Results of the week. April flights in a dream and in reality
Letter in envelope
As is known, the famous “PEREGRUZKA - PEREZAGRUZKA”, whose strategy was developed by bright American heads, among whom was the head of the current ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, ordered to live a long time. This happened after Moscow did not receive any legal guarantees against the European missile defense system against the Russian Federation from Washington. For whatever reason, our American partners cannot guarantee that all their radar and anti-missile missiles are sent exclusively somewhere in the direction of Iran is not entirely clear. More precisely, it is clear, of course, but we will not, as they say, heat up the situation.
However, in the week from the United States came the news that Washington is going to give Moscow some written guarantees about the non-directionality of the European missile defense in our direction. Ellen Tauscher, an official from the United States Special Representative on Strategic Stability and Missile Defense, spoke these words. Ms. Tauscher also noted that Washington is even going to “ask” other NATO countries to provide written non-directional guarantees to the Russians.
In connection with such a landmark event as the promises of such a monumental figure of American politics as Helen Tauscher, one can imagine how events will develop in the near future. The postman carries two envelopes to the Kremlin: the first is with the official seal and the return address “Helen Tauscher on Demand”. In the envelope is a sheet of paper in a cell, where, in “rough,” as expressed by Michael McFaul, in Russian, it is written: “My dear rosiyane! Nashi rykieti nye naraffleni protyiff rasha. Articleuye Sbobodi klyanus. From Helen Tauscher with love. ”
In another envelope with the return address “Brussels. NATO. Rasmussen "is a similar sheet of paper, which contains about the same text, only with the postscript" Klyanemsya article by Pisayuschogo Malchyk. Your NATO. ”
Obviously, such written guarantees will immediately dispel all of our questions to NATO and the United States, because now we will know for sure that this entire anti-missile armada will be directed solely at the windows of the bedroom of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ...
"Star" in the sea
The 100-year-old Kim Il Sung's Jubilee, which is celebrated in DPRK these days, was overshadowed for millions of North Koreans by the unsuccessful launch of the Ynha-3 rocket, which attempted to bring the Quanmenson-3 satellite into near-earth orbit. The launch of the “Milky Way” with the “Bright (shining) star”, namely, the names of North Korean apparatuses for the conquest of near space translated into Russian, overshadowed not only the citizens of North Korea, but also a substantial part of the world community. After the rocket fell apart, which recovered to jam fish in the Pacific Ocean, experts began to wonder whether the Milky Way fell down or helped him a little - this is the time why the new leader of all North Koreans Kim Jong Un decided to give a damn about all Security Council resolutions - these are two, whether a new “Eunha” will be prepared - these are three.
Of course, for Kim Jong-un and all his comrades-in-arms it would be better if the South Korean “Milky Wei” were sprinkled by South Korean or Japanese air defense weapons. Then a wide field opens up for new exposures of these decaying manufacturers Hyundai and Mazd and for raising the rating of Comrade Yn himself. If the rocket, as some Russian experts say, destroyed itself, since it “flew in the wrong direction”, then it is obvious that the North Korean specialists who prepared the launch are waiting for a big debriefing. But North Korea is not Roscosmos, in order to write off all the failures to fatigue of its employees from too hard work. Here they can give a cap so that no hospital named after Burdenko will help ...
After the rocket launch from the North Korean cosmodrome, the UN Security Council unanimously expressed condemnations against the DPRK authorities. However, it must be recognized here that the North Korean authorities were more open than ever: foreign journalists were allowed on the launch pad, who could conduct their reports, as they say, without cuts. Would the North Koreans act so transparently if they decided to really frighten their closest neighbors by launching an ICBM? ..
It’s just that young comrade Eun decided to demonstrate to the whole world, and first of all to the citizens of North Korea himself, that he doesn’t turn his grandfather’s way, but he is ready to cooperate with other countries. And other countries have decided to take the position of taxi drivers at the station, who can not tolerate, so that among them suddenly appeared a new competitor on an old car with old-fashioned numbers.
Obviously, if the North Koreans continue to prohibit their epic with the "Milky Way", then it definitely will not stop them. Americans, of course, will lay out their trump cards with the cessation of food supplies, but such a move will only aggravate the matter. Perhaps it would be much more effective to offer the North Koreans assistance in launching their “Bright Stars”. And the Koreans will be happy, and all their launches are under control, and maybe then we will finally hear patriotic songs about Kim Jong-il and Kim Il Sung, reaching from 500-kilometer height, and find out about the reports from the fields North Korea ...
Therefore, if General Popovkin finally passed his fatigue, then it is time for him to buy a ticket to Pyongyang and kiss Kim Jong-un for fruitful cooperation in the field of space exploration.
Fly over the clouds ...
This week, Georgia also developed the theme of flying in a dream and in reality. 10 April Mikhail Saakashvili saw the first Georgian drone. The President of Georgia personally took part in the trials of the offspring of Georgian model aircraft, capable of rising into the blue sky to an altitude of 3 thousands of meters and moving at speeds up to 160 km / h during 8 hours. Using a simple calculation method, one can calculate that in such a time the Georgian drone can overcome up to 1280 km. Taking into account the fact that the distance from the east to the west of Georgia is no more than 550 km, Saakashvili's drone may inadvertently fly into adjacent territories ... Therefore, the Georgian president himself, who will control the new toy from the console in his office, should be advised to carefully press the " Full ahead, "otherwise you can shabby and another" peace enforcement. "
On creation drones the Georgian leader decided not to stop. According to him, Georgia will soon "assemble" an entire anti-missile system. To do this, according to Saakashvili, employees of Georgian factories will simply need to work hard. If we follow the logic of the Georgian leader, then until that moment the Georgian workers either worked poorly or did not work at all, because they could not assemble an anti-missile system from the puzzles presented to them by the American military industrialists. Apparently now, throughout the country, Mr. Saakashvili will throw a cry: to intensify the collection of scrap metal for the needs of the Georgian missile industry. The younger students, wiping their tears, will roll their old bicycles to the ferrous metal collection point, the housewives will carry teapots and forbidden symbols of the occupying power - hammers and sickles: everything for the front, everything for victory ...
You can already imagine how the UAVs plowing the Georgian sky will fly around the picket fence of the Georgian antimissiles surrounding Mikhail Saakashvili’s Tbilisi residence. Meanwhile, Mr. President himself will stand at the big table with a map spread on it and with a demonic laughter draw with a red marker arrows directed at Tskhinval and Sukhum.
And further than the devil is not joking, and own Georgian space program. After all, if Kim Jong Un took up the cause, then why not go the same way to Mikhail Nikolozovich. Maybe the launch of the first Georgian launch vehicle Assa with the Shining Mikhail-001 satellite aboard, which roar over Abkhazia, dispersed flocks of peacefully descending Georgian UAVs is not far off.
Dreams Come True?..
Look in both, the observer!
The UN Security Council decided to send dozens of so-called non-military envoys to Syria. Such a project became a kind of symbiosis of the proposals of the Russian and American delegation to the Security Council, as well as the Special Representative of the Arab League and the United Nations Kofi Annan. What observers will observe?
According to the Security Council, these people will have to monitor the cease-fire by both parties to the conflict. If the fire is really stopped, then the representatives of the Syrian opposition and Bashar al-Assad will sit down at the negotiating table, and if the military clashes continue, reinforcements will be sent to the observers so that it can be observed even better.
The idea is undoubtedly a good one and its focus on a civilized resolution of the conflict is obvious. Only in the Syrian issue there is such a nuance as participation in a military conflict not only by government forces and the opposition, but also by those who act in this country as mercenaries and are associated with world terrorist organizations.
Therefore, if the parties cease fire, comrades in green and black facial bandages will quickly restore the “status quo” with the help of gunfire and grenade launchers, forcing the world to say that Assad again disrupts the outbreak of truce.
It is completely incomprehensible how observers are going to act at all in such conditions. Are they going to approach people with MANPADS on their shoulders and ask for their documents in order to clarify which party has violated the truce today? Apparently, in the Security Council this is something like this: “Good afternoon! I am an observer! What is your full name and rank, so that I can put a mark in my journal for the report? ”Answer:“ Valleykum assalam, Mr. Omon observer! I am an international terrorist, Abdullah, I don’t want to remove whoever they want to remove from his post here, I’m just earning money and now I want to release a couple of queues from my machine gun for those people in the form, and then also send five pieces of it ... "Observer:" Aha! So let's write it down: the opposition’s truce today violated 4 times. I will now run from the government troops and ask what they are going to answer ... ”
In general, observation in Syria is, of course, a necessary thing, but it’s hardly likely that terrorist Abdullah will be so eloquent ...
Flight of the EEG Thought
During the week, the Military Review raised the topic that Russia's security consists not only of the number of nuclear warheads and the level of salaries of military personnel, but also of the quality of secondary education in the country. In this regard, it will not be superfluous to turn to some innovations that await graduates (and there are about 900 thousand people) of Russian schools when they pass the Unified State Examination (USE).
According to experts, the constituent materials for the final exam in various subjects, they decided that they should take the “less theory - more practice” path. They say that Russian children for the most part cannot solve the simple math problem about the amount of fluid in vessels of different diameters on the exam, but they can do it in real life. In this regard, one would expect that all examining audiences and adjoining sites would be equipped with "practical means": pools in which pours out of pipe A, and pours into pipe B ..., railway tracks along which passenger and freight trains with different speeds, working models of the solar system. In general, to everyone that can help our students solve problems at a practical level, and not dirty the paper and wrestle with it.
However, the experts decided not to bother themselves with such costly measures, so most likely, soon we will see the USE in the form of comics, where graduates will be able to get the right answer at a practical level or even draw it ...
Waiting for the examinee innovation in the exam and the Russian language. Experts say that now it will be a new way to count the number of words written in the essay or essay. Apparently, a schoolchild who “rolls on” more will receive a higher grade. If we are guided by such logic, then the modern inspectors for Lev Tolstoy for “War and Peace” would put a solid top five, but Turgenev for his short stories from the “Hunter’s Notes” would hardly get points for obtaining a diploma of maturity ... Well, the Japanese hockey authors in modern Russian schools in general would be little that the light ...
In this case, the compilers of the EGE on the Russian language and literature declare that students should move away from the monologue in their writings, and use the dialogue form. Therefore, to obtain a high grade, a graduate will have to elect a certain virtual interlocutor and correspond with him. Apparently, the authors of this approach for a long time watched Yulia Vysotskaya's “Eat at Home” program, in which she constantly talks to someone and does not worry about the fact that nobody usually answers her.
In general, education reform in place, as you can see, is not worth it. Mr. Fursenko’s ministry is working to its fullest, and soon there will be more citizens on the streets of Russia who, wishing to be heard, are talking to themselves and in order to find out how much 0,5 + 0,5 will be in practice, they drink bottles of beer and a shaking hand in 2 porch enter the data in the agreed cell.
Made ends meet
Last week, the Russians received comprehensive information about the income of public servants - Russian officials. As far as it is exhaustive, each made its own conclusion for itself. And although it is ungrateful to consider other people's money, but since the officials themselves decided to cut the financial truth, this topic can be touched on in the results of the outgoing week.
According to published data, the following trend emerges: literally all statesmen in the 2011 year could not earn what they were able to get in the year 2010. The poorest Russian Federal ministers were: Deputy Chairman Igor Sechin with income of 3 million 92 thousand rubles, Minister of Health Tatyana Golikova with her 2 million 976 thousand rubles, Justice Minister Konovalov with income of 3 million 13 thousand, economical Minister of Economics Naibullina in 3170000 rubles, Minister of Communications Igor Schegolev with 2 million 892 thousand rubles. However, there is a minister in the list who has earned even less - none other than Defense Minister Mr. Serdyukov.
True, it is noteworthy that for many Federal Ministers, their families earn much more than they do. Here, for example, the spouse of the same mister Serdyukov for a year earned the sum almost sevenfold exceeding the income of the spouse. Moreover, according to the published data, Yulia Viktorovna Serdyukova earns more than Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin combined.
The situation is similar in the Nabiullins' family, where the husband of the Minister of Economic Development works, judging by the total income, in 4 times more intensively than his wife. The wife of the minister, Sechin, also has a better paying job than her husband, since she filed a declaration, from which it is clear that her income is three times higher than that of Igor Ivanovich. The same is happening in the family of Dmitry Kozak.
Against this background, there are two "ministerial families." First, Khloponin, where the head of the family earned nearly half a billion rubles a year by the sweat. Secondly, Shuvalovs, in which only his wife managed to bring 365 millions of rubles a year into the house, having 7 cars among which, besides the Jaguar and several Mercedes, is listed ... VAZ-2101. Is it possible that Mrs. Shuvalov, in order to provide for her family, “bombards” at her “penny” through the city streets with long winter nights ...
In this regard, Olga Shuvalova wants to give non-binding advice: Olga, well, take you Svetlana Medvedeva as your partner - you’re sorry for a woman - she has three 27 rubles in all accounts. She seems to have a driver's license - it means that you can take a two of them together, but somehow it turns out to be dishonest - for 27 rubles she’s not even in the “face control” metro, and you won’t ask my husband every day for lipstick
