the 2nd Chechen war
- August 2000: terror at Pushkin Square in Moscow
- August 2000: Fire in Moscow Ostankino Tower
- August 2000: The nuclear submarine Kursk sinks with 114 passengers
- August 2004: Suicide bombers blow up two Tupoljew machines
- August 2004: suicide bomber blows himself up in front of the Moscow metro station Rizhskaya
- August 2008: Russian-Georgian war
- August 2009 accident at the hydroelectric plant Sayano-Schuschensk with 75 dead
... only the most striking events of this kind mentioned (And the tragedy in Beslan, which began in the early morning of 1 September 2004, in fact even on that list).

This year, the Russians seem to have begun as a precautionary measure in July to train for a great August disaster. An appropriate reason to do so provided the heat-century in central Russia. Over 2 400 Russian swimmer drowned in June and July in their - often inspired by alcohol - attempt to escape from the heat. A striking performance.

Apparently, however, the Russian world record for water enthusiasts have chosen the wrong item (not to mention the very wrong month). The record-breaking heat will still not the beginning of August, according to forecasts subside and the potential water bodies still have good chances of improving the record numbers continue, but turns the moment the Russian self-destruction trend towards increasing element of fire: Dozens of villages burned, hundreds of charred buildings. Thousands of homeless people. Several dozen deaths. And that's just the beginning.

The trend was to smell good even in the last decade of July in Moscow: A lush cloud of smoke over the city was unmistakable advantage. A renowned Moscow eco-expert said: "A few hours on Moscow streets two pack of Marlboro in a moment." But the Muscovites, Europe's raving about smoking in public Was not available and eager to smoke.

Thus the end of July smelled quite pungent after a disaster. But even without this, Russia this summer delivered world media terms a rather disreputable image, such as:
- A musician of world renown involved in a pedophilia scandal in Thailand;
- look, despite calls for help from Bishkek, Russia, the massacre in Kyrgyzstan only a coward;
- Mysterious terrorists blow up a hydroelectric power plant in the North Caucasus and disappear unpunished;
- Domestic intelligence agencies can expand their powers, where no one really knows what this is really good - strong smell during the international media as a result of this action be felt;
- Over recent great friend of Russia Alexander Lukashenko is on Russian television massively distributed garbage.

All these events have not really smelled good and in no way contributed to the strengthening of the patriotic feelings of Russians. After a real disaster, it smells but only since the end of July. Be it in this year's August "only" be the catastrophic forest fires - or have to be prepared for another disaster?
you soon.
