Riding the Greeks through the crisis river
The word "Eureka" does not want to sound in the Greek Parliament. It seems that everyone knows what needs to be done in order to save Athens from default, but its Archimedes, able to bring these measures to life without any problems, has not yet been found in Greece. Obviously, the current Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papadimos is not taking on the role of Archimedes. No, it’s not that he doesn’t have his own bathtub, where one could indulge in conclusions about the salvation of the Greek economy. He certainly has a bath, but for some reason Papadimos doesn’t have light thoughts in her. The Greeks were blinded - nothing to say.
That is why last week the passions around the Greek government debt continued to boil. The fact that the Greek desires and the Greek possibilities have long ceased to coincide - they managed to notice both inside Greece and the rest of the European Union. That is, the Greeks, of course, want to take loans, they want to eat well, they want to dress, they want to drive expensive cars, but somehow all these whims are realized without the German, French and Dutch euros from the Hellenes. You understand, other Europeans say: let us give up your parliament altogether, switch to direct control from Brussels, tighten the belts on your chitons even tighter, and we will see, give you 130 billion euros so that you will have Molotov cocktails ceased to throw and healed better than before. And if, they say, you do not want to accept our Brussels terms, then you go to your sacred mountain Olympus and ask for help from the inhabitants there. The Greeks, of course, were once again outraged and burned a couple of hundred more cars and restaurants on the streets of Athens, but they didn’t feel better about it. To cool the heat of the hot Greek guys, they were reminded of what is happening with the countries after the default. And recalled with the help of the Russian example. However, ordinary Greeks seem to have inspired even more decisive actions, as they managed to notice that Russia, after its default of 1998, manages to gain momentum without the European Union. But is it possible for the Greeks to explain that Russia has such substances as gas and oil, with which life is generally a joy ...
Tango together around the Falklands
February 11. Argentines, peacefully bathing in the waters of the Atlantic near the Falkland Islands, suddenly noticed a British nuclear submarine, swimming next to which was not part of their plans. It was necessary to get quickly (who - bras, who - crawl, who - butterfly, who - how can) to the native Argentine coast, in time to complain to the UN about these royal maneuvers of London.
Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman was quick to accuse Her Majesty of not having told Mr. Cameron himself or any of his friends in the Argentine Cabinet about the course of the submarine and the presence of warheads. The British did not meekly listen to the claims of Buenos Aires and said, let it be known to Timerman, the UK has been plowing the Atlantic Ocean in the Falklands for thirty years and will plow them for as many years as Her Majesty will please, for it is Her Majesty and Her Majesty alone has the legal right to wash the sides of its atomic submarines in these salt waters.
However, to help the Argentines unexpectedly for themselves came the American actor and director Sean Penn. He sharply accused London of his inherent colonialism and noticed that it was time to transfer the Falkland Islands under the protectorate of Buenos Aires and officially call them the Malvinas. The trouble is that Mr. Penn forgot to ask the inhabitants of the islands themselves, under whose protectorate they themselves wish to be. But the residents of Falklands have more than once announced that they are somehow calmer under the London warm wing, and the British people are accustomed to take into account the people's opinion according to democratic canons ... However, if the opinion is somewhat different, then the Corona can help the Falklanders to self-determination. London has always had its Churovs ... Well, and Mr. Penn is better to start with the exposure of his native White House in his no less colonial policy.
What Iran Enriches
The new American proverb says: "You are still enriching, then we are coming to you." However, last week a trendy topic about Iran’s accusations of developing nuclear weapons acquired a slightly different shade. American and German friends of a democratic Iran strongly supported a diplomatic settlement of the Iranian problem. Leon Panetta himself suddenly started talking about diplomacy that he somehow did not fit in with his official position. Although, in principle, we have long suspected that such American authorities as the State Department and the Pentagon may well replace each other. If suddenly Mrs. Clinton is too unlearned, then Panetta has to fulfill her diplomatic duties. If Panetta loses a sense of reality, then Mrs. Clinton, in turn, is in a hurry to help. So they live ...
But if the United States is committed to a diplomatic solution to the Iranian problem, then it turns out that Washington believed the words of the Iranian ambassador to Moscow, Reza Sajjad. Striking confidence ... That February 16 decisively reassured all Americans and others who are not too afraid of Tehran nuclear weapons, saying that the program they have there is purely peaceful in Iran, and that all of them are aimed solely at meeting the country's electricity needs. Well, now we don’t even be able to enrich everything calmly - she wanted to leave the ambassador’s language, but he’s the ambassador, not Zhirinovsky’s one, so that he’dn’t lose anything extra from his tongue ...
True, some excessive pacification of the States has turned into an excessive radiance of Tel Aviv to solve the “Iranian issue” on its own. They also have more experience in this respect ... So the Jewish griffins on innocent Iranian sheep are torn to cut their wool. Only here under the hairs of these sheep can be something that Israel will look painful and even dangerous ...
"Poisonous" Assad
It was a hot week in Syria, as well as around it. 12 February with the filing of the United States and LAS, it was decided to hold the first meeting of the "Friends of Syria." According to the LAG offer, the meeting will have to be held in Tunisia 24 February. All those who want to be friends with bearded men with machine guns on their shoulders and a green bandage on their heads and stubbornly do not want to be friends with Assad have been added to the number of friends of Syria. The format in which this meeting will take place is not yet specified, but the universal fraternization of democratically minded companions is guaranteed. The program is promising: cheers, smiles, double kisses, splashes of champagne mixed with "Allah, akbar!" ... By the way, China was invited ...
In addition, the Arab League managed to be noted and another memorable proposal - to introduce a foreign peacekeeping contingent in Syria. The Qataris, Saudis and other apologists of the democratic world in foreign territories will have to create peace. Sergey Lavrov, the head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, managed to respond to such a proposal. Without any superfluous diplomatic flowery, he told his friends that in order to make the world go one must first be among those invited for this epochal mission. And if the Arab League is going to start maintaining peace in Syria, then Lavrov put it even more obviously: “The peacekeeping mission, or, as they call this mission in the UN language, peacekeeping mission, must first have a peace that will support.”
After a couple of days, Russia decided to strike back with an informational blow in order to show that there are creative units among the Syrian opposition antipiar technologies. Such a creative was found among the defecting officers. A certain Abdul Razek managed not only to desert from the Syrian army, but also immediately to give an interview to the Al-Arabiya channel. Amazing dynamism! He used to paint in colors how the Assad army uses a deadly nerve gas against innocent people. Of course, “progressive” humanity had previously imagined Asad walking through the streets of Damascus with a face twisted with anger, a flask of poison in his hand and a quiver of poisoned arrows, but Razek’s words finally finished the image of the Syrian president for those who had not yet reconsidered all American films. action movies. But on this the revelations of the regime by the one who had given the streokach, if I may say so, the officer did not end. Abdul Razek said that the Russians are delivering this terrible gas, and the Iranians give instructions on how to use it. Such a mixture as Syria-Russia-Iran or Asad-Putin-Ahmadinejad looks for every democratized individual as a sign of the Apocalypse. Therefore, the world regretted Abdul Razek, who was inhaling precisely with some kind of gas, and enlisted him as an ideological fighter for freedom and, of course, democracy in Syria.
Cookies Libyan Justice
At the beginning of the week, the new Libyan authorities suffered an unexpected diplomatic defeat. And it caused them to such a state as Niger. Livia wanted to get for the accomplishment of humane justice Colonel Gaddafi’s son Saadi, but the authorities of Niger suddenly took out a fig from his pocket, which they obviously prepared in advance. Of course, no one in the world thought to doubt that the Libyan court was the instance of the highest world justice, but this Niger confused all the cards ... While the Libyans were thinking about how to take revenge on their neighbors, Saadi Gaddafi continued to broadcast from the territory of Niger about the coming revolution or counter-revolution, which should almost from minute to minute to begin in Tripoli, Benghazi, Breguet and beyond - all over Libya. In order to cool down the broadcaster's fervor, the Nigerian authorities decided to take Gadhafi Jr.'s cell phone away ... And today, as we know, without your mobile phones, any facebook and tweeters, you can talk with friends or organize a revolution - boredom, in general, is mortal.
Difficult language for Latvia
Last Saturday, a referendum was held in Latvia on the possibility of giving Russian the status of the state language. The preliminary results are as follows - about 23% - “for”, - almost 77% - “against”. Someone was waiting for other results? Latvia is a vivid example of “sovereign democracy” on our planet today. Someone here in the early nineties came up with a simple and at the same time bright idea for all Latvian Square - if you want to always win elections and make the right referendums - deprive the votes of all those who can vote against you. Agree, congenial decision! After that, more than 30% of the population of Latvia lost their right to vote by adopting the status of “blacks” or non-citizens. In this regard, it is possible to offer the Latvians an even more destructive option - to recognize as non-citizens those who this time spoke in favor of the Russian language. Then democracy will be even easier and more fun to govern. Compared with Latvian democracy, the Russian “regime” is generally resting ...
