In 2016, the subprogram “Development of the domestic machine tool industry and tool industry” of the Federal Target Program, which began its work in 2011, completed its operation. The subprogram (PP) was designed for a significant increase in the volume of the machine tool industry.
Recently, an interesting trend in general. With great fanfare - garlands of balloons, salutes, laying of capsules, signatures of politicians on pipes or stones - projects are being launched. But how it comes to work, so ... As they jinxed ...
It turns out that it would be better if the festivities were held after implementation. But with the implementation often everything is not at all as smooth as it was originally on paper. It also happens that the banquet “for the project” eats up such a part of its budget that the implementation withers away at the first stage. Maybe it’s time to announce at the legislative level that the project is to be handed over first, and then fireworks, brandy and balls ...

Kazakstan from May Hart
The question of the order of the President of Kazakhstan on the transition of the Kazakh language from Cyrillic to Latin is being vigorously discussed.
There can be a lot of resentment about why the Kazakh authorities decided to abandon the Cyrillic spelling of Kazakh words, but it’s better to still operate with “bare” facts. But Astana doesn’t provide “bare” facts, because it’s not sure about their presence about the effectiveness of the transition from one writing to another.
From the statement of the Kazakh academician Alimkhan Zhunisbek (on the air of Radio Liberty):
When it “seems”, people in Russia know what to do. And in Kazakhstan? ..
At the same time, in Kazakhstan, representatives of the authorities claim that the transition to the Latin alphabet will create a “new, expanded information field” for the Kazakh language. Yes, it's all great. But here is one question: the current information field is not enough? And the second question: how much has the information field of the Moldovan, Turkmen, Uzbek, Azerbaijani languages been expanded in the transition to the Latin alphabet? Is there any comprehensive research on this? Or, after the transition to Latin writing, has the number of brilliant Moldovan, Turkmen and other writers, poets and publicists increased dramatically? ..

And I went to the kitchen, took the box with the juice, poured a glass. Then he turned the box to the side where the letters KZ stand in the ovalchik.
I am not a great expert on Kazakh, but I have been living for a long time and heard Kazakh speech repeatedly. That is why I wanted to "look" at her. The sound of "s!" They can not throw it out for sure; through the word occurs. What letter of Latin can be the sound "Y"? Or a combination of some letters?
And I am very sorry for the residents of KZ who used Cyrillic most of their lives, and now you are
Two years on the transition ... I do not know, I probably would not.
About Orlans and imaginary values
Currently, the domestic shipbuilding industry is carrying out major repairs and modernization of the Admiral Nakhimov heavy nuclear missile cruiser, Project 1144 Orlan. Currently, of the four built ships of this type in combat fleet there is only one left.
Completion of modernization work on the cruiser "Admiral Nakhimov" promise to 2020 year. But here's the bad luck - as soon as the Admiral Nakhimov enters the Russian Navy, the only combatant of the 1144 project, Peter the Great, will be sent for repair. Apparently, the presence of two “Orlans” in the fleet system at the moment violates arithmetic and rolls into the section of imaginary values ...

It is worth Lavrov somewhere to come, where with the understanding is intense, and immediately begins. We have become accustomed to the quite normal claims of the Japanese during the working trip of any of the first persons to the Kuril Islands. No way, these are historically Japanese lands, disputed territories, because protests and all that.
Anxiety, you understand, express. Teeth clapping. Well, and who are we trying to build from ourselves, if we consider that for any sneeze of Russia right away - for NATO underpants. And they say, make a base in Batum, and go through gay parades around Tbilisi - if only not “Russia's aggression”. Yolki-stick, not sad yourself? They turned themselves into the American litter, said goodbye to true Caucasian pride, which Russia has always respected, and that now - only concerns about Lavrov’s visits “to express” remain.

In the air of the Ukrainian “5 channel” Colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuli Mamchur said that after the “return of the Crimea”, those residents of the peninsula who voted to join the Russian Federation would “have to flee”.
Mamchur:

One (Turchinov) at the terrible tramp of the hoofs of the Ukrainian army is afraid to slip the frontier, the other (Mamchur) vanguards the inhabitants of the Crimea “escape” when the same valiant army advances. No, well, crowing from behind the fence is a simple matter. The Russian army has already been “kept”, having jumped enough through the boilers - it is possible to attract attention with its “ku-ka-re-ku”. The real colonel is ...

The Ministry of Energy and coal of Ukraine reports that the Slavyanskaya TPP (Nikolaevka, Donetsk region) became the fifth of six Ukrainian TPPs in the territories controlled by Kiev, which stopped generating activity.
And then the Russian hackers broke the weather servers (they are the servers), and almost all over Ukraine snow fell. The temperature at night began to fall to negative levels. Sharply increased consumption of electricity. Then, Russian hackers completely let themselves go, stopping the operation of one of the power units of the Zaporizhzhya NPP.
In an effort to counteract hacker aggression, the Ukrainian authorities took the following initiative: to prohibit the import of aggressive Russian coal at the legislative level, so that it could not affect the emergency overmix with its burning.

Tank juche modernization
15 April, a military parade was held in Pyongyang on the 105 anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung. At this time, one of the "nails of the program" was a modernized tank "Chonma-216", which attracted attention due to several of its features.
The word “modernization” in the DPRK is understood with all the expression of Juche ideas. If we are to equip the tank with armaments, then so that the enemy, with one glance, can, excuse me, put them in his pants. Worked on the principle: what is - everything will go to work. They wanted to weld a pair of Tephodon, but the welder, they say, was unwell.

Deputies of the State Duma once again try to show that they have already decided all the pressing economic issues in the Russian Federation, and therefore "should concentrate on other issues." In particular, the parliamentary inter-factional group, consisting of representatives of United Russia and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, announced that it had “developed a legal mechanism for the burial of Vladimir Lenin.”
Bury Ilyich - let's live like cheese in oil...
Just a few hours after the sounding of his “breakthrough” initiative, some deputies decided to play back. The public outcry was so great that in the end, as it turned out, Lenin again outplayed representatives of United Russia.
The Liberal Democratic Party, however, remained in its place — to be sure to release, they say, “living space” (well, I mean the Mausoleum! ? Really Volfovich encroached? ..

There will be a lot of blood!
Military commentator, retired Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok believes that an American strike on North Korea is only a matter of time. But Chinese experts are sure of the opposite: after all, only a psycho will occur to strike a nuclear country.
The VO observer, military expert Alexander Staver recalls: “Maybe this is why the saber rattling of the new US president is perceived calmly by Pyongyang. Koreans on their land and will not give it to anyone. And judging by Trump's confusion, the Americans also understand this. Fighting an opponent who is not going to surrender or retreat is more expensive. There will be a lot of blood at the attackers. ”
Nevertheless, so far there is no talk of a preventive “disarming” strike.
In the US, talking about diplomacy against the DPRK. They speak in the same way about diplomacy both in the PRC and in the Russian Federation. In a recent telephone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister S. Lavrov, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi noted that Beijing intends to coordinate closely with Moscow and promote de-escalation of tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
On the other hand, the North Koreans in recent days have been successfully exacerbating tensions. And not just rocket tests. In Pyongyang mounted and showed nuclear strike video. Blow in the US.
Such propaganda videos, launched to the whole world through YouTube, are sheer insanity. Pyongyang invites Mr. Trump to strike ...

And we had a huge army, and political leaders tens of thousands. And tanks were Nemer, and guns, and were going to beat the enemy on its territory. As a result, 3-4 million prisoners. So you can not call the article so: povyuyet, then we'll see!

So what? For 25 millions of people - a drop in the ocean. So defectors are not an indicator.
Throw "Tomahawk"? A million dollars apiece. Yes, even if we aim at kindergartens, there will be no more than a thousand victims per missile, and they will only make them angry.
And these millions will go ready to die, just to kill the enemy, to South Korea, to Japan. And off the coast of the United States and England, the submarines with nuclear missiles are probably sitting now. Do you hope that all the submarines are calculated? In vain.
Finally, who will guarantee that several warheads did not advance the special services in sea containers to the enemy’s territory?
Madness to tease the opponent cornered. The enemy is trained and has nuclear weapons.
But if the United States needs war, even with millions of victims in the United States itself, even with the transformation of Japan and both Koreas into a radioactive desert, but just to maintain its leadership, then yes. US action is logical and consistent.

The country is split in two
The long-time dream of R. T. Erdogan came true: in the Turkish referendum held at the highest turnout (more than 85%) supporters of constitutional reform won. Now Turkey will transfer to the presidential system of government. President Erdogan, if only by the time the changes come into force again becomes president, will be given the right to declare a state of emergency in the country, personally issue decrees in the status of laws, appoint the majority court of the highest courts and dissolve parliament. The post of prime minister will be abolished.
After the referendum, CNN TV channel issued a headline: "Today democracy has died in Turkey." According to the journalists of the channel, amending the constitution will make the country "less democratic, more sharply divided and more religious." For Turkish supporters of "democracy, the rule of law, independence of judges, freedom of speech and equality for all, the road ahead has now become much, much more steep."
The referendum really split Turkey. In half. Approximately half of those who voted were in favor of amendments to the constitution, the second half was against the amendments.
Just recently, the United States was split in the same way, forced to choose between a bad presidential candidate and a very bad one - Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Today, Trump is eager to prove to everyone that he will do everything for the prosperity of his native America. The evidence is well known: missiles in Syria, a bomb in Afghanistan, ships sent to the shores of the Korean Peninsula, and the thesis of the “Russian threat” voiced by American diplomats at the UN level. That's why he and the world hegemon, to think and create globally.
The political size of the Turkish "Sultan" is much lower. Its global influence ends somewhere in the blackmail of the European Union with migrant flows. His main audience is his native population.
How will Mr. Erdogan prove his plenipotentiary presidential rightness to the dissenting half of the Turkish population? Punitive measures and the death penalty of political opponents?

Mr. Trump's big bomb
Some Pakistani analysts believe that in Afghanistan, Putin has managed to outwit Uncle Sam himself. As evidence, experts point out Moscow’s attempts to improve relations with Afghanistan and “secretly get closer to the Taliban.”
Donald Trump and two small victorious wars
While Pakistani analysts talked about Russia's powerful regional influence, supposedly befriended the Taliban, and the weakened United States, which for some reason does not counteract IG in Afghanistan, the Americans took the most powerful non-nuclear bomb into Afghan militant tunnels but Islamic state ”(prohibited in the Russian Federation).
About this correspondent RIA News" According to the press service of the Pentagon. “The blow was struck in the area of Ahin in the province of Nangarhar on Thursday. The goal was the militants "IG", their system of tunnels, which they used to move. GBU-43 was used, ”said the spokesperson.
According to the Pentagon man, this bomb became the most powerful non-nuclear ammunition used by the United States.
Obviously, we add, the Trump administration fulfills one of its promises: The White House intends not only to launch a new strategy in Afghanistan, but also to use more military forces in this country. Mr. Trump's strategy is easily recognizable: these are bombs and rockets. There are two “small victorious wars” - in Syria and in Afghanistan. Trump took on what Obama refused.

Johnson no more pour
The other day, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson offered Moscow to join the Western coalition and jointly fight terrorists in Syria. At the same time, the Russians should assist in a cease-fire and a political settlement, one that “will free the Syrians” from Assad.
Mr. Johnson supported his April theses with a ponderous argument: he made it clear to the Kremlin that the United States could deal another blow to Syria. At the same time, the British Foreign Secretary blamed Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad, calling him an “arch-architect”, and promised that the British and allied forces would gather evidence and start persecuting “war crimes perpetrators.” According to Johnson, there is no doubt that the bomb fell from any of the two U-22 Syrian aircraft that "took off from the airbase where the chemical weapons were stored." According to him, "samples of the victims of the attack were analyzed by British scientists."
Consequently, Mr. Johnson openly called on Moscow to join the American coalition, fight it against the terrorists, and at the same time ensure the withdrawal of Assad from power. Bonus for Russians: the possible development of relations with the “hawk” Trump, who, if the occasion is right, can strike a second blow to Syria.
Oddly enough, we note that some British minister talks about the “more productive relations” of the Kremlin with President Trump. It seems that this minister is registered in London, and Trump - in Washington. And the latter is not the first to obey. Even the British queen cannot do anything about it.
And it is doubly strange when the minister, who has just suffered a political fiasco with the promotion of sanctions, argues on this. Fiasco internationally, at the level of the G7. Johnson's ideas about "punitive sanctions" against Moscow have not passed.
However, if you remember Mr. Johnson's excessive passion for a drink called whiskey, which he absorbs in the morning (sometimes) following the example of the great Churchill, then much will become clear. Probably, on Churchill this binge is similar only to his addiction to alcohol. Well, and still a reverent attitude to the "British scientists" mentioned above.

Alarming predictions
Foreign experts state: the relations of Russia and the West are at the lowest level after the collapse of the Soviet Union, which happened in 1991 year.
Almost a third of Russian citizens believe that war is possible between the United States and the Russian Federation. Such data leads VTsIOM.
However, the Americans, in their own opinion, are allegedly full of peaceful intentions. According to high-ranking officials, the United States is seeking peace in the world. True, America plans to achieve peace through force.
According to US Vice President Michael Pence, who visited the demilitarized zone on the Korean Peninsula, America seeks peace. True, peace "America has always sought power." In particular, the administration of Donald Trump does not intend to adhere to the policy of "strategic patience" in relation to the nuclear issue of the DPRK.
NATO and Russia: will there be war?
“The bottom of the collapse of the USSR has not yet been reached, and we are awaited by the war for the post-Soviet inheritance”
The topic of probable wars on the planet (including the theme of the new world war) became aggravated after Donald Trump came to power and openly showed his “hawkish” republican essence to them. A massive missile strike on Syria, and now the threats against the DPRK, lead many analysts and observers to the alarming assumptions and gloomy forecasts.
In recent weeks, the unpredictable politician Donald Trump has turned into quite predictable. This is an obvious carrier of the idea of an arms race and victorious war games that will be pursued for any contrived cause. Under a trump and his administration, advisers and generals. Figures like Penny or “Mad Dog” by Mattis will not hesitate for a long time. Hence the priority of military decisions. The more war in the world, the more “defense” orders will be received by the US military-industrial complex. It is strange that McCain will understand in any way that he should not criticize Trump, but cherish and care. The whole thing after doing.
In a word, Mr. Trump is not going to get up in line for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The theme of "neutralizing Kaliningrad"
The RAND Research Center called on the Pentagon to assess the capabilities of NATO in suppressing the Russian anti-missile defense system in the Kaliningrad region, the organization's website reports. “The various scenarios and abnormal situations that we heard in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Poland about the actions of Russia and the potential response of NATO should be evaluated by the US Department of Defense ... This refers to a clear idea of the role that Kaliningrad should play with its strong air defense system. How will NATO neutralize this? The whole topic of neutralizing Kaliningrad raises the question of the escalation and potential response of the Russian Federation to what Russia will evaluate as strikes at home, ”the report says.
The reason for such "research" is clear: to ensure the unimpeded delivery of Western missiles to Russia. In addition, the European missile defense system can be upgraded from defensive to offensive without much difficulty. Vladimir Putin spoke about this at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum in 2016, recalls columnist P. Romanov.

Russian tank potential is number one in the world
The German magazine Focus has published the global index of military power. In most positions, this index indicates the American leadership in the military sphere, but there is a position in which Russia was put in the index in the first place. We are talking about arming the army with tanks. According to the authors of the compilers, the Russian Federation has the largest tank potential in the world (15398 tanks), “having the strongest land component”.
In the overall ranking of countries in terms of military power "participated" 126 states of the world. The three leaders, according to the index compilers, are as follows: United States, Russia, China.
Interesting comments from German readers of the Focus. Readers are perplexed how it turns out that the military budget of Russia is ten times less than the total budget of the NATO countries, but at the same time, NATO sees Russia as the “main threat” and declares that Russia “invades Ukraine and Syria”. According to the readers of the German magazine, the NATO budget would be worth checking for compliance with the threats and its realism.

Two methods of deterring Russians
In recent weeks, the American edition of Business Insider has repeatedly raised the issue of Russian missiles of the latest models. 23 March, an article entitled “The US Navy has a severe missile gap with China and Russia - was published” (“China and Russia went to the“ missile gap ”from the US Navy. How to defeat them?”) by Alex Loki. The author expresses a curious thought: “on paper” the US Navy in some respects loses to the Russian and Chinese fleets. However, letters and numbers alone can never defeat the US Navy. Instead, the United States and its industry, represented by Lockheed Martin, continue to develop and improve their technologies in order to increase the capabilities of the armed forces in protecting the country.
The 6 of April edition of Business Insider published A. Loki’s new material entitled “The US can't defend your new cruise missiles - try“ offense instead ”(“ The US cannot defend itself against the latest Russian cruise missile. Perhaps, instead protection should be attacked "), also devoted to the current situation in the field of missile weapons. The founder of the publishing house Arms Control Wonk, Jeffrey Lewis, told A. Loki about possible ways to solve the problem with Russian medium-range missiles. Two main methods can be used to contain Russia.
The first method of influencing the Russian side is the continuation of pressure on Russia. The United States must force Moscow to abide by the terms of the existing agreement on medium and short-range missiles. The second important method could be the launch of a large number of advanced weapons development programs.
It should be noted that the topic of “breach” by Russia of the INF Treaty is not new. Over the past years, foreign publications, and especially American ones, have regularly written about the testing of new Russian missiles, which allegedly fall within the limitations of the treaty. Similar statements are heard from official representatives of various US government agencies. Until recently, such accusations concerned only promising ballistic missiles, but for some time now newer complexes with cruise missiles also appeared in statements.
Such accusations and the search for methods to counter the “Russian aggression” make it possible to suspect foreign authors and analysts of bias. Moreover, the corresponding views on current Russian work in the field of rocket weapons are fairly widespread and may become the official point of view of the White House. Such a point of view, as we know, is formed instantly: it is enough for Donald Trump or even his children to watch TV.
