Results of the week. "He reads nothing at all, except for the artillery tables"
The Regnum news agency reports that the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is considering the possibility of Belarus withdrawing from the Eurasian Economic Union and the Collective Security Treaty Organization. Belarusian official sources do not confirm such information at the moment.
Lukashenko is going to withdraw Belarus from the EAEU and the CSTO
"We do not need a Russian base, we need Russian planes"
The week ended with a big press conference by Butky, during which the city and the world learned that Alexander Grigorievich didn’t need anything from Russia, that Belarus had its own oil for 35 years, that Bortnikov and Dankvert were the main enemies of Belarusian freedom and independence, of the customs structures of the EEU, all Belarusian specialists should be recalled, and that, in general, the Russian leadership could “get burned”.
On the Russian side, the bull wasn’t pulled by the tail or even for a long time, and the meat of these bulls, if they come from Minsk, was banned from deliveries to the Russian Federation. Dankvert - he, of course, is not Gennady Onishchenko, but also knows perfectly well when bacteria, viruses and other sticks with fungi suddenly start up in meat from the Republic of Belarus.

Severe Russian drilling platforms
Ukrainian media today show photos of holes in the fuselage of the An-26 aircraft of the Ukrainian Navy, which, according to the Dumskaya portal, carried out “circling the Odessa gas field” over the Black Sea. The specified Internet resource referring to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak claims that the plane of Naval Forces of Ukraine was fired from small weapons from a drilling rig owned by Russia. In the interpretation of Kiev, the rig was previously "captured by Russia."
Ukraine appeals to the ICC about the "Russian shelling" of the An-26 aircraft
Ukrainian Navy published photos of the shelled ship "Pochaev"
The Ukrainian defense department, headed by General Poltorak, made statements and photographs of the “shelling” of its An-26 over the Black Sea, which revealed a terrible military secret “non-blocking”. Firstly, in Ukrainian aviation there are such aces that can perform aerobatics (up to a lengthy flight “belly up”) on transport aircraft - the mentioned An-26, for example. Well, how else to explain the demonstrated "bullet holes" at the top of the fuselage of this aircraft. Secondly, in the presence of such aces, the Ukrainian army as a whole is inferior in terms of combat equipment and performance characteristics to Russian drilling platforms in the Black Sea ... Certainly, there will be no surprise if the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports that every Russian oil rig in the Black Sea has an arsenal of at least a dozen “Caliber”, or even “Topol” ...

Recently, the representative of the Lithuanian parliament announced that the post-war borders, you see, are outdated, Kaliningrad needs almost to be renamed back to Konigsberg and “returned to Europe”. The argument is: "Russia has revised the post-war borders, annexing the Crimea, which means that Europe also needs to reconsider the borders of Russia."
A look from Vilnius: Russia lost its rights to the Kaliningrad region
Russian senator responded to the Lithuanian deputy to the call "to return Kaliningrad to Europe"
The Lithuanian deputy is a serious person, of course, but if you seriously pay attention to each such deputy from the Baltic “tiger” countries, then no emotions will ultimately be enough. That’s billing the littepa to the fact that while he was sitting in his chair, the Russian taxpayers “as assignees” paid off gigantic debts and for him too, quite ... completely ... So, drive the ruble, the “relative”! ..

In the large German edition of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, material appeared with reference to representatives of the German government commenting on the situation in the Donbas. The article says about the fault of Kiev for the new escalation of the conflict.
Kiev recognized the fact of the onset of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass
“And for what?”
The Ukrainian leadership has decided to catch "political and financial bonuses" according to their usual pattern. So that the fighters did not freeze and suddenly did not decide to warm themselves with burning tires in Kiev, they were again thrown against the population of Donbass. According to 3 with more than a thousand shelling per day - a full range of calibers, and under the guise of residential houses Avdiivka, from which the civilian population was not evacuated, except for those who left the front-line city itself. Under fire, virtually all of Donetsk. OSCE flashed heels ...

The secret is simple - power does not depend on the people. She is not accountable to the people. And it has no restrictions on lawlessness. As long as people do not organize themselves and do not begin to defend their rights, any smallest clerk will feel unpunished, and any smallest gangster will be able to terrorize the whole district. And when these clerk and gangster become friends, the local people can only sympathize.
Where are they to grub now?
On the official portal of legal information published a decision of the President (Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces) of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. The decision (Decree No. 47 of February 2 of 2017) concerns the removal from office of 16 generals of various departments, including the Investigation Committee, the Emergencies Ministry and the Ministry of the Interior of Russia. The reasons for this kind of decisions are currently not reported.
The headlines about the release from office of 16 representatives of the generals immediately gave rise to conspiracy: “Putin revealed a terrible generals conspiracy and with a stroke of a pen the conspirators deprived of soil under their feet. Previously, it was the luminary gallows, and now we are a civilized state - and therefore an honorable pension and weaning from the feeders. ” Given the fact that the Kremlin’s official comments even a few days after the presidential decree has not been published, it can be assumed that such folk conspiracy in general is like the Kremlin.

In the near future in the Russian Federation may change the principle of payment for issuing licenses for weapons. Instead of one-time fees Rosgvardiya proposes to introduce the state duty, as provided by the tax code.

Freedom to corruption?
Mass popular protests are held in the Romanian capital. The streets of Bucharest and other cities filled tens of thousands of protesters who put forward certain demands on state authorities. Protesters demand to reconsider the decision on amnesty, adopted for the sake of a known category of prisoners. In the near future, former high-ranking officials who have been convicted of crimes of a corruption nature, which have caused the Romanian budget major damage, may be left free.
The discontent of the people is connected with the hasty introduction of amendments to the penal code bypassing parliament. Amnesty and decriminalization of corruption offenses were announced, and the mitigation measure concerns offenders bribetakers, embezzlers and other terry state pickpockets who caused relatively “minor” damage to the Romanian treasury — put in their pockets 200 thousand lei or less (i.e. less than 44 thousand euros) .
The bill was approved by the Romanian government late in the evening on January 31, and on the night of February 1 was published in the Official Monitor. The decree provides for pardon of a large category of prisoners sentenced to terms of less than five years.
The current government of Romania, headed by Sorin Grindianu, came to power recently, in December last year. The Social Democratic Party then won the election. Interestingly, members of this party messed with themselves in a number of corruption scandals. Many in recent years have been tried and then imprisoned on charges of corruption.
And now the authorities intend to release all these party members. Despite popular protests, the Cabinet does not intend to abandon the new decree. But what to say, if the rulers do not want to repeal their law even in spite of criticism of the European Union!

But I want not to row under the “Maidan” any protest in any country. There are features. And most importantly, you will thus strangle in yourselves any popular movement out of fear of the Maidan. That is, this fear you have a plus: stability, protection from external interference. But there is also a minus: the authorities, knowing this, will use this dishonestly, and any protests will be suffocated by the sticky name “Maidan” and statements like “now is not the time”. “Now is not the time” will be forever, I assure you. And no one will let you relax so that you can protest normally and deal with your compradors. Voltage will always be.
In general, think the mind. Include the brain: Independence protest or not. Who benefits? That's when you can defend against the "Maidan", and not when everything is the same comb.

Do not believe the press: Trump sanctions against Russia did not soften
American military experts are panicking: arguing on the possible cancellation of anti-Russian sanctions, they note that after the cancellation, the Russian bear may turn into a “monster”. The Russian defense ministry will gain access to state technology, and Putin will further strengthen Russia's military potential.
And then one more news added fuel to the fire: Washington allegedly decided to partially remove the sanctions regime against the FSB of the Russian Federation. We are talking about a decision taken with the United States on the basis of the “General license No. XXUMX”, which was published by a division of the US Treasury responsible for sanctions policy. The document states that the US Treasury Department allows transactions in which one of the counterparties is the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation and which were prohibited by decrees of the US President in April 1 and December 2015.
However, this news was quite "raw", if not more. As the Financial Times newspaper found out, the US Treasury only clarified the procedure for applying sanctions against the FSB imposed by the Obama administration. Refinement notes Newsru.com, was done because of complaints from US companies Microsoft and Cisco, as well as business groups.
Reports of easing by the US Treasury of anti-Russian restrictive measures have already been refuted by the US administration and Trump personally, the publication points out. According to White House spokesman Shaun Spicer, this is a routine procedure for clarifying exceptions for various industries or products.
The experts of the publication described the changes made by the Ministry of Finance as a normal regulatory setting in favor of American companies, but not Russia at all.
“Everyone needs to step back and take a deep breath,” says the publication of the words of international trade lawyer in Washington, Doug Jacobson. He noted that these clarifications are by no means Trump's present to his Russian counterpart Putin.
How not to disgrace before the Russians
US partially lifted sanctions from the FSB
Recall that in the 2014 year, the United States imposed a series of sanctions against various Russian defense and commodity companies. In the "black list" appear Uralvagonzavod, "Almaz-Antey", NPO mechanical engineering, the structure of "Rostec", including concerns "Kalashnikov" "Radio-electronic technologies", etc.
Obama's list is constantly updated. The latest sanctions imposed by 30 December 2016 of the year included the FSB, the GRU, the autonomous non-profit organization Professional Association of Informatics System Designers (Zelenograd), Special Technology Center LLC (St. Petersburg), and TsOR Security Company (Digital Weapon and protection ").
Experts believe that the introduction of additional sanctions Barack Obama tried to complicate the establishment of Russian-American relations as much as possible after the change of the White House administration. And today, as we see, US defense experts insist on maintaining anti-Russian sanctions in full scale.
And Mr. Trump is not inclined to object to these experts. Yes, and why would suddenly? It is difficult to imagine that the "hegemon" bowed to the "developing" country.

Well, let us proceed from the philosophy of Marx, namely, to answer the question: who benefits?
Firstly, both Trump and Putin have the same opponents. These are globalists. Which unites the interests of the two countries.
Globalists seize the sovereignties of all countries through an economic system into which all countries of the world are integrated.
Proceeding from the statement above, it is beneficial for the USA to free Russia from sanctions. From an economic point of view, it is even beneficial to globalists. Why? Because it increases the turnover of goods and money. And, as is clear, with each unit of turnover, the bank (globalists), the dollar and the United States receive revenues.
But Russia is punished for leading an independent policy and not willing to share material resources. Therefore - sanctions.
What can be expected as a result?
Most likely, the sanctions will be canceled, quietly turning a blind eye to the little mischief of the satellite countries of the United States. Trump could pompously announce it louder, but decided not to stir up a known substance. All the bumps for improper sanctions would Obama. Therefore, they decided quickly and switched to another topic.
Presumably, the GDP with D. Trump was discussed by the globalists against the US policy in connection with the coming to power of Trump. In particular, the civil war in the United States. Well, a lot more. In short, they said how to humiliate their bosses.

Mr Trump and the "security zones"
Some Western experts believe that Moscow has outplayed its opponents in Syria: the Kremlin has managed to set up scattered groups of the Syrian opposition against each other. However, you shouldn’t rest on your laurels: in Syria, Trump is going to do business, who is eager to create “security zones” there.
In addition, the situation in Syria is not the best. On the situation in the Deir-ez-Zor region, the representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, General Sergey Rudskoy, spoke the other day. His statement leads "Interfax": "Using the overwhelming numerical superiority, the militants are incessant storming the positions of the Syrian troops. In the case of the capture of the city of its residents waiting for this genocide. The population of Deir ez-Zor can be completely exterminated. Currently, the city’s garrison, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, continues to resist ISIS terrorists ”(prohibited in the Russian Federation).
According to some reports, the militants increased the area of controlled territories to the north-west of the city after another attack on the positions of Syrian troops.
As for the security zones in Syria, in this case there is the likelihood of a direct collision with Russia. Suppose there may be such an emergency situation when the United States will have to shoot down a Syrian or Russian bomber in this zone. The consequences are unpredictable, according to US military experts.
So does Trump himself not understand this? I must understand: during the election campaign, he argued with Clinton, who was eager to create a security zone in Syria, and warned that in this case the Syrian conflict would end in a third world war. One has only to listen to Hillary - and such a war will be unleashed.
Now, it seems, other ideas dominate the White House. Opposites. Mr. Trump probably has nothing against the third world war.
By the way, in Syria there are Russian C-300 and C-400 complexes. “I remind American“ strategists ”that the air cover of the Russian military bases in Hmeimim and Tartus is carried out by the C-400 and C-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, the range of which can be a surprise for any unidentified flying objects,” said Major General Konashenkov in October 2016 of the year.
Let's wait three months. Let's see what the plan for the zones in Syria will make for his Trump ministers.

World nuclear war: from theory to practice?
One of the high-profile topics in the Western press was the discussion of the question of the survival of Russians and Chinese in a nuclear strike. The topic came, as they say, from the very top: the Strategic Command of the US Armed Forces and the office of the Director of National Intelligence together assess the ability of Moscow and Beijing to "survive a nuclear strike." In the meantime, the Institute of Cato sadly states: the “alternative” to the dialogue between the United States and the Russian Federation is “nuclear confrontation”.
Meanwhile, the Chinese military commanders declared that war with the United States during the presidency of Donald Trump was almost inevitable. About this magazine writes «Focus». According to his information, the People’s Liberation Army of China issued a statement in which one of the official representatives of the Central Military Commission of China set out its view on the current situation. “The war during the term of the current president (...) is practically a reality,” the statement said.

PLA considers war with the USA inevitable
There are other materials in the Western press that discuss the topic of a probable nuclear war between the United States and Russia, or between China and the United States. The buildup of nuclear weapons was and remains a dangerous path leading to the end of mankind. If two or three politicians, preoccupied with their ambitions, do not understand this simple truth, then let us remind them once again: one ridiculous incident or a monstrous mistake is enough, and a fatal catastrophe will lead the planet to a nuclear winter. Horrible machine gun war and tanksand yet mankind has survived many wars, small and large. But the war of missiles with nuclear warheads will be the last. Russian scientists are already offering to take the cultural values of humanity to the moon, and their idea does not seem completely crazy.
Trump must have with his statements like “Let there be an arms race. We will surpass them at every stage and survive them all! ”I really want to manage the ruins of the United States out of the ground.
Like another Republican, Bush Jr., Mr. Trump, it's time to go to a psychiatrist. However, Bush could not be cured.

Strategic chinese answer
In the Middle Kingdom, several asymmetric tactical and strategic responses are being prepared on the coming to power of the new anti-Chinese White House administration, headed by Donald Trump. The first strategic step was the deployment of mobile ground missile systems with DF-41 ICBMs in the northeastern Heilongjiang province of China, located along the Russian-Chinese border. Due to this, Beijing solved two important tasks at once: the DF-41 missiles of the 2nd artillery corps now confidently reach the East coast and southern US states, and the flight path of the DF-41 ICBMs passes not over the Republic of Korea and Japan, but over the northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk and Kamchatka (bypassing the radius of destruction of the "Ajis" and "THAADs" deployed in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the East China Sea). Moreover, the launchers of the SRF DF-41 in Heilongjiang will be covered not only by the Chinese missile defense system, but also by the S-300/400 anti-aircraft missile divisions defending Pacific installations fleet Russia in the Primorsky Territory: there is a more favorable geostrategic location of the province in absolutely every sense.
The Chinese, we note, did not stop there. The second step was the tactical measures taken by Beijing in response to the transfer of the squadron from the X-NUMX tactical fighter aircraft of the North-Eastern Air Force F-10B to the Japanese Iwakuni airbase in January 35. As it became known from the Chinese source “Sina” in 2017 in January, the aerospace giant “Chengdu” is designing several types of suspended “stealth” -containers for missile armament of tactical fighter jets of 20 generation J-5 “Black Eagle”, playing a huge role in reducing the fighter’s radar signature during anti-radar and anti-ship operations, as well as conducting long-range air combat with numerically superior enemy aircraft.

Afar no money no
The MiG-35 fighter presented last week is not really the aircraft that was offered to India in the 2011 year, it is just “an improved ground-based version of the MiG-29KR carrier-based aircraft,” National Interest claims, citing its sources in the Russian OPK.
“He has no deflected thrust vector. And the rejection of the radar with AFAR - it is rather a financial rather than a technical problem from the point of view of the purchasers, ”said the source.
And here are the analyst's conclusions: the MiG-35 is intended more for export, and Russian troops need more modern machines "with better performance."
It turns out that the MiG-35 is the last hope of the Mikoyan Design Bureau for survival in conditions when the Sukhoi company has undoubted advantages. ”

Will the man give in to the lady?
The Swedish authorities decided to change their position on Nord Stream - 2. This is a statement by the Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Vallstrom, who said that the Swedish Foreign Ministry does not object to the temporary placement of pipes for the new gas pipeline in the port of Karlshamn.
The construction of Nord Stream - 2 is carried out by the Nord Stream-2 AG group of companies. It was this business structure that appealed to the Government of Sweden to provide the opportunity to use the port of Karlshamn for pipe placement.
Earlier, the official Stockholm proposal was going to be rejected. In the Swedish Ministry of Defense, they began to voice strange statements that “with the help of Gazprom's pipes,“ Russian special services can monitor the actions of the Swedish Navy. ” These statements were commented, not without irony, in the Swedish media, but Defense Minister Peter Hultquist still opposes pipe unloading at Karlshamn, arguing that his position is “Russian threat”.
Pipes, we add, is an extremely dangerous thing. Everyone in the world knows that it is to Gazprom’s pipes that the cable television of the brand “RT” is connected, as well as the Kremlin’s direct propaganda line with Putin’s voice, broadcasting 24 24 hours a day in pure Swedish.
Obviously, a major pipe conflict is brewing between the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden. Maybe a man give the lady?

When will Russia become Pakistan?
Very soon, in thirteen years, Russia will become less dangerous than even some Iran. This is reported by a number of experts whose conclusions agree. The reasons for the weakening of Russia by 2030 year will be low oil prices with gas and the extinction of the population. There is no need for the US to fight the Russians, as well as the Chinese. The Americans and the Chinese will already be economic winners: both economies, unlike the Russian ones, will flourish.
If oil and gas prices remain low, some experts believe, and Russia will not advance its other economic sectors, then there is no point in waiting for the Russian economy to reach at least half of the UK economy, even one quarter or one eighth of the year by 2050. At that time, Russia will be compared with Pakistan: a country with a bad economy and a nuclear arsenal.
Note that such estimates, coupled with predictions about the imminent weakening of Russia, sharply differ from the official point of view, which was previously voiced by Messrs. Joseph Dunford, Mark Milly and James Mattis (appointed US Secretary of Defense). All these people put the "threat" of Russia in the first place.
