In the US, they know why you can not capture Russia
The authors of the rating are sure that it is impossible to conquer Russia not only because of “General Frost”, but also because the Russians, when they retreat, destroy the entire infrastructure and all the cities so that they do not get to the enemy.
The report says that it will not be possible to capture Russia, as the Russians themselves will rather “kill” their country than they will allow it to be conquered. With all the resonance of this statement, it is difficult to disagree with him in a certain way. As our shows story, fermentation and dismantling (sometimes called “restructuring”) of the foundation itself was often started precisely inside Russia, and only then external forces could come under this “shop”.

Are you grinning?
Just a couple of days ago, in the political section of the electronic version of the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets, one could read a brief analytical note by journalist Mikhail Katkov entitled “The expert explained why Ukraine took the Mechanics Pogodin hostage.
How far that grin is bearish, and how much it is a grin, and not a self-repulsive half-smile, is an open question. Skalim-skalimsya, and Russian citizens from the "Nord" and "Mechanics of Pogodin" are still held hostage in Ukraine, and no real trump card in response has yet been laid out on the "cloth" of the Azov-Black Sea basin. Oh yeah, it’s not necessary to answer, otherwise they suddenly think that this is aggression ...

Peacekeepers in a Vise
A burning issue today is the security of the Operational Group of Russian Forces in the Transnistrian region (RGRPP), represented by the 82 and 113-m individual guards motorized rifle battalions, as well as the 540-m control battalion assigned to military units No.13962, No.XNNX and No. 22137 respectively.
The state of affairs with the Russian OGRT on the banks of the Dniester is in fact difficult. After all, in fact, it is the cut off part of the Russian armed forces, which at any time may be subjected to provocation by the "friends". And in the current situation, it will be extremely difficult to come to the aid of the Russian peacekeepers, since on the one hand there is “friendly” Chisinau, on the other - even more “friendly” Kiev.

Twice KUU - beautiful, smart, Ukrainian
In Ukraine, they again intimidated by hints about an insidious neighbor - Russia. This time, the Azov-Black Sea region was in the epicenter of attention of the Ukrainian authorities, according to Kiev, allegedly blocked by Moscow. As prosecutors, a whole line of both current politicians and retired generals, who once held high posts in the General Staff of Ukraine, lined up.
Why are Ukraine afraid now? Vaughn Pan Turchinov recently demonstrated such a smart and beautiful rocket to everyone that he unlocks any region at the click of his fingers. Well, he himself said so directly: now, they say, all of you will dance your “Apple” here. Ka-a-ak will fly smart and beautiful, it will not seem so little. Already get nets for catching?

The international army games (“Army-2018”) are held for the fourth time. Competitions every year expand the number of participants, and competitions and disciplines are also added. Although, I must say, this year, for some unknown and not officially announced reason, the international stage of the Sky Keys anti-aircraft missile defense forces did not take place, although there was an army stage.
And it’s necessary - even WADA has no questions for the participants. Well, even to those who manage to drop the tank during a sneaky turn. And the spectators sometimes arise - from the series: “What are they smoking in the tower there?” Yes, they do not smoke, because smoking kills, and tank biathlon - continuous improvement, prevention, so to speak ...

We wanted the best
The reason for new disputes around promising samples appeared in early July. Vice Prime Minister Yury Borisov, in charge of the military-industrial complex, told the press about current work in the framework of promising projects. Among other things, he touched on the theme of the fifth-generation fighter Su-57. As it turned out, the leadership of the defense industry has very specific views.
The trend is really strange. The newest weapon is being developed, but plans for its mass production vary from year to year. And now it turns out that the same new-generation tanks, instead of the initially declared hundreds of troops, are “enough” and a couple of dozen. How this fits with the military and economic feasibility of a very expensive development is the question. Or again, Chernomyrdin's thesis about what they wanted as best, but it turned out as always, relevant?

Ukrainian "volunteers" publish on their pages on social networks information that the sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the Ukrainian security services "have been operating" in uncontrolled territories. In particular, it is reported that one of the DRG made a "raid on the territories of the militants." The militants in Kiev continue to call the servicemen of the army of the DPR and the people's militia of the LPR.
New tactics of the Ukrainian troops became possible thanks to the presence of volunteers, psevdolonёterov and social networks. In these very social networks, the Ukrainian troops took Donetsk for a long time, won the endts of square kilometers and dats meters of territory of the “enemy”. In other accounts, the Ukrainian army is approaching Moscow at all and is about to enter firing positions. So they live. Meanwhile, people continue to die in the Donbas. And how much more it will continue, no expert will say.

Lethal plywood
The President of Ukraine announced on August 24 an unprecedented in size and power military parade in honor of this very independence. Apparently, I really want to catch up and overtake Moscow in this regard, because the parade in Kiev will be about 250 units of military equipment.
In Washington, they decided to postpone the military parade to "later", but in Ukraine, it is said, everything is ready. But just about everything that will be shown in Kiev, some experts call plywood. And from this "plywood" and "toy", as already noted in the subject, for some reason people are really dying. The cities are really crumbling and the planes are falling. What, however, is the lethal plywood of the APU ...

Enemies on the planet increased
10 in August in The New York Times published an article by the Turkish leader, "What Turkey sees the causes of the crisis in relations with the United States." In this material, Mr. Erdogan accused Washington not only of bad faith and failure to fulfill its allied obligations, but also of direct hostility.
Erdogan’s speech, in fact, ranks on a par with a series of statements by EU leaders who previously criticized the White House’s anti-Iranian policy and then planned a response to the US tariff policy, which hit the interests of EU industry. A much tougher answer to Mr. Trump’s tariffs was given by the Chinese.
The problems of the United States with Turkey clearly show that America cannot have not only friends, but also equal partners. Anyone who seeks to take into account not only American interests, but also his own interests, immediately becomes an enemy, which, apparently, Mr. Erdoогan hinted at, who does not forget about the interests of Turkey.

In the footsteps of idol Reagan
In the Russian media, the new US military budget was quick to christen "anti-Russian." However, this is only partly true: it is “anti-Russian” as far as the American foreign policy itself is anti-Russian. The total US defense budget for the 2019 fiscal year will be 716 billion dollars.
716 of billions of dollars is a huge amount, especially if we recall the attempts of the “peacemaker” Obama to reduce the military budget (Obama’s plan, we recall, was designed for ten years ahead).
It is obvious that the anti-Russian hysteria has become a convenient excuse for a new arms race launched by hawk Trump. The policy of the new cold war is also being promoted. Undoubtedly, in nominal terms, Donald Trump had already surpassed his idol Ronald Reagan, who had fought unemployment in the United States with the help of the “Soviet threat” and the rapid inflation of the military-industrial complex. Such a policy had a downside: it created a budget deficit and was expressed in the rapid growth of public debt. But Reagan and his capitalists henchmen were little concerned about the problems of future generations. According to some reports, 157 spent billions of dollars from defense budgets (over eight years of government) only for the arms race "against the USSR" under Reagan. According to others, in the first five years of the presidency, Reagan has poured into the defense budget of the state 1,6 trillion. dollars. The curve on the graphs of growth of military spending sharply flew up.
The opposite effect happened. In 1986, the US budget deficit also abruptly “flew up”: from 60 billion dollars in 1980, it increased to 220 billion dollars. Public debt more than doubled over the same period: from 749 to 1746 billion dollars.
The endless raising of the US national debt ceiling under Obama, which the Russian media made fun of, is a legacy of the “defense” policy of Reagan and Bush Jr., who started two protracted wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obviously, Mr. Trump is following in the footsteps of his idol, Mr. Reagan. This is also obvious because Trump is a capitalist to the marrow of his bones and does not live according to the plan of state construction for centuries, as the Chinese do, but lives according to a business plan. Inflating the military-industrial complex is unpromising for the future (further rapid growth of the national debt and budget deficit, the high cost of servicing military equipment and maintaining the army, acute problems in international politics, the risk of world war, etc.), but the capitalist does not think about the future.

How the Russian economy will perish
New sanctions named Skripale, poisoned by someone in Salisbury (England), the US State Department went as it were in his last and decisive sanctions battle against Russia with the dollar at the ready. The beginning of the offensive is 22 in August, the main sanctions strike is planned to be delivered in three months, in November, when the mid-term Congress elections will be held in the USA
The sluggishness associated with the imposition of scheduled sanctions is uncharacteristic for the United States. Apparently, the consequences of the new package of anti-Russian sanctions are to some extent disturbing even the American hawks who have promoted it. The Washington Post writes that the economy of Russia will completely collapse from the dollar "weaning", and also because American companies will not be allowed to do business in Russia, and Aeroflot will not be allowed to fly to the United States. True, experts forget that, for example, the Iranian economy has suffered greatly from perennial sanctions, but it has not collapsed. In addition, the “sanctions” sluggishness means that the interests of American business are not alien to the White House, where the billionaire businessman sits on the throne, nor to the congressmen, who are paid by American businesses for election campaigns. Probably, the death of the Russian economy (the one that President B.H. Obama “tore into tatters”) is once again postponed.

Americans are preparing for a battle in the North Atlantic
Surprisingly, in the United States they started talking about a possible military confrontation in the North Atlantic. And this despite Russia's confidence that the Russian fleet is weak, it’s not very suitable for anyone outside the coastal zone of responsibility aviation unlikely to be able to oppose something to the American naval power ...
The head of the US Navy command, John Richardson, in an interview with Voice of America radio station, noted that the Russian Navy has been very active in the North Atlantic over the past twenty-five years. And especially he singled out the last five-year plan. According to the admiral, the US fleet should return to a "more competitive way of thinking." And this is a soft statement: Richardson’s colleague, Charles Richard, head of the underwater fleet USA, put it much harder: "Get ready for battle!"
To say that the Russian Navy will be able to defy NATO forces in the North Atlantic (in the coming years) would be too bold, analyst V. Kuzovkov said. With the current alignment of forces in the region, the campaign “behind the corner” of a large surface unit of the Russian Federation “in a real military stop can only end with the defeat of the new Tsushima,” he writes.
Probably, some hopes could be pinned on strategic partners, that is, Chinese comrades who are increasing their naval power at an accelerated pace, but, firstly, China does not have the necessary coastal infrastructure in the region, and secondly, in the case of “hot” warships will be needed by Beijing in the usual area of responsibility.

In the press Italian ... sorry, in the Italian press told about the Americans' fear of Russian weapons.
The operational and tactical Iskander missile systems deployed in the Kaliningrad region, designed to control most of Eastern Europe, including objects of the Euro-Atlantic missile defense system, became the reason for the analysts of one Italian edition. Il Giornale published an article entitled “Ecco perchè la Nato teme il sistema missilistico russo Iskander” (“That’s why NATO is afraid of the Russian Iskander missile system). The author of the article, Franco Yakk, noted that a new version of this complex was created to combat the superiority of NATO fleets.
According to the United States, not so long ago, two batteries of the Iskander complexes received a promising cruise missile 9М729 Novator (according to the NATO classification - SSC-8). Unlike its predecessors, this product is capable of showing a range of at least 5500 km. In this regard, analyst F. Yakk wrote about a possible violation of the existing treaty on medium and short-range missiles. At the same time, the analyst noted the fighting qualities of the newest Russian rocket. For example, when launched from the Moscow region, the 9М729 product will be able to hit any target in Western Europe. The launch of such missiles from the territory of Siberia allows you to control the entire west coast of the United States ... So much for the "fear of the US."

Carefully, left Sarah!
Not only Italians tell about American fear.
A well-known member of the German parliament from the Leftist faction, Sarah Wagenknecht, spoke about another big American fear. According to Sarah, in Washington, they are afraid of a rapprochement between Russia and Germany. According to the leader of the Die Linke faction, the American political and economic elites are concerned about the buildup of Russian-German economic cooperation, mainly in the fuel and energy complex: “The United States has always been afraid of combining Russian resources and German technology. And rightly so ... "
Sarah is not the only one who warns the United States and criticizes Trump’s sanctions policy.
Opposition politicians in Germany earlier reminded Washington that four years ago, suggesting the EU to support anti-Russian sanctions, the Americans promised to publish satellite images of the attack on the Malaysian Boeing-777. Obedient Germany imposed sanctions. But it turned out that no pictures were submitted. And now they are not. Meanwhile, over the four sanction years, the German economy has lost more than 10 billion euros and over a hundred thousand jobs!
So will Germany really continue to be just as obedient and will live in spite of its well-being?
As for Russia, it would have lived well and without any fear of “international sanctions” only if it had not only its own resources, but also its own technologies. The first ones are exhaustible, the second ones are not.

Let the crazy idea - do not solve the heat of the moment!
US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control Issues Ilim Poblet said at the UN Disarmament Conference that the United States was "concerned about Moscow’s space plans." Poblet reported that Washington was concerned about the creation by Russia of new space weapons, including the Peresvet combat laser complex and the “observer” satellite, which was launched last fall into orbit. However, she said that the Russian "spy satellite" "behaves abnormally," but refused to clarify her words, adding that "this is another proof that Moscow’s words are at odds with her actions."
In response, Deputy Dean of Russia to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva, Alexander Deineko, called the words Poblet "unfounded, slanderous accusations based on suspicions and assumptions."
It must be assumed that in Washington a new method of bringing cosmic evidence was invented. It consists of four consecutive theses: 1) a statement about some controversial object in orbit; 2) the refusal of the declarant of the description of the actions of the object; 3) statement about the abnormality of the object, and not declaring; 4) is a short speech about the hostile policy of Moscow, creating abnormal objects that threaten the planet, the Solar System and the Galaxy.
Obviously, Mrs. Poblet does not want to use obsolete stencils Jen Psaki, dumped the burden of evidence on the "office". It's a pity! We already imagine how Ilim Poblet after Matt Lee's leading question suddenly answers:
“I have to ask Darth Vader!”

Putin in the service of Norway
The regional authorities in northern Norway are not going to send an invitation to President Putin on the occasion of the 75 anniversary of the liberation of East Finnmark (Norwegian north) from the Nazi occupation. It is noteworthy that this event in Norway will be celebrated only next fall, but local authorities have already stated that the invitation to Moscow will be sent “only if Putin fulfills an important condition.”
The “condition” was voiced by a Norwegian government official, Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen. According to Bakke-Jensen, "Putin must deserve an invitation." “Let the Russian president first prove that he respects international law,” said a senior official.
However, the opinion of the minister was not shared by other representatives of the Norwegian authorities, noting that we are talking about the liberation of the north of the country by the Soviet Army. Russia is the successor of the USSR, and therefore the invitation to Moscow should be sent.
In a word, there was a political split in the government of Norway. Apparently, officials will prefer to retire compromise. For example, the invitation will be sent, but not to Putin. Invite M. S. Gorbachev. Still, the first (and last) President of the USSR ...

One can never forget about Ukraine, since for the most part they are all the same Soviet people deceived by Belovezhje. And Ukraine itself is a fragment of the former great power. But to force this fragment to the world is somehow necessary. Everyone will benefit from the world, and only Bandera, and the West supporting them, from confrontation.

You might think, if a mess happened, everything will be limited to Dnieper ... will fly in the literal sense ... and Chisinau ... and Bucharest ... and Kiev, everything will end like Georgia. Russia will have only one goal ... to go straight to Transnistria ... and only this way, taking the entire Black Sea coast. The most interesting thing is that the Americans and NATO incite Bucharest ... but do not intervene, who wants to get corpses for some Moldovans and Ukrainians ... in Europe, and so strained in all directions, and here also the war. NATO will split, to pay someone else's foolish lives of their citizens no one will. Demonstrative campaigning pokatushki on the European autobahn is one thing ... to go into battle, they need it. Unleash the Third World because of the vassals no one will ... they will be extreme. Ukraine will get involved, so its first will be torn apart into shreds ... everyone realizes their nationally linguistic and territorial claims ... and Moldova will simply cease to exist, as a state occupied by Romania on the sly.

Even with all the availability of this heap of equipment from the Romanians, it seems that our General Staff is also awake and is working on its plans in accordance with intelligence. And certainly we do not all know what and how it will be there. How surprised everyone was with our offensive at 2008? Waited longer than the order. And they were surprised to actually miss the redeployment of the group to Syria. So, when supplying Himarsov, an antibiotic against them will be “suddenly” transferred to the same area. And so on the entire list.
NATO does not need a big deal, they are aware of how it can all end. But to annoy Russia, to drag it into a protracted conflict, forcing to spend big money and bear losses - this is their goal. In Syria, not much happened, the turn of the next card.

Moldovans will not climb: there is neither strength nor desire (the conflict ended 25 years ago, passions subsided, there is no hatred among the residents of both banks of the Dniester). Ukraine without Moldova alone will not climb either, since it will be an aggression against Moldova itself (after all, Transnistria de jure is the territory of Moldova). Romanians Transnistria and figs do not need, they would Moldova digest. The conflict can only come from outside (self-collapse of Ukraine, or the global crisis "NATO-Russia"), it will not be soon, I’ll manage to dig up the bunker :)

Even the Formula-1, which is referenced with the "sameness" of the cars (general limitations on TTH), all depends on the Person.

That is - there is where there is a difference, you want, take the tank "what they give", you want - take your "fancy", you want - pay for a copy of the Russian.
But this year - the Chinese in the finals broke all the squint records, for which they paid.
At the same time, Russia has made this TB the most important thing, it’s “the real selection of the best crews began in the troops, and therefore training (well, I believe in it), which means that the overall training of tank crews in the Russian Army has grown.

Any competition, first of all, creates a competitive spirit - a situation arises that someone is better. This is important for creating an atmosphere and incentives to improve professional skills. Moreover, practically all divisions participate in the qualifying competitions - the winners come from the very bottom, from regiments, divisions, etc. Spectators, entertainment, etc. are side effects. As for the "ditched technology", then it is enough in the usual military life, I see nothing wrong with that, and is there so much of it, as the authors write about it. There are side effects in big-time sports too - serious injuries and other troubles. Roses without thorns are not.

Three years later, the Defense Ministry realized that the Armata and other new types of weapons could not afford.
However, Yu. Borisov did not call for the complete rejection of the fifth generation car. It should be a kind of "trump card" that can be "played" in appropriate circumstances. When the fighters of previous generations begin to lag behind their foreign counterparts, the time comes for the Su-57.
I wonder how this "trump card" can be used if God bless them all 12 units versus hundreds (if not thousands) of fifth-generation planes of the enemy. They are this F-35 is already making a mess like cakes.
Obviously, the sanctions of the Anglo-Saxons reach their goals.

And how much more it will continue, no expert will say.

The President of Ukraine announced on August 24 an unprecedented in size and power military parade in honor of this very independence. Apparently, I really want to catch up and overtake Moscow in this regard, because the parade in Kiev will be about 250 units of military equipment.

In Washington, they decided to postpone the military parade to "later", but in Ukraine, it is said, everything is ready. But just about everything that will be shown in Kiev, some experts call plywood. And from this "plywood" and "toy", as already noted in the subject, for some reason people are really dying. The cities are really crumbling and the planes are falling. What, however, is the lethal plywood of the APU ...

Parades, awards, everything as it became leveled, to acquire the operetta picture. You can laugh over the outskirts, but this is just a reflection of our country in a different dimension, but the essence is the same, to “wash” the eyes of your population. Whether someone likes it or not, but without "rose-colored glasses," everything is as it is.

No no no. You can not do it this way. It is necessary to represent the Ukrainians as dim-eyed pottery and embroidery raguli who are digging the Black Sea with Nazi armbands on the sleeves, guarded by Javelins and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The only way.
Enemies on the planet increased
10 in August in The New York Times published an article by the Turkish leader, "What Turkey sees the causes of the crisis in relations with the United States." In this material, Mr. Erdogan accused Washington not only of bad faith and failure to fulfill its allied obligations, but also of direct hostility.
Trump stepped on Erdogan on the Kurdish corn

Erdogan’s speech, in fact, ranks on a par with a series of statements by EU leaders who previously criticized the White House’s anti-Iranian policy and then planned a response to the US tariff policy, which hit the interests of EU industry. A much tougher answer to Mr. Trump’s tariffs was given by the Chinese.
The problems of the United States with Turkey clearly show that America cannot have not only friends, but also equal partners. Anyone who seeks to take into account not only American interests, but also his own interests, immediately becomes an enemy, which, apparently, Mr. Erdoогan hinted at, who does not forget about the interests of Turkey.

But indeed, the United States in relation to its allies behave like an arrogant gentleman with a servant who is obliged to follow orders unquestioningly and faithfully look into his eyes even when he is beaten in the face.
“Turkey has set a deadline for itself,” after which, if the United States does not listen to Ankara, it “will take care of its own interests”.
Does (light blackmail) hint at a possible withdrawal from NATO? But in this case, the Americans can be calm, knowing perfectly well that today this simply cannot happen, since it is impossible by definition.

In the footsteps of idol Reagan
In the Russian media, the new US military budget was quick to christen "anti-Russian." However, this is only partly true: it is “anti-Russian” as far as the American foreign policy itself is anti-Russian. The total US defense budget for the 2019 fiscal year will be 716 billion dollars.
Fools with missiles
New Pentagon budget. War against all
Russian nuclear arsenal. Barks, but does not bite?
New Pentagon budget. War against all
Russian nuclear arsenal. Barks, but does not bite?
716 of billions of dollars is a huge amount, especially if we recall the attempts of the “peacemaker” Obama to reduce the military budget (Obama’s plan, we recall, was designed for ten years ahead).
It is obvious that the anti-Russian hysteria has become a convenient excuse for a new arms race launched by hawk Trump. The policy of the new cold war is also being promoted. Undoubtedly, in nominal terms, Donald Trump had already surpassed his idol Ronald Reagan, who had fought unemployment in the United States with the help of the “Soviet threat” and the rapid inflation of the military-industrial complex. Such a policy had a downside: it created a budget deficit and was expressed in the rapid growth of public debt. But Reagan and his capitalists henchmen were little concerned about the problems of future generations. According to some reports, 157 spent billions of dollars from defense budgets (over eight years of government) only for the arms race "against the USSR" under Reagan. According to others, in the first five years of the presidency, Reagan has poured into the defense budget of the state 1,6 trillion. dollars. The curve on the graphs of growth of military spending sharply flew up.
The opposite effect happened. In 1986, the US budget deficit also abruptly “flew up”: from 60 billion dollars in 1980, it increased to 220 billion dollars. Public debt more than doubled over the same period: from 749 to 1746 billion dollars.
The endless raising of the US national debt ceiling under Obama, which the Russian media made fun of, is a legacy of the “defense” policy of Reagan and Bush Jr., who started two protracted wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Obviously, Mr. Trump is following in the footsteps of his idol, Mr. Reagan. This is also obvious because Trump is a capitalist to the marrow of his bones and does not live according to the plan of state construction for centuries, as the Chinese do, but lives according to a business plan. Inflating the military-industrial complex is unpromising for the future (further rapid growth of the national debt and budget deficit, the high cost of servicing military equipment and maintaining the army, acute problems in international politics, the risk of world war, etc.), but the capitalist does not think about the future.

And actually, what did the authors of the show of the colorful Florida missile cartoons want? Their idea was completely successful. Those whom they wanted to troll, instead of having a fun laugh, for some reason increased the military budget. As D. Medvedev proudly said: “The ring around our country begins to shrink.”
How the Russian economy will perish
New sanctions named Skripale, poisoned by someone in Salisbury (England), the US State Department went as it were in his last and decisive sanctions battle against Russia with the dollar at the ready. The beginning of the offensive is 22 in August, the main sanctions strike is planned to be delivered in three months, in November, when the mid-term Congress elections will be held in the USA
The sluggishness associated with the imposition of scheduled sanctions is uncharacteristic for the United States. Apparently, the consequences of the new package of anti-Russian sanctions are to some extent disturbing even the American hawks who have promoted it. The Washington Post writes that the economy of Russia will completely collapse from the dollar "weaning", and also because American companies will not be allowed to do business in Russia, and Aeroflot will not be allowed to fly to the United States. True, experts forget that, for example, the Iranian economy has suffered greatly from perennial sanctions, but it has not collapsed. In addition, the “sanctions” sluggishness means that the interests of American business are not alien to the White House, where the billionaire businessman sits on the throne, nor to the congressmen, who are paid by American businesses for election campaigns. Probably, the death of the Russian economy (the one that President B.H. Obama “tore into tatters”) is once again postponed.

US sanctions against Russia are intended only to cover their own crisis, and at the same time to shift the blame on another. Like, this is Russia to blame. No wonder Russia dropped most of the "trezheris", apparently, he knows something. All the rest is just pretexts and absurd excuses from the United States.

Then why do we react, if it is purely theirs, overseas problems. And in general, they have a crisis, and we are on the rise. It seems to me that there is no need to even discuss such topics - just a waste of time.
Americans are preparing for a battle in the North Atlantic
Surprisingly, in the United States they started talking about a possible military confrontation in the North Atlantic. And this despite Russia's confidence that the Russian fleet is weak, it’s not very suitable for anyone outside the coastal zone of responsibility aviation unlikely to be able to oppose something to the American naval power ...
The head of the US Navy command, John Richardson, in an interview with Voice of America radio station, noted that the Russian Navy has been very active in the North Atlantic over the past twenty-five years. And especially he singled out the last five-year plan. According to the admiral, the US fleet should return to a "more competitive way of thinking." And this is a soft statement: Richardson’s colleague, Charles Richard, head of the underwater fleet USA, put it much harder: "Get ready for battle!"
To say that the Russian Navy will be able to defy NATO forces in the North Atlantic (in the coming years) would be too bold, analyst V. Kuzovkov said. With the current alignment of forces in the region, the campaign “behind the corner” of a large surface unit of the Russian Federation “in a real military stop can only end with the defeat of the new Tsushima,” he writes.
Probably, some hopes could be pinned on strategic partners, that is, Chinese comrades who are increasing their naval power at an accelerated pace, but, firstly, China does not have the necessary coastal infrastructure in the region, and secondly, in the case of “hot” warships will be needed by Beijing in the usual area of responsibility.

"Nevertheless, let us remember that America itself is in a very difficult situation, and it may simply not have a choice left after 3-4 of the year."
And what will happen through 3-4 of the year, without what choice can America remain? Russia will catch up and overtake America, or what? Or maybe someone will dominate the United States? Will cover the weak America with military bases and strangle sanctions !!
But Russia has a very bad economy. And here it is even optional to block the ports! With the growth of GDP at the level of error, the country is doomed to lag. And even if a miracle happens, if you succeed in reaching the world average pace (Putin did not even threaten plans for more!), This is still too small to at least catch up with the developed countries, and even more to overtake.
Face the people need to turn and deal with their economies, and not to cancel pensions and increase taxes. Eternally falling ruble is also not conducive to the development of the economy, contrary to the votes of zaputintsev.

Rousseau Iskandero = American Insurance
In the press Italian ... sorry, in the Italian press told about the Americans' fear of Russian weapons.
The operational and tactical Iskander missile systems deployed in the Kaliningrad region, designed to control most of Eastern Europe, including objects of the Euro-Atlantic missile defense system, became the reason for the analysts of one Italian edition. Il Giornale published an article entitled “Ecco perchè la Nato teme il sistema missilistico russo Iskander” (“That’s why NATO is afraid of the Russian Iskander missile system). The author of the article, Franco Yakk, noted that a new version of this complex was created to combat the superiority of NATO fleets.
According to the United States, not so long ago, two batteries of the Iskander complexes received a promising cruise missile 9М729 Novator (according to the NATO classification - SSC-8). Unlike its predecessors, this product is capable of showing a range of at least 5500 km. In this regard, analyst F. Yakk wrote about a possible violation of the existing treaty on medium and short-range missiles. At the same time, the analyst noted the fighting qualities of the newest Russian rocket. For example, when launched from the Moscow region, the 9М729 product will be able to hit any target in Western Europe. The launch of such missiles from the territory of Siberia allows you to control the entire west coast of the United States ... So much for the "fear of the US."

Here is how they read the contracts! The PRSMD clearly states: for unearthly missiles. Missiles launched from air and sea carriers are not covered by the treaty.

What problems? There are doubts - agree on inspections. They do not want to negotiate with you about inspections - think why?
Perhaps, it was not worth introducing sanctions, aggravating relations, respectively, provoking exacerbation of the situation and provoking an arms race ...

My purely personal opinion on this issue simply to the obscene:
1. We do not need mechanisms for mutual inspections with the Americans.
2. New SALT-START treaties, too.
The reasons are simple: all the "pain points" of the United States have long been known, like the old women of Europe. Their European arsenal is not considered anywhere, i.e. NATO arsenal is not cumulative in treaties. I am not a recorded non-distributor, and an excessive number of inspectors, world-wide experts feed around the topic. And it’s just unpleasant to know how we, for example, are still doing, for example, the foreign technique of protecting and controlling the perimeter of sensitive sites. For nothing. How we dispose of our nuclear submarines simply due to the fact that Yuzhmash cannot produce and sell anything to Russia, and we can’t either launch our SLBMs (for a specific project) or simply don’t have time for development and testing. There is nothing for us to discuss anything in this area with the most likely adversary. Already dosokrokalis, no place further.

Carefully, left Sarah!
Not only Italians tell about American fear.
A well-known member of the German parliament from the Leftist faction, Sarah Wagenknecht, spoke about another big American fear. According to Sarah, in Washington, they are afraid of a rapprochement between Russia and Germany. According to the leader of the Die Linke faction, the American political and economic elites are concerned about the buildup of Russian-German economic cooperation, mainly in the fuel and energy complex: “The United States has always been afraid of combining Russian resources and German technology. And rightly so ... "
Sarah is not the only one who warns the United States and criticizes Trump’s sanctions policy.
Opposition politicians in Germany earlier reminded Washington that four years ago, suggesting the EU to support anti-Russian sanctions, the Americans promised to publish satellite images of the attack on the Malaysian Boeing-777. Obedient Germany imposed sanctions. But it turned out that no pictures were submitted. And now they are not. Meanwhile, over the four sanction years, the German economy has lost more than 10 billion euros and over a hundred thousand jobs!
So will Germany really continue to be just as obedient and will live in spite of its well-being?
As for Russia, it would have lived well and without any fear of “international sanctions” only if it had not only its own resources, but also its own technologies. The first ones are exhaustible, the second ones are not.

This is understandable, I am more interested. How did it happen that the country that lost the war has technologies several orders of magnitude higher, or even no analogues at all, how did it happen? After all, this did not happen yesterday or even the day before yesterday, even the Union was in good health. This is really incomprehensible and insulting.

What is not clear: the technology remained on paper. Then they developed in the western part, occupied by the USA ...
Their technology has not disappeared anywhere! Partially moved to the US (military), but civilians remained.
When the Red Army approached, technology moved closer to our Western allies in the anti-Hitler coalition! Thus the Germans kept them. They really did not want something to get the USSR!

Do not think about the fact that the Germans drove back and forth "technology")) They saved their skin, they did not have it before. And all the technologies at the time were taken away by the Americans and partially by us. And the reason for the snatch of western Germany is, firstly, because they are Germans, and secondly, the Americans helped them well after the war and did not interfere. There was, so to speak, a competition of management models: Communist East Germany versus West. Who won, everyone knows.
Let the crazy idea - do not solve the heat of the moment!
US Assistant Secretary of State for Arms Control Issues Ilim Poblet said at the UN Disarmament Conference that the United States was "concerned about Moscow’s space plans." Poblet reported that Washington was concerned about the creation by Russia of new space weapons, including the Peresvet combat laser complex and the “observer” satellite, which was launched last fall into orbit. However, she said that the Russian "spy satellite" "behaves abnormally," but refused to clarify her words, adding that "this is another proof that Moscow’s words are at odds with her actions."
In response, Deputy Dean of Russia to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva, Alexander Deineko, called the words Poblet "unfounded, slanderous accusations based on suspicions and assumptions."
It must be assumed that in Washington a new method of bringing cosmic evidence was invented. It consists of four consecutive theses: 1) a statement about some controversial object in orbit; 2) the refusal of the declarant of the description of the actions of the object; 3) statement about the abnormality of the object, and not declaring; 4) is a short speech about the hostile policy of Moscow, creating abnormal objects that threaten the planet, the Solar System and the Galaxy.
Obviously, Mrs. Poblet does not want to use obsolete stencils Jen Psaki, dumped the burden of evidence on the "office". It's a pity! We already imagine how Ilim Poblet after Matt Lee's leading question suddenly answers:
“I have to ask Darth Vader!”

What should Russia do under the conditions when NATO is approaching from all sides, when American fleets in the Pacific Ocean like wolves lined up? When they begin to approach from the north? Of course, there are answers to all these questions, but their stupid pressure on Russia is striking, which they won’t think up ...

The satellite is normal, it's just that your below plinth intellect is not able to realize that it does not obey you, and it is not in your space that laws fly by your laws and orders! And to the Peresvet laser we will add the Gerasim spacecraft so that it sank its satellites from the orbit exactly in the ocean!
Putin in the service of Norway
The regional authorities in northern Norway are not going to send an invitation to President Putin on the occasion of the 75 anniversary of the liberation of East Finnmark (Norwegian north) from the Nazi occupation. It is noteworthy that this event in Norway will be celebrated only next fall, but local authorities have already stated that the invitation to Moscow will be sent “only if Putin fulfills an important condition.”
The “condition” was voiced by a Norwegian government official, Defense Minister Frank Bakke-Jensen. According to Bakke-Jensen, "Putin must deserve an invitation." “Let the Russian president first prove that he respects international law,” said a senior official.
However, the opinion of the minister was not shared by other representatives of the Norwegian authorities, noting that we are talking about the liberation of the north of the country by the Soviet Army. Russia is the successor of the USSR, and therefore the invitation to Moscow should be sent.
In a word, there was a political split in the government of Norway. Apparently, officials will prefer to retire compromise. For example, the invitation will be sent, but not to Putin. Invite M. S. Gorbachev. Still, the first (and last) President of the USSR ...
