Results of the week. White Olympics under the white flag
Vladimir Putin is going to the polls. He stated this at a meeting with employees of the GAZ plant in Nizhny Novgorod. The statement, of course, did not become a sensation for anyone.
Putin announced his intention to participate in the presidential election
Opponents with ratings at the level of pristenka or plinth - perhaps, under the current geopolitical situation, the option is the most suitable. But if with an eye to the future, then, in fact, there is a certain anxiety. The problem with the preparation of truly worthy candidates in the future, including the so-called successor and a really constructive opposition - this is not an empty phrase. Otherwise, you can get a post-Brezhnev version, at the end of which another “combine operator” will come to power (yes, the real workers-combine operators will forgive, it's not about you - well, you understand) with a known result. Chur, chur ...

"Bear on the roof", factory "Roshen"
“Battle scenes” with the participation of the national police and supporters of Mikhail Saakashvili continued to develop in the center of Kiev. The Kiev police tried to storm the activists' tent camp outside the Verkhovna Rada building, but this was not as easy as it was originally supposed to be. At that time, at least 2-thousands of supporters of the ex-governor of the Odessa region gathered at the VRU building, and the police were simply pushed back from the tents by the crowd.
The United States and Europe no longer believe Kiev, because it threw them
Everything got mixed up. Kremlin agents running across the rooftops were eventually captured by Kremlin agents in SBU uniforms, but they were beaten off by Kremlin agents from the crowd, led to the building of the Ukrainian parliament, where there was nowhere for the Kremlin agents to fall. Carslons, fake petrels of anti-corruption, cheap mafiosi - this is an incomplete list of common nouns that Ukraine has been hearing all week in the center of Kyiv. Maidan chroniclers lost count and got confused in analytics - is this Maidan 3.0 or an upgraded version of Maidan-2? But the main question is: who will they eventually get more money for?.. And one more thing - it’s interesting: will the Bear on the Roof series of chocolates produced by the Roshen factory be released.

"White" Olympiad
The expected decision was made by the International Olympic Committee after a lengthy discussion in Lausanne, Switzerland, about the fate of the Russian national team at the Olympics-2018. The head of the IOC, Thomas Bach, voiced the decision, which ultimately looked as follows: to remove the Olympic Committee of Russia and a number of high-ranking sports officials from Russia from the Games in South Korea, but at the same time allow athletes from Russia to perform at the Winter Olympics under the “neutral flag and without any or Russian paraphernalia. "
Russia allowed to act under a white rag
The Kremlin commented on our removal from the Olympics
US and IOC dug up a sports war tomahawk, which will return to them a boomerang
The officials who were sent to Lausanne to protect the interests of the Russian Olympic Committee and the Russian Olympians, downcast their eyes, apologized. “We will not be there anymore” - and here such tears should be like clowns - jets ... Officials said: it could be worse, and even there is a positive thing - we will all be in white - it's beautiful! ..
And the formula of international sport is now clear: if you want to eat doping with handfuls - take a certificate from the district officer that you have diarrhea or worse - the nail broke ... And if you didn’t have time to turn to the district officer - it’s not a problem, take part in games white bathrobe.
By the way, yes. The term "white" Olympiad now played with new colors.

I propose to gather those athletes who want to play under the white flag in the Kremlin, and give them according to Lexus or what they are given there. And to issue a sum of money as a medal. And on the TV show. Let the people look like a scanty (by and large) amount of Motherland redeems the devotion of their sons and daughters. Those who have a conscience left - refuse. The one who takes, the done man. Let him have a neutral citizenship and for life stands for a neutral team.

Satanovsky is right in saying:
"The Americans, when signing agreements with the Indians, never observed them. For what kind of devil did they have to sign an agreement with us (with the Russian Federation) to fulfill it? We are real Indians for them for the West, but we don’t understand this, thinking that we are partners for them. "
Is the movie already over?
Recently, we have to deal with a new phenomenon: there seems to be a professional director, there are no less professional actors, there are hundreds or another of budget millions, there is a dedicated film project, and ultimately the pancake is a lump. And the first pancake - it's okay, but the second, and the third, and the twentieth.
Art, like beauty, requires sacrifice. That's just often the victim - the viewer. Strong shots from current filmmakers - anti-aircraft gunners of the Great Patriotic War with five-layer makeup, hair lamination, manicure and exceptionally snow-white Hollywood smiles; Khan Batuy in the style of "freak show travesti"; Khrushchevskaya Moscow with a trolleybus driving in the background in the background advertising the famous Korean electronics brand; indispensable abundance of "bed" scenes in films with a claim to historical truthfulness. Who said: there is no emotional cinema? .. But what about a hundred hundred series of melodramas about how she is a simple village girl with peeling and plastic breasts - after many serial upheavals, after removing the scarf from her head, she marries an honest millionaire who has ridiculed her with millions Red roses...

It is striking the other, striking people to whom you treated before with respect. It turns out that among all this party, actors, directors and other "bohemians" there are no normal people at all, and if there are, literally ones.
Watch the abomination of the Russian cinema, recently there is not any desire, especially for modern kinovy..rov about the Great Patriotic. Yesterday I watched Klima Zhukov about the project under the working title "Sevastopol.1942.". As I understand it, there will be something like "28 Panfilov", so this movie can wait. Although again for my taste in "28 panfilovtsy" everything is fine, but the film does not cling to the soul, I do not want to cry. Here you look "Only old men go to battle", "And the Dawns Here are Quiet" and other Soviet films, the tears themselves flow from your eyes, but do not hold back, but here is emptiness.
So it is high time for censorship to be returned, and all “film artists” such as the Raikins, the Serebrennikovs, the Rayhelgauzs should be put in the stall and asked for every penny spent. And so to ask, so that the skin cracked and thoughts, to remove any obscene things did not even arise.

On the other hand, this is a global trend, as I can see. Even well-known directors, going in the wake of the market, begin to slip into taste, bursting huge amounts of money into the production, and the output is another passing film that only fans watch. The golden era of the end of 80-x - the middle of 90-x, when simply cult films were shot, which can already be considered classics of cinema, is gone. From time to time, Cameron or Tarantino will flash, but for the most part it turns out something like "The Smaug Wasteland" - about anything, prolonged, with writers' notions that completely change the idea of the author of the book. Or "Rage" - the director's drug addiction dreams about how American troops in Europe could fight if they were told which side the enemy is.

The official representative of the main US defense department, Eric Paehon, spoke about the American vision of the situation of the liberation of Syria from IG terrorists (* banned in Russia). According to Mr. Paehon, the liberation of most of the territory of the SAR is a merit of the United States, not Russia.
Yes, where can we be before the American soldiers of light, knights without fear and reproach who smashed ISIS (*) so that before the start of the operation of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria, black bearded boys controlled 80 percent of the republic’s territory. Thunder-smashed - tired hand ...
And, seriously, during the week the Russian Defense Ministry noted that the operation to eliminate the ISIS group (*) in the SAR was fully completed, and the Russian military would monitor the execution of the armistice.

“Noncompetitiveness”
JSC Russian Helicopters is working on a new generation of combat helicopter ordered by the Russian Ministry of Defense in August 2017. To date, there is a package of related contracts for the development of the helicopter concept and technical requirements for it. This stage (R&D) should be completed at the end of 2018, reports bmpd with reference to the Air & Cosmos magazine.
Here’s the result: “In May 2017, Nikolai Fedorov, technical director of the helicopter equipment department at Russian Helicopters, assessing avionics, sighting systems and weapons of Russian helicopters, concluded that“ Russian-made electronic equipment manufactured for helicopters is uncompetitive. ” Look, you let out, that means, cars, let out, and then all of a sudden - it’s uncompetitive ... Like the Russian army aviation does he live with this at all? .. Here, where, you see, spit it is complete superiority in the helicopter industry of foreign partners ... But, it turns out, bast shoes fly through the air, guided by the stars ...

In Afghanistan, this is very affected.
But to build such an aerodynamic disgrace as the Mi-28, it is already beyond common sense.
Su-34 will be even more efficient.
The Su-34 multi-purpose front-line bomber is being developed for new aviation aids (ASA) and advanced avionics (BREO), the military-industrial complex said on Tuesday.
Well, we must be more careful with such statements. And how are we? - it is only worth mentioning the work on improving the combat effectiveness of any kind of military equipment - immediately shouts: “Aha, so this vaunted Su-34 means militarily ineffective”. As if the limit of efficiency, which in no case can not be exceeded, it laid immediately upon leaving the factory hangar.

Samples of the engine 2 th stage at the Su-57
His first flight with the new engine made the Russian 5-th generation aircraft Su-57 (earlier name - T-50). The Minister of Industry and Commerce Denis Manturov told the media about the testing of the aircraft with the new engine.
Exclusive footage of the first flight of the Su-57 with new engines
"Product 30" went to the flight
The flight lasted 17 minutes, as planned. Everything went smoothly. The pilot of the aircraft piloting the aircraft did not cause any complaints. Well, therefore - in a good way.
And the main thing without it is the “five-year plan in three years”. Chasing someone and something to nothing. And then in the end you can get a serial analogue of the American supergamenest F-35, which among those identified during operation (after putting into service), except for flapping its wings and involuntary emptying of the fuel tanks in flight, were not detected.

Imagine also on the ground many, many times we started without takeoff - this is called the TEST OF NEW TECHNOLOGY.

Just because previously, of course, the engine drove on the stands. They tested all modes, from the minimum to afterburner. Flight to minutes is a complex test preceding the life test. The next test - on the stands before the destruction. To determine the limits. And a set of statistics of uptime. Cases do not become less.

Holiday on the liberal street: there will be no newest BZHRK
The development of combat railway complexes (BZHRK) of the new generation was discontinued. The topic is closed, at least for the near future. This was reported by an informed representative of the military-industrial complex of Russia. The reason, presumably, is the lack of funding.
Named the reason for exclusion from the state program of weapons BZHRK "Barguzin"
It turned out to be a difficult task. When at first everything was looted by candidates for effective managers, now, of course, there are no means or resources to quickly put BZHRK on alert, but also put it in the format of a new generation. It can easily write off a dozen or two billion dollars to Iraqi oil (or whoever else is there ...), in return, having received "an opportunity for a productive dialogue", and it is not always possible to find funds for security. Holiday on the liberal street.

Officially stop, and quietly put on duty. In the event of a conflict, the first blow is delivered to the explored underground mines, and the answer arrives, from where it is not expected.
The idea of a rocket train disguised as a regular one is too good. They can not refuse from this.

Nobel does not shine him
After D. Trump's decision to recognize the city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the Palestinians took to the streets and began to burn American flags and portraits of the above-mentioned Trump. Trump himself believes that his decision will bring to the region ... peace. The statement is more than controversial.
Disagree with the decision of Trump, Prime Minister of Great Britain Teresa May, who said that the British Embassy will remain in Tel Aviv, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Frenchman Macron. The latter expressed "deep apprehensions" and even called on Trump to reconsider the situation.
Delegations from France, Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Bolivia, Uruguay and Senegal requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation with Jerusalem.
The UN Secretary General himself spoke out. António Guterres noted that there is no alternative to resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the principle of two-state coexistence. “The status of Jerusalem is an issue that must be resolved during direct negotiations between the two parties through the mediation of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly,” concluded Guterres.
In the Arab League, a verdict was handed down: the Middle East peace process is dead. “The peace process can be considered dead after Trump’s statement. Such a move will anger all Palestinians and Arabs, ”said Assistant Secretary-General H. Zaki.
Clashes began in the West Bank
Syrian air defenses repel Israel missile attack
Obviously, Mr. Trump tried to declare himself as a peacemaker. Apparently, Mr. Obama's laurels do not give rest! And if Obama didn’t really get along with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, then Trump has everything in the openwork. At least, his peacekeeping fervor in Tel Aviv was appreciated. Sorry, in Jerusalem.
Thanks to the decision of Trump and his advisers, the US Embassy will soon move to Tel Aviv in Jerusalem. However, with this, Trump is not advised to rush his son-in-law, Mr. Kushner.
In fact, we note that the idea of recognizing the capital of Israel as “indivisible” in the United States is not new and belongs not to Trump. The American congressmen approved the corresponding bill in 1995 year. According to the document, the US Embassy should be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. However, three presidents in a row, Bill Clinton, George Bush (Jr.) and Barack Obama, rightly rejected this act. The fact is that the issue is not the responsibility of the congress, but of the president.
That is why congressmen do not decree to Mr. Trump in his decision. And if the presidents listed above were afraid of the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East and even of a new war, then Trump, apparently, is worsening, and war is liking. No wonder he pumps money to the Pentagon, and through him - the military-industrial complex.
And the Nobel Peace Prize hardly shines him like Obama: after all, at the UN, Trump’s peacemaking idea was criticized. By the way, here are the latest regional reports: clashes between Palestinian Arabs and Israelis began in the West Bank. The first clashes occurred at an Israeli checkpoint. Near the checkpoint, Palestinians are building barricades of construction waste and car tires. Earlier in the media reported on the Hamas decision to arrange a "day of anger" ...

Syria reflects the missile attacks of Israel
Syrian air defenses have repelled a rocket attack by Israel on one of the military positions near Damascus, as a result of the incident there is material damage, the Syrian state television channel Al-Ikhbariya reported.
There are also reports that the Syrian air defense forces beat off the Israeli missile attack on the Center for Scientific Research, located in the west of Damascus. Well-informed sources indicate that every second missile fired by Israel was destroyed.
Syria's air defenses again beat off an Israeli rocket attack
Which crown you try on in Israel: American or North Korean?
So, Israel faced the possibility of an answer. It turned out suddenly that the neighbors also learned something and have modern weapon. There is a dangerous situation that can be aggravated by the rejection by the Arab world of Mr. Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which the Arab world actively opposes.
On the other hand, it is clear that the strengthening of Iran and Syria causes concern among the Israelis.
In short, in the Middle East, the world is still very far away ...

Echo of the Arab Spring
Arabic information resources report the death of former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh, who served as the head of Yemen's 1994 to 2011 years, was reportedly killed in Sanaa by members of the Yemeni Hussite movement.
The New York Times reported the inability of the Patriot complex to shoot down a Hussite rocket.
A. Saleh was born in 1942. He was removed from his presidency as a result of the so-called Arab Spring. Then the troops of the Saudi coalition invaded the country, stating that they were fighting against terrorism. However, during the "struggle" area of the territories controlled by the Al-Qaeda terrorist group (banned in the Russian Federation) in Yemen almost doubled.

Under the control of Moscow?
Russia's plan for the Middle East is understandable to regional powers, says columnist Yury Podolyak. That is why "they not only supported him, but also take the initiative in this matter." The secret of the plan is simple: it is “beneficial to everyone except the United States and several other countries that are used to catching fish in muddy Middle Eastern water.”
This plan is this: Turkey and Iran become leaders of the Muslim world, and Moscow “controls them”.
For the region to be stable and predictable, a single understanding between Moscow and Ankara was not enough. Moscow convinced Erdogan: without Iran, a new strong Middle East cannot be built. At the same time, Turkey, as she wanted before the Syrian war, was to become the formal leader of the Sunni world, and Iran would control the Shiites. At the same time, Moscow in the region was to become an arbitrator and a balancer for those who wanted to break this status quo, a columnist believes. And today the new system is almost formed.
The security of the southern borders of Russia is the world in the Islamic world. And this world is quite real and achievable.

Successes ahead?
The British analytical center Chatham House has calculated that in 2000-2016, of all Russian arms exports, Latin America accounted for only 4,6 percent. Such a small share in the bulk went to Venezuela (80 percent).
Until now, only this country and Nicaragua, well remembering the American invasion and the suppression of the Sandinistas, buy about 60 percent of all the weapons they need from Russia. The rest of the countries buy weapons in Brazil (which also buys weapons in Russia itself), China, the EU and the USA.
However, Russia is fighting for the arms market. This year, the country took part in four regional arms and security exhibitions. In Latin America, from 2001 to the present day, they supplied weapons and military equipment worth over 10 billions of US dollars. In recent years, competition from American and European arms manufacturers has increased significantly in this region, but Russia is ready to fight for the customer. The figures are small, but there is still success. For example, in more than twenty years of cooperation, we managed to deliver weapons to Colombia in the amount of half a billion dollars.
And the latest news: General José Alberto Mejia Ferrero, commander of the ground forces of the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Colombia, awarded Sergey Goreslavsky, Deputy General Director of Rosoboronexport, “for his significant contribution to maintaining the airworthiness of army helicopters of the country’s ground forces”. The Medal of Merit of the Collegian Ministry of Education and Science was established for military and civilians who made a significant contribution to ensuring the solution of the tasks by the ground forces of the republic.

Object at depth
In the area of the last connection to the Argentine submarine San Juan, a Russian remote-controlled deep-water submersible discovered an object that was initially mistaken for a missing submarine. After research, it turned out that we are talking about a fishing vessel sunken at a depth of about 950 m. Information was confirmed by the head of the press service of the Argentine Navy, Enrique Balbi.
Meanwhile, in the Argentine segment of social networks, they continue to discuss the military version: they say, San-Juan diesel-electric submarines could become a victim of the use of weapons by a foreign submarine. Of course, the main stream of accusations goes to the UK, with which Argentina argues for the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands.

Of course, it is necessary to find it, but it can be difficult to get from the bottom if there really is such a rift.
And the example of the Baltic is indicative: the whole bottom has been explored, and the depths are small, but the dead ships and boats of the time of WWII, which were previously missing, are constantly found.
Russian "block" in the Norwegian Sea
The strategic underwater component of the Northern Fleet of Russia is planning to “block” in the Norwegian Sea: this is the “cunning plan” of Oslo.
In the area of the Danish Strait, as well as the North, Norwegian and Greenland Seas, the impact of the Icelandic low (areas of reduced pressure over the North Atlantic), which brings a lot of cyclones from the south-west, causing stormy winds from the south-west, is much more pronounced. As a result, the hydrological situation deteriorates markedly, as does the detection range of enemy submarines by means of the RSL, as well as submarine hydroacoustic stations and surface ships. The crews of ultra low noise diesel electric and anaerobic diesel sterling electric submarines with an acoustic noise level of less than 40 dB will feel most at ease in this situation. That is exactly what the Norwegian Defense Ministry decided when developing the long-term prospect of renewing the submarine component of the fleet.
The Norwegian government decided to launch military-technical cooperation with Germany. The main emphasis was placed on cooperation in the area of naval technologies, in particular, on the purchase of modernized anaerobic diesel-electric submarines Type 212C / D. Such a “internal war” deal will be extremely beneficial for both the Norwegian Navy, which can replace the “old” diesel-electric Ula-class submarines with new submarines, and the German shipbuilding company ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, which will receive a solid order for 6 — 8 “Type 212C / D ”worth about 8 — 9 billion dollars. The Norwegian fleet will receive a full-fledged improved version of the “Type 212A”, which will pass through full degaussing of the hull, capable of reducing the presence of the submarine by means of magnetic anomaly detectors installed on long-range IL-38Н and / or Tu-142XXUMX aircraft hundreds of times.
As for the “breakthrough” of the antisubmarine screening formed by the updated Norwegian Navy submarine fleet, E. Damantsev believes that it remains to be hoped that the modernized YAP-M MAPM will receive a water-propeller, after which they will be able to compete with the German “air-independent hunters” .

I am sure that life will force us to come to a decision on the construction of such submarines. The question is, it's better early than late.
Fight without Russians
The risk of war in the coming year is quite high, and there is no reason to expect peace, Swiss experts believe. There are two hotbeds of tension, and both can cause global conflict. Not far off is the new year, and with it the war.
It seems that in Switzerland, known for its special attitude to peace, neutrality and banks, they are very much afraid of a new global war. And they do not believe in the stability of Trump, or in the stability of Kim Jong-un. Both don't believe in rationality either.
Rationality in general seems to have disappeared from the politics of the 21st century. Everyone in his own way, but goes crazy. And Swiss analysts and experts are right in one thing: from the madness of the ordinary to the military - one small step. It is enough for some "rational" to conduct an unsuccessful test! ..
As for Iran’s Swiss, the pressure put on this country by the rational administration of Trump, who declared Iran to be a sponsor of terrorism, may well lead Tehran to the idea of armed with nuclear missiles in the manner of Kim Jong-un. Purely for defensive purposes!
By the way. The Russian “threat” is not mentioned by Swiss analysts. Totally!

As for the Middle East, no one there will not throw his harems for the sake of a Kalashnikov.
Russia, alas, still does not know which coast to stick to. They are not allowed in there, they are not allowed in ... And even if they are allowed, then without any insignia. Apparently, for Russia, the time has not come yet. Now the main thing is to get together, not listening to the cries of some Swiss and various other Swedes, and one day just take on the role of forester Yegorych, who sent all the fighters ... to rest.
