    Rocket, I want to go to Russia for the World Cup in 2018

    Preceding that, I'd like to hit up the former Republics ... something like Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, etc. which are the best to visit?

    I think the funniest part is that it makes more sense to get a CS degree online than on-campus; it is really the only degree that I could say that about.

    I think it's an excellent idea Stackin.
    From that list of former republics - go to Belarus (It's by far the nicest, cleanest and has a ton beautiful historical sightings).

    Ukraine is basically a war zone right now. Not everywhere, but a lot of cool places are going to be unreachable for you. You also don't want to have any potential issues at the border that might arise, when you start traveling between say Russia and Ukraine.

    Moldovans are known for their excellent wine...but I haven't been there in over 20 years, so can't really tell you what it's like there right now.

    If you do go to Russia, make sure to hit St. Petersburg - It's one of the most beautiful cities in the World with a ton culture that dates centuries back to Peter The Great era who founded the city in 1703.
    Russian Revolution of 1917 that eventually started the communism in Russia also began in St. Petersburg.

    Of course St. Petersburg is destination A1, no doubt. I have a Belarussian friend but he says currently the guy who is in charge is essentially communist.

    I also want to meet the women in all those places (i'm orthodox actually not russian though) --- I think I like slavic women probably better than all else, as far as looks. Don't know a ton about their personality or issues otherwise, which could be a big problem, but I'm sure you know about that.

    Yeah the guy who's running Belarus, Lukashenko, is a communist, who's been in charge of that place since 1996 (Way too long of a time to be the one and only president, if you ask me ). Said all that, the fact the he's a communist shouldn't stop you from traveling over there. Belarus is just like Russia...maybe even a bit more friendly and definitely a lot cheaper, than Moscow or St. Petes, as far as the lodging & food goes.

    You can take an overnight train from Moscow to Minsk (capital of Belarus) and it would only cost you about 50-60 bucks. With that option you wouldn't even have to go through customs.

    Now as far as the Russian girls go - most are pretty laid back and chill. If you're good to them - they'll be good to you.
    Gorgeous women are literally everywhere you look...I'm talking 9's and 10's walking on the streets everywhere. And those are not hot like Ana Kurnikova (She's a 5 in Russia at most)...but real 10's, tall, skinny, blue eyes Slavic beauties.
    Since you'll be going over there during the summer time, you'll feel like you're at the fashion show where most women wear nothing but tiny skirts and tank tops.
    Be prepared to spend some serious cash anywhere you go - Moscow is one of the most expensive cities in the World. You'd see things in Moscow as far the luxury goes, that you've never seen in US.
    Also you're not going to wow anyone over there by saying that you're an American (That shit only worked back in the 90's) - so keep that information on the down low. Also since you don't speak Russian, try not to be loud when you speak English in public and try to avoid any kind of confrontations at all costs. Don't talk to strangers and don't take any drinks or food from them either without your Belorussian friend.

    Other than that I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun.

    Enjoy it

    This is the type of people 007 Bond needs to take out. Soros is the real head of Spectre....or at least one of them.

    The Bizarre Media Blackout Of Hacked George Soros Documents



    The mainstream press has completely ignored the leak of thousands of eye-opening documents that expose Soros' far-flung efforts to push his leftist views in the U.S. and abroad. (Jiri Rezac/Polaris/Newscom)

    Scandal: Leaked documents released a few days ago provide juicy insider details of how a fabulously rich businessman has been using his money to influence elections in Europe, underwrite an extremist group, target U.S. citizens who disagreed with him, dictate foreign policy, and try to sway a Supreme Court ruling, among other things. Pretty compelling stuff, right?
    Not if it involves leftist billionaire George Soros. In this case, the mainstream press couldn't care less.
    On Saturday, a group called DC Leaks posted more than 2,500 documents going back to 2008 that it pilfered from Soros' Open Society Foundations' servers. Since then, the mainstream media have shown zero interest in this gold mine of information.
    We couldn't find a single story on the New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, CBS News or other major news sites that even noted the existence of these leaked documents, let alone reported on what's in them.

    Indeed, the only news organization that appears to be diligently sifting through all the documents is the conservative Daily Caller, which as a result has filed a series of eye-opening reports.

    So what could possibly explain the mainstream media's disinterest?
    Is the problem that the material is too boring or inconsequential? Hardly.
    As we noted in this space on Monday, the leaked documents show how Soros' far-flung international organizations attempted to manipulate Europe's 2014 elections. The "List of European Elections 2014 Projects" details over 90 Soros efforts he had under way that year.
    The documents reveal that Soros has poured nearly $4 million into anti-Israel groups, with a goal of "challenging Israel's racist and anti-democratic policies."
    Here at home, they show that Soros proposed paying the Center for American Politics $200,000 to conduct a smear campaign against conservative activists.
    More recently, an October 2015 document came to light showing that Soros' Open Society U.S. Programs had donated $650,000 to "invest in technical assistance and support for the groups at the core of the burgeoning #BlackLivesMatter movement." Since then, several BLM protests have turned violent.
    Another details how Soros tried to use his clout to sway Supreme Court justices into approving President Obama's unilateral effort to rewrite immigration law. "Grantees are seeking to influence the Justices (primarily via a sophisticated amicus briefs and media strategy) in hopes of securing a favorable ruling in U.S. v Texas," the memo, dug up by the Daily Caller, states.
    Anyone with this much power and influence demands close media scrutiny. Particularly when he has extremely close ties to the would-be next president of the United States.
    This year alone, Soros has given $7 million to the Clinton-supporting Priorities USA super-PAC, and a total of $25 million to support Democrats and their causes, according to Politico.
    And when Soros speaks, Clinton listens. A separate email released by WikiLeaks shows Soros giving what read like step-by-step instructions to then-Secretary of State Clinton on how to deal with unrest in Albania in early 2011, including a list of people who should be considered as candidates to become an official mediator sent to that country. Days later, the EU dispatched one of the people on Soros' list.
    Thomas Lifson, writing in the American Thinker blog, said "Soros got the U.S. and other accomplices to intervene in the internal affairs of a sovereign state…. How is this not huge news?"
    How, indeed.
    If Soros were a rock-ribbed conservative who supported Republican candidates and causes, you can bet that a swarm of reporters would right now be lustily tearing into these documents determined to expose any and every shred of evidence of influence peddling and misdeeds.
    But because Soros is a hard-core leftist, he apparently gets a pass. Shameful.
