A representative of the Belarusian delegation at the opening ceremony of the Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro went to the stadium with the Russian tricolor in his hands. A representative of the Belarusian national team went through almost a quarter of the track of the stadium before security officers took the Russian flag from him.
Minsk: The exit to Rio with the flag of Russia is the state position of Belarus
When the puppeteers of the top of the IPC saw the Russian flag at the Marakana stadium, they at once “lost their breath” - verbal diarrhea, howling and hysterics: “Catch, catch, not let go!” By the Belarusian Andrei Fomochkin, wooden soldiers, guarding “democracy,” - flag selected, but not selected the courage, conscience and honor of a real person. Thank you, Andrew! Thank you, Belarus!

On the ideas of servants of the people and the "real" colonel
Some representatives of the federal authorities began to put forward ideas on how to live, and how to cut budget spending. The head of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, Valentina Matvienko, made a proposal regarding the need for changes in the work of the Mandatory Medical Insurance Fund (MHIF). Speaker of the Federation Council stated that unemployed citizens should be obliged to make contributions to the MHIF to receive free medical care.

Against the background of Valentina Matvienko’s proposal, other advanced “optimization initiatives” are also relevant: for example, why does free medicine in Russia work for citizens and retirees? - what a good indicator of life expectancy at all for 80 will skip ... And is it necessary for the Pension Fund and the budget? It is better to use the money saved to increase the staff of people's representatives and to provide everyone with a life-long salary and a personal village with serfs ... uh-uh ... with a loyal electorate.
By the way, at about the same time as the head of the Federation Council’s survey on contributions to the MHIF by representatives of the non-working population (for “there is not enough money in the treasury” ...) in the apartment of the head of the anti-corruption department GUEBiPK MVD Colonel Dmitry Zakharchenko, the FSB and GUSB MVD RF found equivalent 8 billion rubles (123 million dollars). It is immediately clear that with the MHIF the Colonel was all right, because the man is working! .. Honest, overworking ...

Blessing for Shavkat
Uzbekistan (in large Russian media) recalled its existence, as they say, “unexpectedly”. “First by news that the permanent President Islam Karimov is in critical condition due to a stroke, then due to the death of the head of state.” Everything is presented and continues to be presented in the format "like snow on my head." As if Islam Karimov was not going to be the 79 year, but the 39 year ...

In the week of Samarkand, where Islam Karimov was buried, Vladimir Putin visited. The Russian leader honored the memory of the first president of Uzbekistan, laying flowers at his grave. After the ceremony, Vladimir Putin held talks with the chairman of the government of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who was appointed acting president after a couple of days. So before the election is near - the blessing from the GDP and the family of Islam Karimov received ... The main thing is that after the election there should be no “surprises”, and that’s how it happens: with a smile and statements about a strong partnership, they shake hands alone, and then suddenly leap kite finger tips to others. We don’t need to kiss anything - I would like to have really friendly and equal relations between our countries. The rest, as they say, from the evil one.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, do not destroy the Baltic dream
President of Russia:

Vladimir Vladimirovich, tell me, why are you destroying the dream of a normal occupation like that seated in the Baltic genes? What does it mean “we are not going to conquer the Baltics”? - Baltic rulers shout in anger. “How can we then ask for loans and used armor from our partners in the military bloc?” - Baltic tigers howl in mines and defense ministries.
Vladimir Vladimirovich, the Baltic wants ... This, perhaps, lives. And you are with her ...

Representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will visit the regions in order to attract reserve officers dismissed during the reform of the Armed Forces to military service. The press service added that the positive changes in the Russian Armed Forces led to an increase in the number of requests from reserve officers to return them to service.
If they offer to return - great. But then, as a result of Serdyuk's optimization, carried out with such diligence that even the proverb about “make someone pray to God ...” fades away, tens of thousands of military professionals were left behind by the Armed Forces.
We realized that it was already a deal. After all, in fact, people were sent “to the scrap”, the preparation of which the state itself allocated a lot of money in its time - such “optimization” was more like either outright unprofessionalism or sabotage. But in the end it turned into an explosive mixture of the one and the other.

The minister replied: “On this occasion, for a start, I will tell a joke. One headquarters wondered when it was better to attack Russia? - The Germans say - just not in the summer, in the summer we tried - nothing good came to an end. The French say - we shouldn't get closer to winter either, we tried ... we decided to ask the Chinese (they are calm, wise guys). The Chinese responded: “Russia should be attacked right now. The Russians are now building the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, a new cosmodrome, the Crimean Bridge. They are now very much in need of prisoners ... "Well, after that, the minister has already diplomatically softened in the style of blah blah blah.

According to Alexander Kotsyuba (the head of Antonov), Ukroboronprom, which now includes Antonov, may decide to ban the An-124-100 Ruslan outside of Russia.
Just now, a maid in Ukraine salt pack was found at home. We sit and think, and whether it is necessary to send an appeal to Kiev about the permission to "salt soup"? Otherwise, if without treatment, something good will be forbidden ...
True, here the aircraft "Ruslan" and "Maid in Ukraine", if all the technology "from the SEPS [p]" ... Since the Maidanian spent there de-communization and desovetizatsiyu, so let him sit and keep quiet - do not heat the saucepan on his head.

Cold reception
Arriving at the G-20 summit, Barack Obama found himself in a funny position: first, those who met did not give him a ramp, and the US president had to exit through the aircraft's emergency door; secondly, for some reason they did not file a red carpet. Apparently, they did not have time to get to the emergency exit. There is an opinion that with such a cold reception the Chinese have revenged the American president "for Putin." However, the Obama guard claims that she insisted on using the onboard ramp.
In addition, the media reported that when they met at the Hangzhou airport, PRC representatives “did not recognize” American national security adviser Susan Rice: she was “barred” from the American president. It got to the point that representatives of the US Secret Service intervened in the matter.
Obama got the Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte - so much so that Mr. American President decided to abandon the scheduled meeting with his Filipino counterpart. According to CNN, the leader of the Philippines spoke unflatteringly about the US president because at the G20 summit in China, he was going to raise the issue of arms smuggling and a high crime rate in the Philippines, as well as methods to combat crime. Duterte said that in the US the situation with crime and arms smuggling is no better than the Philippine one, as well as with the methods of confrontation, and therefore Obama should pay attention to the situation in his own country, and only then comment on the situation in the Philippines.
Putin - Obama. 70 minute full-time bout
Obama was offended...
[right]"Everything is lost". Russia is threatened with "isolation" again...
But Putin, the Chinese have filed a red carpet. Putin also didn’t hit the face in the dirt: he brought to Comrade C his favorite delicacy - ice cream from Moscow. And the conversation between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping was not as “secret” as the conversation with B.H. Obama. Probably, after tedious explanations because of the ramp, the walkway, Susan Rice, the journalists, and the airport’s territorial affiliation, the American president no longer wants to explain to the ironic public. And what can Obama say new things? In essence, the topics are hackneyed and predictable: Ukraine, Minsk-2, sanctions, “isolation”, and the like. All of these topics smoothly or not very smoothly move on to the next US president, who will sit on the throne in January 2017. Obama and Putin are well aware that in the months remaining until January in relations between the two states, nothing will change. There is no reason to believe that Obama secretly presented Putin with a button labeled "reset" (or "overload").

Dot or comma?
At the plenary meeting of the Eastern Economic Forum (WEF), held in Vladivostok, Shinzo Abe and Vladimir Putin spoke. The public dialogue went on "you." Abe suggested putting an end to the “abnormal situation,” but Putin noted that each side has its own vision of the island issue.
It can be assumed that some very specific decision related to the “northern territories” will be made by the Kremlin in the near future. And it will be about specifics, and not about the next promises or the appointment of a date for new negotiations. Presumably, Shinzo Abe wants to come close to the historical compromise at the end of this year. And it is possible that Moscow will give way to Tokyo by agreeing to the implementation of the conditions of the said declaration from 1956 of the year (return of two of the four islands to the Japanese).
On the other hand, such an act of “goodwill”, even if leading to the conclusion of a long-awaited peace treaty, can at least be ambiguously interpreted by the Russian public. However, here are some possible solutions that mitigate the transfer of the islands. For example, the Kremlin sets forth certain conditions for the joint use of island territories. And only later, for example, 99 years, the islands are completely transferred to Japan.
We should not forget about the geopolitical factor: the rapprochement of Russia with Japan, especially on the island “theme”, will not like the Russian partner China, who has its territorial disputes with Japan, which are much tougher.

All the same
The Russian parliamentarians, who were visited by representatives of the top of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, put forward a number of conditions for their participation in the January session of the PACE. Recall that a PACE delegation led by chairman Pedro Agramunt arrived in Moscow the day before with a proposal to “restore dialogue”.
During the briefing, the speaker of the lower house of the Russian parliament, Sergei Naryshkin, outlined the position of the Russian side to return to PACE: “First, there should not be such that for any reason any parliamentary delegation from any country is deprived of its powers, part of its powers and rights. All countries that are members of the Council of Europe have the same rights, which means that monitoring should be the same for all countries. ”

The PACE delegation had no choice but to make a promise. The envoys promised to consider the proposals of the Russian side.
I wonder how they will adjust the "monitoring"? How will some make it the same "in relation to all countries"? We will wait for how the brave representatives of the PACE will deprive a couple of European countries of the right to vote and then say to Russia: “You see, and we can… that.”

The Pentagon claims that the Russian Su-27 intercepted an American reconnaissance aircraft P-8 over the Black Sea. As stated by Reuters, a source in the US military, "the interception was made unsafe and unprofessional."
The Russian Ministry of Defense has its own version of “unsafe and unprofessional” interception.
September, the P-7 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft of the US Navy attempted to approach the state border of the Russian Federation over the Black Sea without transponders on, twice, the commentary published by Facebook office said. From the Belbek airbase, Su-8 fighters on duty were raised, after approaching to identify and determine the flight numbers, American aircraft "sharply changed course and flew in the opposite direction from the Russian state border." The Russian pilots acted in strict accordance with the international rules of air operations, the Defense Ministry noted.

Restraining "Iskander"
Since last fall, the Russian armed forces have been participating in hostilities in Syria. The bulk of the combat work is carried out by airplanes and helicopters of the Aerospace Forces. In addition, an air defense group and a marine base were deployed. Naval ships and submarines take a definite part in the operation. fleet. Ground forces are involved in the operation to a limited extent. One of their tasks, as claimed over the past few months, is to deter some likely opponents using Iskander operational-tactical missile systems.

Shortly after its appearance, the operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) 9K720 "Iskander" became the topic of discussion of not only technical, but also military-political nature. The possibility of hitting targets at ranges of up to several hundred kilometers made this system not only a powerful example of modern weapons, but also an effective means of influencing the political situation. The tactical and technical characteristics and the military-political potential of the complex regularly became an occasion for discussion in the context of various events. Therefore, it was completely natural that such conversations resumed even after the start of the Russian operation in Syria.

From C-300 to NPP
News agencies have published two important news regarding Russian-Iranian relations. The first news is related to the fact that Tehran has already delivered more than half of the contractual anti-aircraft missile systems C-300 (as the realization of the very contract for the non-fulfillment of which the Iranians were already going to claim more than a substantial fine from Moscow). The remaining complexes across the Caspian will be sent to Iran before the end of 2016.
The second news is about agreements in the energy sector. The press service of Rosatom has spread a message stating that the construction of the Bushehr-2 nuclear power plant in Iran will start on September 10. The report says that the nuclear power plant will be built on the latest safety technologies.

Recalling the recent history of Hamadan, we hope that all plans will be successfully implemented. And no one will say in the direction of Moscow: they say, Russian sources reported everything too early, and in fact nothing of the kind is expected ...

Here are just wild capitalism, which we entered with the collapse of the USSR, imposes other rules: forgeries and bribes of the "partners" of the right people, unfair competition, information war against Russia. In such conditions, developing and conquering new markets is worth a lot!
Keep it up, atomists!
Come back later
September 5 was an interesting day for Ukraine. At the meeting of the European Parliament Committee, the majority of its members supported the granting of a visa-free regime for Georgia, and at the same time a report was approved on entering the list of states with a visa-free regime of dubious education called Kosovo. But in Ukraine there was no vote. For her, a vote on "visa-free" will take place not at the end of September, or in October. However, in Kiev, they are full of optimism and are waiting for “visa-free” in a few weeks.
On the same day, from Berlin they reported that Germany was ready to change the “Norman format”. This was stated by the head of the working staff on Ukraine’s issues at the German Foreign Ministry, Johannes Regenbrecht, at a meeting of the Open World Discussion Club. Partners will want to - and the "format" can be changed. On any.
“We are open to any format change. This is possible if partners want it. Currently, the Ukrainian partners say that the current “Norman format” is a functional structure, ”the Herr Regenbrecht newspaper, Vzglyad, quotes the vague remarks.
However, the Germans are not ready to give Ukraine "steer". The representative of the German Foreign Ministry immediately declared that there would be no progress without close cooperation with the United States. And he hinted that it would be good, the United States began to steer the relevant process, and even seems to rule: “We need to unite and strengthen our efforts. This is already happening. "
Thus, it is likely that, along with a small German “proofreading” of agreements on Ukraine (the new regulations, and at the same time promoting a different “format” with the participation of the United States), the European Parliament will soon be given a green light on the visa-free regime.
We will know about some new conditions that the EU will undoubtedly put forward for Kiev before 15 September. This day is the last for any changes in the report on Ukraine’s inclusion in the list of countries to which the EU will grant visa-free travel.

We realized!
Sofia intends to assess the economic feasibility of the construction project in the port of Varna distribution center for natural gas. The center will cost around 1,5 billion euros. It could serve for the storage and transportation of gas from the Russian Federation and the Caspian region to South-Eastern and Central Europe, Mixednews.ru reports, citing maritime-executive.com. A new plan for the Bulgarians arose after Gazprom canceled the South Stream gas pipeline project. The proposed gas transmission hub would allow Bulgaria to use both the gas pipeline branches that it builds with Greece, Serbia, Romania and Turkey, and the underwater gas pipeline from Russia.
True, Sofia has no money. Bulgarians are hoping for funds from foreign investors. If investors were found, the construction of the site would start ... in 2021 year.

However, it's not just investors. Like it or not, and without Russia, the project does not work. However, without the consent of the European Union and other interested forces and parties, it also will not work. Politics is everywhere ahead of the economy. And somehow it happened that the unfortunate Bulgarians are tight on all sides, and as a result they have neither money nor gas.
Therefore, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov called on Brussels to participate in a meeting with Russia and help advance the gas distribution project. Borisov made rather sharp statements. He told the meeting of investors that this time it is impossible to “allow to bypass Bulgaria”. And he said to the European Commission: "That is why you must help us and help speed up the work."
A little more, and Borisov would have ordered the European Commissioners to take up welding machines and begin to lay pipes in the direction of Bulgaria.
And what about Russia? Is Borisov sure that she will be able to convince of the expediency of the new initiative? After all, for this, Moscow should be persuaded to lay a gas pipeline along the seabed to Bulgaria. That is, the Kremlin must believe that the Bulgarians have now become much more compliant and that the time has come to plan Russian gas supplies to Central Europe through the proposed distribution hub. At the same time, the Kremlin must somehow believe that the European Commission will also become more compliant. This is at the time of endlessly prolonged sanctions!
Recall, precisely because of the inflexible position of European commissioners, Moscow refused to “Yuzhny”. In fact, he was replaced by the “Turkish Stream” (the true reason for the current activity of Sofia). And the Bulgarians, who whispered in their ears, not only the European Commissioners, but also the US Senator McCain (where America is, and where Bulgaria is!), Remained at the bottom of the trough.
