Results of the week. "And the battle continues again"
A spokeswoman for the next Polish subcommittee to investigate the causes of the crash of the Tu-154 near Smolensk Martha Palenek introduced a new batch of statements about the results of the investigation.
Polyakov was asked to express an opinion on the causes of the crash of the Tu-154 near Smolensk
In the week of his post (the post of minister of defense) Pan Matserevich lost his job. Many thought: who will now look for "traces of explosives" and demand new exhumations. But Pan Matserevich, although they were moved from the ministerial post, was immediately appointed the head of the commission itself, which continues outright desecration of the memory of those killed in the plane crash near Smolensk. So, there will be new “revelations” - up to the “sensation” that instead of Polish pilots in the cockpit of the Tu-154 sat mannequins, well trained by the Kremlin to control the liner ...

I believe that with an adequate investigation, "Yarik" expects an electric chair, which is specially brought for him from the United States.

MiG-35 to be!
Factory flight tests of the MiG-35 ended in December 2017. The fighter is preparing to enter the joint state test at the start of 2018. Their (state testing) is scheduled for completion in 2019 year.
When I didn’t go out for tests, we talked about the shortcomings of the defense industry, bureaucratic red tape. When I went to the test, we are talking about the economic insolvency of the project. You can, of course, think about the “monetary” component for a long time, but the fact remains that the MiG needs projects, because the MiG is not only a name, but also people. And these people are trying to make a quality product within the framework of the domestic defense industry.

What, how, why - this is for specialists.
Addition to the account of a large batch of Su, the cost will definitely be less. So the decision is not economic, to support the MiG design bureau afloat, it is more likely.
What is right, as it was necessary ... not for us to decide.

I think we need both heavy ones like the Su-35, and "medium" ones like the MiG-35 and we would still be hindered by a really light and simple single-engine one. That will strengthen not only our defense, but also the export potential.

Grip "Javelins"
Lethal weapon, which Kiev will receive from the United States, will be stored away from the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbas, the newspaper The Wall Street Journal reports.
Monkey with a grenade, or "Javelins" for the APU
It turned out that Ukrainian soldiers will go abroad to learn how to manage the “Javelins”, and then the entire storage process in Ukraine will be monitored by American military instructors. And why suddenly? .. Before the disguise of American soldiers in Garny cyborgs nothing interfered, but now suddenly such problems. Will the Minsk-2 be closer to implementation from these perturbations? But who in general remembers this “Minsk” in Ukraine today. Not to mention the United States with their "Kremlin agent" Donald.

"Bears", of course, well done, but then what? The fact that WADA is dancing under the American tune is obvious - after all, it’s not just Mr. Rodchenkov who is under the “patronage” of the FBI. Everybody knows everything, everyone understands everything, only American, Canadian, Norwegian “illnesses” eating handfuls of doping will perform under their national flags, and ours will perform under white rags with bagel holes.

The Central Bank of Russia has published a report on its location in the form of gold and foreign exchange reserves — that same national wealth (not to be confused with the well-known giant company), which provides the main safety cushion for the Russian economy and, above all, for the Russian banking system.
In general, there is nothing sensational in the report. As we invested hundreds of billions in the American economy, we continue to invest. Moreover, investments are increasing. At the same time discussing some regular sanctions. Yes, what other sanctions, when actually free money that could go to the implementation of large-scale projects, we meekly give to those for whom the terms “projects” and “Russia” do not fit by definition.

In early December 2017, the general director of the Ukrainian GP NPO Pavlograd Chemical Plant Leonid Shiman made a rather unexpected and contradictory statement about entering the Thunder 2 operational tactical missile system into the final phase, which even then created a real “dump »From the comments left by both opponents and supporters of the criminal Kiev regime.
South Ossetian Voentorg for Donbass. Hello from "Abkhaz"!
The main question of the current time: will the Ukrainian army go to Donbass during the Olympics and the election cycle in Russia? Considering the fact that this army itself does not solve anything, but the “people in black” from a friendly overseas power decide for it, this probability is very high. It is great against the background of not so old provocations near the borders of Russia (in 2008 and 2014), when they sowed democracy with sniper rifles on the Maidan, and “Grads” near Tskhinval.

The war broke out with a new force
31 December Two Russian servicemen died as a result of mortar shelling by militants of Hmeimim airbase in Syria. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Russia. “31 December 2017 of the year with the onset of the dark time of the day Khmeimim airfield was subjected to a sudden mortar shelling of a mobile sabotage militant group. As a result of the shelling, two servicemen were killed, ”the statement reads.
The defense department also noted that the information on the destruction of seven planes by militants at December’s 31 air base in Hamím in Syria does not correspond to reality.
Later on the Telegram channel "Directorate 4" there was a message about another attack on the Khmeimim air base. It was noted that the attack was carried out with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles: “It is reported that the Russian military shot down several dronestrying to attack the base. There is no data on what the damage to the airbase could be in the event of attacks with the achievement of the goal. The UAVs were handicraft, equipped with handicraft mines, while due to the mass character they could cause significant damage to military equipment, which is located in the open air.
And one more sad news from Syria. December 31 Russian helicopter Mi-24 crashed. The cause of the disaster was a technical malfunction when performing a flight to Hama airfield. “When making a hard landing at 15 km from the destination aerodrome, both pilots died,” TASS quotes a message from the Russian Defense Ministry.

Russian Defense Ministry: as a result of shelling by militants of the Khmeimim airbase, two servicemen were killed

Turkish cunning, American meanness
As you can see, the line 2017 — 2018. full of tragic news from Syria. The crash of a helicopter, an attack on Hmeymim airbase, the death of military personnel - this is not all. There are heavy battles between the Syrian army and the terrorists in Haraste (Damascus province). In addition, the so-called moderate opposition resumed shelling residential areas of Damascus.
This means that the war in Syria is gaining new momentum. Western analysts even suggest that target in this war the Russian forces became ...

Is there a coup d'etat coming in Iran?
Syrian intelligence reports that dozens of militants were thrown onto Iranian territory over the past few days, who had previously been trained in the Jizr al-Shaddadi military base area (the Syrian province of Haseke). In fact, this is an attempt to carry out a coup d'état in accordance with the practice of the so-called color revolutions developed by the USA - using mercenaries.
Riots in Iran began after the transfer of militants from Syria to this country
Experts say that events in Iran, if only a color revolution breaks out there, can accelerate prices for energy resources, primarily for oil.
And indeed, the rise in oil prices is noticeable from the first days of the coming year. 10 and 11 January Brent price was higher than 69 dollars per barrel.

Russian gas will warm Boston
American companies have decided to purchase a batch of Russian liquefied gas. Such an original decision is associated with an increase in fuel prices due to bad weather on the east coast of North America.
Russian LNG in transit through Britain will be delivered to the States of the French Engie Company. The final destination will be Boston, which has experienced a snowstorm and a drop in temperature. Now the city and the state of Massachusetts are facing large-scale flooding, which has already begun in certain areas. Just a few days ago in the United States an absolute record was recorded for the cost of 1 thousand cubic meters of gas. She made 6,3 thousands of dollars! Recall that in Europe, Russia natural (pipe) gas sells for approximately 180 dollars for 1 thousand cubic meters.
The gas to be delivered to the USA is produced by the Russian company NOVATEK. Production is carried out according to the Yamal LNG project.
Oil and gas remained only in Russia. The rest of the world smokes nervously on the sidelines
Gazprom absorbs gas market in Europe and slaps US
In Europe, the Russian gas industry is also doing well.
In 2017, Russia increased its gas exports to Europe. 193,9 billion cubic meters, which is 14,6 billion cubic meters, or 8,1% higher than the 2016 of the year. Foreign exchange earnings from exports of the Russian gas monopoly increased by more than 2017% by the total of 20.
Togo and look, the "gas war" of the USA with Russia will lead to the victory of Russia not only in Europe, but also in the USA itself!

And the US is that red, or something. They will also buy gas from Russia and sell it to the Baltics.
The main thing is that the Baltic states and Ukraine should not be taken from Russia.

Negotiations in the House of Peace
The first two years of direct negotiations between representatives of South Korea and the DPRK began. They pass at the ministerial level. One of the issues discussed is related to the possible participation of the North Korean team in the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, which will start next month.
By the way, the negotiations became possible thanks to the initiative of Kim Jong-un, who addressed the Korean people and declared the need to focus on further strengthening North Korean security and at the same time improving relations with the South. According to the young leader, the time has come to think about the unification of the country.

How the Americans fought with the Russians in Eastern Europe
If in the autumn the prospect of a military conflict with the Russians in Eastern Europe pushed the command of the US Marine Corps to strengthen the combat capabilities of its units, in the winter the top command of the Corps spoke of an “ongoing” war.
The commander of the US Marine Corps, General Robert Neller, said that US marines in Europe should be ready for a big battle. Why are there ready: the battle is already underway! “I hope I’m wrong, but the war is already underway,” says Robert Neller, whose statements are quoted by the Washington Post.
Such exciting statements by General Neller tried to clarify the TASS correspondent. He appealed to the press service of the Pentagon. However, duty officers of the service “found it difficult to answer” the questions of the correspondent about Neller’s point of view and whether it reflects the position of Defense Secretary James Mattis (by the way, the retired General of the Marine Corps).
American generals, we note, should be less to wag language. Every word about the “going war” immediately responds not only among the servicemen to whom these speeches are addressed, but also among journalists who are dragging away such “information” all over the world.

If they really want to fight with Russia, then we need many hundreds of thousands of Marines, if not millions.
And if they think that they will disembark on the Russian coast, how are they going to at least imperceptibly conceal such an armada? One departure from the port will already be noticed. Plus, it is necessary to clean everything up with fire, and here we need an appropriate force in the form of the Air Force and Navy. Such preparations will also be noticeable: by one plane or by ship it is unreal.
All this from the realm of fantasy.
I wonder how many soldiers can a maximum be placed on one transport ship?

Migrants will not save Russia
Russia will kill the demographic crisis. President Putin, who is seeking to take a high chair for another six years, considers resolving this crisis a priority. However, foreign experts believe that in the coming years, the number of Russians will only decrease. The working population will be less and less: Russia is suffering losses in the literal sense of the word.
"Russia lacks Russians." Under this grim title, an article by Benjamin Tribe in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung was published. The demographic decline seriously limits the pace of economic and business development in Russia, the author believes. And there seems to be no “serious solution” for this crisis.
Immigration is by no means a simple solution to the problem. Yes, Russia has for many years been a “destination” for labor migrants from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Meanwhile, the economic crisis of recent years, along with measures of protectionism, have weakened the influx of migrants. In the first half of 2017, immigration no longer compensated for the natural mortality. And even the increased immigration from Ukraine over the past three years has not improved the situation.
In this regard, the issue of raising the retirement age is raised again and again. The main reasons for the possible increase in the retirement age can be relatively low oil prices, which create a chronic budget deficit dependent on the export of energy resources of Russia, as well as a demographic “pit”. By 2035, the number of pensioners in the country will range from 25 to 29% of the total population. I do not even want to predict what a hole is formed in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in this situation.
Western experts agree that retirement age is coming too early in Russia: 55 years for women and 60 years for men. This is one of the lowest retirement ages in the world. It was introduced, reminiscent of the Swiss Tribe, even under Stalin, in 1932. However, the analyst does not think that Putin will go to increase the retirement age. “Financing the pension system is very old-Testament,” writes Tribe, “but Vladimir Putin does not want to experience the people's anger, which could provoke an increase in [retirement age].”
And further. The International Labor Organization (ILO) and the rating agency Standard & Poor's predict a rapid decline in Russia's population. By 2050, the population of the Russian Federation will drop to 130 million.
Reducing the population while reducing the number of working citizens (due to the generation 1990 — 2000, “thinned out” by reformers) will lead to a very unfavorable economic situation in the future.

Let's at least calculate, at least at the subsistence minimum, up to 18 years:
10000 × 12 × 18 = 2160 thousand rubles. Over 2 million, although the minimal salary is just a joke. People think how to live by themselves, and not to produce poverty!
Children do not give birth to those who have millions (their minority, and many of them age). When tens of millions of citizens, the majority of the population, will live like human beings, that's when we'll talk. That's when incentives for parents come in handy.
