Results of the week. There are too many Russia in the world
The first Tu-160 bomber-bomber with a production number 804, built after a long break, took to the skies at the flight test station of the Gorbunov Kazan Aviation Plant.
Against the background of the beginning of flight tests of the Tu-160 built (after a long break) in Kazan, President Vladimir Putin said that the experience with supersonic aircraft should be extended to civilian Aviationadding that the technology and principles of building an economy have changed since the Tu-144. Someone after such a statement remembered that the elections were coming, and about history with New Vasyuki also remembered; someone thought that the words of the president have a reasonable grain. The head of the UAC did not look for the words, and "farsightedly" stated that the corporation already has developments on a supersonic civilian liner. And if Putin asked to show, would the drawings of the Tu-144 be otkserili? ..

If they take them away, it means they recognize the Crimea for Russia, and so it stands on its stands, Russia is responsible for the property that it “annexed” together with the Crimea.
It would be necessary for ours to make an official proposal to Ukraine and warn that it is not responsible for the property of the Russian Federation. Do you want - take away, no - later we will ask you to pay for storage.

About Su-57 and Discovery TV Channel
The fifth-generation Russian fighter, the Su-57, has begun flying with the aviation weapons of a new generation. This was told by Boris Obnosov, Director General of Tactical Missile Armament Corporation (KTRV).
Users complained that the manufacturer, they say, provides too little information about the performance characteristics and armaments of the Su-57, does not disclose the details of the fighter’s drawings, and does not use the capabilities of Discovery Channel at all. And why should ours spend money on it ... After all, there is the American National Interest magazine, where Dave Majumder’s Su-57 article may appear tomorrow with a total analysis of how the Russian 5 fighter can defeat NATO even before official delivery to Armed Forces of the Russian Federation ...

Young people again missed?
From a message from an information portal: “A group of schoolchildren of Tyumen became a participant in a football tournament that is held by the well-known fast food brand KFC. The logo of Tyumen football players includes a criminal star and an obscene slogan. In the description of the team it is noted that it includes boys aged from 14 to 16 years. " We are talking about groups that are related to the actually banned AUE (“the prisoner regime is one” or some kind of terry heresy from this series)
So if young people are not involved, then it is not only “a criminal star and an obscene slogan” otchebuch ... By the way, we often blame modern youth for the fact that the state, school, parents pay little attention to it - the Internet, social networks, everything. In the USSR, a lot of attention paid to young people? The answer is categorical: Yes, a lot. Pioneerism, Komsomol. But after all, bad luck: for some reason, even hyper-care did not allow these organizations to be preserved, nor the state itself. And the former Komsomol activists quickly pereobulsya in ardent anti-Soviet, and even Russophobes.
In general, it would be better if the golden mean, but here is where else to get ... Question ...

I believe that such problems grow like a cancer, and the Internet becomes a vessel for its distribution. Can do like in China? Strict online censorship, with access only to approved resources? But will this society accept? No, not today ... The network corrupts young people, without communication in the network, all these communities and hobby groups would be local hot spots.
Superfluous will not
Most experts appreciate the latest development, but it is believed that this combat vehicle, which has a powerful 125-mm cannon, has very weak machine-gun armament - just one machine gun, and that caliber 7,62-mm.
When there are judgments about what should be changed or corrected in the armament of equipment that has not even been delivered to the troops, then the first emotion is bewilderment. T-14 has not really had time to touch the tankers directly - in real combat training conditions - and some experts already offer, offer, offer. No, of course, rationalization offers are a useful thing, but this is when there is a budget, real money in your pocket and troop requests for a specific functionality of a vehicle. When at least one thing falls out of this list, then all the arguments in any case boil down to something like the following: what if you put an air defense system on the T-14 tower ...

Ukraine? - For the door!
Ukrainian media publish materials in which there are tirades of indignation of representatives of the Ukrainian delegation to the PACE. This indignation is due to the fact that completely unexpectedly for the representatives of the Ukrainian delegation from the PACE meeting room, they were asked to leave.
Pushkov - PACE: Demand the payment of our contributions from Ukraine
Well, they asked the Ukrainian delegation in the PACE to stand outside the door, while serious issues are being resolved, so modern Ukraine is not the first time. Well, when Ukraine was “occupied” as part of the USSR, it had all the powers up to presenting its position in the United Nations and the administration of a de facto independent economic policy as part of the Union. And now - democracy. It is said: for the door, it means - for the door!

The National Interest is our ...
20 in January, the American edition of The National Interest published in the The Buzz column an article “Russia Just Might Have the Perfect Weapon to Crush 'Swarm' Attacks” (“Russia can have the perfect weapon to destroy the attacking "packs"). Publication by Sebastian Robblin was attributed to the topics “Security” and “Middle East”. As follows from the title, the subject of the article was modern anti-aircraft complexes, which were proposed to be considered in the light of the events of early January in the area of Hamim base.
And here is the same National Interest, which knows everything about Russian weapons. As previously noted, this American magazine creates such advertising for Russian weapons that Rosoboronexport should already think about deducting interest from transactions. Thanks to NI for the promotion of Russian weapons in the world and for the fact that we ourselves learned about the existence of the ideal weapon against the drowning of drones.

For the destruction of mines, a reaction of a different level is required, then completely different location means capable of fixing targets with a very small EOC and kmk are somewhat different weapons. It’s good that missile targets are being destroyed.
Nikolaevich I
Quite recently, there was news that a small-sized short-range missile was created for the Panther, specifically to combat the attacking object being protected with ammunition ("anti-aircraft nail") ... it changes in a certain way the "look" at the Pantsir-good, that there were specialized and cheap (I hope!) anti-aircraft missiles! Well, what is the cost of the "fully packaged" SAM "Pantsir"? Maybe you should think about a cheaper "trimmed" version of this air defense system, focused on the use of "anti-aircraft nails" 9М311,9М311М, 9М311-1e, 9М340. You can consider, as an option, the modernization of the “Shilka” with the equipment of MM-radar with a phased antenna array, an OEC with a low-level camera, a thermal imager, a laser range finder, a designator; programmable frag-beam projectiles, light anti-aircraft missiles with PAL-GOS (modernized Strela-3, Igla), modernized Verba (IR + UV-Contrast GOS) with an increased warhead.
What "sew" Russian?
The latest events no longer hint, but openly confirm that we are not talking about any fight against doping. The point is the desire to humiliate Russia at any cost.
Russian Olympians clamped down, and in the Kremlin "deeply" regret
They dismiss, as it is already clear, even to the most positively inclined masters and ladies with respect to the IOC, not for doping. Dismiss simply because Russia has a sport, and that Russia is on the world map. Remember why Obama "boycotted" the Sochi Olympics? After all, then there was still no Ukrainian conflict or the Crimean referendum. - Said that, they say, in Russia infringe the rights of homosexuals. Now these same “homosexuals” are trying to dictate to Russia, in the form and with the flags of what color to appear not only to athletes, but also to fans. The Internet has already been born:
Why did the IOC allow the Russian fans to carry the Russian flag? - Someone told the IOC that if the Russians were banned, the Serbs would carry two of their flags, and the Russians would simply turn one of them in the stands. And if the Serbs do not carry it, then these Russians can completely take away the flags from the Dutch, tear them up into three pieces and sew their tricolor with quick stitches right at the stadium.

He betrayed the country, betrayed the people, capitulated under a white rag, well, get what you deserve in full. Vlasov for this hanged, of course no one will hang them, but I personally will not regret that they wiped their feet on them and smeared them in shit.
Just if they still do not refuse to participate in the games, this shame will continue until the team leaves three cripples, who will take the last place, and then say "well, they say, look, Russia cannot do anything without doping." In this dope themselves will eat buckets, asthmatic skiers, and other athletes with all sorts of "syndromes" ...

Kurds: Moscow is to blame for everything
Syrian Kurds have sharply criticized Russia's position on the Turkish operation in northern Syria. The commander-in-chief of the Kurdish armed detachments of YPG, Sipan Hemo, stated that "Moscow has entered into an anti-Kurd military alliance with an occupying country - Turkey." According to Hemo, Russia "betrayed the Kurds, violating the previously concluded agreements."
An interesting movie turns out! When did Russia become an ally of the Kurds? Who and in what expressions declared this to the whole world - and even so, that the top Kurds declared betrayal and Russia's entry into the “anti-Kurd military alliance”? Maybe the Kurds have signed a defense agreement with Moscow? Maybe somewhere there is a signature of Mr. Shoigu?
Mr. Chemo should not have told at all about the betrayal of Russia. He had to talk about the treachery of the United States, which up to a certain point sympathized with the Kurds and even had nothing against an independent Kurdish state.
However, in the USA this word will not be understood anyway: there is treachery - an element of strategy.

Not put on that horse?
The destruction of the Kurdish enclaves in northern Syria is the undisguised goal of the Turkish government. This goal became apparent after the failed coup in the summer of 2016. The military operation "The Euphrates Shield" had the task of preventing the Kurdish territories from uniting into one whole and, if possible, discarding the Kurdish military formations beyond the Euphrates.
Sturm Afnina as a solution to Russia's problems with the help of Turkish blood
Bonuses from the possible failure of the "Olive Branch": the United States is looking for tools to deploy contingent in the west of Aleppo
What does this mean for Kurds in northern Syria?
Kurdish self-defense forces in Afrin are doomed. Doomed from the moment they tied their fate to the United States. From the very moment when they chose their “ally”, their defeat was a matter of time.
Washington chose to abandon the "union" and leave the Kurds in Afrin one-on-one with the Turks. The Kurds can now hope only for the help of the troops of Bashar Assad: to take his power and declare the area a territory under the control of the government. Maybe it's not too late? ..

Kremlin, give a billion!
Jordan is unhappy: US President Trump "ignores" her, while he strengthens ties with Saudi Arabia. On this subject argues Beirut newspaper «Ad-Diyar». Jordan is outraged by the financial issue: the Trump administration has previously allocated the Jordanian army 750 million dollars and has promised to increase funding to 1,5 billion. However, Trump chose to forget about it. And now Jordan is supposedly thinking of an “air military base” for ... Russia. True, the Russians must first give Jordan a billion dollars. And then give another billion every year. Apparently, instead of Americans.
Obviously, the intensity of contacts between Russian and Jordanian people has indeed been growing recently, but allowing not only the creation of a large airbase in the kingdom, but Jordan’s multibillion-dollar financing at a time when the Russian economy is in permanent crisis, seems to be absolutely fantastic project.
The statements of the Lebanese press admitting Jordan’s Russian “defense” against Israel also come from the realm of fantasy. Obviously, some people in Jordan or Lebanon believe that Russia can afford to print as much money as the United States, and at the same time support the full weight of the ruble with military operations and military bases around the world. Jordan probably learned from the press about the rapid spread of Russian military bases around the world: earlier it was reported that Moscow could “get” military bases in Sudan, then in Egypt, and also participate in military operations in Libya in some way.
As for the supply of C-600 to Iran, mentioned in the same Beirut newspaper, there is absolutely nothing to comment on. Apparently, someone receives reports directly from the future.

Counteract deterrence together
Beijing and Moscow should stand up to pressure from Washington together, said the military attache of the Chinese embassy in Russia, Major General Kui Yanwei.
At a meeting with Viktor Bondarev, Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, Kui Yanwei noted that in the new Pentagon strategy, China and Russia are seen as threats to the United States. “The United States with Western countries in the European part is holding back Russia, and in the Asian part is holding back China,” the military attache said.
In his opinion, Moscow and Beijing need to jointly counteract global threats, as well as “challenges from the United States and its allies,” in order to ensure security not only in their own regions, but throughout the world.
By the way, the Chinese diplomat believes that the experience of enhancing the combat training of the Russian army would be useful for the Chinese army. The operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Syria proved the increased level of combat training of the Russian army. “The combat experience of the Russian army is of great importance for the combat training of the Chinese army,” said Kui Yanwei.
However, how exactly someone else’s combat experience will become useful to the Chinese, the diplomat did not elaborate. Combat experience is not the same as equipment. It can not be copied - for that he and the experience that is acquired directly in practice. Or did the Chinese decide to gain experience in Syria?

Russian galactic threat
The US armed forces do not have enough money for the army and navy even after the military budget has been increased by the militarist Trump. By the way, the budget is just under 700 billion dollars. For comparison: in 2016-m the US defense budget amounted to 534 billion dollars, in 2017-m - 580-602 billion.
Americans are passionate about the projects of new destroyers with railguns on board. More than 22,5 billion dollars have already been spent on “two and a half ships”, notes M. Onufienko.
But Trump would do well to remember that the defense expenditures of the two “official” opponents of the United States were: a) 69 billion dollars from Russia; b) 146 billion dollars - from China.
It is possible that the maritime theme is a cover for the White House. In fact, Donald Trump is secretly preparing for war with Mars or the inhabitants of Alpha Centauri.
In principle, Reagan was fond of "star wars", but more in theory, and Trump should go further and build the "Death Star" in practice. This will negate the galactic Russian threat.

It is curious that the future evil genius of Russian weapons left a diary entry about his visit:
"... In general, the Japanese troops made an impression of reliable troops. The lower ranks have military pride. The population treats the army with great love. The non-commissioned officer, officer and horse ...
... I can admit without false shame that the prominent Japanese generals that I have seen are no worse than ours. Be careful to recognize the Japanese military force in its merits as equal to the European. With defense, our battalion can oppose two Japanese battalions. But in the offensive and we need to count double forces. The Japanese are no worse than the Turks, and in some cases they can create for us new Dubniaki and Pleven ... "
Alexey Nikolaevich was soon personally convinced that "no worse."

New American Disease: Strategic Atrophy
The US National Defense Strategy 2018, openly announced by the Pentagon, is a brief retelling of the main document addressed to the broad working people, analytical and conspiratorial masses. The true document is under lock and key, I mean it is classified. But from the abbreviated version it becomes clear that the current United States considers itself systemically weakened. In the text there is even a term like anatomical: “strategic atrophy”.
However, there was a place in the document and optimism. “Today we are leaving the period of strategic atrophy,” the military wrote, “realizing that our military competitiveness, our advantages have been destroyed. We are faced with a growing global chaos, characterized by the weakening of the old world order based on certain rules and creating a more secure environment to this day than all that we have recently observed. ” “For decades, the United States has enjoyed an undeniable, if not dominant, advantage in every field of operations. We could deploy our forces whenever we want, place them where we want, and act as we wish. Today, every sector is contested, be it airspace, land, sea, space or cyberspace, ”the text of the Strategy explains.
The impression is created that the Pentagon needs to mention the “period of strategic atrophy” exclusively in order to officially demand even more cash infusions into the military. For this purpose, numerous enemies are enumerated that constantly “squeeze” the United States from somewhere - now from the Middle East, now from world markets, now from the South China Sea.
It is these enemies that are marked by the perpetrators of the weakening of the “world order” that the United States liked so much and which has now reeled everywhere - from the Middle East to Europe and separately taken by Ukraine and Russia. But the Pentagon’s military do not indicate in their document what kind of forces contributed to the “Arab spring” in North Africa and the Middle East, who welcomed and supported the coup d'etat in Ukraine, who imposed sanctions against Russia and who finally stifled the DPRK sanctions, threatened Pyongyang from the world tribune. There’s nothing to say about Iran - after Obama’s diplomacy, Mr. Trump took yes announced Iran as a sponsor of terrorism.
The entire course of the current administration of the White House is pure confrontation. With regard to the buildup of the arms race and the development of the military-industrial complex, this confrontational course is largely copied from Reaganomics. Whether it will lead to economic and competitive success is another question. At the time of R. Reagan, the American economy was still really American, and not moved to China. Today, such centers of power have manifested themselves, which under Reagan simply did not exist: they were only in their infancy. And to turn them into enemies, scattering them in paragraphs of the "defense" strategy, is the height of the stupidity and the very complacency that Pentagon experts dismiss.

These thoughts (in one form or another, in one context or another) have increasingly begun to flash in the foreign press.
In essence, this means that the US military indicates to bankers and financiers their real place, with a kick from a soldier’s boot.
Tenacious Russia
There are too many Russia in the world. The topic of Russia takes up column by column in major foreign media, winning back space from domestic news. Some experts in the United States believe that “obsession” with Russia has already gone beyond reasonable limits, and the endless American debates about Moscow have not led to any results. Russia turned out to be not only too much for American strategists, it also turned out to be too tenacious.
While prominent experts in the United States are proposing to discuss the “Western” topic of Russia, this topic itself has turned into an “Eastern” one. According to Stratfor, several years of deteriorating relations with the United States and Europe are pushing Moscow to revise its priorities and strategies. In 2018, Moscow will focus not on the West, but on the Asia-Pacific Region (APR), as well as on the Middle East.
The more shouts towards Moscow, the more sanctions, the less “Western” will remain in Russia and the less positive the Kremlin will expect from the United States. This is an objective political and economic process, and there is no need to talk about anyone's isolation.
Barack Obama insisted that Russia was “isolated” already in his reign, and the Russian economy was even “torn to shreds”, but the Americans still issue sanctions, and the Russian economy in the real sector has even grown up. According to Rosstat, by the end of 2017, industrial production in the country increased by 1% compared to 2016 of the year.
The growth is insignificant, and yet it’s impossible to talk about a torn economy. That is why Washington is constantly working on some new sanctions. Obviously, according to American strategists, Russia is not only too much, it is also too tenacious.

And the last Americans are the most annoying. We thought we would impose sanctions, and if the "economy is in tatters", then they will come running and will repent without a doubt. And then a bummer, and even with Syria, they were put in an uncomfortable position in front of the world. That rage, fall into hysterics. And one should not expect that they will go crazy and everything will be normalized - this is a fairy tale for the Russian liberal.
Plan of Russian resettlement in the Baltic States (owl. Secret)
Millions of Russians rush to Europe, fleeing from the "Kremlin imprisonment," reports the German public television channel Das Erste. The authoritarian policy of the Kremlin is pushing the emigration of the Russian people.
Here are the data of the Levada Center: Fifteen percent of the citizens of the Russian Federation are sitting on suitcases. They are going to Europe or even to the West. True, they are at heart with Russia.
And it is possible not in percents, but in millions. “In the following years, fifteen million people may leave Russia,” said Vyacheslav Postavnin, the former deputy director of the Federal Migration Service.
So, according to the forecasts of some experts, in the coming years (obviously, in the new Putin’s term), about fifteen million people will move from Russia to Latvia and Estonia. All these people will become real migrants, that is, those who will constantly live abroad. And it will be "young scientists, entrepreneurs, cultural figures."
If we were conspiracy theorists, we would assume that a secret plan is being implemented for the peaceful exploration of the expanses of the Baltic. But we are not conspiracy therapists. Therefore, we only recall the “most likely” forecast from K. Novikov, a researcher at the international laboratory of political demography of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. According to this forecast, the population of the Russian Federation will begin to decline from 2018, and by 2050, it will decrease by almost 14 million. By the beginning of 2050, only 130,3 million people will live in Russia.
