                          On April 9, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of St. Matrona. And this day was called - Matrena Semi-rape.

                          On this day, the world celebrates International Top Manager's Day, Finnish Language Day, World Konkani Day and the “laughing gas” birthday.

                          In 1682, the French explorer Robert de La Salle proclaimed the Mississippi River Delta to be the possession of the King of France, Louis XIV, in whose honor Louisiana was named. In 1747, in London, Simon Fraser, 11th Lord Lovat, was executed on treason charges. He became the last person in England sentenced to decapitation by a court. In 1799, the English chemist Humphrey Davy discovered the anesthetic properties of “laughing gas” (nitric oxide). In 1866, the United States introduced the Civil Rights Act, which granted all residents of the country equal rights (excluding Indians living on reserves or in uninhabited territories). In 1963, Winston Churchill became the first foreigner to whom the US Congress awarded the title of honorary citizen of the United States.

                        The smell of durian has a chemical name. This is a condensed aromatic compound Indole, reminiscent of fresh cabbage.

                        But for all, the smell of durian is his own. For some, it smells like sweaty socks, for some it’s garlic, for some it will remind you of the smell of rotten meat or even feces.

          Ukraine and for us is an outpost of the West. For the same purpose, it is also possible to gradually "detach from Russia" the Pskov region, Smolensk region, the Far East, etc. The problem is that the idea that the so-called "Ukraine" is a part of Russia, like the Russian Federation, has been erased from the consciousness of the new generation.

          Everything goes according to the script developed by Brzezinski -
          Tear Ukraine away from Russia and make them enemies.

          hi
          It was expressed by this skunk in life:

          Everything is still and nothing has changed .. Even if we have "democracy" and the capitalist system .. Everything is much deeper!
          Here is an old Crocodile, you read and marvel ..

          The same patterns are now in relation to Russia!

      (The Secretary of Defense reiterated US support for building the capabilities of Ukrainian forces aimed at more effective defense against Russian aggression.)

      But the head of French intelligence officially stated that talk about Russian aggression in / in the former Ukraine is nothing more than "bullshit" at the suggestion of the same USA.

      against the background of "Russian aggression"
      You have not seen real "aggression" yet. The French and Germans at one time experienced this on themselves, but their memory is just felt worn out. The Americans so want Russia to finally hit on Bandera's Ukraine that it even reads in the eyes of not only the Pentagon chief, but also the former US ambassadors to Ukraine. So much room for yelling, for imposing new sanctions for the next 50 years. Dumbfounded by nationalism, Ukraine does not want to understand what fate its supporters have in store for it.

      The US Secretary of Defense praised "the progress of Ukrainian defense reforms," ​​and his Ukrainian counterpart, in response, "reaffirmed the adherence of the Ukrainian armed forces to NATO standards and promised to continue to adhere to the course of Ukraine's entry into the North Atlantic Alliance."
      It’s clear that Ukraine will not receive any real help from the states, but Ukraine needs to heat up the anti-Russian direction, and so they promise mountains of gold and 3 x 4m lard. But these promises are being pursued, although we have already tested on our own experience what these "promises" are worth. Life does not teach Ukrainians anything.

      After Russia's entry into the world arena, the United States came to its senses and hit North Stream 2, entered Kurdistan in Syria (and now you cannot drive them out of there), gave weapons and instructors in Ukraine, help financially + the whole belt from the countries of "friends" is pumping with systems with cruise missiles in Romania and also in Poland, plus a bunch of Abrams tanks of the latest modification with KAZ, and then the Turks rested against Idlib, and we cannot support large forces that could resist the ground forces of Turkey if their division is in Idlib! ... and they arrive, as they say in the VO and on the border of their ogogo, in general, this military theater is far away, and we do not have enough CD carriers for a massive one-time withdrawal of all Turkey's capabilities to resistance, as you remember, the new 2nd frigate was not born yet !! And there are only 26-30 of them, plus at least 2 destroyers for each fleet, landing ships, supplies, etc.
