Results of the week. "London, goodbye, time to go home"
Minus one third
Gazprom chairman Alexei Miller, having met with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev this week, said whether the company intends to terminate contracts with the Ukrainian Naftogaz, and if so, when exactly. According to Alexey Miller, the contract gap cannot be immediate, since a whole range of (bureaucratic) procedures must be observed, and therefore the contract will be terminated not earlier than 2019 of the year.

C-500 on the horizon
One of the most anticipated innovations in the field of Russian weapons and equipment is the promising anti-aircraft missile system C-500, also known by the ciphers "Triumphant-M" and "Prometheus". According to known data, while this project is at the stages of design work and has not advanced further checks of individual components. Nevertheless, the work continues, and soon will give new results. As it became known not so long ago, the defense industry began assembling certain components of the future anti-aircraft complex.
And after we signed a contract with C-400 with Ankara and are going to sign a contract with the Saudis “friends”, you already want it or not, but the process of creating C-500 should be brought to its logical conclusion. After all, the Russian C-400 MANPADS are not some American “analog-free” F-35 in the sense that they also operate Russian MANPADS ... Of course, the functionality will be cut down before the sale, but still ...

Lutsenko immediately decided to come up with trumps. According to him, Savchenko “was preparing an armed attack” on the building of the Verkhovna Rada. The “terrorist attack” was to occur at the very moment when the meeting was taking place there.
After the statements of Geletey Ilovaisky that at the Lugansk airport Russia was beaten with nuclear bombs, one cannot be surprised at the rhetoric on the Maidan Ukraine.

We plowed: me and the tractor
Our Patriarch Kirill arrived in Bulgaria on a visit to participate in the festivities dedicated to the 140 anniversary of the liberation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman yoke.
Patriarch Kirill expressed his opinion on the statement of the Bulgarian President: “Once again I want to tell you very clearly that Russia has liberated Bulgaria. Not Poland, not Lithuania, not other countries, but Russia. And I want to say frankly that it was difficult for me to hear all these references to the participation of other countries in the liberation of Bulgaria. Neither the Polish Diet, nor the Lithuanian Diet made decisions on the beginning of the war with Ottoman Turkey. ”
And as many Bulgarians were offended. Look, as for the Romanians with the Montenegrins, they became insulting. They, they say, also with weapons in the hands of the Turks they beat, and here you are giving yourself the victory. Everything is in the style of "we plowed: me and the tractor." Well, plow further. And if you consider that now Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Montenegro, etc., etc., along with Turkey are an invincible NATO armada, then there’s no plowing there ... Seeking for an external enemy. They will not find it - by the law of the genre they will start searching for the internal one. And, most importantly, what is called, do not go out on yourself ...

Does the Swiss cap know something about Armata?
Western experts have recognized that the Russian tank T-14 "Armata" ahead of the capabilities of manufacturers from other countries for several years. And this circumstance in itself is the main advantage of the new “supertank”, even if it has not yet become an ideal military equipment, writes “RG-Force” with reference to Focus Online.
When the capabilities of the latest Russian military equipment are estimated by the Swiss captain, this is certainly worthy of attention. Known for its armored exploits Switzerland - this is not “here” for you ... The Swiss captain knows more about our brother about “Armat” ...

Dagger MiG-31
As recent reports show, the MiG-31 interceptor is now mastering a new role, turning into a strike aircraft with special tasks.
But not so long ago we were discussing here with a sinful matter the following question: is the Ministry of Defense interested in investing in a real modernization of the MiG-31? Now it is clear: invested, so invested.
The fighter-interceptor has become virtually a strike bomber, which contributed to the initial huge potential of this remarkable Soviet technology. I wonder if the USSR assumed in 1975, when the first flight of the MiG-31 took place, that with more than 40 years they would look at the MiG-31 with no less interest?

Both on rockets, and on carriers!
Militants are preparing a provocation with poisonous substances in Syria to justify a massive US strike on Damascus government quarters, said Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, on Tuesday. According to him, Russia has reliable information on the training by militants of the staging of the use of chemical weapons by government forces against civilians.
Received a statement from the United States. The increase in the number of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems in Syria threatens the ability of the United States to dominate the region’s airspace. The head of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) General Joseph Votel, whose operational area includes the Middle East, East Africa and Central Asia, said this at a hearing in the Senate Committee on Armed Forces of the US Congress.
Recall that Russian bases cover C-300, C-400 and Pantsir complexes capable of fighting low-flying targets, including UAVs. In addition, Russian specialists helped the Syrian military restore the Soviet C-200 system.
As for Washington, Moscow gave him an unequivocal answer. The Russian Defense Ministry is ready to take retaliatory measures against a possible US missile attack on Damascus, if there is a threat to the Russian military, said the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. “At the same time, in Damascus, Russian military advisers, representatives of the Reconciliation Center of the warring parties, and military policemen are in the institutions and facilities of the Syrian Defense Ministry. In the event of a threat to the lives of our servicemen, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take retaliatory measures against both the missiles and the carriers who will use them, ”said Valery Gerasimov.
The statement is extremely clear.

NATO will not intervene for Skripal
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov promised in response to the actions of official London to send British diplomats. According to Lavrov, the Russian side “will necessarily send British diplomats” in response to the measures provided for by international law.
Recall, Britain, using provocation as a pretext for poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter, decided to expel Russian diplomats from the country, calling them “involved in Russian intelligence”. The exile touched the 23 man.
The expulsion of Russian diplomats and the announcement of their "intelligence officers" commented on the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. She called expulsion British paranoia.
The poisoning story even reached NATO. Following the statements of the British government about the "involvement" of Russia in the poisoning in Salisbury of the former GRU Skrypal officer at NATO headquarters, they discussed issues of collective security. A “consultation” took place, one of those resorted to by the NATO states in the event of a “threat to the political independence of one of the NATO states”.
If London decides to declare Violin poisoning "Russia's intervention and violation of political sovereignty," then NATO should "come to the aid of the United Kingdom" by the letter of the 5 article of the NATO Charter, and London itself should make such a request to Brussels. But it turned out that not all members of NATO are eager to "help" Britain. In addition, London itself will not sharpen the issue to such an extent: after all, there is an inevitable refusal that will hurt British pride!
As a result, in the North Atlantic Alliance, “they did not see a reason” for launching the mechanism of the 5 article. ”

F-35B for India? Indian scientists object!
The Indian press is actively discussing US statements on the advancement of F-35B carrier-based fighters for the Indian Navy. Previously, an indirect interest in considering cooperation with the United States on the acquisition of F-35B in exchange for the creation of production facilities for assembling F-16 in India was discussed in New Delhi.
In one of the largest Indian print media, The Hindustan Times, an article was published by Abhijit Ayer-Mitra, lead researcher at the Conflict Studies Institute, and Angad Singh, deputy director of the Indian project Adhira. The article with a fair amount of skepticism tells about whether India needs fifth-generation American deck fighters. The authors of the material point out that it is not enough just to buy several F-35B from the United States: you will have to additionally build the entire infrastructure of the Navy for the operation of these particular combat vehicles.
And really: why does India need such an expensive plane? For the sake of prestige, or what? Or happy friendship of nations? Or maybe for the sake of peace on Earth? Or for the restructuring of all the Navy? Or did the fifth column dig in the government of India, and she plans to destroy the entire state budget in order to please the Americans and the militarist Trump personally?

Propagandists on the teachings
Scheduled for October 2018, large-scale exercises of NATO amphibious forces "Trident Juncture" have not so much military as propaganda value.
It was officially announced that in the fall, the NATO countries would hold large-scale exercises near the borders of Russia, in which 45 will attract thousands of servicemen. This was announced by the commander of the US Marine Corps, General Robert Neller. “This fall, in October, there will be large NATO exercises, perhaps the largest amphibian exercises that were held at the height of the Cold War and were called Trident Juncture,” said Neller. According to him, the maneuvers will be held off the coast of Norway.
Why should Russia not declare, as NATO states do, that we are talking about a planned invasion? Or at least work it out?
Unlike the Baltic countries or Poland, Moscow understands that the whole performance with the upcoming exercises is nothing more than a theater of militarism. And the marines are not the force that would be the number one force in modern warfare.
The new teachings will be just another demonstration of “Euro-Atlantic solidarity”, designed for those who are shy of the “Russian threat,” but in military affairs, they understand little.

The US does not keep up with the Russians
During 2-3 for years, Russia can gain complete control over the Northern Sea Route, it is constantly increasing its presence in the Arctic, the United States does not have time for it, reports TASS statement by the Commander-in-Chief of NATO in Europe, American General Curtis Scaparrotti.
Recall 1 March, President Putin said that the Northern Sea Route will be "the key to the development of the Russian Arctic, the regions of the Far East." Russia, the head of state said, is faced with the task of making the Northern Sea Route a “truly global, competitive transport artery” (quoted by TASS). In numbers, this means an increase in freight traffic to the 2025 million tons per year by 80 year.
The length of the Northern Sea Route from the Kara Gate to the Providence Bay is 5,6 thousand kilometers. The route through the NSR is almost half the length of other sea routes from Europe to the Far East. Duration of navigation is only 2-4 of the month, but icebreakers can make it year-round.

Old American Disease
The tragedy in the American house of veterans in Yontville (California) caused another spike in sharp controversy between supporters and opponents of toughening weapon legislation.
Recall, X-year-old Albert Wong, armed with a rifle, a participant in a program to rehabilitate soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, shortly before the tragedy, who was excluded from participating in a program to cope with the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder, took hostage three employees of the veterans home. Later, three women, as well as the suspect in the crime, were found dead. In the context of the ongoing controversy, the National Infantry Association (NRA) was declared almost the main culprit of the incident.
However, the reason is not only in the free sale of weapons or NRA activities.
Shooting people in the USA and especially mass executions have long become one of the symptoms of the illness of American society. American leaders, one after another, make loud statements, but in fact they are trying not to seriously touch the problem of armed violence in the country. Indeed, within the framework of the existing political system, any step in this direction threatens to further exacerbate the situation.
There are so many weapons in the hands of the people that any measures can lead to disobedience and mass riots. And the victims will be much more. Therefore, the presidents, that Obama, that Trump, only depict measures to prevent mass shooting in the country.

Did not get along with the president
Rex Tillerson paid for reckless remarks about Russia. So say some American analysts. Secretary of State Tillerson found Russia guilty of the poisoning of Sergei Skripal in the UK, and President Trump did not find it. As a result, Tillerson takes over the case of Mr. Pompeo.
From insults to Moscow, it’s time for Washington to move to cooperation, says Peter Lukyanoff, an American entrepreneur, investor with more than 20 years of experience in Russian-American enterprises, a publicist, author of materials about Russia and the USSR. He believes that it is time for Americans to recognize: the time has come for “pragmatic cooperation with Russia.” The expert calls on Washington to “clear itself” of “prejudice towards Moscow” and shift the emphasis of US foreign policy - to move away from the concept of the Cold War, from the very old notions of long time and eventually “rethink business relations with Russia”.
The resignation of Mr. Tillerson, who accused Moscow of Slippery poisoning, shows that the degree of Russophobia in Washington can probably be lowered. In addition, American politicians need to learn: Russia is not the Soviet Union at all. Economically, it is much weaker and technologically costs much lower than the United States. Developed socialism in the country and does not smell - the Russians have long been accustomed to the twists of capitalism and the market. The reasons for the confrontation of the two political systems do not exist. The thinking in the spirit of the Cold War, characteristic, for example, for ancient Senator McCain and his associates, became outdated at the end of the 1980s. Politics is a dirty business, but it seems to cleanse itself when politicians find compromises and take the planet away from total nuclear war. Or when terrorism is victorious.
Hardly, of course, Mr. Trump, who takes the militarist Reagan as a model, will cause the two states to come together. It remains to hope that he will not spoil the relationship even more, and his successor will be more to the world than to militarization and the arms race.

The average depreciation of the Ukrainian GTS is more than 85% +, it is not clear that with transit after 2019 of the year, so the value of the Ukrainian GTS is still in question for investors.

It is necessary to sharply tear a damned cub from a boob, otherwise the milk will spoil. We must completely abandon the transit of gas through Ukraine, regardless of whether additional flows will be built. The EU must be completely sure that after the expiration of the agreements with Ukraine, there will be no new agreements. Otherwise, all this will continue indefinitely; attempts to shift the content of Ukraine to Russia are the cherished dream of the West. Therefore, there is now frank blackmail by the West of Russia about pipeline gas supplies, maybe it is time to announce the possibility of a sharp reduction in gas supplies due to the termination of transit through Ukraine after 2019 of the year? Let then decide for themselves whether they need additional flows or not.

NATO will not intervene for Skripal
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov promised in response to the actions of official London to send British diplomats. According to Lavrov, the Russian side “will necessarily send British diplomats” in response to the measures provided for by international law.
Recall, Britain, using provocation as a pretext for poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter, decided to expel Russian diplomats from the country, calling them “involved in Russian intelligence”. The exile touched the 23 man.
The expulsion of Russian diplomats and the announcement of their "intelligence officers" commented on the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova. She called expulsion British paranoia.
NATO decided not to defend Britain from the "attack of Russia"
May: Britain sends 23 Russian diplomat and does not invite Lavrov to London
Otvetka: Russia will send British diplomats out of the country

Otvetka: Russia will send British diplomats out of the country
The poisoning story even reached NATO. Following the statements of the British government about the "involvement" of Russia in the poisoning in Salisbury of the former GRU Skrypal officer at NATO headquarters, they discussed issues of collective security. A “consultation” took place, one of those resorted to by the NATO states in the event of a “threat to the political independence of one of the NATO states”.
If London decides to declare Violin poisoning "Russia's intervention and violation of political sovereignty," then NATO should "come to the aid of the United Kingdom" by the letter of the 5 article of the NATO Charter, and London itself should make such a request to Brussels. But it turned out that not all members of NATO are eager to "help" Britain. In addition, London itself will not sharpen the issue to such an extent: after all, there is an inevitable refusal that will hurt British pride!
As a result, in the North Atlantic Alliance, “they did not see a reason” for launching the mechanism of the 5 article. ”

Well, the British themselves have always thrown everyone. And the USA is their worthy students. I'm more interested in, is this poisoning the work of the English MI, or is it a joint operation with the CIA?
Going
Of course, joint. The United States has the formula of a substance from the 90 of the last century, when they sat tightly in Uzbekistan.

English MI and CIA is, in principle, one office. These are the two hands of the private owned financial oligarch of the US Federal Reserve.
F-35B for India? Indian scientists object!
The Indian press is actively discussing US statements on the advancement of F-35B carrier-based fighters for the Indian Navy. Previously, an indirect interest in considering cooperation with the United States on the acquisition of F-35B in exchange for the creation of production facilities for assembling F-16 in India was discussed in New Delhi.
In one of the largest Indian print media, The Hindustan Times, an article was published by Abhijit Ayer-Mitra, lead researcher at the Conflict Studies Institute, and Angad Singh, deputy director of the Indian project Adhira. The article with a fair amount of skepticism tells about whether India needs fifth-generation American deck fighters. The authors of the material point out that it is not enough just to buy several F-35B from the United States: you will have to additionally build the entire infrastructure of the Navy for the operation of these particular combat vehicles.
And really: why does India need such an expensive plane? For the sake of prestige, or what? Or happy friendship of nations? Or maybe for the sake of peace on Earth? Or for the restructuring of all the Navy? Or did the fifth column dig in the government of India, and she plans to destroy the entire state budget in order to please the Americans and the militarist Trump personally?

The problem of the Hindus is that they haphazardly buy weapons throughout the world. Given that this weapon they will never need. The same airplanes of the new generation without ground structure of target tracking in the air and highly skilled pilots are nothing more than exhibits for exhibitions.

And there is no feeling that they are collecting different technologies around the world?

“India: Why do we need F-35, if for it we have neither ammunition nor tankers? ..” So buy. Do not even hesitate. One has only to buy this toy and then only manage to unfasten.

I wonder what the operating costs of this miracle - "flying Zumwelt"? If we consider that the coating itself will crack and something has not been debugged there yet ... it is necessary not to respect yourself very much in order to buy IT.
Propagandists on the teachings
Scheduled for October 2018, large-scale exercises of NATO amphibious forces "Trident Juncture" have not so much military as propaganda value.
It was officially announced that in the fall, the NATO countries would hold large-scale exercises near the borders of Russia, in which 45 will attract thousands of servicemen. This was announced by the commander of the US Marine Corps, General Robert Neller. “This fall, in October, there will be large NATO exercises, perhaps the largest amphibian exercises that were held at the height of the Cold War and were called Trident Juncture,” said Neller. According to him, the maneuvers will be held off the coast of Norway.
Why should Russia not declare, as NATO states do, that we are talking about a planned invasion? Or at least work it out?
Unlike the Baltic countries or Poland, Moscow understands that the whole performance with the upcoming exercises is nothing more than a theater of militarism. And the marines are not the force that would be the number one force in modern warfare.
The new teachings will be just another demonstration of “Euro-Atlantic solidarity”, designed for those who are shy of the “Russian threat,” but in military affairs, they understand little.

The US does not keep up with the Russians
During 2-3 for years, Russia can gain complete control over the Northern Sea Route, it is constantly increasing its presence in the Arctic, the United States does not have time for it, reports TASS statement by the Commander-in-Chief of NATO in Europe, American General Curtis Scaparrotti.
Recall 1 March, President Putin said that the Northern Sea Route will be "the key to the development of the Russian Arctic, the regions of the Far East." Russia, the head of state said, is faced with the task of making the Northern Sea Route a “truly global, competitive transport artery” (quoted by TASS). In numbers, this means an increase in freight traffic to the 2025 million tons per year by 80 year.
The length of the Northern Sea Route from the Kara Gate to the Providence Bay is 5,6 thousand kilometers. The route through the NSR is almost half the length of other sea routes from Europe to the Far East. Duration of navigation is only 2-4 of the month, but icebreakers can make it year-round.

Properly feared. Since the times of Papanin, except for the USSR and Russia, only German submarines were present there for some time.

It is strange that they do not fear that Russia will seize control of the Moscow region. There generally Russian troops dofiga, and without a UN mandate.

Old American Disease
The tragedy in the American house of veterans in Yontville (California) caused another spike in sharp controversy between supporters and opponents of toughening weapon legislation.
Recall, X-year-old Albert Wong, armed with a rifle, a participant in a program to rehabilitate soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, shortly before the tragedy, who was excluded from participating in a program to cope with the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder, took hostage three employees of the veterans home. Later, three women, as well as the suspect in the crime, were found dead. In the context of the ongoing controversy, the National Infantry Association (NRA) was declared almost the main culprit of the incident.
However, the reason is not only in the free sale of weapons or NRA activities.
Shooting people in the USA and especially mass executions have long become one of the symptoms of the illness of American society. American leaders, one after another, make loud statements, but in fact they are trying not to seriously touch the problem of armed violence in the country. Indeed, within the framework of the existing political system, any step in this direction threatens to further exacerbate the situation.
There are so many weapons in the hands of the people that any measures can lead to disobedience and mass riots. And the victims will be much more. Therefore, the presidents, that Obama, that Trump, only depict measures to prevent mass shooting in the country.

If they didn’t have so many weapons on their hands, there wouldn’t be a problem ...

For Americans, having a personal weapon has developed historically and for them it is quite natural, like circumcision among Jews or Muslims. And violence with the use of weapons is dictated not by its presence, but by the organization of the national ideology, upbringing and individual psyche of the individual.

Not connected in any way. Associated with the sadism of Americans. In Russia, every 30-th person on the street wears a hidden legal or illegal pistol. At the hands of 5 million legal and as many illegal trunks. But such excesses, as in the United States, are practically absent. And in the USSR, they almost did not exist.
So the bureaucracy does not solve this problem.
In the United States, I think permission for staff of schools (universities) and adult students to carry weapons would reduce the intensity of the problem. Since the criminals would not even try to shoot the citizens, waiting for a bullet from either side. It is not by chance that these executions take place only where it is prohibited to bear arms. Everyone except criminals. They can.
And now the offender calmly takes an arsenal with him, eliminates one guard at the entrance and occupies an advantageous position or simply rushes around the school and shoots. What ... special forces? He will arrive in an hour only when it is all over. But the young friend of the police with a pistol could well have calmed such a person at the beginning of the show, reducing the number of victims. There is nothing to fear the arming of citizens. Normal in 1000 times more than nuts. They quickly shoot them.

Did not get along with the president
Rex Tillerson paid for reckless remarks about Russia. So say some American analysts. Secretary of State Tillerson found Russia guilty of the poisoning of Sergei Skripal in the UK, and President Trump did not find it. As a result, Tillerson takes over the case of Mr. Pompeo.
From insults to Moscow, it’s time for Washington to move to cooperation, says Peter Lukyanoff, an American entrepreneur, investor with more than 20 years of experience in Russian-American enterprises, a publicist, author of materials about Russia and the USSR. He believes that it is time for Americans to recognize: the time has come for “pragmatic cooperation with Russia.” The expert calls on Washington to “clear itself” of “prejudice towards Moscow” and shift the emphasis of US foreign policy - to move away from the concept of the Cold War, from the very old notions of long time and eventually “rethink business relations with Russia”.
The resignation of Mr. Tillerson, who accused Moscow of Slippery poisoning, shows that the degree of Russophobia in Washington can probably be lowered. In addition, American politicians need to learn: Russia is not the Soviet Union at all. Economically, it is much weaker and technologically costs much lower than the United States. Developed socialism in the country and does not smell - the Russians have long been accustomed to the twists of capitalism and the market. The reasons for the confrontation of the two political systems do not exist. The thinking in the spirit of the Cold War, characteristic, for example, for ancient Senator McCain and his associates, became outdated at the end of the 1980s. Politics is a dirty business, but it seems to cleanse itself when politicians find compromises and take the planet away from total nuclear war. Or when terrorism is victorious.
Hardly, of course, Mr. Trump, who takes the militarist Reagan as a model, will cause the two states to come together. It remains to hope that he will not spoil the relationship even more, and his successor will be more to the world than to militarization and the arms race.

It is not even interesting to delve into the statements of all kinds of experts, even about improving relations with the Russian Federation. Those who really control the American monster need only one thing: to destroy Russia as an independent state. And they will achieve this, regardless of the methods. This is an axiom.
As for the Violin poisoning, the interview is distributed by the developer of a certain substance. So who could apply? The one who developed it, and the developer is with them, and most of all he knows what the substance represents. In fact, he didn’t wash the floors in that laboratory, and you won’t get the brains out of the object from the skull. Provocation is designed for fools, but in the world this category is the most common.
