USA: Under the (Russian) influence — DC bar introduces 'Moscow Mueller' cocktail special
2017-11-05 10:14
'The Bird' bar in Washington DC showed off its new politically-influenced cocktail special, called a 'Moscow Mueller', on Saturday. Over Twitter, the bar announced that it would be offering the special every time Special Counsel Robert Mueller carries out an indictment in the Trump-Russia probe.
The drink is sold at a special price of $5 (€4.30), whenever Mueller, who is investigating links between Russia and US President Donald Trump's election campaign, indicts someone in relation to the investigation.
General Manager of the bar Stephan Antoniewicz explained their choice of cocktail for this special, «It's — in part — a play on words, with being that the cocktail is called the 'Moscow Mueller'. It's a take, of course, on a Moscow Mule. And that is a vodka based drink with lime juice, simple syrup and ginger beer, served over ice.”
This isn't the first time 'The Bird' has used current affairs to advertise their specials. Back in August, the bar announced its «You're Fired» special, where they would offer all their drinks for $4 (€3.44) every time Trump a senior White House official was let go.

Poland: Removing of Soviet war memorials lacks ‘normal human decency’ — Russian ambassador*EXCLUSIVE*
2017-11-05 14:59
Poland’s decision to tear down Soviet War memorials would place it “outside the boundaries of normal human decency” Russian Ambassador to Poland Sergei Andreev said during an exclusive interview in Warsaw on Tuesday, October 31.
“War is being declared not on the monuments as such, but on the memory of those who saved Poland,” he said, adding “there is one basic fact — Poland was saved by the Red Army, Poland exists today thanks to those people who are honoured by these monuments. And war against memories of historical events is completely unacceptable to us.”
In June, Poland updated its “de-communisation” law to ban “totalitarian” symbols, which would include Soviet monuments.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry has warned of retaliatory measures if the monuments are taken down, which could include refusing visas for Polish officials or imposing trade sanctions.
The Red Army liberated Poland from German forces in 1944-1945, however, many Poles see the Red Army as an occupation force. In 1939, Russia broke away from an alliance with Britain and France to defend Poland, entering into the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, also known as the Nazi-Soviet Pact, in which the Germans and Russians agreed to split Poland between them.
