“Military Review” this Sunday evening presents several stories in the section “Weekly Results”.
Short materials with comments from our readers. Today - and with a new subsection - "Not Surprised" (in the final plot).
But what about nirvana?
In the Asian blogosphere, materials began to appear that contradict the initial statements about the shootout on the Indian-Chinese border.
It turns out that in the border battle, the Chinese military used a unique development against Indian opponents - weapon class "tie gun" (铁棍) - an iron stick. In response, the Indian military used the long-established means of defeating the “patthar” (पत्थर) - cobblestone. And somewhere around a couple of thousand kilometers from the place of the Indo-Chinese melee, the rank and file armies of the two countries continued to rub intercontinental ballistic missiles to shine.
Well, if so, then you still feel the thousands of years of wisdom of civilizations ... A stick and a stone are in every way better than something nuclear. True, they still somehow tightly listen to the philosophical and religious precepts of their ancestors about self-contemplation, attitudes towards the world and the desire for nirvana ...

“I don’t know what kind of weapon the third world war will be, but the fourth - with sticks and stones,” Putin said, recalling Einstein’s quote. That's her?

In fact, a very humane weapon - it doesn’t work in areas, the death of civilians in the event of a miss is excluded. Also, civilians, as a rule, do not suffer, the range is small, ideal for use in densely populated areas. Infrastructure objects, residential buildings with these weapons are practically not damaged, that is, civilian, in which case, no harm will be done.
Warlike abbot
Dramatic events unfolded in the Central Ural Monastery, not far from Yekaterinburg. The monastery is captured by the people of the disgraced shiigumen, but the police have not yet taken coercive measures against the clergyman.
In the week, Sergius, aka Nikolai Romanov, called on Patriarch Kirill to resign his patriarchal powers.
If only four months ago there appeared a summary from the series: a monk who had previously served as a policeman expresses disobedience to church hierarchs because they ordered that people not be allowed into the monastery because of a disease that spread across the entire planet ... One could twist a finger at the temple and marvel at the absurdity of the movie script. But in the courtyard of June 2020, when the igmunas went too warlike, and they thank some for the masks on their faces, others strive to “walk” on this very face. And what you wanted is self-isolation, it is like that. They tried to plant all the “cells”, but then it turned out that not all of us have monks in order to accept this humbly. There, shihigumen and he could not stand it ...

Amendments about God to the constitution will be accepted, and they will figure out who is right there and who is not.

Yesterday I talked with a colleague from those places ... the information is very contradictory, both about the identity of the abbot himself and about a rather small but close-knit group of people (you do not need to call them Cossacks), which helped him with the capture of the temple. Locals look at all this in perplexity!

If you step aside from the conflict of this person with your bosses and just look at him, one factor scratches with dissonance. Shihigumeny do not behave like that. Schema is a complete departure from the world. The schemnik does not even live in a monastery: in a remote monastery or in a separate cell - in a lock. He does not preach, does not profess, perhaps does not even serve to humble the liturgy himself, does not gather people around his person. I saw the skimmers on Athos in a Serbian monastery: they appeared in the general service and disappeared after it. Sergius does not refuse the world. What is it? It turns out that he took the schema for his authority, out of pride? How can a monk and pride get along together? And so it may be that he went to such a split. And his judgments about the coronavirus - some kind of childhood. They would take him and take him to the morgue at the infectious diseases hospital. Although, in his zealous position, this will not help, he is already blind. Or too cunning.
I'm sorry if I offended anyone with my reasoning. This is an attempt to look at the situation spiritually soberly, without emotions.

Close your left eye, read the third line: MiG-29, Su-24, P-18 ...
The African Command of the US Armed Forces (AFRICOM) has published new photographs, which, according to the US military, indicate the presence of the Russian military aviation in Libya.
No, the "satellite" success of the Pentagon, whatever you say, is obvious. If 5-6 years ago, as evidence of the onset of Russian tanks blurry photos of three Rostselmash combines were given out in the Donbass, and for the presence of innumerable Russian divisions there was a screen from a browser-based shooter, now it’s a big step forward. Here the Pentagon can have only one competitor - channel 1, where the fighter is able to grow in size to two football fields ...
In general, any expert understands that if you increase the black dot from the AFRICOM satellite image to a cloudy shadow with something sticking out, then this, of course, is the P-18 Terek ... There’s nothing to say - everything’s obvious ... And it’s not Bellingcat yet. Well, the same one that can have two suns on the evidence photo and which can identify the identity of any rocket according to the mood of Facebook commentators, but cannot do this according to the rocket number shown directly on the frames of the investigation team.

Well, if the Pentagon said and showed ... of course, we believe! Just why the Pentagon did not conduct “deep” analytics - Why does Russia need this? Well, a hypothetical statement about the violation of the international embargo - in general, does not cause other emotions besides laughter ... Tell the Turks - they will definitely listen with all the attention!

The radar photo is really strange, the Pentagon confused the radar station with the railway.

Passion through the pipe
Ukraine accused the Russian company Gazprom of starting to dismantle the pipes of a gas pipeline designed to transit Russian gas through Ukrainian territory.
Kiev accused Gazprom of dismantling pipes for transit of Russian gas
Experts comment on the statement on the dismantling by Russia of pipes for gas transit through Ukraine
Experts comment on the statement on the dismantling by Russia of pipes for gas transit through Ukraine
The Ukrainian expert, apparently, watched the dismantling with binoculars. Well, the scream rose. True, we have to admit that the cry rises in this regard in any case. Pump gas - badly - we will buy from a free and democratic Europe. Do not pump gas - bad again. Oaths ... oaths ... cutting pipes ...
Such passions.
Now they claim that it was allegedly Russia who refused to sell gas to Europe on the Ukrainian border. Well, if in Kiev it’s easier to perceive the refusal of Europeans, so be it. It was Brussels who refused, realizing that in this situation gas through Ukraine may not reach European consumers in contracted volumes - it will “be lost” inadvertently in the pipe, for example, if it conflicts with the laws of physics, it will be teleported to Ukrainian underground storage facilities.

Maybe they started a repair, well, they can’t do it unilaterally.

We would have completed SP2, then we could dictate our conditions.
Gennady Fomkin
For pumping thousands of cubic meters per 100 kilometers, Gazprom has to pay $ 2,5 to Kiev, and for the SP-2 the same amount will cost $ 2,1. The second "Potok" in Gazprom plans to launch right by the end of the contract with Ukraine, that is, in 2020. At the same time, pumping through the territory of Independent Square will be significantly reduced - from 64 billion cubic meters. m (Ukrtransgaz data for 2015) up to 10-15 billion cubic meters. m per year. The path of Russian gas to Europe runs through several Ukrainian gas pipelines. Including the three largest:
The first of these, the Soyuz, has a length of 2750 km, 1568 km of which pass through Ukraine.
The second - "Brotherhood" - is the longest. The path from Urengoy to Pomary and from there to Uzhgorod is 4451 km.
The length of the third of the worthy of separate mention gas pipelines - the Trans-Balkan - is "only" 950 km. It is the Shebelinka-Krivoy Rog-Izmail II route that Gazprom uses to export blue fuel to Turkey and Romania.
In total, our gas travels 3678 km across Ukraine before reaching European countries.

Inputs and outputs: operation "protection against Russians"
“It turns out they were protecting us from Russia”: in Germany they comment on Trump’s decision to partially withdraw troops
You see how ungrateful this Germany really is. She, you know, has been protecting and protecting her for more than 70 years, and she is even greedy to transfer 2 percent of GDP to the NATO capsule. Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia are another matter entirely. The American administration, of course, would have defended it with tripled strength by American soldiers, but there is one problem ... Budgets ... With the Merkel closet, Pan Duda's pantry, not to mention the Baltic chests, can not be compared. A few regiments can pull, but nothing more. Otherwise, even more plumbers will have to be sent to Belgium and Britain from among the citizens in order to cover the requests of American guardians of the Baltic sovereignty with money transfers.
True, Trump himself has not yet decided how much exactly and where exactly to withdraw, so that it would not be particularly noticeable to introduce. Therefore, especially those who are afraid of the Russian threat to German citizens - well, those who have absolutely no threat in the neighborhood on the street - Afghan, Libyan, Turkish and Somali friends, can be calm. For the time being they are under the reliable protection of the star-striped flag. The main thing is that they did not forget to pay on time.

Will leave. But first, they will set fire to all the houses in the district.

But Trump is right! Since 1945, from the moment when the Soviet army (we were then called and continue to be called Russians in the West) broke into the den of fascism - Germany, the United States began to defend the Germans. To whom did they rush to hand over the crowds of ideological sadists from the SS and other Nazi warriors who burned down villages in the USSR together with residents, as well as manufacturers and respectable burghers holding children and women forcibly removed from the USSR? Of course, to the West under the wing of the United States and Great Britain, which saved hundreds of thousands of war criminals. While the generation of World War II was alive, it remembered its crimes on the territory of the USSR and was afraid of the punishment from which "American democracy" defended them, and paid the United States for this protection. Now the ungrateful descendants of fascist Germany have ceased to be afraid and do not want to pay a "tribute of thanks" to the Americans. I would create some kind of "popular rage" at the place of Trump under the slogan - "We remember, we are afraid." Let the Germans not forget - REMEMBER about the crimes of their ancestors, and are AFRAID that if anyone else has a bad idea of coming to Russia with weapons, they are unlikely to be "protected by the USA" again ...
99% of Germans approved the German invasion of the USSR in June 1941 - this is a fact.

In fact, they rotted about a million Germans in concentration camps and specifically robbed the remnants of the country.

But isn’t it enough to protect against Russia the most powerful army in Europe? Why so many understudies?
An additional subsection of "Results" - "Not surprised." In this section today - Vladimir Putin did not rule out the possibility of running for a new presidential term.

In the days of doubt and painful reflection, I decided to support Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.
I weighed two things.
1) the amendments to the Constitution themselves. Many are very necessary.
I like the ban on dual citizenship for officials and the ban on cash accounts abroad.
I support the priority of Russian law over international, even through a constitutional court.
2) I observed almost the entire quarantine of the angry statements of a number of fellow citizens, turning into hysteria. They are based on the following points:
- amendments are being made to nullify Putin’s presidential terms.
- it is necessary to prohibit / boycott the vote because the people decide nothing / the government falsifies everything.
I have weighed everything. Opponents of the vote for amendments criticize only one amendment - about zeroing the deadlines. About the others - they say almost nothing.
Opponents of the amendments are not confident in the people. For me, this last thing is to not be sure of the ability of our people to reason and think freely.
Our people remember the waste of Perestroika-Catastrophe, the "dashing nineties", and the permanent financial crisis. By the way, under Putin there is no such inflation as in the 90s. Let me remind you this too.
Therefore - I’ll go to vote. And I will say yes to the amendments.
And that's why I support the amendments. I do not want a repeat of either 1917 or 1991.
Russia needs a quiet development.
