Does he still love money? ..
The announced arrival of the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, did not take place this week, which added fuel to the fire of a certain tension between Minsk and Moscow.
No, well, if everything rests solely on money, then it was necessary to sign a marriage contract. If everything still for you his (her) rose blossomed, then everything by points - oil for so much, gas for so much, Belarusian salmon and shrimp - so many megatons, jamon - so much ... Failure of the regime marriage contract - a blanket over himself and facing the wall. So Alexander Grigorievich turned away (though without written commitments to “legitimize” this kind of relationship). And then, after all, it can “go to my mother”.

The arms race in the media
Information sources report that the first tests of the Zircon hypersonic missile will be carried out at navy this spring already. The report said that we are talking about the beginning of sea trials of this latest Russian missile.
If during the first cold war the arms race was expressed almost in the daily combat duty of the newest models weapons (in the USSR and the USA), then the second cold war dictates its terms. An "arms race" could well be waged through social networks and the media. This is how nuclear super-torpedoes and laser guns on the MiG-35 suddenly “pop up”, which are about to enter service, and hypersonic missiles, the development of which has been going on, in fact, for several decades and is “entering the final stage”. The Americans will respond to Russian messages with their own - about how they created a super swarm from mini-drones, capable of overcoming any air defense-missile defense system, and how the plans for printing were implemented robots-warriors on a 3D printer...

The newest Russian 300-mm volley fire system Tornado-S will receive a long-range high-precision guided missile with a guidance system based on GLONASS signals. At this stage, it is in a high degree of technical readiness and is being tested.
Well, here ... And someone said, why do we need this GLONASS? What, we, they say, do not get to the destination on the road atlas or even on their “GPP-Esa”, or what? .. Let us get there, who can argue ... But the rockets may not reach. Just do not get ... And because GLONASS to help!

"Pechenegs-SP" went to the series
At the Kovrov plant them. Degtyarev released the first industrial batch of modernized Pecheneg-SP machine guns. The weapon is equipped with a Picatinny rail for attaching the 1P89-3 unified telescopic sight.
The main advantage in comparison with the usual version of “Pechenega” is called, as they say today, ergonomics and high mobility of a military man armed with a modernized version, for example, when he performs special operations in a populated area. Some citizens decided that this was not modernization, but only “light smoothing”. Well, if the modernization of a small arms unit is understood to be no less than a radical revision of the caliber and the use of exclusively adjustable ammunition, then — yes — the term “modernization” is too ambitious ...

Poroshenko in search of the Russian army in the Donbass
Armed forces of the Armed Forces are concentrating forces for possible offensive operations in the region of Avdeevka and Debaltseve. According to our information, yesterday a large column of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced from the settlement of Izyum in the Kharkiv region to the so-called ATO zone - Tanks, Self-propelled guns, MLRS "Grad" and "Hurricane", infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, vehicles with personnel and ammunition.
Meanwhile, Poroshenko, visiting the Carpathian region, once again announced that the Ukrainian army is so strong that it can afford to restrain the continent’s strongest army - the Russian one. In this statement, the radicals drew attention to the final part, accusing the president of Ukraine of "encouraging the aggressor." Indeed, how did it happen that Poroshenko called the Russian army the strongest on the continent, and in fact, according to the plan of the “patriotic communities”, he had to declare that the Russian army was long gone, because it was completely and utterly killed somewhere near Uglegorsk, that the Russian army was "rotten in corruption" and so on. But if “there is no army” or “it is rotten,” then a paradox would emerge - who then, in such a case, is being restrained by ukrovsko? ..

No.1. In the Syrian province of Idlib, heterogeneous militant groups destroy each other without mercy. Islamists devour other Islamists like spiders in a bank. The war of the factions in the hand of B. Assad, so his army does not interfere.
No.2. On the Internet, information that appeared in one of the Arabic-language blogs is being exaggerated. Supposedly Yemeni Husits launched a rocket attack on the Saudi capital, Riyadh. However, in the Saudi press information is not confirmed, and some sources report that a meteorite fragment fell several kilometers from a military base east of Riyadh.
Interestingly, the militants in Idlib inherit not only from each other, but also from the American coalition. According to the Al-Jazeera channel and other sources, there are American drones and aviation international coalition. Air strikes seem to destroy field commanders. True, the White House has not officially announced this yet. In addition, everyone knows how sad the accuracy of the American military sometimes reach ...

US "tense" in the Persian Gulf
The Pentagon stated that the US military contingent in the countries of the Persian Gulf and the separate forces of the American fleet in the Gulf itself are being put on high alert. This is due to the growing tensions with Iran and the “concern over the general state of combat readiness of the troops.”
Recall, the US president declared Iran the number one terrorist state in the world. In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump said: “Iran does not respect us at all. This is the number one terrorist state. They send money and weapons everywhere. ”
That's where the tension came from: Trump said the Pentagon saluted.

Unintentional blow
Turkish media published materials claiming that as a result of air strikes inflicted by Russian VKS airplanes on the positions of militants "IG" (prohibited by the Russian Federation), three Turkish soldiers were killed and 11 were injured. At the same time, the reports say that the strike was unintentional, and the Turkish military allegedly became its victims due to the fact that their positions were too close to the positions of the terrorists at the time of the hostilities.
At the same time, the Turkish media (in particular, the news agency "Anadolu") write on a topic that, it would seem, has long been exhausted, since it was initially based on many fakes. The point is that the servicemen of the Syrian government army allegedly "used chemical weapons against the Syrian opposition." Naturally, no evidence has been provided, except for cadres from representatives of the “opposition” itself, claiming the use of prohibited weapons.
The Turkish media publish all these statements against the background of materials on the American television channel Fox News, where it was announced on the air that Russia allegedly attacked Idlib with the Tochka-U and Iskander missiles. The official representative of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Major General Igor Konashenkov, denied information.
As for the unintended air strike and the death of the Turkish military, the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation confirmed this as a fact. Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Erdogan in connection with the death of soldiers of the Turkish Armed Forces.

Sisyphus will pay for everything
The leaders of the European Union countries at an informal summit in the capital of Malta discussed the most important issue for the countries of Southern Europe - illegal immigration from Africa. Last year, over 180 thousands of Africans passed through Malta to the continent.
European politicians openly talked about the possible expulsion of African refugees to their homeland. The British “The Times” writes that a plan is being prepared for the deportation of 400 order of thousands of “illegal immigrants”. It was primarily about “economic migrants” from Niger, Mali, Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Commenting on this news, a representative of the International Organization for Migration, Joel Millman, estimated the cost of the proposed deportation ... to billions of dollars. These money will have to lay out the European states. “This is a very high price,” Millman told reporters. - To deport thousands of people who subsequently return. They can return for the second time, and the third, and the fourth. And governments will have to spend more money. ”
Amazingly, only this expert came to mind with such an interesting conclusion. After all, this is nothing but labor of Sisyphus! Only in the myth were a mountain and a stone, and here Sisyphus would also have to fork out!

Are the kuriles already Japanese? And Putin does not know!
The Japanese media started a fake carousel: they told about the creation of the Council to discuss “joint economic activities with Russia in the northern territories”, and then announced the transfer of the South Kuril Islands to Russia under the temporary jurisdiction of Tokyo. In some mass media, the reason for such a “decision” of the Kremlin was revealed: it turns out that Moscow did it because of the sanctions: they say, “the sanctions supported by Japan put too much pressure on the country and Putin”. And immediately on social networks, a wave of approval of “Tokyo’s tough actions against Moscow” rose.
In the Kremlin, however, they did not believe the Japanese press.
TASS published a statement by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation. According to Dmitry Peskov, "the origin of these statements is not clear."
The Russian press could develop in a satirical way the themes raised by the Japanese "colleagues". Say, tell the world public about the planned entry of the Japanese Federal District into the Russian Federation, the expulsion of the American military from Okinawa, and even the future construction of communism along the Moscow-Tokyo party line.

Chronic Loser McCain
US President Donald Trump entered into a correspondence skirmish with Republican Senator (party member) John McCain. McCain criticized the executive for "failing" the operation in Yemen. The word "failure" McCain applied after it became known about the death in Yemen of an American soldier and the success of the Houthis.
The American president did not leave McCain’s response unanswered. In his "Twitter", he recorded: "He (McCain) only encourages the enemy! He loses constantly and no longer knows how to win. It is because of this that we witness the chaos that reigns everywhere. ”
An old McCain is clearly losing political positions. After the senator’s combat performance on Trump’s Twitter account, the presidential administration’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, also signed on to the press. He demanded a formal apology from McCain.
A bit more, and an elderly politician will be called to a duel.

Cure for war
Foreign experts express two opposing points of view. The first in the person of the notorious Robert Kagan call on Washington to "contain" Russia and China; the latter require “realism” in geopolitical approaches and consider the promotion of “Western values” simply stupid. Each side hints that in the event of a different approach, a world war could begin.
R. Kagan brought out “two lines” in the modern world: 1) the growth of ambitions and the activity of two great revisionist powers - Russia and China; 2) a decline in the trust of the democratic world (especially the United States) "to itself". Both the first and second threaten the dominant position that the democratic world has occupied in the international system since 1945, the author points out. As these two trends converge, and the growing desire and ability of the “revisionist powers” is about to change it, the world may be at a point when the existing order “collapses”. The planet will enter “into a phase of cruel anarchy,” as has already happened “three times in the past two centuries.” The cost of this catastrophe "will be staggering."
A completely different point of view is expressed by Sumantra Maitra, a postgraduate doctoral student, a researcher at the School of Politics and International Relations of the University of Nottingham (UK). According to this analyst, “artificially inflating threats” from Russia will not lead to anything good.
In recent years, the “imperative” of the West, recalls this author, has revolved around the spread and protection of the notorious “values”, rather than narrow geostrategic “interests”. Meanwhile, the strategy of values is something that can not be implemented in practice: this can neither be achieved nor maintained. To achieve the protection of "values", the West would have to simultaneously "balance" China and Russia, somehow stabilize the Middle East, and generally tirelessly promote democracy throughout the world. The goal is unattainable; not one great power, including the Soviet Union at its peak, has ever even approached world hegemony. Therefore, such a desire is "nonsense."
American hawks like R. Kagan, we add, however, insist on keeping Russia and China in no way difficult by analyzing the ability of the US to perform such a large-scale task. Russia today is not quite what it was in the second half of the 1990-ies after rapid disarmament and several years of cheap oil, but there’s nothing to say about China, just look at its gigantic army and washed islands in the sea. If the United States under Obama did not dare to stick his nose in Syria (although the ships were already approaching the area of action) and get a conflict of interest with Russia, how can the United States take over Russia and China at the same time, and at the same time the Middle East?
Realism is the best medicine for the new world war. Comrade Maitra will not lie to Kagan.

Bill is preparing an apology
Fox News host, who during an interview with Donald Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin "a murderer," said he did not intend to ask for an apology. The day before, the Kremlin’s press service noted that the statements of the American journalist Bill O'Reilly clearly went beyond professionalism. According to Dmitry Peskov, Mr. O'Reilly would have to think about apologies to the President of the Russian Federation.
O'Reilly thought and stated: “I’m working on an apology, only it will take some time. You can check it out in 2023 this year. ”
O'Reilly's answer only extended the chain of his insolence. In essence, the TV reporter made it clear that he would call Putin the way he wanted, all the time Putin was supposed to be in power in Russia, that is, until the 2024 year.
A kind of response to Bill O'Reilly gave channel "RT"which gathered a small collection of reviews of the scandalous American leader. In particular, the face of "Fox News" called "pig" and "sexist". The latter is no coincidence: Bill was repeatedly accused of sexual harassment, for which he was sued. Such is the standard of ethics.

Only yesterday I watched and listened to a video interview with Misha Tolstoy (Givi), recorded after his injury. If I am not mistaken, the interview was recorded in the office of Givi. I first learned his real name.
Givi was recently wounded, but the very next day he was back in the ranks. War does not allow time for full recovery, especially now.
I also thought then that Givi is a real Warrior, Defender of the people and a real Hero!
And involuntarily against his background, I remembered his antipode - the nasty image of a coward-entrepreneur Semyon Semenchenko, who successfully profit from the war (his people recently blew up the railway to deliver coal from the Donbass to Ukraine), on the mountain of humans and .
Life is very unfair, Givi! But you, Givi, were for many their TRUE Guardian Angel!
Givi lived his life with dignity and fairness, and died a warrior in his post - in battle formation!
The bright memory of the People's Hero Michael Tolstoy!
Our most sincere condolences to comrades of Givi, his family and relatives, as well as to the citizens of the courageous Novorossia - the DPR and the LPR!

As for “Putin has no alternative” and should be left for two more terms, it cannot be considered as serious proposals.
There must be an alternative to Putin, this cannot be. What Russia poorer prominent political figures?
In addition, the election of the President should not be considered as an election of a particular person to this high post, but the CHOICE of the POLITICAL COURSE of Russia's development.
What is the political course of Putin V.V. we know this is a way to strengthen the oligarchic, predatory for the people and Russia, liberal capitalism, making Russia a raw materials appendage of the West.
Is there an alternative to this course? Of course have! This is the way of a social, industrialized state, with different forms of ownership, including the fundamental state property, with a course towards new industrialization, the restoration of people's power in opposition to the authority of the bureaucratic.
Therefore, friends, discard these imposed ideas. "Putin has no alternative." Remember, we will choose a non-political leader, CHOOSING WILL BE A COURSE OF RUSSIA'S DEVELOPMENT. And there should be an alternative, it is impossible that it did not exist in the current state of affairs in Russia.
What about Khodorkovsky? It is time to stop mentioning his name, he has long been in the political trash bin.

For the presidential elections in Russia, the" West "is preparing ahead of time. And do not worry - the" West "is able to wait.
I served
The country's main defense department launches the “I Served” project with the hashtag # I served (for social networks). All those who served in the ranks of the Russian (Soviet) Army and Navy can take part in the project.
But the action is interesting. If the RF Ministry of Defense, for example, were not limited solely to hashtags on the Internet, but released I Served Badges, then by the number of employees who want to become owners of such a badge, you can financially “beat off” not only the funds for the operation in Syria, but and, perhaps, the whole and the modernization program of the Russian army. We have already entered the market ...

History in the subject:
Teachings DVO 80-s. The group of “saboteurs” in the special forces camouflage (which many had not seen in the troops) followed the route to the bridge across the Amur river. The object on which the construction battalion company worked was not naturally marked on the map, and the company there and there followed the lead lieutenant, with the crowbars and shovels. The senior lieutenant, not recognizing “his own”, and shouting “surround” moved the Uzbeks, the Georgians, to the attack. Special Forces, seeing that it was revealed by the military with a very unusual "weapon", was forced to surrender according to the rules of the exercises. It came to the commander of the fleet. The senior lieutenant was thanked for vigilance, but according to rumors, after the report, laughter was heard at the Pacific Fleet headquarters on the whole floor.

Tornado on GLONASS
The newest Russian 300-mm volley fire system Tornado-S will receive a long-range high-precision guided missile with a guidance system based on GLONASS signals. At this stage, it is in a high degree of technical readiness and is being tested.
Well, here ... And someone said, why do we need this GLONASS? What, we, they say, do not get to the destination on the road atlas or even on their “GPP-Esa”, or what? .. Let us get there, who can argue ... But the rockets may not reach. Just do not get ... And because GLONASS to help!

"Pechenegs-SP" went to the series
At the Kovrov plant them. Degtyarev released the first industrial batch of modernized Pecheneg-SP machine guns. The weapon is equipped with a Picatinny rail for attaching the 1P89-3 unified telescopic sight.
The main advantage in comparison with the usual version of “Pechenega” is called, as they say today, ergonomics and high mobility of a military man armed with a modernized version, for example, when he performs special operations in a populated area. Some citizens decided that this was not modernization, but only “light smoothing”. Well, if the modernization of a small arms unit is understood to be no less than a radical revision of the caliber and the use of exclusively adjustable ammunition, then — yes — the term “modernization” is too ambitious ...

I think Pecheneg is not worse. In general, as experience suggests, weapons are either good or very good.

Poroshenko in search of the Russian army in the Donbass
Armed forces of the Armed Forces are concentrating forces for possible offensive operations in the region of Avdeevka and Debaltseve. According to our information, yesterday a large column of military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced from the settlement of Izyum in the Kharkiv region to the so-called ATO zone - Tanks, Self-propelled guns, MLRS "Grad" and "Hurricane", infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, vehicles with personnel and ammunition.
APU artillery and tanks to attack in the area Avdeevka and Debaltseve
Donbass today: Kiev simply sells the war. But you have to pay for it.
Donbass today: Kiev simply sells the war. But you have to pay for it.
Meanwhile, Poroshenko, visiting the Carpathian region, once again announced that the Ukrainian army is so strong that it can afford to restrain the continent’s strongest army - the Russian one. In this statement, the radicals drew attention to the final part, accusing the president of Ukraine of "encouraging the aggressor." Indeed, how did it happen that Poroshenko called the Russian army the strongest on the continent, and in fact, according to the plan of the “patriotic communities”, he had to declare that the Russian army was long gone, because it was completely and utterly killed somewhere near Uglegorsk, that the Russian army was "rotten in corruption" and so on. But if “there is no army” or “it is rotten,” then a paradox would emerge - who then, in such a case, is being restrained by ukrovsko? ..

There are two of them, and both made noise.

No.2. On the Internet, information that appeared in one of the Arabic-language blogs is being exaggerated. Supposedly Yemeni Husits launched a rocket attack on the Saudi capital, Riyadh. However, in the Saudi press information is not confirmed, and some sources report that a meteorite fragment fell several kilometers from a military base east of Riyadh.
Interestingly, the militants in Idlib inherit not only from each other, but also from the American coalition. According to the Al-Jazeera channel and other sources, there are American drones and aviation international coalition. Air strikes seem to destroy field commanders. True, the White House has not officially announced this yet. In addition, everyone knows how sad the accuracy of the American military sometimes reach ...

US "tense" in the Persian Gulf
The Pentagon stated that the US military contingent in the countries of the Persian Gulf and the separate forces of the American fleet in the Gulf itself are being put on high alert. This is due to the growing tensions with Iran and the “concern over the general state of combat readiness of the troops.”
Recall, the US president declared Iran the number one terrorist state in the world. In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump said: “Iran does not respect us at all. This is the number one terrorist state. They send money and weapons everywhere. ”
That's where the tension came from: Trump said the Pentagon saluted.

Moreover, the delivered complexes will only be ready-made by the fall, according to the Iranian leaders themselves.
Therefore, if they strike now, then the Iranians will have to fight back:
C-200 - she did not deliver any problems to the Americans.
“Kubom” - it was actually upgraded to “Buk”, only with old 3М9М rockets.
"Tore" - but they are few, they are on Tehran and nuclear power plants.
"Standard" - Americans are well aware of the complex.
"Hawk" - again, they are well aware of the complex.
With their Khavkom, the new missiles are being assembled on the line the Shah has set, even if the GOS has sifted through, +/– will not be a surprise.
The China-Iranian Crotal is a MD, and the complex is well known to the Americans.
“Rapiers” - by the way, they will be quite effective in “axes”.
Further, their complexes of dubious effectiveness and saturation, the same "Bavar" or their version of "Kubobuk". Well, and MANPADS wagon, cannon anti-aircraft artillery - wagon.
Tactical missiles - well, Saddam also let him, he did not help. Although there will be more much ...
Two factors are most sensitive now:
The presence of "Varshavyanok" + its small boats + 100500 high-speed semi-sakhahed-boats with 2 RCC This is all complemented by a mass of coastal-based anti-ship missiles, including camouflaged civilian trucks. What the hell is not joking, maybe they will get into someone from the US NAVI, but they will definitely arrange a traffic jam in the strait. Ah, and this will lead to the fact that the Americans will carry out all the trucks indiscriminately, with a bunch of dead Mirnyak.
Iraq, judging by the actions of the administration, they do not take this into account at all, but in vain. The current government is demonstrating the wonders of tightrope. However, in the country, the Shiites have already experienced the taste of power, almost all the war heroes are Shiites, there are a lot of motivated Shiite fighting units, and Sadr, as Maidan showed last year, can gather 50 people in Baghdad and take the parliament straight away. In the case of attacks on Iran, the map of Iraq will be played. For whom the Shiites, of course. This means that the Americans in the same Baghdad will be shot in the back and in general their survival in the siege will be minimal. Plus a few bases in Iraq. Plus SOF in Nineveh, which also have to get out of this.

Unintentional blow
Turkish media published materials claiming that as a result of air strikes inflicted by Russian VKS airplanes on the positions of militants "IG" (prohibited by the Russian Federation), three Turkish soldiers were killed and 11 were injured. At the same time, the reports say that the strike was unintentional, and the Turkish military allegedly became its victims due to the fact that their positions were too close to the positions of the terrorists at the time of the hostilities.
At the same time, the Turkish media (in particular, the news agency "Anadolu") write on a topic that, it would seem, has long been exhausted, since it was initially based on many fakes. The point is that the servicemen of the Syrian government army allegedly "used chemical weapons against the Syrian opposition." Naturally, no evidence has been provided, except for cadres from representatives of the “opposition” itself, claiming the use of prohibited weapons.
The Turkish media publish all these statements against the background of materials on the American television channel Fox News, where it was announced on the air that Russia allegedly attacked Idlib with the Tochka-U and Iskander missiles. The official representative of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, Major General Igor Konashenkov, denied information.
As for the unintended air strike and the death of the Turkish military, the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation confirmed this as a fact. Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to Erdogan in connection with the death of soldiers of the Turkish Armed Forces.

If Russia provided assistance to the Turkish military, then the coordinates for the strike were transferred from the Turkish headquarters. Someone decided to misinform. Deliberately or not, you need to understand the investigation. Russian pilots always act strictly according to the flight task.

Sisyphus will pay for everything
The leaders of the European Union countries at an informal summit in the capital of Malta discussed the most important issue for the countries of Southern Europe - illegal immigration from Africa. Last year, over 180 thousands of Africans passed through Malta to the continent.
European politicians openly talked about the possible expulsion of African refugees to their homeland. The British “The Times” writes that a plan is being prepared for the deportation of 400 order of thousands of “illegal immigrants”. It was primarily about “economic migrants” from Niger, Mali, Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Commenting on this news, a representative of the International Organization for Migration, Joel Millman, estimated the cost of the proposed deportation ... to billions of dollars. These money will have to lay out the European states. “This is a very high price,” Millman told reporters. - To deport thousands of people who subsequently return. They can return for the second time, and the third, and the fourth. And governments will have to spend more money. ”
Amazingly, only this expert came to mind with such an interesting conclusion. After all, this is nothing but labor of Sisyphus! Only in the myth were a mountain and a stone, and here Sisyphus would also have to fork out!

Are the kuriles already Japanese? And Putin does not know!
The Japanese media started a fake carousel: they told about the creation of the Council to discuss “joint economic activities with Russia in the northern territories”, and then announced the transfer of the South Kuril Islands to Russia under the temporary jurisdiction of Tokyo. In some mass media, the reason for such a “decision” of the Kremlin was revealed: it turns out that Moscow did it because of the sanctions: they say, “the sanctions supported by Japan put too much pressure on the country and Putin”. And immediately on social networks, a wave of approval of “Tokyo’s tough actions against Moscow” rose.
In the Kremlin, however, they did not believe the Japanese press.
TASS published a statement by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation. According to Dmitry Peskov, "the origin of these statements is not clear."
The Russian press could develop in a satirical way the themes raised by the Japanese "colleagues". Say, tell the world public about the planned entry of the Japanese Federal District into the Russian Federation, the expulsion of the American military from Okinawa, and even the future construction of communism along the Moscow-Tokyo party line.

Why does Russia need to conduct joint economic activities with anyone on its own land? They just let go, then you will not end up with problems. History does not teach anything. We, too, are annoyed that Yankese troops are still on the southernmost island of the Kuril Ridge, Hokkaidovo. We should solve this ...

While samurai are thinking about the joint economic development of the Kuriles, I would make a similar offer ... to the Koreans. And it will be necessary, and the Chinese. Here then to look at Tokyo!
Seoul is interested in joining the CU: it is obvious that they are interested in the market and resources. So what's up? Give a quota for seafood in their waters - this is very interesting for them, they also have little land. Well, let them build enterprises in the Kuril Islands with sales in the vehicle. Electronics is interesting - the same "Samsung" is pressed by competitors. Beijing can be loaded with infrastructure in return for the same quotas on seafood (they are still trying to poach - even if they bring order). And so the power can be there for the processing of seafood to organize.
So what then do the Japanese do? Articles like this will be written about the transfer, when there "sworn friends" have already decided everything with Moscow.
I would have arranged such competition between the three monetary neighbors, that in the first place the Kurils would win and become the new Hong Kong in the region. For every ruble invested, five neighbors would invest.

Chronic Loser McCain
US President Donald Trump entered into a correspondence skirmish with Republican Senator (party member) John McCain. McCain criticized the executive for "failing" the operation in Yemen. The word "failure" McCain applied after it became known about the death in Yemen of an American soldier and the success of the Houthis.
The American president did not leave McCain’s response unanswered. In his "Twitter", he recorded: "He (McCain) only encourages the enemy! He loses constantly and no longer knows how to win. It is because of this that we witness the chaos that reigns everywhere. ”
An old McCain is clearly losing political positions. After the senator’s combat performance on Trump’s Twitter account, the presidential administration’s spokesman, Sean Spicer, also signed on to the press. He demanded a formal apology from McCain.
A bit more, and an elderly politician will be called to a duel.

And the warheads of these missiles are such that their brains are blown away at times, so the old McCain, it seems, has never recovered since.
Cure for war
Foreign experts express two opposing points of view. The first in the person of the notorious Robert Kagan call on Washington to "contain" Russia and China; the latter require “realism” in geopolitical approaches and consider the promotion of “Western values” simply stupid. Each side hints that in the event of a different approach, a world war could begin.
R. Kagan brought out “two lines” in the modern world: 1) the growth of ambitions and the activity of two great revisionist powers - Russia and China; 2) a decline in the trust of the democratic world (especially the United States) "to itself". Both the first and second threaten the dominant position that the democratic world has occupied in the international system since 1945, the author points out. As these two trends converge, and the growing desire and ability of the “revisionist powers” is about to change it, the world may be at a point when the existing order “collapses”. The planet will enter “into a phase of cruel anarchy,” as has already happened “three times in the past two centuries.” The cost of this catastrophe "will be staggering."
A completely different point of view is expressed by Sumantra Maitra, a postgraduate doctoral student, a researcher at the School of Politics and International Relations of the University of Nottingham (UK). According to this analyst, “artificially inflating threats” from Russia will not lead to anything good.
In recent years, the “imperative” of the West, recalls this author, has revolved around the spread and protection of the notorious “values”, rather than narrow geostrategic “interests”. Meanwhile, the strategy of values is something that can not be implemented in practice: this can neither be achieved nor maintained. To achieve the protection of "values", the West would have to simultaneously "balance" China and Russia, somehow stabilize the Middle East, and generally tirelessly promote democracy throughout the world. The goal is unattainable; not one great power, including the Soviet Union at its peak, has ever even approached world hegemony. Therefore, such a desire is "nonsense."
American hawks like R. Kagan, we add, however, insist on keeping Russia and China in no way difficult by analyzing the ability of the US to perform such a large-scale task. Russia today is not quite what it was in the second half of the 1990-ies after rapid disarmament and several years of cheap oil, but there’s nothing to say about China, just look at its gigantic army and washed islands in the sea. If the United States under Obama did not dare to stick his nose in Syria (although the ships were already approaching the area of action) and get a conflict of interest with Russia, how can the United States take over Russia and China at the same time, and at the same time the Middle East?
Realism is the best medicine for the new world war. Comrade Maitra will not lie to Kagan.

As always, there are many words in support of their thesis and references to other equally great minds and their statements. Here are just all the values of Europe and the United States grow from slavery and colonies. They allowed themselves to frankly rob for centuries, and suddenly at one time they declare themselves democrats and owners of “democratic values”. Some even voice these values, but even within their own countries these values are constantly being adjusted. It is very convenient and to conduct wars under the motto of protecting democracies and it is possible to argue beautifully, and even measure the level of democracy, relegating to themselves the role of judges of world democracy and at the same time guardians with punishing functions.

4. Alcoholics, who, by the way, are present in the first three groups in the proportion of 90%.
5. The brutally repressed opposition, which is the Forces of Good and is subjected to inconceivable torture (such as the prohibition of the promotion of homosexuality).

The day before, the Kremlin’s press service noted that the statements of the American journalist Bill O'Reilly clearly went beyond professionalism. According to Dmitry Peskov, Mr. O'Reilly would have to think about apologies to the President of the Russian Federation.
O'Reilly thought and stated: “I’m working on an apology, only it will take some time. You can check it out in 2023 this year. ”
O'Reilly believes that insulting the Russian president is normal
The Kremlin has demanded an official apology from the American TV channel
Sands: "The Kremlin will wait for an apology from O'Reilly to 2023 year"

O'Reilly's answer only extended the chain of his insolence. In essence, the TV reporter made it clear that he would call Putin the way he wanted, all the time Putin was supposed to be in power in Russia, that is, until the 2024 year.
A kind of response to Bill O'Reilly gave channel "RT"which gathered a small collection of reviews of the scandalous American leader. In particular, the face of "Fox News" called "pig" and "sexist". The latter is no coincidence: Bill was repeatedly accused of sexual harassment, for which he was sued. Such is the standard of ethics.

It's funny, but this is a hint that Putin will wait until 2023, in the Kremlin.

Put the question differently! Do I really need to pay attention to these American journalism mongers? Do this "pro" advertising? Kremlin press service to sink to the level of "he himself"?
