Results of the week. How to stop worrying and start raringing Russia
3 in May, the company Stratfor has published a note under the saying "What Defense Cuts Mean for Russia's Military" - "What the budget cuts mean for the Russian army." Stratfor specialists studied the available data from various sources, including the results of research from respected organizations, and determined their opinion on current events. In addition, they tried to predict the development of the situation in the foreseeable future.
The Russian budget is an extremely interesting thing. The Ministry of Finance says that in the current year a fivefold increase in super-profits is expected due to increased oil prices, and at the same time the phrase “no money” becomes a real motto for the government. It is in a fire order to kick out a dozen stadiums under ofigigard billion dollars so that FIFA will be glad - they can. But to fulfill budget commitments in the same military or social sphere is much more difficult. Or maybe send a new model government for an internship in a single country, where they have no idea what oil and gas revenues are - let the Cabinet acquire the skills and how to improve economic life without selling hydrocarbons.
Or a hole in the military budget - a strategic object? And from there at any time can fly ... a bird ...

Dodon without Guidon
Moldavian President Igor Dodon said that his republic will never become the bridgehead of the North Atlantic Alliance, and there will be no NATO bases on its territory.
Hard for Dodon. He does not have his own prince Guidon, who could bring order to the country by his called-up magic forces - with his foot under the soft seat of all parliamentary "babarikh" with Romanian passports. Well, not to the Tiraspol "prince", in fact, apply. But why can't productive Moldovan patriotism (in the full sense of the word) start exactly in Transnistria? ..
And then Prime Minister Philip said that Moldova "will not" unite with Romania and in general "for dialogue with Russia." Vooooot like ... What used to hurt?

And the task of Dodon today is to conduct an election campaign to the Parliament and win the elections. And this is the real power.
Dodon is the only pro-Russian president in Europe and Asia.
He is the only one among the presidents of the countries of Europe and Asia who will lead the column of the Immortal Regiment with the St. George ribbon and a portrait of his grandfathers. It costs a lot!

Loss of Su-30CM and Ka-52. Not all the names of the dead are named.
The information about the crash of the Ka-52 Russian helicopter in Syria has been confirmed. The helicopter crashed the day before in the eastern part of the Syrian Arab Republic. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The names of the dead in Syria pilots. What did happen with Ka-52 and Su-30CM?
Two losses aviation funds in Syria in a few days. And it would be fine only aircraft ... - iron ... - so also the crews. So what was the reason there - a bird in the engine, a malfunction in the control system or something else, it is important - so that an understanding comes of this: everyone is important to Russia! And the death of a person, a true professional in his field, is a great tragedy, from which it is time to draw real lessons, and not to reduce everything to another statement that this is, they say, war, and there is no way without losses. Wars are also different - and with an open visor now it is not at all a reason.

Russian President Vladimir Putin sent congratulations on the 73 anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War to the leaders and peoples of the countries that were previously part of the Soviet Union as republics. Congratulations were not sent to the heads of the Baltic republics, as well as Ukraine and Georgia. Instead, the Russian president congratulated the Ukrainian and Georgian peoples, as he had done in previous years.
But Poroshenko, they say, was still on duty at the red phone all the day, “turntables” in the hope that Vladimir Vladimirovich would call. He even took out a certificate about the spouse's grandfather, prepared a half-liter, a faceted glass — all of a sudden one year before Rostov would have to wear his “flippers” ... But it was not lucky — the “aggressor” did not call. And pollitrovki was not enough. From the office quietly sounded "... with tears in his eyes ..." and loud "Vopli Vidoplyasova" - so that no one would guess ...

Friendship of Peoples? What is it? ..
The recent crises clearly showed only one thing: we really begin to be interested in what is happening with our neighbors only after they overthrow the pro-Russian government. This was the case even with Ukraine, one of the largest and, for many reasons, our most important neighbor.
Is there geopolitical friendship between states in the modern world? Is there any friendship at all in the conditions of the market that has swept everything and everyone? Tabachok - apart, all apart. It took a partner - put it off, otslyuniv, unfasten it ... I didn’t sleep it, I didn’t sleep it out, I didn’t unfasten it - the search for the one who does this will begin. Well, or not, so at least as an underscore demarche. All partners to each other ... Everyone strives to throw each other - stronger, more painful. Here it is, the friendship of the peoples of the sample "progressive" of the XXI century.

The Russian state has no ideology, a rod and so that it is not forgotten, this fact is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the golden calf rules everything, and if he is full, that he should twitch to every foreign ministry and other budget eaters ...
It is simpler for our former brothers, they all sat down on the fad of nationalism, and many on Russophobia. They, unlike us, have at least something. In the current situation of affairs in the state, in the government, the situation in Russia is unenviable - if that, then the color of the nation, financial support and the best minds of society surrender the state for a bowl of soup and a warm place. Moreover, we have already passed it.

Why am I doing this? And besides, either equality with the neighbors is necessary (which is prevented by the desire to be a superpower) or push harder (and we cannot do this, for now we only want to be big and strong, and there are a lot of neighbors).
Is it built, but is it obsolete?
Good news for patriots and reason to think for smart people. The state tests of a large landing ship "Ivan Gren" have recently completed.
The time spent on the construction of warships today is such that, while the ship is being built, it already has time to become obsolete in a number of parameters. And there are a lot of reasons for this - and far from always we are talking about insufficient financing. Sometimes with financing everything is just fine. But with production capacity, resources, engineering and technically trained personnel, and even with working hands - well, not everything. Effective managers with yuStami dime a dozen, and go find an intelligent fitter from the new generation, not to mention the young and talented engineer ... But on the results of the USE every year - growth! ..

"Oligarch-1M" against "Dagger"
The leadership of the US Armed Forces is concerned about the entry of Russian MiG-31 with Dagger missiles on combat duty, US media reported. Earlier official statements about the new Russian weapons in the USA they sounded completely different.
To overcome the missile defense. 10 MiG-31 with “Daggers” are on alert
Concerned about it, it may be worried. Yes, they just know perfectly well that their egg, in which that very Koschee needle is located, is protected reliably. So what, they say, if the Russians got a “hypersound” - yes, we are saying, we’ll take a couple of oligarchs right now - this hypersound will slow down and slow down ... A sort of modern American non-lethal weapons complex “Oligarch-1М” , alas, while fatally effective ... Although, what are we talking about? Oligarchs are long gone. Only honest businessmen remained. Hurray, comrades! .. Complex "Oligarch-1M" of Russia is not terrible! ..

Based on your logic, why would the United States not sink a couple of our ships? And, apparently, we immediately respect them and quiet down? I think not.

T-14 "Armata". "How much to hang in grams?"
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation adjusted the number of purchases at this stage tanks “Armata”, “Interfax” reports with reference to an informed source, the previously announced figure of 100 ordered T-14 does not correspond to reality.
Fifty instead of a hundred. Ministry of Defense changes the number of purchased "Armat"?
Fifty instead of a hundred. Is this about the “strategic hole in the budget”? Or they decided that less is better. I would like to believe that in the next news bulletin it did not turn out this way: the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation thought and decided that five T-14 are better than 50. Although here we must not forget that the declared value in the 100 "Armat" initially concerned the entire line of this armored vehicle, and not just the T-14 tanks. And is it important!

After all, the Armata platform is not only a tank, but also infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery systems, an air defense system and much more. Only need to increase production. And with such volumes and maintenance of the repair will be cheaper, because all nodes will be unified.

Uralvagonzavod currently has not enough production capacity for the serial production of the Armata tank and the Coalition self-propelled howitzer.
Uralvagonzavod will modernize its production facilities, this will take 2-3 of the year.
May decree. Not from the word "toil"?
Signed by the president of 7 in May of this year, some people already hurried to christen the epoch-making. There is allegedly inherent "superconcrete", accuracy and detail of the study. And also, what is even more surprising, some “experts” notice with slight gloating that now the government will have so much work that it will certainly turn into a purely technical body and will cease to be engaged in politics.
It is unreliable and dangerous. Putin agrees to "untie" the economy from the dollar
National goals and strategic objectives. What does the president expect from the government?
Strategic objectives set. Strategic prime appointed. In addition, the strategic head of the Accounting Chamber, by the name of Kudrin, also appeared. Mrs. Golikova is again shuffled in the deck of those who are not changed at the crossing, and therefore she is again in the government. The main intrigue of the “new government” remains - Vitaly Leontyevich “from May Hart” Mutko ... Without him, you know, no strategic task of Russia will be solved. They say they are already looking for 8 trillions to make life better, life has become more fun.

Israel struck another missile attack on the territory of Syria. The strike was on the southern suburbs of Damascus. It is known that the victims of rocket attack were two people - civilians (a married couple). At least, such data are given by the Syrian state news agency SANA.
The 28 of the Israeli F-15 and F-16 airplanes that fired 60 missiles and even more 10 tactical missiles were launched from the ground; over half of them managed to shoot down, according to the Ministry of Defense of Russia.
Half of the rockets were shot down. The Russian defense Ministry called the result of the work of the defense of Syria in the Israeli strike
[url = https: //topwar.ru/141298-udar-po-golanam-pokazhetsya-izrailyu-shalostyu-dolzhnoe-vozmezdie-uzhe-u-vorot.html] The strike on the Golan will seem like a prank to Israel. Due retribution is already at the gate
The Iron Dome could not intercept all missiles fired at Golan Heights.
On the night of May 10, we add, the Israeli military reported that Iranian forces launched about two dozen missiles from Syria on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights. In response, the Israeli Air Force launched missile strikes against targets in Syrian territory.
According to the newspaper Ha'aretz, as a result of Israeli attacks, there are casualties among the Syrians and Iranians. The strikes were carried out on rocket launchers that were involved in launches on Israeli positions, ammunition depots.

Will you clean the dirty boiler?
The US Navy aircraft carrier strike group consisting of 1 cruisers and 6 Aegis missile control destroyers led by the nuclear aircraft carrier CVN-75 USS "Harry Truman" arrived in the eastern Mediterranean Sea under the pretext of comprehensive support for Operation Operational Resolve military operation ("Unshakable determination").
This information, we note, confirms the final phase of stripping of the largest "left-bank boiler" IG (banned in Russia) announced at the beginning of May by the State Department. The indicated boiler extends 175 km - from the southern village of Mughaylat to the settlement of Mahfar Jarbiyah (along the Iraqi-Syrian border).

Mr. Trump freed the United States from the Iranian yoke. It sounds a bit strange, but apparently, this is the way to interpret President Trump’s statement, saying that America will not be “hostage to nuclear blackmail”. Announcing the US withdrawal from a deal on the Iranian nuclear program and the upcoming resumption of anti-Iran sanctions, Trump stumbled upon allied resistance.
Britain, Germany and France called on the parties to the nuclear agreement to continue to implement it.
I had to speak to US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, one of the main figures in the sanctions policy. He said with some embarrassment that Great Britain, France and Germany, they say, support the US goals of the United States on a deal with Iran, but the US has "somewhat different views on how to achieve this." According to him, President Trump has clearly expressed his attitude towards the nuclear deal, and now there is “hard work” with American allies.
What kind of “hard work” is this, Mr. Mnuchin did not specify. It is clear that the allies this time with the United States do not agree in principle.
What threatens Iran with sanctions?
It is intended to prohibit the Iranian government from acquiring US dollars, to limit major deals for buying and selling rial, to limit Iran’s international trade in gold and precious metals, to ban supplies to Iran of graphite, aluminum, steel and software for the industry.
The sanctions will affect the automotive industry of Iran, the importation of Iranian carpets into the United States, agricultural products, activities related to the export and re-export of passenger planes to Iran. Other sanctions will hit Iranian ports, shipping and shipbuilding.
And, of course, the ban on trade in oil and oil products will return.
In essence, it is a blockade.

- they will start to frighten the fictitious threat of bad Persians and to press on all the countries neighboring Iran, which breathe unevenly to it, so that they are even more armed in the light of "bad Iran." Consequently, American companies will again earn money on arms supplies to these countries;
- Oil trading speculators will start raising prices for future deals, and it is possible that the same American companies will try to occupy those markets where Iran was trading;
- the country's gold and currency assets, which are stored in the United States, especially from the Middle East, “refrain” from the desire to return them back to their homeland in the light of horror stories about a potential war with Iran;
- the opposition and the youth of Iran will again raise their voices, dissatisfied with the economic situation in the country, and, perhaps, will have another coup, modestly called the "color revolution" in the West, overthrowing the disagreeable US power in Iran.
And these are just some of the gingerbreads that the United States can get from breaking the treaty. And there are no minuses in relation to them while on the horizon. They trust in force, and force so far helps them in pursuing their own selfish interests.

The Frenchman took the American reeducation
Donald Trump must apologize for his inaccurate statements about the 13 November 2015 attacks in Paris, the French Economy Minister Bruno Le Mer reports to Tass.
Earlier, the US president, speaking to participants in the annual conference of the National Rifle Association, said that France’s strict arms control “deprived ordinary people of self-defense in the face of an increased terrorist threat.” Citing the Paris 2015 attacks of the year as an example, Trump suggested that “if the workers or clients had weapons ... then the terrorists would have fled or were shot, and that would have been a completely different story.”
“I find these statements outrageous and I think that they are unworthy of the president of the first power in the world, a state that is an ally and friend of France. I want the president of the United States to take his words back and express his regret, "said the French minister and stressed that France should" work with Donald Trump, with the president of the United States. " “To work is to be able to express to the President of the United States with all the directness of what we think,” explained Le Mayor.
It is clear that Mr. Trump should be taken for re-education. Mother Europe should teach the up-and-coming billionaire good manners, routing and etiquette of aristocrats. The French governess will dissuade Monsieur Trampier from the behavior of a cheeky gopnik, grinding into dust not only the norms of behavior adopted in a civilized society, but also the soup that is trying to eat with a fork.

Kim Jong Unu showed a bright capitalist future
Mr. Trump is full of optimism about the upcoming talks with the North Korean leader. “I think it will be a very big success. So far have not gone, never had such a relationship, “- cites CNN Trump's words. He noted that Kim Jong-un wants to return his country to the "real world".
According to the latest foreign media reports, a meeting between the US President and the North Korean leader is scheduled for June 12. It can be held on the territory of Singapore, in the suburban hotel "Shangri-La."
The choice of venue should say something to Kim Jong-un who lives in an isolated country. It is in this hotel that every year major military leaders from different states meet at the International Conference on Security Issues in the Asia-Pacific Region. This is a decent level for the North Korean leader, and at the same time enhanced security measures.
Recall that earlier, in April, Comrade Kim объявил about stopping nuclear and missile tests in the DPRK. These statements were made just before the meeting with Donald Trump.

How to stop worrying and start raringing Russia
US Special Representative for Donbass Kurt Volker openly stated that the main goal of the United States is the collapse of the Russian Federation (according to the scenario of the collapse of the Soviet Union). Volker made obvious comparisons, stating that the Crimea will not be part of Russia over time, as “they no longer belonged to the USSR in the Baltic republics”.
Russia is pro-Western: the reality of tomorrow
As if wishing to support Mr. Walker, European experts have scribbled articles about the pro-Western future of Russia. The near future.
Just like the dying USSR, today's Russia is trying to find a way out of the socio-economic impasse, experts from the EU countries say. Putin in the West, these experts compare it with Khrushchev, then with Brezhnev, and wait for the “decrepit regime” to collapse. After that, Russia will instantly become a pro-Western country! It is only a matter of time. Analysts add: after February 1917 of the year and after August of 1991, the “third pro-Western turn” will finally take place in Russia.

For the first time, tsarist Russia completely stagnated industrially, as well as on the issue of ideology and political structure. In the beginning of the industrial era, the old models of the structure of power, morality, ideology and industrial development no longer respond to the demands of the time. Instead of recognizing this and starting intensive reforms in accordance with the era, the authorities simply conserved these problems and did not notice them. As a result, the point of no return was passed, and everything ended with a big explosion of the revolution.
The second time a very similar phenomenon occurred with the Soviet authorities. Having cheerfully started and continued, as a result, the power in the USSR degraded by the 80 years. The modern model of updating ideology and the turnover of managers was not developed. The same is the failure on the ideological front, the failure of morality, plus some problems in the economy (though not as deep as in Ingushetia).
Today we go the same way. Instead of working out at last a mechanism for changing the government with a normal system of counterbalances, the head of the country reelects himself and the prime minister once again. The society has long formed requests of a different plan than were in the 00-s. Yes, Putin at that time after Yeltsin was a blessing, brought some order, drove out the oligarchs, stopped the mess in Chechnya, etc. But it was then. Thanks to him for what was then. But now some other time. And the people are the same. If nothing changes according to the free will of the authorities, sooner or later a new “boom” will occur. These are laws of physics, you can't argue with them.

Bah! All familiar faces!
Vladimir Putin proposed Dmitry Medvedev as the head of government. Many Russians took this news with a fair amount of negativity. But even more questions from citizens appeared to the appointees of Medvedev himself. We are talking about candidates for vice-premier posts.
Judging by Medvedev’s statements, most of the vice-premiers will remain in the government - they will simply change seats. When Medvedev, at a meeting with his party colleagues, pronounced the name of Mutko as a candidate for the post of deputy chairman of the government in charge of the construction industry in Russia, then a laugh passed through the hall to the audience through the broadcast of the central TV channels ...
The signing by V. Putin of the decree appointing Medvedev as prime minister and the continuation by Moscow of the course of "stability" was the reason for the irony of foreign experts and journalists from the West and the East, from the USA to India. The castling in the Russian government is painfully amusing! Putin is strong in politics abroad, foreign analysts admit, but inside Russia he is a reflection of the oligarchic economy model, his strickenness inhibiting growth in the country.
Who would dare not support the candidacy of Medvedev...
The reaction of the Russians to the candidacy of the prime minister and his deputies
The future of Russia - Medvedev is
What is capable of this old new team, which Putin gives the next May decrees? And how can “decrees” carry out modernization? Did Hewlett and Packard in the USA wait for someone’s decrees and the opening of some Skolkovo? Finally, how will those who have a favorite word, “stability”, that is, stagnation, upgrade?
It is unlikely that Medvedev and Putin will be enough for six years for the stated course of modernization and improvement of the situation in the country, in which poverty is growing rapidly (against the background of growing conditions of the oligarchs). The solution is obvious: the modernization process will need to be continued. As Putin’s supporters like to repeat, they don’t change horses at the crossing!
And after six years, foreign experts will laugh again, for the Russians will elect Medvedev as president.
