Results of the week. “- Eh, I like to add fuel to the fire!”
Tragic news, which came about two weeks ago - 20 February: An outstanding Russian diplomat, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin, passed away in New York on 65.
An outstanding Russian diplomat of our time has passed away - a man who defended Russia's position in his post until the last day. This is the case when the loss is really difficult to fill, given both the scale of the individual and talent with professionalism.
In memory of Vitaly Churkin, his powerful legacy in the international arena and remarkable remarks made to his opponents remained.
A small selection of the recent:

Vitaly Ivanovich had to work in an atmosphere of constant hypocrisy. Hypocrisy and pharisaism have attacked the diplomat, especially in the last three years, when, it seems, Russia is surrounded on all sides by ill-wishers.
And this circumstance, of course, affected his health. Emotional stress undermined his health. Churkin was in the rear of the enemy.
And also Vitaly Ivanovich Churkin - a man of great intelligence, he could ironically make a joke for any reason, give examples from storiesit seems he knew everything. "

Not invited
It would seem that Putin 28 February 2017 of the year clarified the situation that has recently developed between Russia and Belarus. “There is always controversy. I am sure that we will find a way out of any, even seemingly very difficult situations, ”the President of the Russian Federation.
Alexander G. wanted to spend the weekend in Sochi - no invitation was received. And even Vladimir Vladimirovich Alexander Grigorievich did not offer to spend the night in the Siberian taiga. Well, what a misfortune such ... And what remains? - But father, drawing sharp corners in his notebook, in his heart still hopes that this is another cunning plan of Putin, after which Belarus will have more than one way out to the sea with shrimps and salmon.

Countdown
Zakharchenko and Plotnitsky warned Kiev about the cancellation of coal supplies, if the blockade of the railway is not lifted by March 1. In addition, the DPR and LPR also threatened to introduce external control in Ukrainian factories.
Started storming positions of radicals blocking communication with the Donbas
In Kiev, disrupt and trample EU flags
In the DPR began to introduce external control at the Ukrainian plants
And at the end of the week, the authorities of the DPR and the LPR have already announced a reciprocal blockade of Ukraine. Zakharchenko turned on the countdown at all, noting that Ukraine remained 60 days before full self-destruction. Against this background, the ex-deputy of the parliamentary parliament Oleynik (who is on the Committee for the Salvation of Ukraine) on the air of the 60 Minutes program (TC Russia-1) reported that he had information about the preparation of the President of Ukraine Poroshenko to flee to Spain in airplanes. And right there in the press there was information that Poroshenko either twice or four times called Putin. What was the talk about - who knows ... For internal use, the chocolate president declared that he would restore sovereignty over the Donbas. And the radicals of Semenchenko have already been taken for the overlap not only of the railway, but also of the automobile ways of communication between Donbass and Ukraine. Simon is doing everything so that the countdown of Zakharchenko is completed as planned ...

The so-called "redoubts" could have been blown away with a diesel whistle, just that no one wanted to get involved with frostbitten ones. Now, apparently, the team for cleaning up this garbage has passed, but for the time being not quite distinct, here’s a fool-ass fool. If they were really demolished, then Simeon would have never had time to post scribbles, would have already run out of habit ahead of his troops.

About bureaucratic pockets
Rosstat published data on the average monthly salary of Russian officials, its dynamics, as well as on the staff of the bureaucratic apparatus in the country. The document is called “Certificate of the number and remuneration of civil servants of federal government bodies (central offices of ministries and departments).
It turned out that the average salary of a federal official in Russia is about 115 thousand rubles. That is, in order for the average federal official to earn money on what is in the asset of his average mother-in-law, you need to sweat on your post on average with up to 25 terms with sweaty armpits ... Speaking of terms ...
The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, as if by chance, recently reminded him of the need to introduce a full-fledged confiscation of property for the caught-up personnel. Well, quite by chance ... Just before 2018 ...
It seems that if the initiative, voiced in Sledkom, will be implemented in the Russian Federation, then not only the bureaucratic mother-in-law can be in the perspective of a “decent old age” with an honestly earned pension ...

When will Ukraine cleanse itself of the bloody pastors?
Another loud statement today was made by the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov - the one who signed the decree on the beginning of the civil war in the Donbass. According to the “bloody pastor”, the APU will be enough for a month to “clean the Donbass”.
"The APU will have a month to clean the Donbass"
Against the background of such a statement by a bloody pastor, the question arises: how much time does the Ukrainians themselves need to clean up the territory of their country from such filth, like Mr. Turchinov, who has unleashed a fratricidal war? Three years Ukrainians Turchinov and all other representatives of the ghouls suffer. This is when the ratings "Turchinov" at the level of dust on the floor
Another question: which country in the world will be ready to shelter such a thing, forgive the shit, when mayd mayhem finally begins to give way to manifestations of reason in Ukraine? Is it the same one that has invested 5 billion dollars in this chaos in recent years, as Ms. Nuland reported? ..

PAK YES or PAK "no" ...
Scientific Director of the Research Institute aviation systems, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Evgeny Fedosov announced that the developers of a new strategic missile carrier for the Russian Aerospace Forces (a promising long-range aviation complex, PAK DA) defended the corresponding preliminary project.
Meanwhile, journalists were quick to announce that the PAK DA will replace three modern missile carriers Tu-22М3, Tu-160 and Tu-95MS. A similar picture was also drawn - for the “consumer” of external beauties and for those who are far from the technological principles of gliders, typical of long-range aviation.
In general, the statements are loud, the pictures, to put it mildly, are original. Well, well, at least they did not declare that a promising aircraft would replace all existing aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Force of the Russian Federation down to fighters with the function of "laser destruction of targets." Otherwise, sometimes such a presentation will be confused, that it is not clear to whom it is intended.

Stealth, most likely, is provided in order to minimize the detection of this aircraft at large distances - unnoticed he crept in a few thousand kilometers, fired rockets and just went unnoticed. Rackets will also be stealth ones, so it will not be so easy to detect them from a long distance, which means that the enemy has less time to react.

T-90 as a star on display in the UAE
The main event of February in the military sphere was the international IDEX-2017 forum. The event traditionally takes place in Abu Dhabi and enjoys a truly huge popularity, being one of the largest arms exhibitions on the planet. Of course, Russia also had its place in the UAE.
In the United Arab Emirates, as they say, they took a new look at the Russian T-90 tank and decided that it was better to take than not to take. The machine for the realities of the Middle East is the very thing, and here there are also reports that the 90-I "Teshka" has passed the full cycle of tests in one of the Middle Eastern countries. Well, not the purchase of the “non-existent in the world” Merkava, after all, the Arabs count on ...

Arabs are less important accurate shooting, do not care about night shooting (they do not fight at night). And to support infantry with landfills, to destroy buildings from local green brick with shells - T-90 can do well.
And let them pursue weapons ...
The analyst of The National Interest magazine called the new Russian drone “sewn up” into the Smerch rocket launcher as the harbinger of the future.
Noteworthy is the fact that reports of a new Russian weapons appeared in the American, albeit quite loyal to Russia (Dmitry Simes magazine), press. If for the American consumer they announced the presence of a "threat" from Russian "intra-missile" drones, which means that only one thing can be expected: the US military budget will be inflated once again in order to counter the “threat”. No, but what ... If Russia manages to impose an arms race on the United States with the help of just publications in The National Interest and personal meetings with Ambassador Kislyak, then we are only for ...

Palmyra freed
The Syrian military command reports that the UAR forces fully took control of the historical part of Palmyra - the very one in which all the main monuments of the ancient architecture of the ancient city are located. Syrian news agency SANA writes that the troops entered the historical part of the city from the south, destroying the fortifications of the IG terrorists (prohibited in the Russian Federation). As a result of stubborn fighting, the militants were driven out of the area in which the Dedeman Hotel is located. Under the complete control of the Syrian government forces, the strategic mountain range of Jabal At-Tar has passed.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin about the success of Syrian troops in Palmyra, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Force.
Syrian army broke through the defenses of militants near Palmyra
So, the Syrian army, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, completed an operation to free the militants of the ancient city. Now, according to information received, more than a third (35%) of the country's territory is under the control of Damascus.
Now government Syrian troops are building defenses at the entrances to the liberated ancient city.

Double veto
The resolution on Syria, based on allegations of the use of chemical weapons, was still put to a vote in the UN Security Council. The United States, Britain and France took this step, despite the fact that Russia had previously opposed this resolution and argued that such a document would harm the peace process.
For the first time since the change of power in the US, Washington went to the aggravation of confrontation on the Syrian issue in the Security Council, although it was hoped that the scandalous draft resolution would be withdrawn from voting. The result is a double veto: Russia and China once again had to resort to a radical measure.
As before, many members of the UN Security Council did not hear the position of Syria. Shortly before the appearance of this draft resolution, the SAR Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically refuted the speculation of Human Rights Watch that poisonous substances were allegedly used during the liberation of Aleppo. The fact is that the report of this “human rights” organization is one of the sources of misinformation on which the draft resolution is based.

"Imperial structure" against the fragile "cookies"
“The Bandera coup in Kiev, accomplished with the help of Western“ cookies ”, met in the southeast of Ukraine with the Russian spring, which led to the reunification of Crimea with Russia and the uprising in the Donbas, again raised the question of the“ unpredictability ”of Russia's actions in acute crisis situations”, writes columnist Victor Kamenev.
Why is Russia able to "escape" in the most difficult conditions of the struggle with the West, when, according to the calculations of Western analytical centers, it had to make concessions or disintegrate? The browser finds the answer in the "imperial structure of society."
But modern Europe, alas, is unable to create its own "imperial structure." At the same time, the observer notes, the United States "in many ways is already an empire, for example, in the armed forces." True, the "liberal and demagogic spirit of the American elites is very far from the imperial ideals."
However, the Americans have hope in their hearts. Kamenev admits that the coming into power of Mr. Trump "is America’s last hope to become a real empire."

It is bad that all power in Russia is concentrated in peacetime in the hands of one person. This allows such types as Gorbachev and Yeltsin, to launch the mechanism of destruction of the state. Some kind of fuse is needed from the destructive actions of high-ranking officials.

French deck shuffled
Against the background of news of the deprivation of French presidential candidate, a representative of the European Parliament, the leader of the National Front, Marine Le Pen, of immunity to the network, a remarkable video of two years ago has been actively distributed. During her speech at the plenary meeting of the European Parliament, which included German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande as guests, Marine Le Pen called the first “staff member” and the second “German vice-chancellor and administrator of the province of France”.
The French presidential campaign has acquired its final framework. Nowadays, the candidate for the highest post of France, desired for the local and international elite, is the leader of the liberal movement “Forward!” Emmanuel Macron. But only two months ago the picture was different. Measurements of public sentiment showed that a quarter of the French were ready to vote for Marine Le Pen. A few points conceded to her candidate of the Republican Party, Francois Fillon.
Marine Le Pen called Merkel "shtatovskoy servants"
By the way, Marine Le Pen made her stinging statements almost two years ago. But since then nothing has changed in the politics of either Germany or France. Berlin and Paris continue to expect “pokazivok” from Washington, are faced with a massive influx of migrants, terrorist activity and frustration of citizens. As a matter of fact, it was because of this disappointment that the popularity of Marine Le Pen and her party grew.

Underwater spring exacerbation
Russian submarines enter the Bay of Biscay, on the coast of which (in Il-Long) is the French base of nuclear-powered submarines with ballistic missiles, writes resource opex360.com with reference to French Defense Minister Le Drian.
The French, by the way, have already moved from words to deeds, from plans to defense.
As stated at the headquarters of the French Navy, foreign submarines located near the Il-Long base send the following signal: “I want to limit your freedom of action in the waters in which the most valuable ships patrol fleetguaranteeing your independence. ” One of the staff assured the public that "on the French side there is no duality in their response: freedom of action will always be ensured by deploying the necessary funds."
It seems that the undersea exacerbation of the spring will soon bring French headquarters strategists to statements about naval victories over the Russians.

The US Army will finance the State Department
The American military intends to arm themselves to the teeth. As the Reuters news agency reported from Washington, Donald Trump intends to go for an “historical” (an expression of Trump himself) increase in military spending. One of the monetary sources for new military programs will be ... cuts to diplomatic programs.
According to Mr. Trump, who delivered a speech in the White House to the governors, his budget plan implies "a historic increase in defense spending in order to restore the weakened military power of the United States of America." He noted that his proposal was a “landmark event” and at the same time a “signal” to other states about “American strength, concern for security and decisiveness.”
Officials familiar with Trump’s budget plan told the agency that the draft contains clauses to cut funding for a number of agencies, including the State Department and the Environmental Protection Agency (an 30% cut-off is possible, leading to the cancellation of entire programs).
American analysts hope that US Secretary of Defense James Mattis will remind his president of something. When Mattis was a Marine General at the head of US Central Command, he told a congressional committee: "If you cut the State Department budget, you will have to buy me more ammo."
It should be noted that the president in the United States does not have a decisive vote on the issue of federal spending. His plan for military spending is no more than part of a budget proposal to Congress, which does not necessarily follow the plans of the president.
Presumably, lawmakers will coldly accept Trump's idea. Everybody is already against him now: both the Democrats, who do not like the possible cuts in programs, including those on environmental protection, and the Republicans, for whom the declared project growth of arms spending seems to be small. In addition, the project does not like part of the US military community.
In short, in a record short time, Trump has managed to turn a significant segment of the establishment and military circles against himself. At the same time, he managed to spoil the external relations of the state - with China, Iran and Russia. And Europe at Trump's upstart looks askance.

Conditionally overthrown
Mr. Trump is starting to "overthrow" exemplary. No, the case in Washington is probably not going to work. In Washington, they are more accustomed to the impeachment scenario. Even the rehearsal took place not so long ago - with Bill Clinton. True, Bill had had time to badly commit by that time, and Donald sat on the throne for more than a month. However, Bill is not overthrown.
An amazing thing: Barack Obama, he did not have time to become president, was discharged the Nobel Prize, and Donald Trump is ready to roll out the impeachment! The democratic part of the American establishment has already developed a “pre-primary” strategy. According to this document, Trump is pretty hard out of the Oval Office. One of the ways to undermine the confidence of the masses to him will be the complete blocking of his political initiatives.
A plan to remove Mr. Trump from power was developed by David Brock, an activist from the Democratic Party. The strategy includes a series of measures that will result in Trump's impeachment. Of course, this should happen before the 2020 year.
David Brock reached the point where he took on an absolutely unrealizable (seemingly) business: he would try to forbid Mr. Trump to give telephone interviews to the media. The democrat believes that the president has to answer questions exclusively personally. Why? Yes, because so he will be less likely to "dodge the answer or lie."
Democratic minimum program is to take control of the Senate in the 2018 elections of the year. Then they are going to expand their influence in the House of Representatives. Impeachment will follow.
In drawing up the plan, said channel "RT", the organization "Citizens for Responsible and Ethical Authority" participated. Activists of the “Citizens” have already sent several lawsuits against the D. Trump administration to the state ethics committee.
Experts believe that impeachment can take place. For example, Professor Anders Aslund, Art. Fellow of The Atlantic Council, who predicted the recent resignation of Michael Flynn, in a conversation with the newspaper "News" appreciated the launch of the impeachment procedure as highly probable.
Against the background of attempts to cut the budget of the Department of State, we add, Mr. Trump’s popularity cannot exactly win himself. Gentlemen Democrats will find many reasons for accusations. To cut funding for the State Department can, of course, only "Putin's protege." The Democrats will have no doubt about this.

Beam in the eye
Get away from Russia, she will die herself: here is the new leitmotif of the Western press, which has appeared in recent days. While some analysts are calling for an end to hysteria and "McCarthyism" towards Russia, others point to four factors that in the 2017 year will lead Moscow to an economic and political catastrophe.
Experts of Geopolitical Futures "calculated" four factors that are already destroying Russia today. Here they are, the areas of chronic Russian “instability”: 1) territorial wage arrears; 2) pressure on the banking system; 3) social and economic unrest, even if their level is very low; 4) government "cleansing".
We can offer our “SWOT-analysis” to fraternal America.
The political system in the United States is unstable and staggering: with the arrival of Mr. Trump in the White House, American society and the establishment split into two. Today, they are even talking about the plan for the legitimate "overthrow" of Trump.
Americans are so entangled in their electoral system that many believe: Trump was chosen by hackers from the GRU.
The US national debt under Presidents Obama and Bush Jr. has reached astronomical magnitudes. Soon, someone will wait for non-payment of salaries in the White House itself ...
Protests in the United States, collecting "several hundred people," in general, no one is surprised. It is more difficult for the authorities to protest, similar to what happened on racial grounds in Baltimore. Here even the National Guard is required.
As for the purges, Mr. Flynn flew out of the White House just recently. And, judging by the active opposition of congressmen to Mr. Trump, this is only the beginning of the “purge”. The last to fly head Trump himself.
Welcome to the unstable world, gentlemen liberals!
