Results of the week. "Restrain Russia failed"
The announcement of the message to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation by President Vladimir Putin at first promised to make the evening (day) languid, however, when the main audience was already preparing to switch to something ethereally different (for example, watering glasses), an information storm broke out. The systems monitoring the ratings of the airs demonstrated a rapid growth of these very ratings at the very moment when Vladimir Putin’s demonstration of modern and promising Russian weapons began, some of which, as the president said, are able to overcome any air defense barriers and have already put on expert - combat duty.
Vladimir Putin: Russia has hypersonic and laser weapons
Like in that movie: “I told you not to growl! ..”
In the United States, after Vladimir Putin’s speech, some began to squeak, that the American super-mega-hyper sound would be against the Russian hypersound, you just need to print first, then allocate another 100500 billion dollars to the Pentagon; others (for example, the State Department) said that Russia had created a “destabilizing weapon". It must be assumed that everything created by the United States was extremely stabilizing - to the extent that it was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Now it is clear why in the USA “through one” are the Nobel laureates of the Peace Prize. Well, it turns out they are stabilizers ...

Tanks in the city or ... in the garden
In Mariupol port, at least 2 or 3 tank companies made up of 20 - 30 T-64BV, “covered” with “Contact-1” dynamic protection, arrived. About two weeks ago, the railway tracks were tracking elements of the Buk-M1 troop-and-missile system (self-propelled 9А310М1 self-propelled guns and 9А39 launcher). But if this air defense system was unloaded in Mariupol in addition to the existing C-300PS to create an "air defense umbrella" (in case of response actions of the Russian Aerospace Forces on Operation United Forces against LDNR), then the platforms with T-64BB went to unload into Volnovakha.
These Ukrainian perturbations (let you down - I will take it back - let you down again) with weapons almost for 4, have, unfortunately, become commonplace. It is simply not worth being so naive as to assume that the owners of this Ukrainian government will leave Ukraine alone. Of course not. Well, not in the interests of these same masters at least some stabilization near the borders of Russia, but because provocations and warfare with someone else’s hands “to the last Ukrainian” will continue, despite all the statements about the “focus on the world.” They will say - and trample on "as pretty ones" before the next version of Ilovaisk or Debaltseve or before chewing a tie with His sweetness - the head (and not only from the word "chocolate").

It is non-volatile, and what did you think?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine sent a protest note to Moscow because of the presidential election in Crimea on March 9th. This was praised on Twitter by the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Pavel Klimkin. He promised all those taking part in the elections in Crimea new sanctions and the lack of polling stations in Ukraine.
"Talking helmet" of Ukraine: LDNR may cease to exist in a few weeks
And this should happen: as soon as Ukraine made statements about the end of the LDNR in a few weeks, another attack of the wildest Russian aggression happened: Gazprom decided to fasten the valve during the March frosts. And non-volatile Ukraine, as Poroshenko announced the other day, switched to fuel oil and immediately began knocking a foot on the iron door of the EU to sell non-volatile Ukraine more gas, because ... it's cold. The Ukrainian Ministry of Education has circulated a document stating that all educational institutions, in order to save money, need to go home first, before 6, and then before March 12. Poroshenko spoke in person, stating that every Ukrainian will remain Ukrainian only if the heating radiators in his apartment or house are cold - in order to save. Otherwise, Moskal Moskal ... Itself, he says, has already lowered the temperature of hot water in the jacuzzi by half a degree - from a sense of solidarity.
Who else doubted energy non-square? Break down! Emphasis lying take ...

As I understand it, Klimkin gathered millions of people to plant in concentration camps, and destroy the recalcitrant with the help of the Nazi Bandera.
Madness ... he understands little what fate awaits him in the case of the implementation of this plan.
If he and his ilk decide on this, then a loop around his neck on a Russian birch will be guaranteed to him.

That threat is not a threat
The main European allies of the United States in NATO completely ignore the "Russian tank threat"
NATO in the morning: Russia does not threaten NATO, we are conducting a dialogue on a number of issues.
NATO at lunch: Russia behaves aggressively, and therefore NATO was forced to move to the borders of the Russian Federation well in advance — how they felt ...
NATO in the evening: Russia threatens European security, but we are still ready to continue the dialogue.
NATO at night (Europe is falling asleep, the United States is waking up): Russia is the main threat, we are extending sanctions, we are doing everything to save the world, opening 820 and 821 military bases. Print more money.

But you should not relax. Most likely, the West simply hopes to destroy us without massive military actions, for which there are considerable prerequisites. Our army is small, the civilian population is not trained even to the very basics, the quality and motivation of mobresurs are at a minimum that has not been seen in thousands of years. Simply put, the people are not able and willing to fight with anyone.
And by the way, how many of those “full-fledged tank divisions” do we have to drive these Skimitars with a pissing rag? But our “partners” have more and more light and high-speed armored vehicles capable of massively destroying the unarmed civilian population. What is it for?

The helicopter link turns a tank battalion into a pile of scrap metal, even worse for tanks are light-fast armored vehicles equipped with PTUurs and grenade launchers with the same Javelines, against which the tank is powerless. And the stories of the TV channel “Zvezda” which are cool, invulnerable, the best tanks in the world are nothing more than advertising and have nothing to do with life.

About new ships and hulls
Perhaps the most interesting projects currently are the modernization of the aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral fleet Soviet Union Kuznetsov "and heavy nuclear missile cruisers of the project 1144" Orlan ".
Of course, I would like for 10 the newest warships per month, a threefold increase in incomes of the population and full import independence, but so far everything does not grow together. Often and individually does not grow together either. However, it is the lot of the weak or excessively fattened by the famous cookies to make a dude about the fact that “bukfalnofsefopalo”. The bad thing is that there are enough of these "fattened" among the representatives of the leadership, so to speak, of the link. If you shout about patriotism from the stands, but at the same time declare hopes of lifting the sanctions, and keeping money in an Austrian bank or in the form of real estate in Spain - no new ships in new buildings will help.

Supersonic, hypersound. What's next?
In the Russian Federation, an unmanned shock complex of a large radius of action capable of developing a supersonic speed is being developed.
After the news that hypersonic weapons are on experimental combat duty, statements about the creation of a supersonic drone should not be surprised. At this rate, and before the real flight to the moon is not so far away.
Well, at least dream ...

In court - on the pipe
The more often information arrives that another European company has expressed interest in participating in the Nord Stream - 2 project, the greater the number of “hamsters” announcing the threat of a literally “universal catastrophe” in the case of this project.
European environmentalists even sued Nord Stream 2. Sprat, they say, all the trouble - AstanAvITIS! .. Pipe, they say, how much in vain, infringe upon the freedom of mollusks and other inhabitants of the Baltic depths. Now, if used, they say, then there was a democratic pipe - well, at least the Norwegian one, then the sprat would dance with joy. And so - aggression, annexation of part of the Baltic bottom.
And why are the majority of "European" environmentalists Ukrainian and American names? ..

For C-500
Production of anti-aircraft missile systems (ZRS) C-500 and C-400 on the automobile chassis has already begun at the Nizhny Novgorod machine-building plant.
In "Almaz-Anthea" talked about the difficulties with the new AAMS C-500
But what is it ... The "partners" did not have time to wake up from the blow of nuclear rocket engines on the head, like a new shock. Russia completely belted. Lined from head to toe with sanctions and waste products of the Unified State Examination, OGE and other “GE”, C-500 also produces. And ... although there are some C-500 ... Many knowledgeable people say that this is all inflatable - not only the SAMs themselves, but also factories and even workers and engineers. The pump, they say, Putin personally in the office stands to keep control of those who are blown away.

Most of all this news pleases.
Like the Russians all were bombed. In the foreign press
The Western press has organized a whole campaign of accusing Russia of the bombing of Eastern Guta, which resulted in "mass casualties" among civilians.
Earlier, on February 22, Moscow rejected a draft resolution on the suspension of hostilities in the Eastern Guta area in the suburbs of Damascus. The resolution was introduced by Sweden and Kuwait with the support of the United States. And the very next day after the resolution was rejected, the Western media began to publish essays on the topic of Eastern Guta. Radio Liberty has released a material entitled: “Eastern Guta: the second Aleppo? Moscow vetoed the UN. ” Russia and Syria were accused of bombing Guta and 350 killing civilians.
In the race called “Who will blame Russia faster?”, Recalls the columnist Vladimir Lytkin, such famous “peace activists”, such as the Syrian Center for Monitoring Human Rights Observance (London), joined in. These “fighters” buried 500 civilians, including 120 children. Just as many people died "during the bombing of Eastern Guta."
Enchanting nonsense: they have not yet blamed Russia?
Israeli satellite recorded the base of the Su-57 in Syria
Details of the upcoming baptism of Su-57 in the Middle Eastern sky. No chance of "opening" the enemy
The reverse side of caps
Other media have issued such materials that already captures the spirit. For example, in the material IA "REX" the following heading came up: “Revenge for“ Wagner ”: Su-57 is crumbling Americans in Ghut PMCs. Su-57 equalized [an error in the original. “Auth.] With the land of Eastern Guta, along with the American soldiers“ who are not there ”- around 2000 GI from USPs, the US will remain in the land of Syria forever.”
It turns out that the Russians, along with the civilian population, also bombed the Americans!
It is unpleasant to read these free essays, but apparently you should: you should know what the information and strategic enemy thinks of you. If it is being conducted infoveyna, then it must go to victory. And the one who knows how the enemy is fighting comes to victory.
As for the mentioned Su-57, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told reporters that two Russian Su-57 successfully completed a two-day test program in Syria: “They really were there. Were not long, two days. During this time, completed the test program, including combat. I can say that the tests were successful. Planes returned home a week ago. ”

The Indian Defense Ministry sent an instruction to the Air Force to review the technical task for the purchase of 114 single-engine multi-role fighters, which had already been prepared for two years. According to Defense Weekly, "the revised assignment should include the possibility of acquiring also twin-engine fighters."
In fact, before it could begin, the Indian tender for the purchase of single-engine fighters should turn into a tender for the purchase of fighters in general. "
The competition "should be focused on the overall combat capabilities of the platform, and not on the demand for single or twin-engine fighters," a military source told the publication. According to him, it is planned to purchase only a limited number of ready-made aircraft, the rest will have to be produced in India.
In fact, only two participants actually got into the program on single-engine fighters: Lockheed Martin with the F-16 Block 70 fighter variant and the Swedish Saab AB with its multipurpose Gripen JAS-39E / F aircraft. Formally, the tender for the program was not announced, but both the alleged participants have already acted in partnership with private Indian manufacturers.
Official representatives of the Indian defense industry foresee that the new tender will be offered mainly those platforms that competed in the MMRCA program (closed in 2015 year). These include the Eurofighter Typhoon, Rafale, the Russian MiG-35, the Swedish Gripen JAS-39E / F and the American Lockheed Martin F-16IN and Boeing F / A-18E / F Super Hornet.

Air defense for enemies?
Since Russia began to export for the first time unparalleled C-300 / C-400 SAM systems in the world, there is a never-ending debate in the patriotic press about the justification of such transactions, writes columnist Yury Selivanov.
This wave of bewilderment reached its climax after the announcement of the supply of Turkey's C-400 complex, "the obvious enemy who shot down a Russian plane." About Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which also announced their intention to acquire Russian air defense systems, in this sense, you can not even speak.
The point here is this. In the future, more and more countries that are on the path of asserting national sovereignty and liberation from overly obtrusive US custody will follow the example of those who are acquiring air defense systems from Russia. And they will acquire weapons that significantly reduce the ability of the West to dictate their will to them by military means.
In this sense, the Russian air defense / missile defense systems are becoming the number one geopolitical weapon - a sort of Archimedean lever of world politics that can move the geopolitical earthly axis.

As well as the invulnerability of Russian military air power! Why trade your military advantage with your potential opponents?

Secret shot
A group of US naval ships entered the Mediterranean. On the eve of the amphibious airborne group consisting of UDC (helicopter carrier) "Iwo Jima", the docking ship "New York", the landing ship "Oak Hill" and the supply vessel "Ulyam Maklin" passed the Strait of Gibraltar. This became known after the publication of relevant data by the international system for the identification of ships and warships AIS.
In total, over the 3 of thousands of marines are on board the US Navy ship group. According to the latest data, the ultimate goal of this ship group is the Persian Gulf area, the area of responsibility of the American 5 fleet.
Recall that since last year, the American marines are actively preparing for war with the Russians. The US Marine Corps is seriously considering the prospect of an armed clash with Russia.
Lieutenant General Robert Hedelund (Lt. Gen. Robert Hedelund), Commander of the United States Marine Corps in North Carolina, notedthat the marines "must be prepared" to support efforts to counter the "war in Europe." In addition, Hedelund believes that the Marine Expeditionary Force must maintain mobility and be able to carry out crisis response missions. The general is proud of the "vast geography" of his units in Asia, Europe, Africa, South America. The mission of the Marines is changing "against the background of Russian aggression." The corps continues to prepare and deploy "for a number of missions." The general hinted: they say, if somewhere ("anywhere in the world") a shot is heard, "the marines want to be there."
What “shot” did the Marines hear in the Persian Gulf? It is kept secret.

Error sits on error and chases error
American diplomat, former US ambassador to Kuwait and Libya, Deborah Jones, believes that the invasion of Iraq was the most important strategic mistake of the United States in the 21st century.
As the observer Yu. Podolyak assures, the invasion of Iraq was not the cause, but the consequence of an even more important mistake.
The Syrian war and the current frank rapprochement of the positions of Russia, Germany, China "became the turning point after which the Pax Americana project was finally buried, and it was time for the American elites to look for the reasons for their defeat." Deborah Jones believes that the main mistake was the invasion of Iraq. But after all, it itself became a consequence of earlier events. According to Podolyaki, "earlier, the American intelligence services blew up the twin towers in New York, after which the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq became inevitable." “But this action was only a consequence of the fact that the Europeans got out of hand, and they had to be taught a lesson. But this, as we understand it, was only a consequence ... ”- lists the endless chain of Podolia's mistakes. Before that, the Americans themselves "succumbed to the temptation and destroyed the scheme that allowed them to rule the world for 40 years." The fact is that the destruction of the USSR "included a causal chain of events, which the Americans were unable to break." This is what Podolia sees "the main cause of the current decline of American power."
The reason, of course, is amazing. In addition, for conspiracy consisted on yeast dough. The true US mistake, we think, is quite different: in underestimating the strategic opponent - Russia. After the victory in the Cold War, Washington deigned to rest on its laurels, and began to think of Russia as a raw materials appendage of the West. This view was shared by many economists of Russia itself. Life, however, showed that it was too early to talk about a loss.

The path among the ice
For ten months, 2017 passed through the Northern Sea Route to transit 28 ships. Approximately as many passes through the Suez Canal in 10 hours.
If you do not take into account the populism and loud statements of officials, the attractiveness of the Northern Sea Route (SMP) for foreign operators continues to decline, which affects the dynamics of transit freight traffic. In the period 2013-2014. the volume of transit traffic on the SMP decreased in 4 times (from 1,3 million to 300 thousand tons); over the next year, 2015, it has shrunk another 10 time. The 2016 year showed slightly better results (210 thous. Tons), which have since remained at the same level (194 thous. Tons over the 2017 year).
Low results are a consequence of obvious difficulties of a geographical, technical and legal nature. The shortest path is not the easiest. And not too short. The attractiveness of this route is small due to its adverse climatic conditions and the general remoteness from the areas of primary production and consumption.
However, the Northern Sea Route is necessary for Russia to meet its own transport needs. This is precisely indicated by the continuously growing internal freight turnover of the Northern Sea Route, whose figure at the end of 2017 reached 9,7 mln. Tons. Another 797 thousand tons of cargo was transported by river vessels (according to the Federal Agency for Maritime and River Transport).
Domestic shipments between the ports of the NSR water area exceed the transit value fifty times. The main and only reason for the revival on the route of the Northern Sea Route today is the ongoing projects in the field of raw materials production.

Russia is a generous soul!
In February, 2018 Russia forgave Kyrgyzstan a debt of two hundred and forty million dollars. Millions in currency, apparently, to anything Russia. Officially, such a pardon is called the signing of a law on the settlement of Kyrgyzstan’s debt to Russia on previously granted loans. The law was signed by V. V. Putin.
Forgiving debts to foreign “partners” and “friends” has long become a political fashion in Russia. But why? Why is Moscow squandering people's money with such ease? Or no chance of getting something out of the debtor? So is it time to stop the very vicious practice of distributing money to anyone who asks? Is it time to stop arming on credit, build nuclear power plants on credit and so on?
If the Western states that provided loans to tsarist Russia, have shown centuries of patience and still got their money, then why not learn from these enterprising and patient gentlemen of Russia?
You can learn from "non-brotherly" capitalists and something else. Russia in finance for some reason traditionally puts the wrong horse. Maybe it is time to stop the practice of "generous soul" and learn to look at things realistically?
Or in the Kremlin, for example, they believe that Bangladesh is the richest country that will pay a loan for nuclear power plants without problems and make Russia rich in “preferences”? After all, Bangladesh is one of the poorest countries in Asia, the population of this small country periodically goes hungry ...

And let's give them C-400 aside for some horseradish! Both Sudan to the heap.
They themselves will die and others for themselves utyat
Putin’s Russia is dangerous because this country is a dying force. Its future looks bleak, Russia's dependence on the export of raw materials is growing, and the decrepit political system is not in a position to provide for mature changes. Putin provides supporters with payments that security and military officials receive, foreign experts say. However, this "stability" will not go far. The most terrible thing will happen when Russia collapses. The collapse of the Russian Federation will immediately create a threat of nuclear proliferation ...
In short, anything is possible, but ... God forbid!
Foreign experts no longer hide: they are not afraid of the kind of Russia that lives under Putin. They are scared of Russia after 2024, when Putin moves away from power. What a terrible scenario awaits "unlucky" Russia? And how will this affect the fate of the world?
Changes can affect not only the country, but also spread to the whole world. The collapse of the Russian Federation, which is foreshadowed by foreign analysts, will turn half the world into an arena of nuclear proliferation, and then confrontation. Hence the fear of overseas experts: a dying Russia must be more afraid than a living Russia.
In this case, maybe the West should help Russia to become stronger? Less will have to be afraid!
