The State of Affairs in Russia

[CountDeMoney]

Oh and ended the Russo-Japanese War single handedly.

Shot a grizzly with his bare hands while doing it, too!

However, the Imperial Japanese Navy courteously disagrees.

Quiet you!

Yeah I don't think there's any Roosevelt streets or anything like that in the UK. We do have statues of FDR, Ike, Washington, Kennedy, Reagan and Lincoln (at least) though.

FDR is the Roosevelt in question. Teddy didn't have much influence on Europe.

Just didn't want to repeat 'Roosevelt' too much

Ah! Is this like saying Bloody Mary?

[Martinus]

Cursory check reveals for Vienna streets/squares named after Kennedy, Darwin, Billy Wilder, Roosevelt, Jenny Lind.

Warsaw has street named thematically in districts. An area near me has Moliere, Balzac, Zola etc.

There is even a Whinnie the Pooh street.

[Duque de Bragança]

There was a subway station named after him in Paris at least.

Still is, no?

Well there was in 2000 I have not been back to confirm

But yes I presume it still is there.

You presume correctly. This métro station serves the the Franklin Delano Roosevelt avenue, which intersects the Champs-Élysées.

I'm looking at possible the most notable Roosevelt named street in the UK, most of the others are tiny cul-de-sac, this ones in Chatham and it's a main road of a housing development; other names include; Eden Avenue, Tedder Avenue, Mountbatten Avenue, Bader Crescent, Frost Crescent, Ironside Close, Cunningham Crescent, Montgomery Avenue, Malta Avenue, Tobruk Way, Dunkirk Drive, Burma Way, Arnhem Drive, Alamein Avenue, Cherbourg Crescent, Packer Place.

All this sandwiched between Churchill Avenue in the South and the aforementioned Roosevelt Avenue in the North. The two linked directly by Stalin Avenue; I wonder if the developer had some understanding of wartime leadership?

With Montgomery Avenue and Cunningham Crescent. I do wonder if it maybe an idea to rename Stalin Avenue

It is odd that Stalin links the other two leaders; I'm have tempted to visit the housing estate if I ever make it to the dockyards there.

Dumb question, takes backs.

De Soto, Ponce de Leon, etc.

Not to mention that a lot of stuff is named for British guys.  They count as foreigners, too, you know.

Any US streets named for furriners other than Lafayette?

Over here we have streets for Kosciusko and Pulaski.

I can never pronounce that fucking bridge. Also, I like how it always has digital signs noting delays. It always has delays!

In Russian he's pronounced Koh-STEW-shko.

As if it wasn't obvious enough already that Putin basically had himself invited to parade around an EU and NATO member country as if he isn't becoming a pariah, two things made that clearer:
-The Hungarian side claimed pre-meeting that this personal visit was necessary to sign the extension of the long term gas contract ("OMG TEH FAMILIES WILL BE WITHOUT HEATING OTHERWISE") Then what they signed was a minor agreement they have already made a year ago concerning the consumption of the gas we already payed for IIRC.

-On the press conference, Putin really didnt give a damn about Hungary or common affairs, he was busy telling the defenders of that besieged town to surrender if they know what is good for them.


You better face it guys: you have a Trojan Horse in NATO and EU.

More a rickety 3-legged stool than a huge wooden craven symbol.

I'd entirely forgotten Hungary was in NATO and no doubt when it leaves, it'll be on page 3/4 for a day or two.
