Caspian thundered drills
Naval forces and coastal forces of the Caspian flotilla raised by alarm on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Southern Military District (Southeast Military District) told reporters.
"Today, the naval forces and coastal troops of the Caspian Flotilla, based in the Republic of Dagestan, were raised on alert," said a representative of the Southern Military District.
According to him, a sudden check of the combat readiness of ships and subunits was carried out under the direction of the commander of the Caspian flotilla, Vice Admiral Sergei Alyokminsky.
The representative of the district noted that when receiving the command to transfer to the highest levels of combat readiness, the coastal troops as part of the marine battalion and the missile division "Ball" made a march to the areas of missions.
New teachings. Regular. By definition, this cannot fail to please, if only because in recent years the Caspian has become a zone of strategic interests of several states at once. Until now, there is no clear agreement on maritime borders between these states that have access to the Caspian Sea. And the Russian maneuvers in this situation once again demonstrate to all those who are ready to write off Russia from the accounts that such write-off has been written on the Caspian water.

Lukashenko urges armies to be friends
The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, meeting with the Ministers of Defense of the CIS countries on Wednesday in Minsk, stated the need for closer military integration within the CIS.
“Not only Belarus, but also other heads of state would like deeper cooperation in the military-political sphere within the CIS,” Lukashenka said. He stressed that it is necessary to translate the decisions taken on a practical plane. “Someone would like or don’t want to, but life forces us to cooperate more closely. Someone wouldn’t really like such tight embraces as in the CSTO, but the world is pushing for close military cooperation,” the president said.
Belarusian But father of course is right. Many people understand the need to build a common shield in the CIS, but only a few can afford to speak positively about this. Well, perhaps, for example, the current Moldovan authorities have the opportunity to openly declare that integration in the CIS in general and military integration from common threats, in particular, is not bad for the Commonwealth. But as soon as Chisinau makes such speeches, it will immediately incur the wrath of its main sponsor from the EU, Romania. And there, to any military integration in the CIS, they react, to put it mildly, painfully. Well, or Viktor Fedorovich (the one that Yanukovych) suddenly takes and declares that the words of Alexander Grigorievich (that Lukashenko) fully supports. Aha Keep your pocket! But what about the partners from NATO? After all, they, so to speak, are watching ... Now, if further disintegration would be a balm for the soul for them ...

Democracy vector in Yekaterinburg
The next duty Russia-EU summit ended a few days ago. This time Yekaterinburg was chosen as the venue for it, namely, the venue - this, it seems, very little that similar summits of recent years distinguish from each other. You can not even be a special specialist in the field of geopolitics to predict what issues are raised at such a summit. The fact is that these issues manifest themselves year after year. To paraphrase one well-known expression in relation to the role of the summit, we can say something like this: wake me up through the end of fifteen years, and I will say that the Russia-EU summit discusses the topics of gay, energy and the abolition of the visa regime ...
So, in Yekaterinburg, within the framework of the 31-th Russia-EU summit, in which the main actors besides Russian President Vladimir Putin were Mr. Van Rompuy (head of the European Council) and Mr. Barroso (head of the European Commission), the questions were not new.
If we conduct one-on-one dialogues with Europeans, it seems to be quite sensible people: they discuss ways to solve problems, even go to sign effective documents and agreements with Russia. But as soon as this gop company gets together, then do not wait for good - this is an axiom. The first thing you need to curry favor with each other, but still do not forget about the Big Overseas Brother (BOSaBre). BoZaBr monitors van Rompuy, and Ashton, and other carriers of democracy, walking the world. And as soon as these carriers arrive in Russia, his attention will multiply. That is why all the problems of the summit, which really need to be solved here and now, have dissolved in gay issues and other husks, which act as a clear barrier to productive dialogue, if such is possible today.

Age limit
Colonel-General Viktor Goremykin, head of the Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, said on Saturday that the age limit for serving as officers of the Ministry of Defense will increase by five years. “In the near future, a law prepared by us will appear on the Internet. This is a federal law. We have prepared amendments to article 49-53 of federal law in terms of increasing the age limit for military service. We add five years to each category, ”he said.
Goremykin recalled that now the age limit before the lieutenant colonel is inclusive - 45 years, for the colonel and captain of the 1 rank - 50, major general, lieutenant general - 55 and colonel general, army general - 60 years.
According to the general, this amendment has now been approved not only by the Ministry of Defense, but also by almost all executive state bodies.
And the hands of the young promising officers dropped after such a message ... After all, someone already looked askance at the brigade commander, who until a retirement remained a year or two, his place became vacant. Now, to take this almost already vacant place, you will have to wait at least another five years. Why: at least? But you never know what else in this time at the legislative level will come up. They will take, and they will increase the age of serving in the service up to a number identical, for example, to the weight of generals: indeed, the number of 100s is not always the limit here ... But how happy were many officers from among those same lieutenant colonels, for example, to the apartment promised by the state after another five years ! Well, or another five years before the alternative (or non-alternative) apartment of monetary compensation ...

Technological backwardness
Unmanned aerial vehicles, ground-based robotized complexes and autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles of the Russian design are inferior in their tactical and technical characteristics to foreign analogues. About this, as reported by RIA News, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. At the same time, he noted that similar equipment has already been successfully used by other security ministries and departments.
With the military robots, to be honest, we overslept. Today, in terms of the saturation of the military-technical cluster with robotic equipment, Russia lags far behind many countries of the world: the United States and Israel, including. Only in 2011 did a somewhat intelligible campaign for the development of military robotic systems begin, and this program is designed until 2020. Will it get better in 2020? But who knows ... It is extremely problematic to think of something in advance in such a matter. Although you can guess, but what's the point? Many programs turned into fiction even under more favorable conditions. We can only hope that they will push it, and if they don’t push it, then buy us imported unmanned ferrous metal in the future, comforting ourselves with the hope that the “partners” have sold us high-quality equipment.

Pro army
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense refused the call, citing the fact that, starting from 2014, the Ukrainian army will move to a contract basis. The last call will be held this fall.
We note that previously, information was repeatedly circulated in a number of media outlets that the transition of the Ukrainian army to a contractual basis would be postponed until the 2017 year. However, the other day, representatives of the defense department officially denied such rumors. According to the press service of the Ministry, the last recruits will go to serve this fall and will be demobilized already in 2014. The very next year, the defense of the Motherland will cease to be the responsibility of every Ukrainian youth who has reached the age of majority.
The statements of the Ukrainian leadership on the transition of the army to a contract basis is an obvious curtsy to the West. This is the link of the democratic chain: transition to a contract, words about readiness to join the EU and NATO, same-sex marriages. And each state that asserts the choice of a democratic path has its own version. Somewhere blue is crowned, somewhere they stand against the background of the European Union flag, and somewhere they crush the army with their own hands.
It would be desirable to hope that the words about the refusal of Ukraine from the draft are the usual political idle talk, which has nothing to do with objective reality. If such a decision is translated into reality, the phrase “the fighting capacity of the Ukrainian army” may become an obvious oxymoron.

Presidential divorce
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he and Lyudmila Putin jointly made the decision to divorce.
Vladimir Putin explained the divorce with the fact that not everyone is ready for a high degree of publicity, which implies the role of the status of the spouse of a politician of this level.
“All my activities, all my work is connected with the public sphere, with absolute publicity. Someone likes it, some don’t, but there are people who are completely incompatible with this,” Putin said.
"Lyudmila Aleksandrovna defended the watch, 8 years, already nine" - he said.
The president said that he and his wife Lyudmila would remain close friends forever after the divorce. In turn, Lyudmila Putina said: "We all have very good relations, and I am very grateful that he still supports me and the children. He takes great care of the children, and the children always feel it."
“Lyudmila Alexandrovna said about children. We love them very much, we are proud of them. They have really grown up, they have their own lives. By the way, they got education in Russia and live in Russia,” he said. the president.
“Our marriage is completed due to the fact that we practically do not see each other. Vladimir Vladimirovich is completely immersed in work, our children have grown up, each has his own life,” explained Lyudmila Putin.
“In general, it so happened that everyone has their own lives,” she said.

Good As It Gets
What needs to be done to prove "success" and boast a "prosperity" in the postmodern world? That's right: rely on any rating. Even better - by several ratings.
Anna Koroleva ("Expert") cites data that in May, the US consumer confidence index in 2013 rose to a five-year high - 76,2. This was recently announced by the Conference Board organization (which, in fact, the indicator calculates).
The new indicator turned out to be even better than the forecast of economists surveyed by MarketWatch (they expected the index to grow to the 72,3 point).
The increased confidence index should tell the American and global community that consumers in the United States are more optimistic about the state of the economy over the next six months.
There is also another index - expectations. He jumped to the highest level in seven months - from the 74,3 point in April to the 82,4 point in May.
The assessment of the current economic situation also improved: its index rose to 66,7 (compared to 61,0 a month earlier).
As Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators for the Conference Board, points out, “consumers are much more optimistic about the future economic situation and employment prospects. The data show that consumer confidence is on the mend and may recover after a fall due to a financial cliff, lower wages and tax increases associated with budget sequestration. ”
In short, people believe that they will live better and better. And once such a thing, rating writers give them more and more new indices. Obama will probably enter history as the most index president.
The Case-Shiller index, which reflects the value of real estate in the twenty largest cities in the United States, turned out to be higher than expected: in March it grew by 1,4% compared to February, and increased by 10,9% in annual comparison, which represents the best result since April 2006 of the year.
Not economics, but sheer euphoria. Holiday some. Fairy tale. The American dream is coming true.
The rating agency Moody's did not wish to lag behind the offices either smaller. His experts sat at the calculators, fiddled with Excel, and raised the outlook on the US banking system from negative to stable. Arguments? Analysts vaguely reported a steady improvement in the economic situation in the United States and a decrease in the risk of bank losses. Low, they say, interest rates support employment growth in the country, and those who are busy go to banks for loans, which is quite good.
Experts were silent about the fact that those who are not busy are sitting on benefits or starving, and are in no hurry to go to the banks.
Voice of America News Service reported earlier that the Pentagon will have to send in forced unpaid leave for 11 days most of 800 thousands of civilian employees - because of the sequestration. (That is, we note, to take loans from banks and stimulate the American economy, these guys and girls, the future of which is now in question, are unlikely to become. I would like to know what they think about the "trust index" and other indices).
The decision on unpaid leave may encourage many potential employees to abandon the idea of working in the defense department and instead find work in the private sector.
Probably there they will believe in the infallibility of the indices.

Hero? Traitor? Two in one?
On June 3, Private First Class Bradley Manning, the WikiLeaks main informant, appeared before a military court in Maryland. According to the prosecution, in 2009-2010. Manning provided thousands of copies of diplomatic dispatches and 250 with thousands of military reports on the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq to the named site 500. "BBC" recalls that he pleaded guilty to the 10 of the 22 counts. Meanwhile, the private still rejects the most terrible point called "Aiding the enemy." Pacifists and supporters of Manning and WikiLeaks believe that the soldier is being punished for freedom of speech: after all, he exposed the crimes of the American military. The White House believes that he betrayed the interests of the state. Both are absolutely true.
There are two main versions of what prompted Manning to publish classified material.
According to the RIA News" With reference to CNN, Manning’s lawyer, David Coombs, said that his client wanted to fight in Iraq, but his views on the war changed one incident: a car full of peaceful Iraqi citizens exploded on a land mine, giving way to a convoy of US military. After this explosion, he began to collect classified information, believing that it would be better if it became public.
Anna Malrayn ("Christian Science Monitor") приводит another version of the "push" to transfer sensitive data.
A shift in Manning’s mind occurred during a mission to Iraq in 2010. In those days he served as an intelligence analyst. An ordinary first-class soldier watched a video stored in a US military database and saw two pilots shoot civilians. Among them were children and two reporters from Reuters.
In February, 2013, at the pre-trial meeting, Manning read out his own statement, in which he noted that he was most worried about the loss of innocent civilians. He was shocked by the jokes exchanged by American military pilots ...

How Erdogan met the Turkish people
In Turkey, everything is mixed up, as in the Oblonskys' house. Mass democratic protests in the country against the autocrat Erdogan led to the fact that the latter declared that the rioters de "undermine democratic foundations." Even the White House could not resist and reminded the presumptuous Turkish government that “peaceful demonstrations are part of the democratic expression of the will”.
Mass demonstrations began with an ecological inconsistency: R.T. Erdogan decided to destroy the green oasis - Gezi Park in the center of Istanbul. Tree uprooting was called demagogic "reconstruction." How, citizens against the new construction? .. And the police used water cannons and tear gas against the protesters - peaceful weapon this very, like her, democracy.
“Gezi Park is only a small part of the disgraces that Erdogan’s government creates. Erdogan is a dictator, we demand that he resign ... "- said participant in the night protests in Ankara named Seville.
3 Jun. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton expressed "deep concern" about the violence in the cities of Turkey, as well as regret about the "inappropriate use of force" by the country's police. This is stated in the official report of Ashton, transmits RBC. She expressed hope “for the speedy recovery of all injured” and called for restraint of the conflicting parties and an end to violence.
On the same day, it became known that protests against the construction of a shopping center on the site of the park were expressed by world famous trade brands. Representatives of many companies said they would not ship their products to the mall, if built, they report "Vesti". And what about Erdogan? He said that the reconstruction of the area is carried out in order to facilitate traffic. He is not going to give up construction plans.

Healing by science
Simon de Brussels («The Times»; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") writes that science "will ever be able to heal the Islamic radicals."
The article says: "Islamic fundamentalism someday, perhaps, will be perceived just as it is now - a mental illness, and will become" treatable. "
One of the world's leading neuroscientists, Kathleen Taylor, author of scientific publications and a researcher from Oxford, said that strong negative beliefs can be eradicated using a technique that is under development, says Simon de Brussels.
The achievements of modern neuroscience mean that we can not only control our minds and control our dreams, but also prevent the formation of strong beliefs.
The author cites Taylor: “If someone’s views, for example, became radical under the influence of the ideology of a cult, we can stop seeing this as a personal choice made solely by the will of the person, and begin to treat it as a kind of mental disorder.”
The only question is, add on our own who will determine the correctness of personal choice and make diagnoses of "mental disorder." Such scientific methods have always coexisted with the manic passions of their apologists.

The soft version of the "Iron Curtain"
Last month Islamists, remembering Allah, killed 25-year-old military man Lee Rigby, a machine gunner and a drummer, in London. In the same May, 25, patrol Cedric Cordier, in the Paris business district of La Defense, tried to cut his throat, attacking from behind. A typical terrorist migrant attacked the Frenchman: a bearded man in a leather jacket. At the same time, in the city council of Radstock (a town in the county of Somerset), the authorities banned the use of the St. George flag on their territory: they decided that a flag with a cross could offend the feelings of Muslim residents of the city. Muslims live there sixteen people. You can also mention the pogroms in Sweden (Husby district in Stockholm), in which the "comers" also actively participated. Against the background of all this madness, the latest attempt of the European Union states to return visas, borders and barriers to them looks quite rational.
As recently passed the portal "New Kaliningrad" With reference to Оnet.pl, the heads of foreign ministries of EU countries were in favor of the resumption of border controls at the borders of the Schengen countries. They believe that the influx of illegal migrants threatens the security of citizens of the Schengen countries.
In the coming days, the EU interior ministers are likely to officially confirm the need for border control reform in the Schengen zone. Actually, the top heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were the initiators of the reform. The reason for the upcoming border reforms was the fact that many states signaled: they feel insecure because of thousands of illegal immigrants.
To understand what kind of practice awaits the countries of Europe when applying the amendments, one should refer to the figures. Where do you get them from? From the western press.
Edition "Die Presse" writes that the number of illegal border crossings in the Schengen zone last year was halved. To some extent, this indicator can serve as a “test” of the Commission’s report on free movement within the EU, which was presented in Brussels. From October to December 2012, there were a total of 13.613 illegal intersections, or 52 percent, from the same period last year.
A particularly sharp drop in illegal intersections since August last year was recorded in Greece - thanks to strict control on the land border with Turkey (30 percent, or 4035 people). A good indicator of the decline and Italy - 31 percentage (4231 people). 59 percent is an indicator of the reduction of illegal border crossing at sea borders.
Currently, the Schengen zone includes 26 states and more than 400 millions of citizens. The emergency action of the new amendments will be six months, but it can be extended up to two years.
Judging by the Schengen innovations being promoted, let us add, the countries of Western Europe are going to completely block the channels of illegal migration, which have already narrowed significantly in 2012 year. At the same time, it should be noted that the EU leadership and the authorities in each country intend to be cautious about applying the amendments. Illegals are illegal, crime is criminal, Islamism is Islamism, and EU budgets should not lose money. Therefore, those analysts who argue with a cool head are right. Europe will not shut up tight.
Is the same "Die Presse" in another material quotes the Minister of Internal Affairs of Austria Johanna Mickle-Lightner. She welcomes the reform of the EU Schengen Agreement and says: “We can be very pleased with this package, because all our basic requirements have been taken into account”. But he adds clearly: “Now there is no reason to introduce strengthening of border control.” Mickle Lightner also notes that social tourism may suffer, as has already been noted in Germany.

"Beats on a muzzle, means, has the right to beat"
In the article "Russia in the form of a quilt" (Nowa Europa Wschodnia, Poland; source of translation - "InoSMI") Tomasz Horbowski talks about the collection of reports written by the long-term Gazeta Wyborcza reporter in Moscow, Vatslav Radzivinovich - “Gogol in the Google era”.
The texts with which the book is filled, in due time (1998-2012 years) were written for the newspaper and are sketches from Russian life. Russia, which Radzivinovich portrays, is often frightening. The principle on which this country functions, as Leo Tolstoy formulated, is unchanged: "It hits the face, which means it has the right to beat." The author tells of a terrible, unprincipled country, where the police robbing, rape and kidnap people with impunity, where the Moscow authorities get rid of immigrants, where mothers search for their dead for their homeland sons killed in dead cars. This is the Russia of the Chechen war, the authoritarian rule of Putin, Beslan, the Dubrovka Theater, the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the war with Georgia and the tragedy of the Kursk submarine, the journalist writes.
Radzivinovich reveals the absurdity and mimicry of Russian reality. He describes how once the authorities of Samara, before visiting the city of Putin, brought deficient buckwheat to the city and ordered the shops to lower prices for it - or to close. And once Vladimir Putin decided to ride a Lada, and his associates prepared a spare car that was being driven behind him, in case the trouble-free product of the Russian car industry had broken down.
In a curious report, the author of the collection tells about a pamphlet written by the Kremlin bureaucrats (secret). It explains how to look like a Russian official and how to ensure his longevity. “One should be slim, sober and tidy,” Radzivinovich quotes the council. Anyone who adheres to all these rules will be able to live to 150 years. So promises the Kremlin.
Among other things, the book talks a lot about women carrying the country on their shoulders, the main problem of which is drinking men who are notoriously self-sufficient. The man who is now at the helm of the state, also received an impartial characteristic. Quote:

Syrian "opposition" has put forward an ultimatum to Russia
The SSA command demanded that the Russian Federation stop interfering with international interference in the Syrian conflict, the newspaper writes "Work".
"Oppositionists" wrote a letter to the UN Security Council. The message put forward an ultimatum to Russia. “On behalf of the citizens of El-Qusayr, the Supreme Military Council demands that Russia abandon its obstacles to international intervention,” said a statement signed by the head of the Supreme Military Council of the Syrian Free Army, Salim Idris. “We ask the Security Council to take tough actions against this aggression,” the document says. “We demand that international pressure be extended to the Lebanese government to take measures to withdraw Hezbollah’s Syrian territory (movement fighters), otherwise we will be forced to turn our fight against the Assad criminal regime into an extended cross-border conflict.”
The reason for the ultimatum was the blockade by Russia of 1 June of the UN Security Council statement in connection with the events in El Quseir, where government forces attacked the militants.

“Thank you, Lord, for the Russians”
Material by famous journalist Finian Cunningham leads resource mycatbirdseat.com (translation source - Mixednews.ru).
America-led dismemberment by the NATO bloc of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Somalia and Iraq in the 1990's are highlighted. But these episodes are only a bloody prelude ... The wars in Afghanistan and again in Iraq, started respectively in 2001 and 2003, led to the death of up to two million people. More people were injured, maimed, poisoned or lost shelter. The total financial bill for these two wars alone is 6 trillions of dollars - more than a third of the US government debt. Moreover, this debt, according to Cunningham, turned out to be one of the reasons for the immersion of the rest of the world "into a deadly economic abyss."
In 2011, there was a NATO intervention in Libya. It was intended, as stated, to “protect human lives” from the “oppressive regime of Gaddafi”. And what? The rescue operation turned into air support from the US Air Force of Islamist militants who had connections with the Afghan Mujahideen and Al-Qaeda.
Cunningham called the war in Syria the “highlight of the program” of American imperialism: there a sovereign government opposes more than two years of aggression.
The geopolitics of Washington in recent years has changed from a "war with terrorists" to a "war for terrorists." America is now on the side of mercenaries, thugs and rapists.
What does the United States need from all the countries they are attacking? Cunningham has the answer to this question:
Today, both ordinary Americans and Europeans are beginning to see clearly and realize that their true enemies, both inside and outside the country, are wealthy oligarchs.
C-300 will ensure that US warships and fighters of both NATO and Israel are likely to abandon the criminal attack on Syria. Most ordinary people know that the intervention of the Russians in Syria is a chance to "interrupt the bloody march of the West over the land of this country and the world as a whole."

Naval forces and coastal forces of the Caspian flotilla raised by alarm on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Southern Military District (Southeast Military District) told reporters.
"Today, the naval forces and coastal troops of the Caspian Flotilla, based in the Republic of Dagestan, were raised on alert," said a representative of the Southern Military District.

Until now, there is no clear agreement on maritime borders between these states that have access to the Caspian Sea.

Lukashenko urges armies to be friends
The President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko, meeting with the Ministers of Defense of the CIS countries on Wednesday in Minsk, stated the need for closer military integration within the CIS.
“Not only Belarus, but also other heads of state would like deeper cooperation in the military-political sphere within the CIS,” Lukashenka said. He stressed that it is necessary to translate the decisions taken on a practical plane. “Someone would like or don’t want to, but life forces us to cooperate more closely. Someone wouldn’t really like such tight embraces as in the CSTO, but the world is pushing for close military cooperation,” the president said.
Belarusian But father of course is right. Many people understand the need to build a common shield in the CIS, but only a few can afford to speak positively about this. Well, perhaps, for example, the current Moldovan authorities have the opportunity to openly declare that integration in the CIS in general and military integration from common threats, in particular, is not bad for the Commonwealth. But as soon as Chisinau makes such speeches, it will immediately incur the wrath of its main sponsor from the EU, Romania. And there, to any military integration in the CIS, they react, to put it mildly, painfully. Well, or Viktor Fedorovich (the one that Yanukovych) suddenly takes and declares that the words of Alexander Grigorievich (that Lukashenko) fully supports. Aha Keep your pocket!

Another blah blah. What is the military integration between Azerbaijan and Armenia, between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan? Turkmen are generally neutral. The CIS is a dead organization only so that everyone can get together at the same time, and then always someone is not counted.

It is difficult to argue against the statement of Lukashenko - the need for cooperation is obvious. Another thing is that some members of the CIS are building their policies, focusing on the West, the United States.

The first thing you need to curry favor with each other, but still do not forget about the Big Overseas Brother (BOSaBre). BoZaBr monitors van Rompuy, and Ashton, and other carriers of democracy, walking the world. And as soon as these carriers arrive in Russia, his attention will multiply. That is why all the problems of the summit, which really need to be solved here and now, have dissolved in gay issues and other husks, which act as a clear barrier to productive dialogue, if such is possible today.

Nooo. You can not stop the summits. I myself am from Yekaterinburg. At least two roads repaired. And at a pace that I have not seen for a long time. For 2 nights, a couple of kilometers was laid. Summits to be!

Just a circus for starving unemployed Europeans, a mind to take responsibility for economic reform and social sphere is not enough, my uncle hay deeply care.

Age limit
Colonel-General Viktor Goremykin, head of the Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia, said on Saturday that the age limit for serving as officers of the Ministry of Defense will increase by five years. “In the near future, a law prepared by us will appear on the Internet. This is a federal law. We have prepared amendments to article 49-53 of federal law in terms of increasing the age limit for military service. We add five years to each category, ”he said.
Goremykin recalled that now the age limit before the lieutenant colonel is inclusive - 45 years, for the colonel and captain of the 1 rank - 50, major general, lieutenant general - 55 and colonel general, army general - 60 years.
According to the general, this amendment has now been approved not only by the Ministry of Defense, but also by almost all executive state bodies.
And the hands of the young promising officers dropped after such a message ... After all, someone already looked askance at the brigade commander, who until a retirement remained a year or two, his place became vacant. Now, to take this almost already vacant place, you will have to wait at least another five years. Why: at least? But you never know what else in this time at the legislative level will come up. They will take, and they will increase the age of serving in the service up to a number identical, for example, to the weight of generals: indeed, the number of 100s is not always the limit here ... But how happy were many officers from among those same lieutenant colonels, for example, to the apartment promised by the state after another five years ! Well, or another five years before the alternative (or non-alternative) apartment of monetary compensation ...

Technological backwardness
Unmanned aerial vehicles, ground-based robotized complexes and autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles of the Russian design are inferior in their tactical and technical characteristics to foreign analogues. About this, as reported by RIA News, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. At the same time, he noted that similar equipment has already been successfully used by other security ministries and departments.
With the military robots, to be honest, we overslept. Today, in terms of the saturation of the military-technical cluster with robotic equipment, Russia lags far behind many countries of the world: the United States and Israel, including. Only in 2011 did a somewhat intelligible campaign for the development of military robotic systems begin, and this program is designed until 2020. Will it get better in 2020? But who knows ... It is extremely problematic to think of something in advance in such a matter. Although you can guess, but what's the point? Many programs turned into fiction even under more favorable conditions. We can only hope that they will push it, and if they don’t push it, then buy us imported unmanned ferrous metal in the future, comforting ourselves with the hope that the “partners” have sold us high-quality equipment.

We need to start developing our own UAVs and other robotic vehicles, even if for some time they will be lagging behind their foreign counterparts. Otherwise, we will lag behind.

In order to create robots in Russia ... For a start, you need to clean the entire administrative apparatus from the shobla, which has accumulated there over the year of 23.
Pro army
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense refused the call, citing the fact that, starting from 2014, the Ukrainian army will move to a contract basis. The last call will be held this fall.
We note that previously, information was repeatedly circulated in a number of media outlets that the transition of the Ukrainian army to a contractual basis would be postponed until the 2017 year. However, the other day, representatives of the defense department officially denied such rumors. According to the press service of the Ministry, the last recruits will go to serve this fall and will be demobilized already in 2014. The very next year, the defense of the Motherland will cease to be the responsibility of every Ukrainian youth who has reached the age of majority.
The statements of the Ukrainian leadership on the transition of the army to a contract basis is an obvious curtsy to the West. This is the link of the democratic chain: transition to a contract, words about readiness to join the EU and NATO, same-sex marriages. And each state that asserts the choice of a democratic path has its own version. Somewhere blue is crowned, somewhere they stand against the background of the European Union flag, and somewhere they crush the army with their own hands.
It would be desirable to hope that the words about the refusal of Ukraine from the draft are the usual political idle talk, which has nothing to do with objective reality. If such a decision is translated into reality, the phrase “the fighting capacity of the Ukrainian army” may become an obvious oxymoron.

_Forgiven_:
To be honest, I generally doubt that such a reform of the army will occur. They are marking time and that's it. To accomplish all this, you need dofig money, but they are not in the treasury - they are already on the offshore of our politicians on the islands. And in general, with each new reform in our country there are several millionaires more. Interestingly, will they ever eat enough? Maybe it's time to let ordinary people live?

Landing and development on the ground went according to plan, after which the agent successfully infiltrated the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. So, Anatoly Serdyukov found a new job.
Presidential divorce
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he and Lyudmila Putin jointly made the decision to divorce.
Vladimir Putin explained the divorce with the fact that not everyone is ready for a high degree of publicity, which implies the role of the status of the spouse of a politician of this level.
“All my activities, all my work is connected with the public sphere, with absolute publicity. Someone likes it, some don’t, but there are people who are completely incompatible with this,” Putin said.
"Lyudmila Aleksandrovna defended the watch, 8 years, already nine" - he said.
The president said that he and his wife Lyudmila would remain close friends forever after the divorce. In turn, Lyudmila Putina said: "We all have very good relations, and I am very grateful that he still supports me and the children. He takes great care of the children, and the children always feel it."
“Lyudmila Alexandrovna said about children. We love them very much, we are proud of them. They have really grown up, they have their own lives. By the way, they got education in Russia and live in Russia,” he said. the president.
“Our marriage is completed due to the fact that we practically do not see each other. Vladimir Vladimirovich is completely immersed in work, our children have grown up, each has his own life,” explained Lyudmila Putin.
“In general, it so happened that everyone has their own lives,” she said.

Finally, the main news was written at least a quarter, but why is it dry, officially, without an opinion / attitude? Well, let me tell you what 4 is already seething for an hour.
If you look at the video, Pu constantly left his wife. For Alina and the heir? In this, God is the judge, but otherwise - IMHO the people who nominated him.
The president is the face of the state and an example for the nation. Wonderful example? On the one hand, the state of the type encourages the institution of marriage, etc., and on the other, it itself spits on it. My children remember Clinton and Monica, and ask - and why ...?, And how can a person without moral principles be the face of a people? - but I don’t know what to say to them: (The President is a person who has a personal life, he climbed up - forget it, there must always be an example and not the feudal lord, I want to do that.
Say, and what have this military site? - Duck with the moral and upbringing of children, and only then youth, begins the patriot of the Motherland and then its protector. I think that in this way we generally have gone the wrong way: (

An unprecedented case, when the president openly and publicly declares a divorce from his spouse. Truth Peskov made a reservation that he had not yet documented the document. In essence, this does not change anything, the statement is made and it means that the divorce is not far off. .
1.President is such a person and citizen like us all, he has the same rights and duties as every mortal.
2. We already need to get used to this kind of news.
3.V.V.Putin sacrificed the interests of the family in the name of the state.
4. Agree to live together 30 for years and this is not a short time and after that get a divorce ............ yes, it requires truly courage, yes, yes. I did not make a reservation of honor, both from Vladimir Vladimirovich and Lyudmila Putin.
5.When Vladimir Putin, during his inauguration, said that he would devote himself to work for the good of the state, I didn’t doubt at all. This fact simply convinced me once again about this. It remained just a little, to devote myself to the good of the people.

Good As It Gets
What needs to be done to prove "success" and boast a "prosperity" in the postmodern world? That's right: rely on any rating. Even better - by several ratings.
Anna Koroleva ("Expert") cites data that in May, the US consumer confidence index in 2013 rose to a five-year high - 76,2. This was recently announced by the Conference Board organization (which, in fact, the indicator calculates).
The new indicator turned out to be even better than the forecast of economists surveyed by MarketWatch (they expected the index to grow to the 72,3 point).
The increased confidence index should tell the American and global community that consumers in the United States are more optimistic about the state of the economy over the next six months.
There is also another index - expectations. He jumped to the highest level in seven months - from the 74,3 point in April to the 82,4 point in May.
The assessment of the current economic situation also improved: its index rose to 66,7 (compared to 61,0 a month earlier).
As Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators for the Conference Board, points out, “consumers are much more optimistic about the future economic situation and employment prospects. The data show that consumer confidence is on the mend and may recover after a fall due to a financial cliff, lower wages and tax increases associated with budget sequestration. ”
In short, people believe that they will live better and better. And once such a thing, rating writers give them more and more new indices. Obama will probably enter history as the most index president.
The Case-Shiller index, which reflects the value of real estate in the twenty largest cities in the United States, turned out to be higher than expected: in March it grew by 1,4% compared to February, and increased by 10,9% in annual comparison, which represents the best result since April 2006 of the year.
Not economics, but sheer euphoria. Holiday some. Fairy tale. The American dream is coming true.
The rating agency Moody's did not wish to lag behind the offices either smaller. His experts sat at the calculators, fiddled with Excel, and raised the outlook on the US banking system from negative to stable. Arguments? Analysts vaguely reported a steady improvement in the economic situation in the United States and a decrease in the risk of bank losses. Low, they say, interest rates support employment growth in the country, and those who are busy go to banks for loans, which is quite good.
Experts were silent about the fact that those who are not busy are sitting on benefits or starving, and are in no hurry to go to the banks.
Voice of America News Service reported earlier that the Pentagon will have to send in forced unpaid leave for 11 days most of 800 thousands of civilian employees - because of the sequestration. (That is, we note, to take loans from banks and stimulate the American economy, these guys and girls, the future of which is now in question, are unlikely to become. I would like to know what they think about the "trust index" and other indices).
The decision on unpaid leave may encourage many potential employees to abandon the idea of working in the defense department and instead find work in the private sector.
Probably there they will believe in the infallibility of the indices.

And I thought, we have a mess. So the right course is swimming comrades in striped swimsuits, swimming down, to the bottom. And every year everything is vertical and vertical. The main thing is that they do everything right, they do not raise panic, they have come up with different ratings. The main thing is when they will choke, it is necessary to make sure that we are not hooked, and then they will drag after themselves.
Hero? Traitor? Two in one?
On June 3, Private First Class Bradley Manning, the WikiLeaks main informant, appeared before a military court in Maryland. According to the prosecution, in 2009-2010. Manning provided thousands of copies of diplomatic dispatches and 250 with thousands of military reports on the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq to the named site 500. "BBC" recalls that he pleaded guilty to the 10 of the 22 counts. Meanwhile, the private still rejects the most terrible point called "Aiding the enemy." Pacifists and supporters of Manning and WikiLeaks believe that the soldier is being punished for freedom of speech: after all, he exposed the crimes of the American military. The White House believes that he betrayed the interests of the state. Both are absolutely true.
There are two main versions of what prompted Manning to publish classified material.
According to the RIA News" With reference to CNN, Manning’s lawyer, David Coombs, said that his client wanted to fight in Iraq, but his views on the war changed one incident: a car full of peaceful Iraqi citizens exploded on a land mine, giving way to a convoy of US military. After this explosion, he began to collect classified information, believing that it would be better if it became public.
Anna Malrayn ("Christian Science Monitor") приводит another version of the "push" to transfer sensitive data.
A shift in Manning’s mind occurred during a mission to Iraq in 2010. In those days he served as an intelligence analyst. An ordinary first-class soldier watched a video stored in a US military database and saw two pilots shoot civilians. Among them were children and two reporters from Reuters.
In February, 2013, at the pre-trial meeting, Manning read out his own statement, in which he noted that he was most worried about the loss of innocent civilians. He was shocked by the jokes exchanged by American military pilots ...

My opinion is! This Mannig is a traitor by law of any country! Since the disclosure of information constituting the state or official secrets of the state is treason.
Now let's try to make out the moral component:
1. From the point of view of us and the people, not the Americans, he is a hero who has displayed unattractive facts from the life of America. But this is from our side.
2. He is a soldier, which means he swore an oath to his country, which he betrayed! I transferred the information to the face of another state
Here, of course, you can talk whether we love the United States, but this is a different argument. If our Russian reptile would reveal similar information about us, then I think many would start writing that he deserves the death penalty.

Susan Rice will advise Obama, and the UN will send Samantha Power
Appointment of Rice and Power in an interview with the correspondent. "Voices of Russia" Eugene Prytov commented on the writer, a member of the Republican Party, Michael Lofgren and publicist William Grigg.
Michael Lofgren, in response to a question from a correspondent about whether the characteristic manner of communication Susan Rice (tough and caustic) will remain in the new post, replied:
“I have no reason to believe that this manner will change. Susan Rice is very similar in this respect to Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Madeleine Albright, and Samantha Power. I do not know if it’s a coincidence that they are all women, but for all four there is some neglect of diplomacy as a way of reaching a compromise between representatives of different countries. They bury the American tradition of acting as "moral crusaders." Instead, they lecture, articulate to representatives of other countries, as if foreign diplomats are just schoolchildren. ”
The new US ambassador to the UN will be Samantha Power, former special assistant to the president and senior director for multilateral relations and human rights at the National Security Council. Michael Lofgren said so:
“Samantha Power, as well as Susan Rice, is not the best choice for this position, since both of them are ardent supporters of the fundamental interpretation of Woodrow Wilson’s idea of humanitarian interventions. These two appointments, if they really happen, will make foreign intervention in Syria more likely, and this worries me the most. ”
William Grigg recalls that Susan Rice is considered Obama's second "I" and that she convinced Obama to get involved in the war in Libya.

How Erdogan met the Turkish people
In Turkey, everything is mixed up, as in the Oblonskys' house. Mass democratic protests in the country against the autocrat Erdogan led to the fact that the latter declared that the rioters de "undermine democratic foundations." Even the White House could not resist and reminded the presumptuous Turkish government that “peaceful demonstrations are part of the democratic expression of the will”.
Mass demonstrations began with an ecological inconsistency: R.T. Erdogan decided to destroy the green oasis - Gezi Park in the center of Istanbul. Tree uprooting was called demagogic "reconstruction." How, citizens against the new construction? .. And the police used water cannons and tear gas against the protesters - peaceful weapon this very, like her, democracy.
“Gezi Park is only a small part of the disgraces that Erdogan’s government creates. Erdogan is a dictator, we demand that he resign ... "- said participant in the night protests in Ankara named Seville.
3 Jun. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton expressed "deep concern" about the violence in the cities of Turkey, as well as regret about the "inappropriate use of force" by the country's police. This is stated in the official report of Ashton, transmits RBC. She expressed hope “for the speedy recovery of all injured” and called for restraint of the conflicting parties and an end to violence.
On the same day, it became known that protests against the construction of a shopping center on the site of the park were expressed by world famous trade brands. Representatives of many companies said they would not ship their products to the mall, if built, they report "Vesti". And what about Erdogan? He said that the reconstruction of the area is carried out in order to facilitate traffic. He is not going to give up construction plans.
Stanislav Tarasov (IA "REX") notes:
The “revolutionary plot” in Turkey develops according to the classical scenario. More recently, Erdogan, speaking at various meetings, welcomed the "Arab Spring", supported the "overthrow of dictators" in some countries, and stated that henceforth "Turkey can be an example of modern democracy in the region." Now the Turks call Erdogan a “dictator,” demanding his overthrow ... ”

Erdogan is being punished by the guys from the Fed for being soft to Syria and not wanting to start a full-scale war. In short, he was thrown out as a used condom, and chaos in the region is just needed in a common piggy bank. Everything goes according to plan.

And why doesn’t it occur to anyone that the people are merely ... forced Islamization. Women do not want to wear hijabs, and men five times a day to tumble up the ass for the sake of prayer. And no one wants to shed their blood and fight for the "great Ottoman empire" and "the will of Allah everywhere and in everything."
I think this desire is much stronger than any horror stories like the Fed. Do not intimidate yourself with the “omnipotent power of the Fed”, and then you will quietly turn into slaves of the invisible Fed.

Not the people, but the crowd who imagines that they are civilized Europeans. Who want to drink vodka before being put down, fuck anywhere and with just anyone, listen to the raunchy stage of half-naked prostitutes and jerk parts of their bodies to the zombie meaningless song about the meaning of life. In terms of improving the nation, a healthy lifestyle and moral education of young people, the government is doing the right thing, which revives religion and limits alcohol.
And not to "tumble", as you put it, but to fulfill religious duties. Dear, do not forget that there are Muslims on this site, moreover, practicing Muslims who do not tumble five times a day, but read namaz.

My dear, people do not judge by themselves.
If for you the availability of alcohol - only "drink vodka before opupeniya", this is your problem.
If you see only "... half-naked prostitutes ..." on the stage, this is again your problem.
Not every woman you see (want?) Not fully dressed is a prostitute.
Work on yourself, and their number around you will drastically decrease.
Like on the beach, girls in open swimsuits are not prostitutes, but simply vacationers.
And you probably shouldn't impose your faith.
Well, the educated population of Turkey does not want obligatory prayers.
For the sake of Erdoganov's “healing” of the nation, it seems, it will be necessary to shoot, and they probably will also have to drive the country into the Middle Ages.

Healing by science
Simon de Brussels («The Times»; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") writes that science "will ever be able to heal the Islamic radicals."
The article says: "Islamic fundamentalism someday, perhaps, will be perceived just as it is now - a mental illness, and will become" treatable. "
One of the world's leading neuroscientists, Kathleen Taylor, author of scientific publications and a researcher from Oxford, said that strong negative beliefs can be eradicated using a technique that is under development, says Simon de Brussels.
The achievements of modern neuroscience mean that we can not only control our minds and control our dreams, but also prevent the formation of strong beliefs.
The author cites Taylor: “If someone’s views, for example, became radical under the influence of the ideology of a cult, we can stop seeing this as a personal choice made solely by the will of the person, and begin to treat it as a kind of mental disorder.”
The only question is, add on our own who will determine the correctness of personal choice and make diagnoses of "mental disorder." Such scientific methods have always coexisted with the manic passions of their apologists.

The soft version of the "Iron Curtain"
Last month Islamists, remembering Allah, killed 25-year-old military man Lee Rigby, a machine gunner and a drummer, in London. In the same May, 25, patrol Cedric Cordier, in the Paris business district of La Defense, tried to cut his throat, attacking from behind. A typical terrorist migrant attacked the Frenchman: a bearded man in a leather jacket. At the same time, in the city council of Radstock (a town in the county of Somerset), the authorities banned the use of the St. George flag on their territory: they decided that a flag with a cross could offend the feelings of Muslim residents of the city. Muslims live there sixteen people. You can also mention the pogroms in Sweden (Husby district in Stockholm), in which the "comers" also actively participated. Against the background of all this madness, the latest attempt of the European Union states to return visas, borders and barriers to them looks quite rational.
As recently passed the portal "New Kaliningrad" With reference to Оnet.pl, the heads of foreign ministries of EU countries were in favor of the resumption of border controls at the borders of the Schengen countries. They believe that the influx of illegal migrants threatens the security of citizens of the Schengen countries.
In the coming days, the EU interior ministers are likely to officially confirm the need for border control reform in the Schengen zone. Actually, the top heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were the initiators of the reform. The reason for the upcoming border reforms was the fact that many states signaled: they feel insecure because of thousands of illegal immigrants.
To understand what kind of practice awaits the countries of Europe when applying the amendments, one should refer to the figures. Where do you get them from? From the western press.
Edition "Die Presse" writes that the number of illegal border crossings in the Schengen zone last year was halved. To some extent, this indicator can serve as a “test” of the Commission’s report on free movement within the EU, which was presented in Brussels. From October to December 2012, there were a total of 13.613 illegal intersections, or 52 percent, from the same period last year.
A particularly sharp drop in illegal intersections since August last year was recorded in Greece - thanks to strict control on the land border with Turkey (30 percent, or 4035 people). A good indicator of the decline and Italy - 31 percentage (4231 people). 59 percent is an indicator of the reduction of illegal border crossing at sea borders.
Currently, the Schengen zone includes 26 states and more than 400 millions of citizens. The emergency action of the new amendments will be six months, but it can be extended up to two years.
Judging by the Schengen innovations being promoted, let us add, the countries of Western Europe are going to completely block the channels of illegal migration, which have already narrowed significantly in 2012 year. At the same time, it should be noted that the EU leadership and the authorities in each country intend to be cautious about applying the amendments. Illegals are illegal, crime is criminal, Islamism is Islamism, and EU budgets should not lose money. Therefore, those analysts who argue with a cool head are right. Europe will not shut up tight.
Is the same "Die Presse" in another material quotes the Minister of Internal Affairs of Austria Johanna Mickle-Lightner. She welcomes the reform of the EU Schengen Agreement and says: “We can be very pleased with this package, because all our basic requirements have been taken into account”. But he adds clearly: “Now there is no reason to introduce strengthening of border control.” Mickle Lightner also notes that social tourism may suffer, as has already been noted in Germany.

They realized it, but this is hardly the case of Borjomi to help the European Tolerasts.
Russia should think about it.

Just as the godlessness of the USSR. Themselves drowning in gomosyatin.

As they say, they fought for ... It’s necessary to bring the situation to the point that the migrants are increasingly confident and dictate to their masters their own rules. Mosques are not enough for them, but you see, the celebration of Christian holidays insults their feelings. But for some reason no complaints are heard about the small number or absence of Christian churches in countries with a predominantly Muslim population (for example, in Qatar or Saudi Arabia).
Unfortunately, we, with our slurred immigration policy or rather its absence, risk repeating the fate of Western Europe. Specific measures in this area are not visible, and it all comes down to an empty talker.

Everything that happens on the western tolerasy in matters of migrants threatens us too.
Russia needs to introduce visa law with Central Asia.
Prevent the compact residence of migrants by dispersing them among the local population. Let them work together, live separately.

Yes, the situation is radically different. In Russia, Uzbeks and Tajiks are not concerned with migrants; their appearance looks the most and when they gather in groups - visual irritation. Unlike in Europe, they don’t live here with ghettos and families. Russians are irritated by Caucasians Muslims, and both from the North Caucasus and from the South. But the trouble is that the first citizens of the Russian Federation are by birth, and the latter are also mostly citizens. When people shout down with migrants, they got us, in 90 percent Caucasians are meant.
For my close friend, who has a strong mathematical education, but a weak geographic one, it was generally discovered that Dagestan, Chechnya is the territory of the Russian Federation))))))

"Beats on a muzzle, means, has the right to beat"
In the article "Russia in the form of a quilt" (Nowa Europa Wschodnia, Poland; source of translation - "InoSMI") Tomasz Horbowski talks about the collection of reports written by the long-term Gazeta Wyborcza reporter in Moscow, Vatslav Radzivinovich - “Gogol in the Google era”.
The texts with which the book is filled, in due time (1998-2012 years) were written for the newspaper and are sketches from Russian life. Russia, which Radzivinovich portrays, is often frightening. The principle on which this country functions, as Leo Tolstoy formulated, is unchanged: "It hits the face, which means it has the right to beat." The author tells of a terrible, unprincipled country, where the police robbing, rape and kidnap people with impunity, where the Moscow authorities get rid of immigrants, where mothers search for their dead for their homeland sons killed in dead cars. This is the Russia of the Chechen war, the authoritarian rule of Putin, Beslan, the Dubrovka Theater, the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the war with Georgia and the tragedy of the Kursk submarine, the journalist writes.
Radzivinovich reveals the absurdity and mimicry of Russian reality. He describes how once the authorities of Samara, before visiting the city of Putin, brought deficient buckwheat to the city and ordered the shops to lower prices for it - or to close. And once Vladimir Putin decided to ride a Lada, and his associates prepared a spare car that was being driven behind him, in case the trouble-free product of the Russian car industry had broken down.
In a curious report, the author of the collection tells about a pamphlet written by the Kremlin bureaucrats (secret). It explains how to look like a Russian official and how to ensure his longevity. “One should be slim, sober and tidy,” Radzivinovich quotes the council. Anyone who adheres to all these rules will be able to live to 150 years. So promises the Kremlin.
Among other things, the book talks a lot about women carrying the country on their shoulders, the main problem of which is drinking men who are notoriously self-sufficient. The man who is now at the helm of the state, also received an impartial characteristic. Quote:
“This is a notorious person, so unloved,” says Anna Politkovskaya to Radzivinovich about Putin. And along with it - the disliked Russia ... "

What a wise uncle this Radzivinovich, looked right into the depths of the Russian soul, and saw everything there. What is written nonsense, it just does not surprise. I was surprised if I objectively tried to write ...

Radzivinovich is a long-time hater of Russia. What a pity to him, come, the departed nineties.
Here is a quote from his book: “Pretty quickly, I came to the conclusion that there is no more interesting place for a foreign correspondent than Moscow. Now, of course, everything has become dimmer, but in 1997, when I arrived, life raged here. It was evident that people have a feeling that you yourself do not like to call in Russian the word “drive”.
Now, of course, it became boring for a yaz-noble pan in Moscow, not the “drive”.

But it is very sad, it is these parasites twice (with an average life expectancy of 75 years) longer?
There would be no thinking about designers or good directors.

Syrian "opposition" has put forward an ultimatum to Russia
The SSA command demanded that the Russian Federation stop interfering with international interference in the Syrian conflict, the newspaper writes "Work".
"Oppositionists" wrote a letter to the UN Security Council. The message put forward an ultimatum to Russia. “On behalf of the citizens of El-Qusayr, the Supreme Military Council demands that Russia abandon its obstacles to international intervention,” said a statement signed by the head of the Supreme Military Council of the Syrian Free Army, Salim Idris. “We ask the Security Council to take tough actions against this aggression,” the document says. “We demand that international pressure be extended to the Lebanese government to take measures to withdraw Hezbollah’s Syrian territory (movement fighters), otherwise we will be forced to turn our fight against the Assad criminal regime into an extended cross-border conflict.”
The reason for the ultimatum was the blockade by Russia of 1 June of the UN Security Council statement in connection with the events in El Quseir, where government forces attacked the militants.

... The very fact of an ultimatum from terrorist groups at the international level is ridiculous.
“Thank you, Lord, for the Russians”

America-led dismemberment by the NATO bloc of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Somalia and Iraq in the 1990's are highlighted. But these episodes are only a bloody prelude ... The wars in Afghanistan and again in Iraq, started respectively in 2001 and 2003, led to the death of up to two million people. More people were injured, maimed, poisoned or lost shelter. The total financial bill for these two wars alone is 6 trillions of dollars - more than a third of the US government debt. Moreover, this debt, according to Cunningham, turned out to be one of the reasons for the immersion of the rest of the world "into a deadly economic abyss."
In 2011, there was a NATO intervention in Libya. It was intended, as stated, to “protect human lives” from the “oppressive regime of Gaddafi”. And what? The rescue operation turned into air support from the US Air Force of Islamist militants who had connections with the Afghan Mujahideen and Al-Qaeda.
Cunningham called the war in Syria the “highlight of the program” of American imperialism: there a sovereign government opposes more than two years of aggression.
The geopolitics of Washington in recent years has changed from a "war with terrorists" to a "war for terrorists." America is now on the side of mercenaries, thugs and rapists.
What does the United States need from all the countries they are attacking? Cunningham has the answer to this question:
“In our current stagnant period of late capitalism, which is dominated by unproductive financial speculation and exorbitant debts, for the functioning of the economy is required to intimidate the countries of the world and select their resources in favor of the global elite. That is why Washington wants a regime change in such countries as Syria, Iran, Venezuela, and ultimately in Russia and China, to make their resources available for unlimited exploitation by the American-led global capitalist elite. ”
Today, both ordinary Americans and Europeans are beginning to see clearly and realize that their true enemies, both inside and outside the country, are wealthy oligarchs.
“That is why, ironically, when Russia announced that it was going to transfer Syrian anti-aircraft systems to Syria, this news throughout the world and even in the United States itself was greeted with universal relief and joy. American citizens, knowing full well the atrocities of their imperialist rulers, met this encouraging news with the words "Thank you, Lord, for the Russians" ... "
C-300 will ensure that US warships and fighters of both NATO and Israel are likely to abandon the criminal attack on Syria. Most ordinary people know that the intervention of the Russians in Syria is a chance to "interrupt the bloody march of the West over the land of this country and the world as a whole."
“And now the American imperialist instigators of war will be stopped thanks to Russia. What an unexpected twist! Russians are coming. Hooray!"

And they have reasonable people, except that the Washington Post and the New York Times will never publish such articles. As a result of the one-sided and tendentious reflection of reality in the official Western press - the increased interest in alternative sources of information ...
America's last hope
This amazing news transmits Mixednews.ru with reference to the video on "Youtube".
Many Americans consider Russia the last hope. Faith in the American government has never fallen so low before. Tens of thousands of online comments talk about it.
“Russia is constantly mentioned on many occasions - when it comes to events in Israel, for example, or corruption in the US government. In many cases, Russia is spoken of as the only force capable of stopping the insanity that is occurring. Very rarely, people appeal with the same hope to the US government - because the limit of American people's trust in their own government has already been exhausted. ”
Why is this happening? Because the American government has shown itself to be the enemy of humanity as a whole.
The author of the message cites the text of the mail message received by him, which states:
"I am ready to hang the Russian flag, I hope for Russia, because it is the only country that is powerful enough militarily to oppose the United States and Israel."
