Results of the week. “A smart face is not a sign of the mind”
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law ratifying the agreement on the conditions for the presence of Russian military bases in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, the Kremlin website reported Wednesday.
The agreement with Tajikistan was signed on 5 on October 2012 of the year in Dushanbe. The total duration of the deployment of the Russian base in the republic is extended to 49 years. The base is located in Tajikistan 19 years (from 1993 year), 30 years she will stay there under a new agreement - until 2042 year. It is envisaged that the Russian military base protects the interests of Russia and, together with the local armed forces, the security of Tajikistan.
At the same time, the Russian side provides assistance in providing Tajikistan with compatible weapons, military and special equipment in accordance with the legislation of Russia on military-technical cooperation. The status of the personnel of the Russian base, the families of military personnel and civilian personnel, the jurisdiction of the base, the interaction and the use of its forces are determined.
It was hardly worth doubting that the Russian president would sign a document ratifying this agreement. The main question in all this stories is what response word Mr. Rahmon will do. After all, it is around the ratification of the relevant agreements by the Tajik authorities that the whole intrigue is twisted. So, if we talk about Dushanbe, then (at the time of the preparation of the materials of the results) information came from the Tajik capital, indicating only that the local government had not yet thought to submit a document on the deployment of the Russian military base to parliament. Apparently, President Rakhmon thinks that before the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan is still far away, which means that you can still have time to get some dividends from Russia for ratifying the agreement. But no matter how these thoughts for Rakhmon did not drag on ... But then the lingering thoughts would bring the people with Taliban "mojaheds" on their heads to knock on the butts of the machine guns on the door of his residence ...

The first combat aircraft took off from a new airfield in Akhtubinsk
Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu solemnly opened on Monday a new airstrip of the Chkalov Flight Test Center in Akhtubinsk, Astrakhan Region, the first demonstration off the new runway was made by two newest aircraft being tested in the center.
"This object is extremely necessary for the Armed Forces, for testing new modernized cars," Shoigu told reporters after the opening of the runway. The minister recalled that in the near future more than 600 new aircraft and nearly a thousand helicopters should arrive in the Armed Forces. “Of course, such facilities are extremely necessary for us,” he noted.
According to the builders, the handed over object is the longest military runway in the country, its length is four kilometers with a width of 60 meters. At the same time it is universal, allowing to receive and send aircraft of any type, of any dimensions, in any weather conditions.
It should be noted that WFP itself is a real technological success in the implementation of projects of this kind. To translate it into reality, it was necessary to lay several layers, starting from a depth of almost two meters. Obviously, one of the options for the appointment of this WFP will be the testing of new types of flying military equipment. Oh, if the roads of Russia were built even though with part of the diligence that was demonstrated during the construction of the Akhtuba runway, then at least one eternal problem in our country would be less.

In Yakutsk, the Victory Day opened a monument to Stalin
In Yakutsk, May 8, the grand opening of the bust of Joseph Stalin took place. During the year, activists of the Council of Veterans of Yakutia conducted negotiations with the company Almazy Anabara. As a result, CEO Matvey Evseev agreed to install Stalin’s bust on the territory of the company's office. Back in 2010, the Council of Veterans of Yakutia sent the same request to the administration of Yakutsk, but was refused. The then mayor, Yuri Zabolev, explained his decision by not considering Joseph Stalin to be worthy of the monument.
The monument is open on a private territory - the territory of a company engaged in diamond mining. They opened, as they say, and discovered ... This, it would seem, should remove questions about the biased event with the hypothetical involvement of the Russian authorities in it. However, the opening of the monuments of the most important "democratic" media was turned into another alarm show. Immediately began to appear snide publication that near the monument to Stalin, residents of Yakutsk were supposed to put a diamond monument to Putin. Opposition blogs instantly crackled that and the monument to Hitler will reach. But it is still forgotten that Volgograd on 9 May became Stalingrad, and then an alarm show in general would bring the most susceptible to a heart attack.
In general, the management of the Almaz Anabar company, as we can now say, skillfully pushed our valiant non-systemic opposition ...

Traffic jams impede them ...
The Victory Parade was attacked by the creative class. Zamglavred "MK" Mujabaev called holding the Parade and its rehearsals fascism and, hiding behind uncle Volodya who fought and "a god I don’t believe in," he shared his hatred for 9 in May when millions of Russian people honor the fallen in a solemn atmosphere. The host of the First Channel Berman, “standing in a deaf traffic jam on the occasion of the parade rehearsal,” also suddenly (and maybe not suddenly) hated the Parade and, hiding behind Isaac’s father, a veteran of the war, though he didn’t come to compare the Parade with fascism, but called it a "rumbling false act." Both he and the other, of course, presented their hatred as caused by concern for the common people and fury against the authorities.
Creative people, as you know, are very worried about ordinary citizens in public - they have a hobby. But in their normal life, not on camera, they do not hide their animal hatred of ordinary Russian people, calling us anchovies, Orthodox and cattle.
And it’s really strange to listen to people who, you see, are unhappy that they have to stand in traffic jams during the training of military personnel for the Victory Parade in various cities of Russia. Moreover, these same people, sitting in their sparkling cars to the sound of some “You make me boom-boom-boom” coming from the car speakers, why don’t they ask themselves: where would they stand now if it weren’t the feat of those in whom honor Victory Parades in Russia and held. At best, people with the surnames Berman or Mudjabaev would have thrashed not with tongues (as they are now), but with pickaxes and shovels somewhere on the next construction sites of the “immense Reich”. It is worth repeating: this is in the very best case ... As they say, nothing personal ... Just in such cases, it is necessary to envisage movement on public transport (metro, for example), tearing off your, sorry, fifth points from soft car seats.

In the western regions of Ukraine 9 May declared a day of mourning
Western regions of Ukraine seriously intend to declare the day of 9 in May as a day of mourning. Moreover, the relevant bills have already been adopted by Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk city councils. According to these documents, on Victory Day festive processions are prohibited, as well as the use of symbols of Soviet times, including the red flag and veterans' military orders. Such a decision of local authorities (which, by the way, are mostly represented by “Svoboda”), causes confusion and bewilderment, because, according to Ukrainian legislation, the holiday 9 is recognized as an official public holiday in May. Obviously, Ukrainian laws mean nothing to neo-fascists.
In accordance with the words of one of the initiators of the decision, the city council deputy from the Freedom party, Lyubomir Melnychuk, all the statements of the Ukrainian government about the celebration of 9 on May and the use of one of the main symbols of communist terror - the red flag - is another provocation, which In some cases, it should not be allowed in Lviv.
Apparently, the parasites in the intestine do not allow representatives of the Ukrainian “national elite” to live in peace, which is now also represented in the country's parliament. One gets the impression that the same Melnichuk and his colleagues see their mission in this world exclusively in the fight against inanimate objects and substations: they cause allergies to the red flags, Russian names of Ukrainian children, or awards of veterans of the Soviet army. For more obviously the thickness of the veins is not enough. But you can fight parasites. Medications have long been known and are abundant ...

In the Russian army will continue to reorganize the brigades in the division
The process of returning to the Russian army almost eliminated during the reforms of the previous Minister of Defense Anatoly Serdyukov such a structural unit as the "division", in particular, in the Western Military District, will continue. Earlier, by the decision of the Minister of Defense, Army General Sergey Shoigu, the Taman Guards Motorized Rifle and Kantemirovskaya Guards were recreated on the basis of military units deployed in the Moscow Region. tank divisions, which in 2009 under the former Minister Anatoly Serdyukov were reorganized into brigades, and the divisions remained only in the Strategic Rocket Forces and the Airborne Forces.
“A number of military units and formations of the Western Military District will soon be reorganized into divisions,” said a spokesman for the Russian military.
The fighters of some reconstructed divisions, by the way, have already participated in the Victory Parade. How did the soldiers of the Preobrazhensky Regiment participate in it, the historical name of which was returned by presidential decree. And if in the appearance of historical names (Preobrazhensky, Semenovsky regiments) see activities, rather, aimed at the formation of historical ties in the troops of Russia, then reforming of some brigades in the division is already a conscious need. At one time, the departure from divisions made a lot of noise and formed such a strategy for the development of the Armed Forces, which was not appropriate in every case. The main thing is that the new re-formation does not become exclusively “paper-based,” because often reforms in our country (military is not an exception) are carried out according to the “paper everything endures” principle that has been established over the decades ...

From the "swamp" in the "swamp". On the May actions of the opposition and the dismissal of Surkov
6 May 2013 of the year on the anniversary of a similar rally, the so-called non-systemic opposition again decided to show the Kremlin “fucking mother” and still on the same Bolotnaya Square to hold another gathering of people “fighting for the fate of Russia”, which this time did not match with multi-digit numerals . There was not a word rally or march of epithets "millionth", "billionth", "galactic" or "interplanetary". This time, obviously, in order not to make the people laugh, the opposition leaders decided to do without loud words in the names of the action they organized. Only the sizzling and, naturally, exclusively irreconcilable slogans on paper posters, which, however, later replenished the warehouses of waste paper collection points to raise funds for the following opposition rallies, flew above the Swamp.
“The meetings are no longer the same,” ordinary oppositionists themselves complained. What is the reason: whether their leaders have been pretty clever, whether the flows of “swamp” financing from abroad have significantly decreased, and the main foreign sponsors of protest actions and movements have thought that it is time to start tying up the “swamp”.
However, in all this “marshy” history, it was not even the opposition rally that turned out to be interesting at all, but quite unexpectedly (for many) the dismissal of Vladislav Surkov, who was considered the permanent political strategist of the Russian authorities. The dismissal coincided with the same opposition action. Accidentally or not?
Immediately after the dismissal of Surkov (of course, of their own accord), they began to guess what the real reason was. Someone linked the “departure” with harsh statements to the RF IC on the Skolkovo Foundation, someone saw vague attempts to justify himself for the brakes in the government’s work on the implementation of the so-called May decrees at a meeting with President Putin, and someone said that Surkov was remembered for opposition activities, which especially showed themselves a year and a half ago. You can reflect on this topic, as well as draw some conclusions, but it would be wiser to wait a bit: after all, there are a lot of major leadership posts in our country — oh, how many - if you are tired of driving one, you can always find another post. And if the post suddenly is not there? Will Vladislav Surkov not want to replenish the ranks of the "glorious" opposition masses, headed by several others "of their own will" - Boris Nemtsov, Mikhail Kasyanov, for example ... Or maybe Vladislav Yuryevich decided to throw the opposition in to have a person there ... Yes, then the whole espionage saga is slandering.

Amnesty seven decades later
After 68 years after the end of the Second World War, the Irish Parliament approved the long-awaited bill, which granted amnesty to more than five thousand Irish soldiers who fought on the side of the anti-Hitler coalition, according to "Vesti" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
Ireland remained neutral during the war, so the soldiers who left the country to fight against fascism in the ranks of the British and American troops were recognized as deserters. After returning to their homeland, many of them faced discrimination: they were not taken to work in government, deprived of pensions and benefits, and were denied military honors.
Only in 2012, the government of the republic apologized for the way it treated veterans. The Minister of Justice, Equality and Defense of the country, Alan Shutter, called the decision of the parliament "a historic step that will help restore justice."
He stated: “Unfortunately, many of the veterans did not live to this day, when the state finally recognized the important role that they played in the struggle for a free and safe Europe.”
"Strike a blow, but do not report it."
On the night of May 5, according to official reports from Damascus, Israel struck at a research center in the suburb of Jamray. A day earlier, wrote "Lenta.ru"Israeli sources cited information that the Israeli Air Force destroyed a batch of missiles on the territory of Syria that were supposedly intended for Hezbollah. Israeli authorities refused to comment on the reports of strikes. According to the channel "RT"The Israeli Air Force attacked the military research center, as well as the presidential guard barracks, the Syrian intelligence headquarters, and an ammunition depot. The headquarters of the 104 regiment was completely destroyed. A total of 8-12 heavy bombs were dropped on Damascus.
Member of the Syrian People’s Council Sharif Shhada expressed his opinion on the Israeli attacks channel "RT". He believes that Israel is attacking Syria because of the successes of the army of Damascus to contain armed terrorist groups that are cooperating with Israel against the Syrian people: “With these adventures, Israel wants to put Syria in a frame that is beneficial to it. And thus facilitate the task of the armed forces, distracting the Syrian army by external aggression. " "Israel is deeply stuck in the Syrian crisis and conspiracies against Syria," said Shkhada.
He also believes that Israel intends to draw Syria into a war on two fronts: internal and external: “Israel wants chaos to arise inside Syria. Therefore, we must hold back to restore order inside the country, and then go to fight with Israel. There is still time. The Israeli-Arab confrontation will last for a long time. It will not end in a year or two. ”
Amir Oren, a senior correspondent for the Israeli newspaper Ha-Arets, believes that the possible human casualties of an Israeli air strike on Syria are a necessary price that must be paid to avoid a “new Lebanon war”. He argues that with such actions, Israel seeks to prevent the supply of weapons to Hezbollah and thereby protect its citizens from possible aggression, reports "RT".
The journalist says:
Israel is simply trying to prevent a possible war, the journalist said. The answer in the form of recent attacks, he finds "proportional."
The “RT” presenter said that, according to unconfirmed reports, at least 400 people died as a result of a missile strike by Israel. Is this an adequate reaction to the information denied by Syria about the supply of Hezbollah missiles to it?
Amir Oren responded that “Israel is simply trying to prevent a new Lebanese war ... Perhaps this is the price that must be paid to avoid new victims and the chaos of the next Lebanese war.”

Oleg - many thanks for the review, in general, unbiased, as it should be a review.
But these lines, fascist-cynical, made me quickly go to the site and leave a comment and express outrage:
"... and some Israeli journalists (for example, starkor of the Israeli newspaper Ha-Arets, Amir Oren) said that the attack was aimed at preventing another Lebanese war - and, no matter what the victims (300 or 400), the missile response of the Israeli air force appears they are the price "to pay."
I would also like to say cynically: “Well, let's consider this Israeli sneaky military act, but let Israel sacrifice three or four hundred lives of its citizens as a bargaining chip, for“ peace-loving ”purposes, and see how the rest of the Israelites will. I doubt very much that they will take it with delight as easily as it is easy to accept the death of the Syrians, this Amir. His would be the top ten lambs to the slaughter - "in the name of peace."
When the number was put on ...
9 May, citing a statement from an anonymous Israeli official, Reuters reported that Israel asked Russia not to sell Damascus air defense systems, which could significantly enhance the combat capability of the Syrian government forces.
"We objected to this deal with the Russians, and the Americans did the same," - quotes "Lenta.ru" official words.
The presence of Russian air defense systems would allow government forces to act much more successfully in the event of a military invasion of other states into Syria.
Earlier, on May 8, the American press reported that Syria, through Vnesheconombank, began to pay Russia 900 millions of dollars for the purchase of four C-300 launchers. According to the newspaper The Washington Post, deliveries should begin within three months. Information about this came to Washington from Israel.
Syrian solutions from two American hawks
A group of states needs to prepare troops for the invasion of Syria - in order to ensure the safety of possible stocks of chemical weapons. Such a statement was made recently by Senator John McCain, reports MIGnews.com.
This Arizona Republican said that American troops should not enter Syria, but international forces should be “ready operatively” to prevent an attempt by Islamic militants involved in the Syrian civil war to get their hands on chemical weapons. “There are several military facilities where chemical weapons are stored. They should not fall into the hands of jihadists, ”Mr. McCain said at a meeting with journalists.
In parallel, McCain spoke out of one of his fellow party members, Lindsay Graham.
The disintegration of Syria may occur in the very near future, if the US does not take decisive action against the Assad regime. This opinion was expressed by the American Republican Senator L. Graham, reports correspondent ITAR-TASS Dmitry Zlodorev.
He criticized the actions of the Democratic administration in Washington against Damascus. “Everything goes to the fact that if we do not change the course, Syria will disintegrate by the end of this year,” Mr. Graham said on CBC. He expressed concern that the SAR "may become a haven for al Qaeda supporters, and the" chemical weapons stored there can be in the wrong hands. "
These two factors, according to the legislator, "cause the most serious concern when it comes to Syria."
To solve the problem, Graham proposed military methods. These are: "The method of suppressing the Syrian air force is to destroy their bases with the help of cruise missiles."
It should be noted that Mr. Graham, who is popular in the Senate environment, is so immersed in the field of double standards that instead of jihadists he decided to destroy the Syrian air force.

Maybe the intersection of the ocean affects people like that? Or intoxication "air of freedom"?
We are waiting for official explanations ...
Mr. Stevens gives advice to Mr. Obama.
Browser Bret Stevens ("The Wall Street Journal"; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") also speculated on the Syrian problem.
He writes: "There are no good ways to solve problems in Syria," - from this truism, endlessly repeated by people who consider themselves to be clever, the following false conclusion follows: the United States should stay away from Syria as far as it is possible for a superpower. "
“If he (Bashar Asad) dumps sarin on his people, what does this have to do with us,” he reports the words of an anonymous adviser to Obama told the newspaper The New York Times.
Stevens writes with expression: “But in no way does foreign policy offer a simple choice between the options of“ good ”,“ bad ”and“ not our problem ”. In the real world, and especially in Syria, a menu is usually offered consisting of “bad”, “possibly worse” and sometimes “unequivocally bad, but probably necessary”. Choose, Mr. President! ”
So what should the Obama administration do? The author of the article makes several direct suggestions:
1) destroy the runways of Syrian air bases, including at the international airport in Damascus;
2) use the forces of the Navy to establish a no-fly zone over Western Syria, including Aleppo - the largest and most fortified city;
3) The United States must supply the Free Syrian Army with heavy weapons, including armored personnel carriers and light tanks.
These are the most effective ways that will, as the American believes, turn the tide.
At the same time, Washington is obliged to provide Jordan "without talking" with money, because there remained the last moderate Arab regime that must be preserved.
Also, the United States must be prepared to seize and destroy a stockpile of chemical weapons in Syria, even if this means the temporary introduction of troops there.

Sino-Indian warming
May 5 India and China simultaneously withdrawn their troops from the disputed territory in the Himalayas, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to Reuters. The decision on the withdrawal of troops, a source in the Indian Army told the agency, was made at a meeting of commanders of border detachments.
Indian military personnel moved a kilometer inland from the position they occupied from 16 April. The Chinese military also left the position they occupied from April 15, but how far they have moved away from the conventional line of the border is not yet known. The Indian side had previously stated that the Chinese military had deepened into its territory by 19 kilometers.
As Lenta recalled, on April 15 India announced that around 30 Chinese soldiers had set up camp in the highland region of Ladakh (northeast of Jammu and Kashmir). 16 numbers camp a hundred meters from the Chinese Indian soldiers broke.
Ladakh is actually divided between India and China, but there is no clear border line. India claimed that the Chinese military invaded its territory, China, in turn, declared that its military did not formally cross the border.
The incident in the area caused a wide resonance in Indian society, allowing the opposition to draw parallels with the Indo-Chinese war 1962 that began with the border conflict, in which China won.

About demons and their devil
How is the channel "RT", a sharp statement by the president of Venezuela was made in response to the refusal of the head of the United States to recognize the legality of Maduro’s election as head of state.
“After his visit to Latin America, Obama began to declare bold and arrogant things to the right and left ... He gives instructions and blesses right fascists to attack democracy in Venezuela,” comrade Maduro said. “But we are here, we are protecting our institutions, peace, democracy and the people of Venezuela ... and we are ready to fight everyone, even the leader of demons Obama.”
It clarifies the "RT", this statement Nicolas Maduro recalls the words of Hugo Chávez in the address of former US President George W. Bush. The late leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, among other insults, called the US President the devil.
Maduro's dramatic statement came after Obama visited Costa Rica last week and met with the heads of Latin American states. During the visit, the American president said: "I think, in general, we believe that only the people of Venezuela should choose their leader in legitimate elections."

Judging by the results of a poll published last week by the University of Fairleigh Dickenson, three out of ten registered American voters believe that in the next few years there will be a need for an armed rebellion, reports Mixednews.ru with reference to tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com.
Among other things, the results of the study showed that 29% of Americans agree with the statement: "In the next few years, an armed revolution may be necessary to protect our rights and freedoms." Another 5% found it difficult to answer.
The poll, which ran from 22 to 28 in April, was conducted among 863 randomly selected registered voters across the country.

Hollande's same-sex win
Corr. RIA "News" Daniel Nizamutdinov spoke about the situation in which French President Francois Hollande celebrates the first anniversary of election victory. Its holiday components: a record low rating of the head of state, deceived expectations of voters, scandals in the government, a split in society because of the law on same-sex marriage.
Hollande came to power under the slogan “Change now”, but a year later, citizens who were really expecting a change were disappointed in their elect: according to polls, 74 is dissatisfied with them,% of respondents is an absolute record in the modern history of the country.
According to two of the four newest polls, if the elections were held today, Hollande would have flown out in the first round, losing not only to Sarkozy, but also to Marine Le Pen. In the third survey, Hollande and Le Pen finished with one result.
Before the election, Hollande promised that in 2013, France would fulfill its obligations to the EU and reduce the budget deficit to a 3% bar. Yes, that's just according to the latest forecasts of the European Commission, the French budget deficit in 2013 will reach 3,9% in the year, in 2014 - 4,2%. In 2013, France may face a recession: the country's economy will shrink by 0,1%. The level of public debt will also increase - up to 94,0% of GDP in 2013 and up to 96,2% of GDP in 2014.
Hollande’s next promise is to reverse the unemployment curve by the end of 2013. But here everything is awry. In the spring, the number of unemployed in France reached a historic high of 3,2 million people. According to experts of the European Commission, by the end of the year this figure will stabilize for a short time, making 10,6% of the working-age population, but in the 2014 year it will grow again - up to 10,9%.
Success Hollande achieved only ... in the adoption of the law on same-sex marriage.
However, the adoption of this law has split the society. People who are not ready to put up with the fact that homosexuals will have the right to adopt children, and other opponents of the law "marriage for all" bring thousands of protesters to the streets.

Did the president grow old? Execute him!
As transmits "Lenta.ru" with reference to Central Asian News, Kazakhstan offered to officially limit the life of the head of state. It is not joke. This proposal was made by the Union of Muslims of Kazakhstan and the Muslim Committee on Human Rights in Central Asia.
The authors of the idea believe that the country should be managed by a person not older than 80 years. The corresponding restriction should be prescribed in the Constitution, specifying at the same time that the violators are waiting for ... the death penalty.
A press release distributed by these organizations states:
Of course, we add on our own, very few people express such a desire.
The authors of the harsh initiative do not plan to apply it to the current president of Kazakhstan. They propose to extend the rule about executions to the following leaders of the republic.
"Lenta" notes that the Union of Muslims of Kazakhstan and previously performed with original initiatives. For example, in 2011, when the leader of the QMS, Murat Telibekov, tried to run for president of Kazakhstan, the organization appealed to the CEC to allow candidates to contribute material values as an electoral pledge. These include: cattle, land plots, chicken legs, sheep skins, anasha, slaves, prostitutes and saxaul.

In Kazakhstan, bribes are often paid by rams: "... sheep in a stall, a refrigerator to a house ...", especially in 90. When he served, he saw: the zampotek of the division on the highway was caught up by the officers of the subordinate unit (he returned after checking this part) and right on the track they unloaded the ram from their car into the zampotech machine, despite his polite protests.
About slaves and prostitutes and anasha is generally a scream.
