Results of the week. "This is for you guys!"
Press release of the RF Ministry of Defense:
Fallen 3 February 2018 in the battle with terrorists in the Syrian Arab Republic deputy commander of the squadron of the assault air regiment of the Eastern Military District (VVO) major Roman Filippov is represented by Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergey Shoigu to be awarded the title Hero of the Russian Federation posthumously.
The body of the Russian pilot who died in Syria has been delivered to the Russian Federation
Voronezh bade farewell to Roman Filippov
The last words of the novel: “This is for you guys!” For real - to the depths of the soul. For real. And this means that the person was real. It hurts in the chest that the real ones go. And this leaving leaves a lot of questions about what our final goal in Syria is, given the fact that our "sworn friends" are showing more and more activity there.

To become iron is not enough to be ore.
You have to melt, break.
And, like ore, to sacrifice yourself.
How hard to walk in boots in July.
But you are a soldier, and be able to accept everything:
From the female's kiss to the bullet.
And learn not to retreat in battle.
Readiness for death is also a weapon
And you will use it once ...
Men die, if necessary,
And therefore they live for centuries.

Patrons, apparently, they have nowhere to go,
But the enemy is unaware that the officer
They cannot take a living prisoner.

Such a tactic, a minute break.
Already ready to explode a grenade -
Have time to just pull the check.
It's a shame, yes ... I will not conceal,
I wanted to do a lot more,
But here now, behind a rocky pile,
I know for sure, brothers, we will live!
Flashes closer pack of bearded,
Scent lost, stumble by chance.
Here comes the turn of my grenade ...

Waiting for the third call
The “sweeping out” of the Dagestan elites has become a truly large-scale operation. So, the head of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin flew to Dagestan personally, where he held a meeting with the acting head of the region Vladimir Vasilyev. The topic is clear: work on high-profile cases of major regional officials.
After Makhachkala, inspections and detentions were carried out in Derbent. Local kings tightened in other areas of Dagestan and not only, by the way, Dagestan. During the general cleaning in the North Caucasus region of Russia, the neighborhood’s kings were especially agitated, realizing that it was a matter of elections, and against such a background, Moscow could work ... 13-year-old “Strogach” for the ex-governor of Sakhalin Khoroshavin after a recent verdict and another "Exu" - White - two long calls. But what session can be shown after the third call - intrigue. It is hoped that it is still not about theatrical productions.

It is only important that this does not boil down to replacing one clan with another, and the new government would be able to reduce corruption. Stop the slipping of Dagestan to the tribal archaic and Islamization and establish at least some production.

Croatian MiGs Not Communicated
The Croatian Defense Ministry sent an official note to Kiev in which it demands to pay damages, providing Zagreb with “new aircraft instead of repaired ones with a low level of quality”. In Zagreb, it is noted that the contract involved the exploitation of the MiG-21 even before 2023, however, Croatian pilots state that after repairing it, it is not safe to get behind the wheel of fighters.

Ukraine has undermined NATO’s defense capability, a statement from the Croatian Ministry of Defense. Ukrainian elites, of course, expressed dissatisfaction: they say, how is it? After all, the glorious Ukrainian army has been “holding back the aggressor” for several years now, letting NATO breathe deeply. They say that we are defending the borders of the alliance here, and the Croats because of what slightly incorrectly repaired non-communized MiGs are making claims.
So, gentlemen Croats, you will continue to discredit the freest state of Europe - they will complain to you in Washington “arbitration”. And then, you see, they will force you to buy an F-35 squadron before the end of the day ...

How to draw partners into an arms race?
Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov visits Arsenyevskaya aviation company "Progress" them. N.I.Sazykina (Primorsky Territory), during which he said that the Russian military wants to get into service a super-fast helicopter that can reach speeds of up to 400 km / h.
In order to draw in the enemy into the arms race, without being drawn into it by themselves, the statements of the representatives of the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation are absolutely correct. By the way, why just 400 km / h? We offer another version of the statement:
The Russian military is already close to getting a megaspered helicopter into service with speed parameters of at least 800 km / h and a near space height ceiling. Three layers of Stels-M oil paint are applied to the helicopter, and therefore the rotorcraft remains invisible even to manufacturers.

A problem has been posed. There is no solution. And the USSR had no solution either. Science, partially admitted to the distribution of powers of power, gave the USSR a huge impetus, and an equally huge impetus to the rest of the world. Which was also forced to do a systematic improvement of the procedure for granting authority.
Overpowered the USSR. All attempts to establish a technology transfer of power "from science" were immediately fucked up, and the rat fight again was in favor. Success, tree-stick ...
Is Ukrainian generals stupid?
Israeli instructor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “The generals with whom he had the“ honor ”to communicate are absolutely not professionally suitable, often extremely stupid. Staff exercises in the brigade, I observe with admiration from the side. I have never seen such a well-coordinated work of the headquarters, also according to NATO standards, which is new to Ukraine. Until I noticed the leaves with the text in front of each officer "
Ukrainian expert told about the factor of "advantage" of the Ukrainian army over the Russian Armed Forces

Head of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine: There is a threat of using chemical and nuclear weapons against us
And why are Ukrainian generals so “stupid” right away? Not at all. They are smart, and how smart. After all, only a truly intelligent Ukrainian general could occupy the strategically most successful position on the lower shelf in the steam room, while the Ukrainian army heroically advanced in the opposite direction under Ilovaisk and Debaltseve. Only clever Ukrainian generals can replenish the product range of online stores after the delivery of lethal, non-lethal and not quite lethal weapons Western partners. So they get over it!

Let's hit the detonation engine for sanctions against the officials! ..
In late January, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told the national press about the latest successes of research organizations. Among other topics, he touched on the process of creating jet engines that use new operating principles. Prospective engine with detonation burning has already been brought to the test. According to the vice-premier, the application of the new principles of the power plant allows to obtain a significant increase in performance. In comparison with the structures of traditional architecture, an increase in thrust of the order of 30% is observed.
And once again: Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin told about this - a man whose last name appears in various sanction lists. In various sanctions lists of "partners", but these same "partners" nevertheless use trampolines for the implementation of their programs. What's wrong? Where is the tricky move? Although ... It is clear: strategic thinking - we lull the vigilance of overseas friends, and ourselves - rrj, and a promising engine under their breath as a response to the "Kremlin list."

Fact is there
Moscow was faced with the fact: the second Turkish convoy in support of Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham (Dzhebhat an-Nusra, banned in Russia) was the first outcome of the Sochi Congress, says columnist E. Damantsev.
Angry emotions and misunderstandings in a columnist cause a military-political situation in a regional context: Russia-Syria-Turkey. According to Damantsev, Turkey “deserves at least a good diplomatic tinder”, and at the most - “a forceful demonstration action and being expelled from the list of participants of the Constitutional Commission formed during the Syrian National Dialogue Congress held by 29 and 30 in January 2018”. According to the author, Turkey is not negotiable.
It is worth mentioning the statement of Ilnur Chevik, senior political advisor to President Erdogan. In an interview with the Lebanese edition of AMN, he stated that “there are no plans to transfer the Canton of Afrin to the Syrian government forces after clearing the region of the Kurdish Popular Self-Defense Detachments - YPG”.
Thus, Ankara openly demonstrates disregard for the norms of international law at the diplomatic and military levels.

In such a game, the victims of temporary allies, as well as temporary opponents, are secondary. And it's hard to avoid your victims. But to break the whole strategy because of, sorry for the cruelty, the natural and inevitable losses in such a gadyushnik is wrong.
The losers in this war will have to pay for everything, I hope that for the tears of our guys. The winner will also be total. I do not believe that according to the results of what we see now, everything and everyone will remain in their places, within their borders and in their blocks.
Brown bear, white bear
Only Russia has a sufficient number of icebreakers to accompany any transports that need to go through the periodically freezing waters of the Arctic. But there, in the Arctic, is supposed to be more than 1 / 5 undiscovered oil and gas reserves. Russian, and behind them, the Chinese can oust the United States from the Arctic. So, you need to "fight" for the Arctic. Other experts urge the White House to do this.
Horror stories about Russia, which intends to "militarize" or even "conquer" the Arctic in collusion with the Chinese, can be told by the gentlemen of the Western militarists, who benefit from the arms race itself.
A nuclear war due to the wealth of the Arctic, whoever started it, would be the last war in the history of mankind. The history of this very humanity would have ended in the first days of this war.

No conspiracy, gentlemen
The visit of the heads of three Russian special services (SVR, FSB and GRU) to the USA is an unprecedented event. Officials on both sides explain everything with the tasks of fighting terrorism.
Of course, Washington and Moscow could discuss the “fight against terrorism” quietly, without the noise of the press. And this visit has become downright demonstrative. Three flew to the States by regular flights, observer V. Kamenev notes. In addition, Ambassador Antonov drew the attention of the American public to this visit in order to give it adequate weight.
On the other hand, if we discard the veil of conspiracy, a sensible question arises: why not accept the fight against terrorism for the truth? Why look for a double bottom where it is not?
In Syria, the US military coalition and the Russian military are quite close, and the IG terrorists (banned in the Russian Federation) are a common threat to both Russia and Western states. About the attacks in Europe and the United States, everyone probably heard. They also heard everything about the constant movement of militants from the Middle East or from the north of Africa to Europe. Finally, the issue of Afghanistan could be discussed: the Americans have repeatedly stated (ignoring the arguments) that the Russians are arming the Taliban there (banned in the Russian Federation).
An open visit was needed so that Trump's opponents wouldn’t start their record about “Putin’s agent” in the White House again.

Why is Russia so important in this issue? Because of the North Caucasus (mainly, but not only, the inflow to Wahhabis from the Muslim diasporas is growing throughout the Russian Federation). Where the most radical and dangerous Islamists come from is the United States felt in Detroit. But in general, at such a tense time, such a meeting can have a great deal to affect a certain weakening of aggressive, military rhetoric and all kinds of provocations.
Iturup - not the "northern territory"
Russian Prime Minister D. Medvedev, by his decree, allowed the RF Ministry of Defense to deploy military aircraft on Iturup, one of the islands, because of which Japan is having a “dispute” with Russia. Foreign analysts believe that the Kremlin “trampled” the Japanese’s dream of “returning” at least part of the Kuril Islands.
It's funny, we note that quite recently, at the end of January, 2018, right on the threshold of Medvedev’s decree, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe once again declared about the great potential of Russian-Japanese relations, having curtailed the “territorial issue” out of habit. “We will deepen the Japanese-Russian relations, further promoting the plan of cooperation in eight areas, joint economic activities on the four northern islands. [...] Having solved the territorial issue, we will conclude a peace treaty with Russia. ”
Now it is clear that Tokyo prefers to “deepen” not Japanese-Russian ties, but Japanese-American ones. What causes opposition in the form of D. Medvedev’s decrees. The opposition is logical, since Moscow constantly states that the question of the ownership of the southern Kuril Islands does not exist: it is closed. There is no sense in discussing Russia's sovereignty.
The current position of the Kremlin is known not only in Russia, but also in Japan. Surely something about this heard and Shinzo Abe. Here it is: following the Second World War, the Kuril Islands became part of the USSR. The Russian Federation is the successor of the USSR. Point.

The situation is "just awful"
According to the expert report of the Munich Security Conference, today the likelihood of a war between Europe and Russia has grown. The European Union and Russia are "on the edge." The state of affairs is “just awful,” experts complain.
At the conference, the US will be represented by Secretary of Defense James Mattis, presidential adviser on national security, General Herbert McMaster, twelve senators, and others. The EU will be represented by the head of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, and several European commissioners. Prime Minister Theresa May arrives from the UK. For the first time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will attend the Munich Conference.
During the event, a meeting in the “Norman format” is planned, dedicated to the settlement of the conflict in the east of Ukraine.
Perhaps, discussing in an informal setting the sore themes, the main parties, that is, the European Union and Russia, will still find a way to move away from the terrible "edge"?

Thousands of Englishmen will die soon ...
An attack of hysteria occurred in the British political establishment. The hype was raised with the filing of the newly elected head of the British defense Gavin Williamson, who, in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, made a resonant statement about the "death of thousands of citizens of Albion from the upcoming strike of the Russian Armed Forces on infrastructure and energy facilities."
To make the picture even more serious, Williamson referred to some photographs from the British Army and Defense Intelligence, allegedly depicting “suspicious intelligence activity of Russians near British power plants,” and also indicated that the Russian side (obviously, it was an underwater component fleet) explores the architecture and computerized control points of energy branches connecting the island nation with Western Europe. At the end of the interview, he summed up that “Russian Armed Forces are preparing a cyber attack or missile strike” at the above facilities.
Similar hysterical seizures occur with Londoners regularly. The question arises: what else did Mr. Williamson expect after reconnaissance flights of RC-135V / W “Rivet Joint” strategic intelligence aircraft a few dozen kilometers from the most important radio-technical units of the Western Military District located in the Kaliningrad and Leningrad regions? Moreover, Wilmson’s statements cannot but cause outright laughter against the background of the continuing dependence of Great Britain on Russian gas.
For example, in 2016, end consumers in Britain received about 4 billion cubic meters. m. of Russian gas through a subsidiary company Gazprom Marketing & Trading. Russia is well acquainted with all the peculiarities of the architecture of this communication; nothing needs to be “investigated”.
Finally, Russia is trading, not attacking. It’s just that it has become fashionable in the West to invent horror stories, then to believe in them, and then to build on fabrications exciting political “statements”, decorating them with artistic passages about “the death of thousands of citizens of Albion from the coming strike of the Russian Armed Forces.”

Expropriation of expropriators in English
In the Russian media, the Party of Growth candidate Boris Titov is widely commented on the trip to London by the candidate for the post of President of Russia from the Party of Growth. Titov - authorized by the President of Russia for the rights of entrepreneurs and co-chairman of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia". It turns out that in London, Mr. Titov met with runaway Russian businessmen, and following its results, he handed over to the President of Russia a list of businessmen who allegedly wanted to return home along with the capital that had been taken to London. They say that others are really interested in the idea of returning to their native shores. There is information that they agreed to discuss this topic: who will return, under what conditions and what capital will he bring to Russia.
Moscow: "Chichvarkin and others, home ..."; London: "And I will ask their wallets to stay"
However, it was not there. In vain, perhaps, the British authorities gave political asylum to Russian oligarchs, unscrupulous bankers and other dubious entrepreneurs? According to analyst G. Granovsky, it's time to pay for hospitality. And the means for this has already been introduced into the law.
In Britain, the concept of "wealth of unexplained origin" is legalized. It includes financial assets in bank accounts, foreign-owned companies, castles, houses, apartments, jewels, works of art and various other valuables. And now, if there is a court decision, all these assets can be ... nationalized! And, of course, Russian capital will soon be the main target of British financial expropriation.

She won't break up
There will be no changes under Putin. Putin will be fine, he will die his own death. But then a thaw will begin in the country, and Russia will disintegrate into pieces. This is the hard way to resurrection. About this tells the writer and journalist S. Loiko.
After Nicholas I, who was holding Russia in tight rein, was Alexander II with his abolition of serf slavery. After Stalin Khrushchev emerged with his famous "thaw". So after Putin, “a colossal thaw will break out, all political prisoners, absolutely everything, will be released from prison.” But then ... “Russia will fall apart. To rise from a millennial dream, a millennial nightmare, a millennial slavery, in order to survive, Russia must die, ”the Russian website InoSMI quotes journalist Loyko.
Another journalist, Briton Sh. Walker, adds the following to The Guardian: Putin does not like to make decisions today and prefers to postpone them for tomorrow.
As for the Russian "elites", they are terribly frightened by all this ...
Obviously, the opinions of various analysts and journalists watching Russia and its elections agree on one thing: Putin will be elected again in March 2018, and his government will hardly be overshadowed by his rule. Everything will be the same as it was before: zero change, stability, the absence of any real development programs and many words behind which lies something "very vague."
However, the situation will change dramatically in the 2024 year, when Putin will not go to the new presidential term. And this is the year that those whom the authors of foreign materials call the Russian elite frighten. It seems like there will be no Russia without Putin. At least, the former Russia. This is indicated by the Kremlin’s opponents and supporters. Liberals, monarchists, and people from among the "centrists" say.
Is Russia so weak that it rests on one person? Hardly. And the examples that Loyko cited about the “thaws” are unconvincing because the country did not fall apart under Alexander II or Khrushchev.
