Geopolitical mosaic: the London Magnitsky List has been announced as a newspaper duck, and the thickness of the Americans correlates with their stupidity
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia will not tolerate the threat of militants from the FSA. The Russian Foreign Ministry does not intend to tolerate threats from the Free Syrian Army, which issued an ultimatum on the cessation of civilian flights aviation to Damascus and Aleppo, reports Interfax.
Statements by insurgents from the SSA that international civilian airports of Damascus and Aleppo are now viewed as military targets, and civilian aircraft will get off, were widely distributed in the media, Moscow appreciated as follows: “It is necessary to influence SSA leaders in the most decisive manner in order to eliminate such threats , not to mention their implementation. Russia has already appealed in this regard through diplomatic channels to those countries that have a corresponding influence on the radical Syrian opposition. ” This position was voiced in the comments of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, published on the website of the Ministry.
As for the aggressive intentions of the “fighters” from the SSA, they did not advise flying to Damascus and Aleppo, starting from Tuesday. Oppositionists warned: "The civilian airports of Damascus and Aleppo can become the targets of attacks by the SSA forces as early as Tuesday, as they are used by the regime for military aircraft striking Syrian rebels."
Interfax reports that in the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, the SSA threats were regarded as a violation of international law, first of all, the Chicago Convention 1944 of the Year “On International Civil Aviation”.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that from a moral and legal point of view, such a statement means a critical approach of the opposition to the “red line”, beyond which actions are completely indistinguishable from al-Qaida’s crimes. The department believes that “if the SSA threats are implemented in practice, full responsibility for the consequences will fall not only on the direct perpetrators, but also on their patrons.”
Different approach. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov believes that Moscow and Washington have a different approach to resolving the Syrian conflict. This resource tells KM.rureferring to RIA "News».
Comrade Lavrov reminded the US government about the Geneva agreements on Syria, according to which both parties to the conflict should cease fire and resolve the conflict in a peaceful way. Meanwhile, in the opinion of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Moscow and Washington have a different approach to progress towards this goal.
For the United States, according to Lavrov, “the main thing is to advance ahead of the course of events,” that is, “remove” Syrian President Bashar Assad and create a transitional government. The position of Damascus is ignored. As a result, we have the actual imposition of an external scheme for resolving the conflict.
The Russian minister reaffirmed the Kremlin’s unchanged position regarding the Syrian conflict: the people of Syria must independently choose their future.
Mission is impossible? Syrian Minister of Information Omran al-Zuabi said that Damascus is ready to welcome any peace initiative to resolve the conflict in the country, if it does not affect national sovereignty. He also confirmed the Syrian government’s readiness to accept Lakhdar Brahimi, who assumed the post of UN Special Representative and the Arab League on September 1, "Vesti".
In Damascus, they believe that the mission of Kofi Annan, the predecessor of Brahimi as special envoy, “failed because financial, military and informational support for terrorist formations was not stopped,” turns out to be primarily Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. “Brahimi’s work will be successful if he can stop this terrorist aggression against Syria,” the Syrian minister said.
However, Comrade Brahimi himself considers his mission "almost impossible." The Algerian diplomat said: “I know how hard it is, how practically impracticable it is. However, I do not say that it is not feasible. I say - almost.
How Brahimi will act is unknown. So far, one thing is clear - he will try with all his might to prevent the introduction of foreign troops into Syria.
France is haunted by the idea of an "alternative government" in Syria. As conveyed yesterday from Paris correspondent ITAR-TASS Ilya Baranov, France favors the creation of a Syrian "alternative government". This was announced by Francois Hollande at a joint press conference in Rome with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti.
The French leader said: “We must stimulate the transfer of power in Syria. Therefore, I support the formation of an alternative government. ”
Mario Monti responded by saying that Italy “fully supports the positive mission” of the joint UN Special Representative and Arab League Lakhdar Brahimi. However, he said that Italy will continue to cooperate with France, "in order to achieve the transfer of power in Syria."
It is interesting to add from myself how this adherent of double standards, approving of both the policy of Brahimi and the policy of Hollande, can make you happy about both gentlemen? Do not be surprised if after a couple of days, this Italian will nod in agreement to Moscow.
America will accelerate the fall of Assad. How 4 was sent from September from Charlotte (North Carolina, USA) special correspondents of ITAR-TASS Dmitry Kirsanov and Ivan LebedevThe United States will continue to work with other states to “accelerate the fall of the regime” by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and support this country's transition to “stable and democratic rule.” This was stated in the election platform of the US Democratic Party, previously agreed on the sidelines of the national convention, held in Charlotte.
The program document outlined the goals of the American Democrats, to the fulfillment of which in the case of re-election the party leader, President Barack Obama, will strive.
The platform directly indicates the intention of the Democratic Party to continue to "help" the countries of the Middle East and North Africa, including Egypt and Libya. Help will be to build more open and free societies after the change of government in the Arab Spring.
The spread of democracy throughout the world, as well as its preservation in the country, the US Democratic Party considers its important task. Obama and the party firmly believe that "countries that provide an opportunity for their citizens to use these values will eventually become more prosperous, peaceful, and friendlier to the United States than those that do not."
It turns out, let's add, the realization of the American scenario of the “Arab spring” is the path to friendship with America. The way for those, of course, who came to power with American and Western approval in general - like, for example, the government in Libya or Mr. Mursi in Egypt. And there is nothing that protests in squares continue in Egypt, similar to those that were in the twilight of Mubarak’s rule, political prisoners are still languishing in prisons, and there is no freedom of speech either. The Libyan “democracy” is criticized even by the Americans themselves, who reluctantly admit that there is no place worse with stability and democratic freedoms in Libya. The friendship of Libya and Egypt with America is generally a matter of political myths. Americans still have a grief with the Libyan terrorists and the guys commanded by Mursi. Sooner or later, the excited hordes of the "spring" Arabs will show America its democratic place.
The United States, according to the assurance at the Congress of Democrats of their current leadership, "will not impose any system of government on other countries," because everywhere there are national characteristics and historical traditions that force each state to choose its own path of development. At the same time, according to the platform of American democrats, "state sovereignty should not suppress individual freedoms."
The Saudi kingdom, let us add from itself, in which it does not smell of democracy, has long suited America. Especially at a time when the Saudis, bringing down the price of oil to a minimum, broke up the USSR (in its not the best of times). Or a lot of democracy in Bahrain? But in Syria, probably, “individual freedoms” are completely suppressed by “state sovereignty.” Among individual freedoms, we must understand, the American Democrats and their star-striped leader Obama see the desire to make fake news about the atrocities of the Syrian army, the organization of terrorist attacks, and the killing of civilians. Chaos in the cities of the country is beneficial only to Western and Arab dealers pursuing their own geopolitical interests, and at the same time plays into the hands and small people - Syrian "opposition" and foreign hirelings, ready to cut, blow up and torture for a few dollars a day, fighting for "democracy" shoulder to shoulder with al Qaeda fighters.
Egypt heeded Israel. Egypt began to withdraw heavy armored vehicles from the Sinai Peninsula, which was introduced in the region in August to fight extremist groups. Reports about it RIA News" with reference to Reuters.
"Twenty tanks were relocated from the central part of Sinai (to the west) towards Suez, ”a Reuters source said, adding that 20 units of light armored vehicles arrived to replace the tanks.
In Israel, desecrated a Christian monastery. Israeli police launched an investigation into the desecration of a Christian monastery in the city of Latrun on the night of September 4. "Lenta.ru" with reference to "Ediot Ahronot."
The walls of the monastery were inscribed with insulting graffiti in Hebrew (“Jesus is a monkey” and others), and the wooden gates of the monastery were burned.
Abbot Louis, the abbot of the monastery, reported that the attack took place at about half past four in the morning. Seeing that the doors of the monastery were burning, one of the pilgrim monks woke the brethren. Then he grabbed a fire extinguisher and put out the flames.
“If he had not had time to do this, everything would have burned here,” said the abbot. According to the head priest, the monks understand the tensions that arise in Israeli society due to the forced evacuation of some Jewish settlements from the west coast of Jordan. “But it’s not at all clear, where are we? We Christians try to do everything with love. We are very saddened by this incident. Shame on those who do not want to understand and accept people of other views, ”he said.
"Ribbon" recalls that the attack on the monastery in Latrun - not the first incident of this kind. In February, vandals wrote “Death to Christianity” on the Baptist church in Jerusalem.
Case ten. NATO representatives decided to suspend the training of more than 27.000 Afghan recruits. Their possible ties to the rebels will be re-checked, reports "Reedus" with reference to The Washington Post.
The NATO leadership acknowledged that verification of the military and police in Afghanistan has never occurred at the proper level. “Everyone admits that there was strong international pressure aimed at the growth of these forces, and inspections became the tenth affair,” the Washington Post quotes one of the NATO officials.
“We live with the Afghans,” the deputy commander of the special operational contingent in Afghanistan said. “We cannot afford to take risks with checks.”
Afghan officials also check their troops. Of the 1100 people who passed it, five were suspended from the program.
It is reported that checking all Afghan soldiers will take about two months.
“We must reduce risks by reducing certain interactions with Afghans. We should not sleep or wash next to them, because then we are most vulnerable, ”says a NATO spokesman.
Better yet, add on your own, leave for you in America - and sleep and wash there. You will be cleaner and cleaner!
Hamid Karzai convicted Australian soldiers. The Afghan president condemned the actions of Australian soldiers who killed two local residents in the province of Uruzgan, pass "Arguments of the week" with reference to "Ribbon".
The Australian military ISAF, carrying out a night raid in the provincial capital of Tirinkot, killed two local residents: 70-year-old Haji Raz Mohammed and his 30-year-old son Abdul Jalil. H. Karzai instructed the governor and the head of the Uruzgan police to investigate the circumstances of the incident and report to him on the results.
It is indicated that the cause of the raid was the death in Uruzgan near 10 by soldiers from the Australian ISAF contingent.
Our in Warsaw did not wait for ours. The equestrian Cossack campaign Moscow - Paris ", timed to the 200 anniversary of the Patriotic War 1812, reached Warsaw, transmit "Vesti".
Cossacks and their horses traveled a third of the way - 1300 kilometers. After the events in Poland, the hike will continue.
It is curious that when they reached Warsaw, the Cossacks discovered that neither the local authorities nor the police knew anything about the campaign to enter the capital. “How we were not accepted for the avant-garde!” The chieftain jokes.
The fact is that the information about the historical action reached the representatives of the Russian embassy too late.
The British "Magnitsky list" does not exist. As stated in the Russian Foreign Ministry, the information about London’s acceptance of the Magnitsky list is not true. In Smolensk Square, this information was received from British colleagues, reports Interfax.
“We received assurances from the leadership of the British Foreign Office that no political decisions were made on the so-called Magnitsky list, and no visa restrictions were imposed on Russian citizens in this regard,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Titov told Interfax. Thus, according to him, “the leadership of the Foreign Office does not confirm the information of the Sunday Times about the introduction of visa bans on the so-called Magnitsky list.”
Ukrainian frigate against Somali pirates. The border guard patrol ship "Hetman Sagaidachny" - the flagship of the Ukrainian Navy - will be sent to the shores of Somalia, where it will take part in an international operation against pirates. This information as reported "Lenta.ru" With reference to UNIAN, confirmed the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Voloshin. According to him, the ship will go to fight with Somali pirates next year.
The decision of the Security Council of Ukraine to participate in an international operation against Somali pirates was made back in 2010 year. Kommersant-Ukraine reported that the campaign of Hetman Sagaidachny to the Somalia region would cost approximately 35-45 million hryvnias (at the current rate this is 4,2-5,5 million dollars).
Lenta reminds that international military patrols in the territorial waters of Somalia were organized in 2008 by the sanction of the UN Security Council. The reason for the patrols became the frequent hijackings of ships by pirates.
The Knight Templar Order Breivik invented. According to the newspaper Aftenposten, which leads "Vesti", the Norwegian police will not continue to search for alleged associates of Anders Breivik.
Christian Haltu, a spokesman for the Oslo police district, said that everything necessary was done. He said: “I don’t think we will do anything else. We received the support of the court in the fact that the Knights Templar order does not exist, and therefore we see no reason to continue searching for the cells of this organization. ”
Insults in Brussels have become paid. Brussels municipality imposed yesterday administrative fines for insulting people in public places and on the streets of the city, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse. Now violators for their actions will be obliged to pay euros to 250.
Freddie Tieleman, mayor of the city, said: “Any form of insult will be punished. This applies to racist, sexist, homophobic statements and the like. ”
As reported, the Brussels courts are loaded with other work, so domestic insults often go unpunished. But from now on, the police have the right to fine violators. By the way, fines can be applied to those rude, who are pushing or kicking others.
The indirect reason for the revitalization of the administration was the documentary Woman in the Street. In this tape, which was partially filmed by a hidden camera, it is shown that a single woman on the streets of Brussels often becomes the object of humiliation and insults.
26 million dollars for Senkaku. As reported from Tokyo correspondent ITAR-TASS Igor Belyaev, the Japanese government agreed with the private owner of the disputed Senkaku Islands about their purchase for 2 billion 50 million yen (about 26 million US dollars).
Given the difficult financial situation in which the Japanese government is now located, the money to buy the Senkaku Islands will be taken from the reserve fund. It is expected that today there will be a meeting between representatives of the central government and the governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara (he intended to buy these islands for his prefecture).
Meanwhile, the three islands - Utsuri, Kitako and Minamiko - in China call Diaoyudao and consider their territory.
Because of the bargaining over the islands, their private owner even changed the Japanese business traditions. Earlier, his representatives emphasized that the islands would be sold to Tokyo prefecture, with which an agreement was concluded. The rigid and unchanging position was explained by the commitment of the owner of the islands to the classical Japanese traditions of doing business, according to which the initial agreements are above all.
However, the seller preserved the tradition as soon as he realized that the government offers him 50 million yen (about 640 thousand dollars) more than the capital's prefecture.
It’s time, we add, to bargain with China. Thousands more for 100-200 dollars the seller will change the second solution. However, Beijing is inconvenient to bargain: after all, he already considers the islands his own. This is what geopolitical embarrassment might be caused by aggressive foreign policy rhetoric. Not that the world community could observe a fascinating picture of an island auction ...
As the correspondent RIA "Novosti" Ekaterina Plyasunkova, the contract of sale of the islands between their owner, Mr. Kurihara, and the Japanese government has not yet been drawn up. But according to Japanese media reports, the Japanese government intends to complete the deal during September.
Young Chinese hooligans who attacked the car of the Japanese ambassador, detained. Chinese police detained two hooligans who tore off a flag a week ago from a Japanese ambassador’s car in Beijing. Age of detainees - 23 years and 25 years. They are accused of disturbing public order. Another attacker issued a warning. All detainees admitted their guilt, pass "Vesti" with reference to Interfax.
The hooligans in two cars blocked the car, in which the ambassador followed, and then tore off the national flag of Japan from the car. After that they disappeared. The ambassador was not injured.
"Vesti" reminds that the Chinese media regarded the attack on the ambassadorial car as a response to the actions of the Japanese government regarding the Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku). During the protest demonstrations that took place recently on the streets of Chinese cities, their participants attacked Japanese restaurants and cars.
In connection with the latest bargaining over the islands, we add from ourselves, we must wait for new mass Chinese unrest, as well as formidable "notes" from the Chinese leadership to Tokyo.
Is China a wind of change? The editor-in-chief of the Chinese party newspaper The Study Times, Deng Yuven, launched a campaign in the pages of his publication criticizing the current leadership of the country, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to France-Presse.
The main objects of his critics are large figures: Chairman of the People's Republic of China Hu Jintao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao. These comrades have led the country over the past 10 years, however, as Dan wrote in the newspaper, during their rule they “created more problems than they achieved success”.
According to the journalist, Hu and Wen promised democratization, the rule of law and political reforms, but "in reality, progress was insignificant, and democratization was barely noticeable."
Deng Yuven noted that the system prevailing in the PRC gave rise to the irresponsibility of the authorities and caused a monstrous difference in incomes between the poor and the rich. The journalist also noted the problem of environmental pollution.
In addition, Comrade Yuven criticized the inability of the authorities to adapt to modern means of communication and dissemination of information, including through social networks. Managers push the performances of citizens by force.
Lenta notes that government censors have removed part of Dan’s claims from the publication’s website. However, much of his article has been preserved. In addition, full quotes from the article were published on the blogs of Chinese users.
It is expected that at the end of this year, Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao will leave their posts, yielding power to the new leaders.
Quebec affairs. In Quebec, the Canadian separatists won the election. "The Quebec Party" (according to preliminary data) won enough votes to form a government, according to "Vesti".
The named party fights for the state sovereignty of the province, as well as for the preservation of the French language. Previously, she initiated two referendum on independence of Quebec, and the second almost ended in victory for the supporters of the secession.
However, now, according to opinion polls, the idea of separation from Canada is supported by the entire 28% of Quebec residents.
In the Canadian media there is an opinion that Quebec people vote for the opposition not because they support its ideas. They do not like the Liberal Party, which won three consecutive elective races.
Many Muslims at the congress of the American Democratic Party. How to pass from Washington correspondent RIA "News" Maria Tabak and Denis Voroshilov, a record number of Muslims participate in the current US Democratic Party convention (according to the US-Islamic Council).
The statement of the Council’s Government Relations Coordinator, Robert McCaw, said: “More than double the number of Muslim delegates at the current Democratic Party Congress is a direct result of the hard work and efforts of local organizers. This fact also speaks of the increased participation of the Muslim community in the life of the country and its support for the Democratic Party. ”
It is noted that at the convention in Charlotte, there are more than 100 Muslim delegates representing approximately 20 states. In 2008, the Muslims at the Democratic Party convention were 43, in 2004 - 25.
How Obama will lift the American economy. RIA Novosti correspondents Maria Tabak, Denis Voroshilov talked about the evening speech at the Congress of the Democratic Party of the mayor of the city of San Antonio (Texas) Julian Castro. It is curious that Mr. Castro was introduced to the democratic audience by Mr. Twin's twin brother Joaquin.
According to Castro (or his brother), US President Barack Obama (understandably, unlike his electoral contestant) understands the needs of the middle class and knows how to raise the country's economy.
To begin with, Castro made fun of Mitt Romney, recalling the advice given to them by students in Ohio: to start a business, borrowing money from parents. “Their theory has been tested. She failed. Our economy has failed. The middle class paid for it. Your family paid for it. Mitt Romney simply does not understand this, ”said Castro.
Obama's key economic solution is to retain tax breaks only for the middle class in the United States, that is, those whose individual income is 200 thousand dollars a year (or 250 thousand - if the total family income is taxed).
Republicans under the leadership of Romney defend the interests of big business. They believe that raising taxes for millionaires is unfair. After all, big business is a large taxpayer, respectively.
So far, all attempts by the US administration to raise taxes for big business and wealthy citizens, reminiscent of the "News", are facing resistance from Republicans. Republicans sitting in Congress believe that tax breaks should be preserved for all segments of the population.
Of all these planned innovations and their active confrontation, let us add from ourselves, one thing is clear: the crisis in America is growing stronger, and politicians make their political career on it in well-known and familiar ways: they promise, they promise and they promise again. In the meantime, the point is, the US national debt has taken over the 16 trillions of dollars.
For the first time in American history. As reported today from Washington correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry ZlodorevFor the first time in history, the US national debt exceeded 16 trillion. dollars. This was reported on Tuesday by the US Treasury Department.
The historic event took place on Friday last week, when the level of debt amounted to 16,015 trillion. dollars. The fact is that in just one day he jumped to 25 billion dollars.
Analysts remind that the US government debt ceiling is 16,394 trillion. dollars. According to experts, the situation is such that the new president of the country will have to first raise this ceiling, which may lead to the opposition of the Democrats and the Republicans and the "default" of the new government - regardless of whether we add from ourselves, whoever comes to power - a democrat or Republican. The decision to raise the ceiling will reduce people's sympathy for what is different.
However, probably not everyone in America understands what is being said.
Dull and fat. Susan Pozel, author of The Fat American Teenagers Stupid Article, says a new study approved by Big Pharma (infowars.com), spoke about the "metabolic syndrome", which is characterized, on the one hand, adolescent obesity, on the other - a decrease in brain function and cognitive abilities. Overweight adolescents in the USA currently have lower IQ. Simply put, the author remarks, fat children are stupid.
The study showed that differences in the structure of the brain in overweight children are significant compared with other children. The findings of Dr. Antonio Convitta, the lead author of the study, correlate with the findings of other psychiatrists. The scientist worked in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). His goal was to develop an active diagnosis, with which it would be possible to distinguish children with metabolic syndrome. In total, they were given up to five "warning signs": obesity; low cholesterol; high triglyceride levels; high blood pressure; diabetic level of insulin resistance.
NIH has published data from studies showing that among urban American children are obese - from 10 to 20 percent. It was noted that there are more fat children from private schools than children from public school students. It is clear that children from the middle or higher socio-economic class are more prone to obesity than the poor.
The NIH study blames television for adolescents in total obesity (where they sit more than 3 hours a day) and insufficient participation in domestic work.
According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), by 2030, 42% of the American population is ozdiruet.
After the publication of this study, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke about the "epidemic" and "threat to national security." She said: “Military leaders tell us that if more than one in four young people is not fit for military service - due to overweight, - obesity becomes not only a threat to public health and an economic threat, but it’s already a national threat. security. "
The World Health Organization (WHO) also warns Americans. The WHO calculated that average body weight in North America reached 178 pounds. America is the fattest nation in the world, and therefore consumes a lot of additional resources. Ian Roberts, a professor and co-author of the WHO study, says: “If every country in the world had the same level of fatness that we see in the United States, a recalculation to the conditional weight would give us an additional one billion people with medium-weight bodies.”
Thus, we add from ourselves, not only that adolescents in America, fat, at the same time stupid, so even the Americans, due to their obesity, represent a hundred or two million eaters more than their nominal number. Star-striped residents are ready to devour the entire planet, just to stay as fat and just as stupid. It would be possible to regret them if they with their low IQ did not stick
