The State Duma on Friday adopted in the second and third reading a draft law on the preemptive right of a citizen who served in the army to enroll in public service and to receive education in the field of economics and management. At the same time, a citizen who evades military service cannot be accepted for civil service, and if he is already a civil servant, he cannot continue such work.
The bill also proposes to provide citizens who have served in the army and have higher education, the preferential right to enroll in universities for higher education in economics and management and to study programs approved by the president and the government of Russia. The decision on the recognition of a citizen as a bias will be taken by the draft board.
On the one hand, this is a remarkable and long overdue decision, the need for which was discussed for quite a long time. The State Duma this time worked. But confused by the wording of the decision making by the draft board on whether the young man is a draft dodger or not. Well, here they are plagued by vague doubts that all draft dodgers will be called draft dodgers as “mowers”, and that’s that. Many of the gentlemen of these very recruiting commissions have not yet had time to complete the third floors of their “hlup”, and therefore the “mowermen” still have a chance and, alas, not an illusory one - to go through the papers with visually impaired or poorly-bad upright, armchair in some district administration with opening more impressive horizons. Although, I forgot, we have an irreconcilable fight against corruption at all levels, which means that author's pessimism is simply dull and insulting ...

The Latvian Saeima passed a bill in the third and final reading, tightening the ban on the use of Soviet and Nazi symbols. It will take effect after being signed by the president.
The document was supported by 56 deputies from 100. Representatives of the ruling political forces voted for him (the Unity bloc, the Reform Party, as well as the nationalist bloc), as well as representatives of the Green Union and the peasants and a number of parliamentarians.
The flag, the coat of arms and anthem of the USSR, as well as the corresponding symbols of the Latvian SSR, the sickle, the hammer and the five-pointed star, as well as the Nazi swastika, were included in the list of prohibited symbols.
To be honest, we are already here (in Russia) having lost count, in which this time the Baltic adherents of world democracy rushed to prohibit Soviet symbolism. Or the local authorities have to remind about the adoption of such a bill regularly - the people, apparently, forget ...
Well, by and large, it is clear why they took it: to once again show their democratic prowess, leveling the symbolism of the USSR with the symbols of Nazism and fascism: the hammer and sickle, five-pointed (six-pointed, if anything, you can use in Latvia), the flag of the USSR, the anthem of the USSR and, as if between times, the Nazi swastika ...
But with the stars, Latvian lawmakers, of course, made a blunder: would it be possible for the American Embassy to tear off the flag, because there are five-pointed ones - how many! Such a legislative bobble that even broke out the presidential palace of Latvia ...

Failure of denunciation: the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation remains in the Crimea after 2017
The deputies of the Verkhovna Rada did not support the initiative of the opposition to denounce the Russian-Ukrainian agreement on the extension of the Black Sea fleet in Crimea after 2017.
The bill supported the 152 parliamentarian with the necessary minimum of 226 votes. Thus, the signing and ratification of the treaty between Kiev and Moscow are recognized as legitimate and in the interests of the country.
Representatives of the Communist Party of Ukraine, the Party of Regions and some extra-fractional deputies spoke against denunciation.
It was itching to someone in the Ukrainian Rada, it was itching ... They wanted to show their ardor (well, really, in the image and likeness of the Latvian parliamentarians), in order to do away with the "remnants of totalitarianism on the free Ukrainian land." But it did not. The denunciation has failed, which in itself shows that the Ukrainian Rada has enough sensible people - they are not only able to wave with their fists behind the podium.
Only here and here it cannot be ruled out that the excessively ardent Ukrainian lawmakers (and not only lawmakers) will return to the discussion of this issue sooner or later - we must somehow remind ourselves of ourselves. And if these gentlemen have not learned to solve the economic problems, then it is necessary to recoup in the Russian fleet. It still does not work - a complex of oppositional inferiority is growing, which, in tandem with Russophobia, can be brought to bed in a psychoneurological clinic ...

interesting news from the air show at Le Bourget
Combat training aircraft Yak-130, previously ordered by Syria, are ready to be sent to the customer. This is with reference to a source in the Russian delegation in Le Bourget reports RIA Novosti.
The airplanes have already been built by Irkut and are standing on the plant’s site. According to the agency interlocutor, so far only gliders have been made, in which, upon receipt of a positive "political solution", engines and avionics will be installed, after which they will be sent to Syria. The supply contract for the Yak-130 was signed back in December 2011, therefore, on June 18, at a press conference following the G8 summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that weapons in Damascus are made in accordance with international law. An advance of the first six aircraft in the amount of about one hundred million dollars was transferred in June.
Well, keep five + one, Assad! Another six bitter pills for those who like to export a foul-smelling substance called “democratic values” to third countries. Now the main thing is to deliver.
Incidentally, this is not the only news about Russian aircraft that came from the air show at Le Bourget. Russian technology has shown its competitiveness. An intergovernmental agreement was signed with China on the supply of Su-35, a contract was signed with Iraq for the supply of Mi-28HE helicopters, and the "friends" of the Americans are acquiring X-NUMX Mi-30B17 helicopters for Afghanistan. Many contracts have been concluded for civil aircraft.

Go thirty thousand and migrate as much as you like
The weakness of the legislation was attended by the deputies Sergey Zhigarev (LDPR faction) and Aleksey Zhuravlev (United Russia faction), who decided to urgently correct the situation with the help of new amendments to two laws at once: "On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation" and " On the legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation. " The essence of the amendments is to oblige foreign citizens entering the territory of Russia from countries with which we have a visa-free regime to issue a so-called migration bill at the entrance. Registration will not be free. The cost of the bill Zhigarev and Zhuravlev is determined within the average cost of deportation of one illegal migrant - about 30 thousand rubles.
This is how the picture is drawn in the eyes, like Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Tajik and other guest workers line up for bills. As well as a picture of how 30 thousand rubles are wrapped in our paper with the signature “Farhad Batyrov. Before leaving, don’t waste money! ”And go to a large safe, where other thirty people are already wrapped with caring hands in the same white sheets. After the purchase of bills, migrants immediately legalized go to the Russian language exam, whispering along the Bronze Horseman road. Idyll…

Beating corruption
An interesting episode in one of the high-profile corruption cases of recent years occurred this week. As Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes this week, representatives of the Prosecutor General’s Office returned the case of such a person as ex-prosecutor Ignatenko for further investigation. For those who managed to forget, Ignatenko is a former prosecutor (the former first deputy prosecutor of the Moscow region), who is accused in the case of instigating the underground gambling business in the Moscow region. The prosecutor's office returned the case of his former ward for further investigation with the original motivation: the evidence presented by the investigation does not meet the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Together with the case of Alexander Ignatenko, the GP returned for further investigation and the case of Dmitry Urumov, the former head of the department of the same prosecutor's office. You see, the materials presented by the investigation do not fall under the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation - you see, they don’t. Whether some of our norms of the Criminal Code of the US are very exotic, or it is already a blatant attempt to lower the resonant corruption case on the brakes. And if we are perplexed about the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code, imagine how the Poles, who were so zealously demanded to extradite Ignatenko, are perplexed: “why did the Russians need this whole circus? To declare that there is no evidence against Ignatenko and the letter of the code was violated during the investigation? ”

Scientific companies in Armenia are being introduced this fall.
In March of this year, representatives of the educational sphere (rectors of universities) voiced the idea of creating so-called scientific companies in the Russian army, in which students of various domestic universities would be involved in the service. Then, the Ministry of Defense positively assessed the proposal, saying that young specialists can effectively fit into the structure of the reformed Russian army, as today there is an acute shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces who are able to manage high-quality new equipment using modern software and hardware.
A rare case, but quite a bit of time passed between the proposal and the beginning of the realization of the idea into reality. From the Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces of the name of Peter the Great, it was reported that it was at this time that the Russian military university would create the first scientific company in Russia. The formation of the company is scheduled for autumn this year. Representatives of the Academy declare that they are already preparing for the reception of the staff of draftees, namely, special premises are being equipped, in which recruits will be placed.
Again, the idea itself seems to be quite sensible - to raise an attractive military service, to attract well-educated young people to the Russian army, but how it will actually be is a big question. Whether these companies will become an opportunity to eat a fish, and catch a train for our “hotly loving homeland” majors ... It seems that they will serve on papers, they will probably also apply orders to something scientific there. medals for secret development, of which no one will ever hear (shss ... - secret!), and then, respectively, a direct route to all the same government posts that were discussed in one of the previous materials.

Syrian G8 Summit Results
They were told about correspondent RIA "News" Maria Tabak and Denis Voroshilov. Reaching a number of agreements on Syria was one of the main outcomes of the G8 summit, held on Monday and Tuesday in the Northern Irish resort of Lough Erne.
Russia warned its partners against the supply of weapons to the Syrian opposition. Moscow insists on its right to fulfill previously concluded contracts for the supply of defensive weapons to the Syrian authorities. Despite the differences in positions on the Syrian issue, the President of the Russian Federation said that during the discussion of these issues at the summit, he did not feel lonely at all.
“No, of course, this is absolutely not true. Apparently, someone really wanted this to be so, ”said the Russian president. According to him, “the discussion was common, someone agreed with someone, someone argued on some issues,” “but it never happened that Russia alone defended its approaches to solving the Syrian problem.”
G8 leaders announced the allocation of a billion dollars to 1,5 to help those affected by the conflict, declared the importance of holding the Geneva-2 conference as soon as possible and the inadmissibility of the use of chemical weapons by any party. A commitment to a political settlement of the conflict was also expressed.

Two million on "Potemkin villages"
About them told Konstantin Kerubov ("Voice of Russia"), referring to foreign media.
The authorities in the North Irish county of Ferman, where the G8 summit was held, have been criticized. The reason for it was that before the arrival of the guests, the authorities got carried away with the preparations and touched the locals for living, disguised with the stickers the shops closed due to the crisis.
According to The Telegraph, in Bilka, on the border with Ireland, the closed butcher shop in late May was decorated with stickers with sausages hung and refrigerators filled with goods. Driving down the street in the convoy, forgery is difficult to notice.
In Maguiresbridge, the authorities created a “Potemkin village” from an empty coffeehouse building. In Enniskillen, the closed shopping center was hung with posters with views of nature.
In many other cities near the summit venue, stickers “occupied” abandoned houses with tenants. And even fake bookstores appeared in Belfast.
In preparation for the summit, the authorities of Ferman spent about 2 million dollars. As the deputy of the Assembly of Northern Ireland Phil Flanagan told reporters, almost all the preparatory work was limited to disguising empty buildings.
“This is not a restore, but exclusively for G8. We just seal the gaps in the collapsing building with paper and time about the state of the economy. Most people consider it a waste of money, ”the MP said.
Konstantin Kerubov notes that “renovated” houses are not the only case of forgery. According to the newspaper The Sun, Barack Obama in Northern Ireland was guarded by security agents disguised as farmers, who were bought new tractors for greater certainty.

Government and people
Three weeks in Turkey go anti-government demonstrations and protests. The press notes that at least 8 thousands of people suffered in them. The dead - six.
Analysts are wondering: why are protests going so long? Some believe that Erdogan is to blame for everything, either having forgotten about democratic principles, or who has exchanged them for Islamist ones. Others write that the protests are the work of Washington, that is, a bunch of the State Department plus the CIA, who did not like the "gentleness" with which the Turkish prime minister acted against Syria. Now, if Erdogan had attacked Assad with all the Turkish military power, and not just called him a butcher and a murderer, then the Orange Revolution would not exist. Erdogan forgot, forgot that such an ally as the United States, when Obama is fighting only by proxy. Erdogan himself short-sightedly supported the viewpoint on the provocative actions of foreigners. Soon he will fall into the position of the president of Venezuela: you want to be friends with the United States, and you want to, and prick.
Suppression of protests in Turkey is quite autocratic, in the Brezhnev style. If the authorities seem little to the police, an army will be thrown into the streets. Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey Bulent Arınch 17 of June said: the army can be sent to disperse the protests. This was reported "Lenta.ru", referring to the newspaper "Hurriyet".
“We must stop illegal protests. If the police are not enough, the gendarmerie will take over. If this is not enough, we will engage the army. All these structures are completely legal, ”said Mr. Arinc.
A strange statement, very strange. Is this something that illegal structures are prepared and are waiting for their time? Bandits thugs, or what? Or did the deputy prime minister want to explain to his people that what the government is doing is completely legal, but what the people are doing is wrong and illegal? ..

Deal per billion
On June 18, there were reports in the media - and short notes, and analytical articles, and interviews with experts full of gloomy forecasts - about large deliveries of Russian land weapons to Azerbaijan. This is about tanks, BMP, multiple launch rocket systems, heavy flamethrower systems, and so on. In a word - about weapons not defensive, but offensive. The press mentions the billion-dollar value of the supply contracts.
According to Gazeta.ru with reference to an unnamed source “Vedomosti”, contracts were concluded for three battalions (94 units) of T-90 tanks, about three battalions (about 100 units) of infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3, one division (18 units) self-propelled artillery installations “Msta -C ", one division (18 launchers) multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS)" Smerch ", one division (18 units) self-propelled artillery" Vienna "and one battery (6 units) of heavy flame-throwing systems TOC-1" Solntsek " (new modification of "Buratino").
According to the source in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the total cost of the systems together with the ammunition can be, judging by the nomenclature, not less than 700 million dollars, and possibly about a billion.
The main objective of the contractual deliveries of Russian land military equipment to Azerbaijan is financial gain. About it IA "REGNUM" said military expert Vladislav Shurygin, deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper Zavtra. In his opinion, if the data on the configuration of the equipment delivered to Azerbaijan is correct, then it is assumed that at least one military compound will be armed (ranging in size from a reinforced brigade to a division).
“Apparently, Azerbaijan is modernizing ground forces. Of course, these are the troops that will resolve issues with any of the following aggravations in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Therefore, if the question is raised whether the deliveries of such weapons to Azerbaijan are dangerous for Armenia, the answer is obvious: unequivocally, ”comrade Shurygin stated. On the other hand, Russia is not interested in destabilizing the situation, and the main “fuse”, according to the expert, here is the presence of the Russian military contingent in Armenia. “The motivation is clear: the Russian side needs finance. At the same time, Moscow hopes that Azerbaijan will not attack the country in whose territory the troops of the country from which he buys weapons are located. Baku will not dare to attack the country, which is connected with Russia by the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance.
And the very supply of weapons to Azerbaijan, Shurygin believes, is a kind of lever of influence on the situation.

New president, new features
According to the results of the elections held on June 14, 64-year-old Hassan Rouhani was the new president of Iran (he received 18,613 million votes, or more than 50%, with approximately 80-percent turnout). This man is the one about which you can safely say: a professional statesman. During Iran’s war with Iraq, he held leading positions in the command of the Iranian Armed Forces, in 1989-2005. He chaired the Supreme Council of National Security and was the head of the delegation at the negotiations on the nuclear program. He also held other high positions, and was also a deputy of the Majlis for twenty years.
Rouhani explained his victory in the presidential election. “This great epic event (the election of the head of state) opens up new opportunities for us, and countries that advocate democracy and open dialogue should respect the Iranian people and recognize the rights of the Islamic Republic,” he said during the first public appearance after victory . "This is a victory of intelligence, restraint and progress over extremism," - further quotes his words Interfax.

Handbook of Kim Jong-un
The leader of North Korea presented his officials with a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf. The head of the republic called for “to study the book as a manual” and “to extract practical benefits from it,” reports "RT".
The work of the Fuhrer in the DPRK was printed in limited edition - 100 copies (in fact, the book is banned in North Korea) - on the occasion of the birthday of the national leader. The birthday of the head of the DPRK was 8 January, but it became known about the gift only now.
According to New Focus International, Kim Jong-un first read Mein Kampf while studying in Switzerland. The North Korean leader was impressed by how Hitler managed to restore Germany’s economic and military might after a defeat in World War I in a short time, and considered it necessary to derive practical benefits from this experience.
Experts believe that the UN is looking for a new national idea: it needs to captivate the people with something else besides calling for war and protection from the imperialists and puppets.
As noted by Svetlana Maksimenko ("Voice of Russia"), referring to the same portal “New Focus International”, Kim Jong-un was also interested in German methods of promoting childbearing and sports.
Kim Jong-un allegedly ordered the head of the Ministry of National Security of the DPRK, Choi Pu Yil, to focus on the Gestapo pattern.

He is not a Chinese spy
17 Jun Glenn Greenwald, correspondent for the British newspaper The Guardian, conducted an exclusive online interview with Edward Snowden, a famous public informant accuser, against whom he launched a criminal investigation of the NSA. Visitors to the Guardian could ask him questions in real time. Before the interview began, Comrade Greenwald warned possible participants in the broadcast that Snowden was contacting via a secure connection, and there could be gaps and interference. Snowden's answers appeared one after another before the readers of the newspaper in the form of text blocks in a live tape. Then the interview was posted on the site completely.
The US government, the informant said, immediately and predictably eliminated any possibility of a fair trial in the home country - just as it did with other informants. In the US, Snowden is openly declared guilty of high treason and declare that disclosing secrets is not only a criminal offense, but also an unforgivable anti-constitutional act. This is unfair, says the informant. Why? But why: he did not declassify any military operations legally carried out by the United States. He reported on the hacking of NSA civilian infrastructure (universities, hospitals, private business). All this is dangerous, according to the informant. The public should know that the government is doing on its own behalf what the “consent of the governed” does not make sense.
Responding to a question about whether the Chinese government is not planning anything about it and whether it is waiting for information from it, Snowden noted that the rumors in the American media about Red China are a reaction to everything that is somehow connected with Hong Kong or the PRC, aimed at distracting society from the issue of the crimes of the US government.
Responding to one of the questions about the dangers of terrorism, Snowden noted that American officials each time take this trump card from its sleeve when a public debate can limit their power. US officials are directly misleading the public or are lying about the need for wiretapping programs.
In addition, it is important to keep in mind that Snowden is called a traitor by people such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, a man who, according to an informant, gave the government a scheme of unwarranted phone tapping as a kind of warm-up on the way to the conflict in which more than 4400 died and nearly 32000 injured Americans, and the fact that more 100000 Iraqis are dead. The word "traitor" in the mouth of Dick Cheney is the highest award an American can receive. The more anxiety we hear in the voices of people like him, Snowden said, like Feinstein or King, the better we all become.
Obama has the opportunity to return to sanity, to constitutional politics, to the rule of law, says the informant.
Snowden advises him to demand the creation of an ad hoc committee to review these interception programs, to give up the dangerous privileges of state secrets. Obama could start the tradition that the next presidents would take from him, he could show his respect for the law by setting up an investigation to consider the policy he was leading in his office in order to detect any wrongdoing.
At the end of the online interview, the informant expressed regret that the media are much more interested in what he, Snowden, did at the age of seventeen, or what his girlfriend looks like. The largest surveillance program in human history, alas, is of less interest to the press ...
In conclusion, we give another remark of Edward Snowden - the phrases he uttered in response to a question from the Greenwald correspondent:

The United States is on the verge of financial destruction and may soon become a big Greece or Spain. This was stated by Donald Trump, who painted an unsightly perspective for the United States. Trump commented on the situation in his recent speech on Fox News in the show “Direct recording with Greta van Sousteren,” writes Mixednews.ru with reference to Money News.
The United States, according to Trump, is no longer rich. Downgrading the US debt rating is inevitable. Not only the swelling of public debt and the imminent credit rating reduction are worrying Trump. He says that the real US unemployment rate is 15-16%. And even, he said, some cite data on the 21 percentage.
Behind Trump, in a different interview, was made by Robert Wiedemer. This man is not as famous as Rich Trump, the owner of a television show, but it was he who precisely predicted the economic crisis that the United States had almost sank. It was still in 2006 year.
At that time, Wiedmer and the team of economists predicted the upcoming financial crisis of the American housing market, private debts and consumer spending. They published their data in the American economic bubble.
Today Wiedemer draws a horrible ending for America.
In a recent interview about his book “The Last Blow”, he said: “The prospect is clear: 50% unemployment, stock market decline by 90% and 100% annual inflation ... start at 2012.”
The facilitator questioned these statements, but Wiedmer showed the graphs as proof and added: “You see, the medicine can become a poison”. The interview showed that the financial "rescue" of the country, undertaken by Washington, failed ingloriously. The blame for this lies with Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke and the former Federal Reserve boss Greenspene.
Once Wiedemer challenged Bernanke, saying that his "money from heaven leads to hell."
In an interview with Wiedmer, realistic step-by-step problem solutions were proposed. The huge number of responses requesting the publication of this interview led to a well-known government reaction: the network administrations began to ban it. Bernanke and Greenspan, of course, were not eager to publicly support Wiedemer.
"People sat and made notes, and they asked us to publish an interview so that they could give links to it," says Aaron de Hug, publisher of Newsmax Financial, "but unfortunately they were still banned."
Comrade de Hug promised to make every effort to distribute video from the interview.
Yes, of course, we add on our own, and Big Brother will make his own efforts.

Obama got into the story
19 June, delivering a speech in Berlin behind bullet-proof glass - a little shorter than the speeches of Secretary General Gorbachev, - the American president and Nobel laureate Barack Obama told the world community that the “cold war” is still going on, and this wrong. Speechwriter thought deepened: reading the text further, Obama said about the need for negotiations with Moscow and that it was time to go beyond the "cold" doctrine. A source "Kommersant", close to the US administration, said that Obama "hopes to make this initiative his main legacy." So, Barak Hussein was going to be noted on the tables of history.
We all love and respect the friendly American people, starting with its popularly elected president, for whom even 108% voted for somewhere in Ohio, and many electronic voting machines were not only “default” tuned to Barak Hussein, but also neither automatically switched after pressing a button from Romney to Obama. The man who drank his self-made beer, sweetened with medcom, in the Oval Office, while NATO forces bombed poor Libya, is truly worthy of respect. The one who is going to arm the cannibals, the rebels in Syria to the teeth, who negotiate with the Taliban in order to legitimize these terrorists in the eyes of the world community and set them up by election to the throne in Afghanistan, and from there continue to steer opium flows to Central Asia, who in Egypt, he approved of the “choice of the people”, when an ardent Islamist and “Muslim brother” Mursi broke through to power - he truly deserves not only respect, but also the Nobel Peace Prize. Finally, the one who is on a couple with George W. Bush is responsible for the total global surveillance-wiretapping, carried out by various electronic means, either by the NSA or the CIA, is perfectly suited to be captured on the cover of "Time" as a "man of the year" , even in the picture in dark colors. Dark tones - they are just right, Orwell's novel "1984" also can not be called comics.
Now Mr. Obama has once again decided to disarm Russia. It was as if Libya and Iraq were not, and there are no threats to Syria and Iran. And as if Washington does not have that right, which he himself ascribed to himself in the strategic doctrine: the United States can launch a preventive nuclear strike on any country, as soon as they feel the danger to themselves and their loved ones.
Of course, the cause of all is the crisis, budget sequestration and “defense” cuts (half a trillion dollars over 10 years). The White House does not have money not only for new weapons, but also for the maintenance of existing ones.
To cut back from himself, and at the same time in Russia, Obama decided quite a lot: to take away at once a third of the level determined by the treaty on strategic offensive arms of the year. So that in the Kremlin there is no doubt about his sincerity and decency, Barak Hussein proposed to carry out the procedure of reducing arsenals at the same time.
Russia, however, was skeptical of Obama’s initiative, and defense strategists sitting on Capitol Hill promised not to let Obama begin to move in the direction of cuts.
Thus, the renowned peacemaker Obama would rather get into the story than go into it.

Failure of denunciation: the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation remains in the Crimea after 2017
The deputies of the Verkhovna Rada did not support the initiative of the opposition to denounce the Russian-Ukrainian agreement on the extension of the Black Sea fleet in Crimea after 2017.
The bill supported the 152 parliamentarian with the necessary minimum of 226 votes. Thus, the signing and ratification of the treaty between Kiev and Moscow are recognized as legitimate and in the interests of the country.
Representatives of the Communist Party of Ukraine, the Party of Regions and some extra-fractional deputies spoke against denunciation.
It was itching to someone in the Ukrainian Rada, it was itching ... They wanted to show their ardor (well, really, in the image and likeness of the Latvian parliamentarians), in order to do away with the "remnants of totalitarianism on the free Ukrainian land." But it did not. The denunciation has failed, which in itself shows that the Ukrainian Rada has enough sensible people - they are not only able to wave with their fists behind the podium.
Only here and here it cannot be ruled out that the excessively ardent Ukrainian lawmakers (and not only lawmakers) will return to the discussion of this issue sooner or later - we must somehow remind ourselves of ourselves. And if these gentlemen have not learned to solve the economic problems, then it is necessary to recoup in the Russian fleet. It still does not work - a complex of oppositional inferiority is growing, which, in tandem with Russophobia, can be brought to bed in a psychoneurological clinic ...

Ukraine’s sober-minded politicians are well aware that with the practical absence of adequate armed forces in Ukraine, it is waiting for the fate of Georgia.
interesting news from the air show at Le Bourget
Combat training aircraft Yak-130, previously ordered by Syria, are ready to be sent to the customer. This is with reference to a source in the Russian delegation in Le Bourget reports RIA Novosti.
The airplanes have already been built by Irkut and are standing on the plant’s site. According to the agency interlocutor, so far only gliders have been made, in which, upon receipt of a positive "political solution", engines and avionics will be installed, after which they will be sent to Syria. The supply contract for the Yak-130 was signed back in December 2011, therefore, on June 18, at a press conference following the G8 summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that weapons in Damascus are made in accordance with international law. An advance of the first six aircraft in the amount of about one hundred million dollars was transferred in June.
Well, keep five + one, Assad! Another six bitter pills for those who like to export a foul-smelling substance called “democratic values” to third countries. Now the main thing is to deliver.
Incidentally, this is not the only news about Russian aircraft that came from the air show at Le Bourget. Russian technology has shown its competitiveness. An intergovernmental agreement was signed with China on the supply of Su-35, a contract was signed with Iraq for the supply of Mi-28HE helicopters, and the "friends" of the Americans are acquiring X-NUMX Mi-30B17 helicopters for Afghanistan. Many contracts have been concluded for civil aircraft.

Go thirty thousand and migrate as much as you like
The weakness of the legislation was attended by the deputies Sergey Zhigarev (LDPR faction) and Aleksey Zhuravlev (United Russia faction), who decided to urgently correct the situation with the help of new amendments to two laws at once: "On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation" and " On the legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation. " The essence of the amendments is to oblige foreign citizens entering the territory of Russia from countries with which we have a visa-free regime to issue a so-called migration bill at the entrance. Registration will not be free. The cost of the bill Zhigarev and Zhuravlev is determined within the average cost of deportation of one illegal migrant - about 30 thousand rubles.
This is how the picture is drawn in the eyes, like Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Tajik and other guest workers line up for bills. As well as a picture of how 30 thousand rubles are wrapped in our paper with the signature “Farhad Batyrov. Before leaving, don’t waste money! ”And go to a large safe, where other thirty people are already wrapped with caring hands in the same white sheets. After the purchase of bills, migrants immediately legalized go to the Russian language exam, whispering along the Bronze Horseman road. Idyll…

Enter the visa regime and entry only on foreign passports. Penalty from the employer in 1 million rubles. For one migrant. All deportation costs are also at the expense of the employer. Denied entry to violator on 5 years. Migrants will be drastically reduced.
Denis:
“Migrants will be drastically reduced” - That is difficult. How many "chosen ones" have their own construction and other companies where gastric employees work?
Navy7981:
The idea is strange ... Maybe not 30 000, but 130 000, that would not go, but in principle, I personally do not care how to stop the migration of others. Just to be stopped !!!
Deo75:
It is good that at least some movement has begun in this direction. The idea of buying bills in 30 000 rub. certainly doubtful, no one will buy it. I would suggest this: if you catch such an illegal, force him to work from six months to a year at various state and (or) municipal enterprises, organizations until he reimburses the cost of his deportation + a fine.
Beating corruption
An interesting episode in one of the high-profile corruption cases of recent years occurred this week. As Rossiyskaya Gazeta writes this week, representatives of the Prosecutor General’s Office returned the case of such a person as ex-prosecutor Ignatenko for further investigation. For those who managed to forget, Ignatenko is a former prosecutor (the former first deputy prosecutor of the Moscow region), who is accused in the case of instigating the underground gambling business in the Moscow region. The prosecutor's office returned the case of his former ward for further investigation with the original motivation: the evidence presented by the investigation does not meet the requirements of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Photo http://www.ridus.ru
Together with the case of Alexander Ignatenko, the GP returned for further investigation and the case of Dmitry Urumov, the former head of the department of the same prosecutor's office. You see, the materials presented by the investigation do not fall under the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation - you see, they don’t. Whether some of our norms of the Criminal Code of the US are very exotic, or it is already a blatant attempt to lower the resonant corruption case on the brakes. And if we are perplexed about the norms of the Criminal Procedure Code, imagine how the Poles, who were so zealously demanded to extradite Ignatenko, are perplexed: “why did the Russians need this whole circus? To declare that there is no evidence against Ignatenko and the letter of the code was violated during the investigation? ”

Scientific companies in Armenia are being introduced this fall.
In March of this year, representatives of the educational sphere (rectors of universities) voiced the idea of creating so-called scientific companies in the Russian army, in which students of various domestic universities would be involved in the service. Then, the Ministry of Defense positively assessed the proposal, saying that young specialists can effectively fit into the structure of the reformed Russian army, as today there is an acute shortage of personnel in the Armed Forces who are able to manage high-quality new equipment using modern software and hardware.
A rare case, but quite a bit of time passed between the proposal and the beginning of the realization of the idea into reality. From the Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces of the name of Peter the Great, it was reported that it was at this time that the Russian military university would create the first scientific company in Russia. The formation of the company is scheduled for autumn this year. Representatives of the Academy declare that they are already preparing for the reception of the staff of draftees, namely, special premises are being equipped, in which recruits will be placed.
Again, the idea itself seems to be quite sensible - to raise an attractive military service, to attract well-educated young people to the Russian army, but how it will actually be is a big question. Whether these companies will become an opportunity to eat a fish, and catch a train for our “hotly loving homeland” majors ... It seems that they will serve on papers, they will probably also apply orders to something scientific there. medals for secret development, of which no one will ever hear (shss ... - secret!), and then, respectively, a direct route to all the same government posts that were discussed in one of the previous materials. Option.

It seems to me that the idea is not bad, but it is necessary that professionals should be involved in these companies. You look, some of them then will go to work in the defense industry. But of course it is necessary to increase the pay for scientists and production workers, and not the "effective managers" who command them. And then, as always, 3 is the boss on 1 Desktop.
Syrian G8 Summit Results
They were told about correspondent RIA "News" Maria Tabak and Denis Voroshilov. Reaching a number of agreements on Syria was one of the main outcomes of the G8 summit, held on Monday and Tuesday in the Northern Irish resort of Lough Erne.
Russia warned its partners against the supply of weapons to the Syrian opposition. Moscow insists on its right to fulfill previously concluded contracts for the supply of defensive weapons to the Syrian authorities. Despite the differences in positions on the Syrian issue, the President of the Russian Federation said that during the discussion of these issues at the summit, he did not feel lonely at all.
“No, of course, this is absolutely not true. Apparently, someone really wanted this to be so, ”said the Russian president. According to him, “the discussion was common, someone agreed with someone, someone argued on some issues,” “but it never happened that Russia alone defended its approaches to solving the Syrian problem.”
G8 leaders announced the allocation of a billion dollars to 1,5 to help those affected by the conflict, declared the importance of holding the Geneva-2 conference as soon as possible and the inadmissibility of the use of chemical weapons by any party. A commitment to a political settlement of the conflict was also expressed.

Sooner or later, G7 will listen to G1.
Two million on "Potemkin villages"
About them told Konstantin Kerubov ("Voice of Russia"), referring to foreign media.
The authorities in the North Irish county of Ferman, where the G8 summit was held, have been criticized. The reason for it was that before the arrival of the guests, the authorities got carried away with the preparations and touched the locals for living, disguised with the stickers the shops closed due to the crisis.
According to The Telegraph, in Bilka, on the border with Ireland, the closed butcher shop in late May was decorated with stickers with sausages hung and refrigerators filled with goods. Driving down the street in the convoy, forgery is difficult to notice.
In Maguiresbridge, the authorities created a “Potemkin village” from an empty coffeehouse building. In Enniskillen, the closed shopping center was hung with posters with views of nature.
In many other cities near the summit venue, stickers “occupied” abandoned houses with tenants. And even fake bookstores appeared in Belfast.
In preparation for the summit, the authorities of Ferman spent about 2 million dollars. As the deputy of the Assembly of Northern Ireland Phil Flanagan told reporters, almost all the preparatory work was limited to disguising empty buildings.
“This is not a restore, but exclusively for G8. We just seal the gaps in the collapsing building with paper and time about the state of the economy. Most people consider it a waste of money, ”the MP said.
Konstantin Kerubov notes that “renovated” houses are not the only case of forgery. According to the newspaper The Sun, Barack Obama in Northern Ireland was guarded by security agents disguised as farmers, who were bought new tractors for greater certainty.

Three weeks in Turkey go anti-government demonstrations and protests. The press notes that at least 8 thousands of people suffered in them. The dead - six.
Photo http://joyreactor.cc
Analysts are wondering: why are protests going so long? Some believe that Erdogan is to blame for everything, either having forgotten about democratic principles, or who has exchanged them for Islamist ones. Others write that the protests are the work of Washington, that is, a bunch of the State Department plus the CIA, who did not like the "gentleness" with which the Turkish prime minister acted against Syria. Now, if Erdogan had attacked Assad with all the Turkish military power, and not just called him a butcher and a murderer, then the Orange Revolution would not exist. Erdogan forgot, forgot that such an ally as the United States, when Obama is fighting only by proxy. Erdogan himself short-sightedly supported the viewpoint on the provocative actions of foreigners. Soon he will fall into the position of the president of Venezuela: you want to be friends with the United States, and you want to, and prick.
Suppression of protests in Turkey is quite autocratic, in the Brezhnev style. If the authorities seem little to the police, an army will be thrown into the streets. Deputy Prime Minister of Turkey Bulent Arınch 17 of June said: the army can be sent to disperse the protests. This was reported "Lenta.ru", referring to the newspaper "Hurriyet".
“We must stop illegal protests. If the police are not enough, the gendarmerie will take over. If this is not enough, we will engage the army. All these structures are completely legal, ”said Mr. Arinc.
A strange statement, very strange. Is this something that illegal structures are prepared and are waiting for their time? Bandits thugs, or what? Or did the deputy prime minister want to explain to his people that what the government is doing is completely legal, but what the people are doing is wrong and illegal? ..

Erdogan gives me conflicting feelings. On the one hand, it impresses his stiffness in stories with the "flotilla of peace", but on the other - I do not like his passion for the Islamization of Turkish society and the support of the Syrian militants.
Therefore, if he has to leave, then for Russia it will not be a loss. He fulfilled his main mission for us by giving permission for laying the South Stream along the Turkish bottom of the Black Sea.
If he stays, it is also good, because, balancing in his chair under the growth of human rights criticism of the West and trying to save face in front of his supporters, he will be forced to seek support from Putin.
In general, any option for the development of Erdoganov's fate suits Russia.

Deal per billion
On June 18, there were reports in the media - and short notes, and analytical articles, and interviews with experts full of gloomy forecasts - about large deliveries of Russian land weapons to Azerbaijan. This is about tanks, BMP, multiple launch rocket systems, heavy flamethrower systems, and so on. In a word - about weapons not defensive, but offensive. The press mentions the billion-dollar value of the supply contracts.
According to Gazeta.ru with reference to an unnamed source “Vedomosti”, contracts were concluded for three battalions (94 units) of T-90 tanks, about three battalions (about 100 units) of infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3, one division (18 units) self-propelled artillery installations “Msta -C ", one division (18 launchers) multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS)" Smerch ", one division (18 units) self-propelled artillery" Vienna "and one battery (6 units) of heavy flame-throwing systems TOC-1" Solntsek " (new modification of "Buratino").
According to the source in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the total cost of the systems together with the ammunition can be, judging by the nomenclature, not less than 700 million dollars, and possibly about a billion.
The main objective of the contractual deliveries of Russian land military equipment to Azerbaijan is financial gain. About it IA "REGNUM" said military expert Vladislav Shurygin, deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper Zavtra. In his opinion, if the data on the configuration of the equipment delivered to Azerbaijan is correct, then it is assumed that at least one military compound will be armed (ranging in size from a reinforced brigade to a division).
“Apparently, Azerbaijan is modernizing ground forces. Of course, these are the troops that will resolve issues with any of the following aggravations in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Therefore, if the question is raised whether the deliveries of such weapons to Azerbaijan are dangerous for Armenia, the answer is obvious: unequivocally, ”comrade Shurygin stated. On the other hand, Russia is not interested in destabilizing the situation, and the main “fuse”, according to the expert, here is the presence of the Russian military contingent in Armenia. “The motivation is clear: the Russian side needs finance. At the same time, Moscow hopes that Azerbaijan will not attack the country in whose territory the troops of the country from which he buys weapons are located. Baku will not dare to attack the country, which is connected with Russia by the Treaty on Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance.
And the very supply of weapons to Azerbaijan, Shurygin believes, is a kind of lever of influence on the situation.

... It’s just that the people of Azerbaijanis don’t blame them ... They’ve written about such deliveries of weapons, almost behind Putin’s back, Aliyev secretly bought and, probably, he overtakes tanks in Baku himself.
As in Jordan, a joint plant for the production of grenade launchers is normal, and how to sell weapons in Azerbaijan is almost a betrayal of the Motherland. Strange views of the members of the forum, do they really think that the contract for the supply of arms is like buying vegetables? Here both the financial component and the political component are carefully calculated.

Cheerful morning Alexey. “It's just that the people of Azerbaijanis are not blaming for anything.” - I support all 100%. Well, we bought equipment and weapons, because it’s not from competitors and opponents of Russia, but from YOU! YOU brought money to the treasury, with YOU an agreement on further maintenance, modernization, purchase of spare parts and ammunition was concluded, it is necessary to rejoice, and here all the dogs were let us down. Well, you do not want - so we will give this billion of dollars to the same Europeans, or Turks, or someone else - there are many arms dealers in the world.
Tersky
Well, then he and the forum, it's like in the market, as much as there are so many goods and prices. Each situation with the sale of weapons by Russia to Azerbaijan is viewed from its own bell tower. For me, if they sell, it means that everything is calculated a few steps forward, who will be sawing under the branch.
New president, new features
According to the results of the elections held on June 14, 64-year-old Hassan Rouhani was the new president of Iran (he received 18,613 million votes, or more than 50%, with approximately 80-percent turnout). This man is the one about which you can safely say: a professional statesman. During Iran’s war with Iraq, he held leading positions in the command of the Iranian Armed Forces, in 1989-2005. He chaired the Supreme Council of National Security and was the head of the delegation at the negotiations on the nuclear program. He also held other high positions, and was also a deputy of the Majlis for twenty years.
Rouhani explained his victory in the presidential election. “This great epic event (the election of the head of state) opens up new opportunities for us, and countries that advocate democracy and open dialogue should respect the Iranian people and recognize the rights of the Islamic Republic,” he said during the first public appearance after victory . "This is a victory of intelligence, restraint and progress over extremism," - further quotes his words Interfax.

No wonder C-300 held for Iran. It is not yet known what kind of fruit this new Iranian president is.

In vain actually. The contract must be respected in any case. Iran with C-300 is a serious regional power, not a leader, but a leading player. Without them, this is a country that is being stifled by US sanctions ... They should have been armed at least in defiance of Turkey.

Do not exaggerate the role of the president in Iran. The lion’s share of power is in the hands of Ayatollah Khamenei. The population of Iran has long matured for reform.

Rouhani is a common screen, nothing decisive, designed to soften sanctions and delay negotiations. In Iran, nothing will change.
Handbook of Kim Jong-un
The leader of North Korea presented his officials with a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf. The head of the republic called for “to study the book as a manual” and “to extract practical benefits from it,” reports "RT".
The work of the Fuhrer in the DPRK was printed in limited edition - 100 copies (in fact, the book is banned in North Korea) - on the occasion of the birthday of the national leader. The birthday of the head of the DPRK was 8 January, but it became known about the gift only now.
According to New Focus International, Kim Jong-un first read Mein Kampf while studying in Switzerland. The North Korean leader was impressed by how Hitler managed to restore Germany’s economic and military might after a defeat in World War I in a short time, and considered it necessary to derive practical benefits from this experience.
Experts believe that the UN is looking for a new national idea: it needs to captivate the people with something else besides calling for war and protection from the imperialists and puppets.
As noted by Svetlana Maksimenko ("Voice of Russia"), referring to the same portal “New Focus International”, Kim Jong-un was also interested in German methods of promoting childbearing and sports.
Kim Jong-un allegedly ordered the head of the Ministry of National Security of the DPRK, Choi Pu Yil, to focus on the Gestapo pattern.

He is not a Chinese spy
17 Jun Glenn Greenwald, correspondent for the British newspaper The Guardian, conducted an exclusive online interview with Edward Snowden, a famous public informant accuser, against whom he launched a criminal investigation of the NSA. Visitors to the Guardian could ask him questions in real time. Before the interview began, Comrade Greenwald warned possible participants in the broadcast that Snowden was contacting via a secure connection, and there could be gaps and interference. Snowden's answers appeared one after another before the readers of the newspaper in the form of text blocks in a live tape. Then the interview was posted on the site completely.
The US government, the informant said, immediately and predictably eliminated any possibility of a fair trial in the home country - just as it did with other informants. In the US, Snowden is openly declared guilty of high treason and declare that disclosing secrets is not only a criminal offense, but also an unforgivable anti-constitutional act. This is unfair, says the informant. Why? But why: he did not declassify any military operations legally carried out by the United States. He reported on the hacking of NSA civilian infrastructure (universities, hospitals, private business). All this is dangerous, according to the informant. The public should know that the government is doing on its own behalf what the “consent of the governed” does not make sense.
Responding to a question about whether the Chinese government is not planning anything about it and whether it is waiting for information from it, Snowden noted that the rumors in the American media about Red China are a reaction to everything that is somehow connected with Hong Kong or the PRC, aimed at distracting society from the issue of the crimes of the US government.
“Ask yourself: if I were a Chinese spy, why didn’t I fly directly to Beijing? ..”
Responding to one of the questions about the dangers of terrorism, Snowden noted that American officials each time take this trump card from its sleeve when a public debate can limit their power. US officials are directly misleading the public or are lying about the need for wiretapping programs.
In addition, it is important to keep in mind that Snowden is called a traitor by people such as former Vice President Dick Cheney, a man who, according to an informant, gave the government a scheme of unwarranted phone tapping as a kind of warm-up on the way to the conflict in which more than 4400 died and nearly 32000 injured Americans, and the fact that more 100000 Iraqis are dead. The word "traitor" in the mouth of Dick Cheney is the highest award an American can receive. The more anxiety we hear in the voices of people like him, Snowden said, like Feinstein or King, the better we all become.
Obama has the opportunity to return to sanity, to constitutional politics, to the rule of law, says the informant.
"He still has time to go down in history as a president who looked into the abyss, but stepped back and did not jump."
Snowden advises him to demand the creation of an ad hoc committee to review these interception programs, to give up the dangerous privileges of state secrets. Obama could start the tradition that the next presidents would take from him, he could show his respect for the law by setting up an investigation to consider the policy he was leading in his office in order to detect any wrongdoing.
"Not a drop can be trusted in the government if our top officials are freed from control: they must set an example of transparency."
At the end of the online interview, the informant expressed regret that the media are much more interested in what he, Snowden, did at the age of seventeen, or what his girlfriend looks like. The largest surveillance program in human history, alas, is of less interest to the press ...
In conclusion, we give another remark of Edward Snowden - the phrases he uttered in response to a question from the Greenwald correspondent:
“All I can say right now is that the US government cannot hide the truth by putting me in jail or killing me.” Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped. ”

The end of usa
The United States is on the verge of financial destruction and may soon become a big Greece or Spain. This was stated by Donald Trump, who painted an unsightly perspective for the United States. Trump commented on the situation in his recent speech on Fox News in the show “Direct recording with Greta van Sousteren,” writes Mixednews.ru with reference to Money News.
The United States, according to Trump, is no longer rich. Downgrading the US debt rating is inevitable. Not only the swelling of public debt and the imminent credit rating reduction are worrying Trump. He says that the real US unemployment rate is 15-16%. And even, he said, some cite data on the 21 percentage.
Behind Trump, in a different interview, was made by Robert Wiedemer. This man is not as famous as Rich Trump, the owner of a television show, but it was he who precisely predicted the economic crisis that the United States had almost sank. It was still in 2006 year.
At that time, Wiedmer and the team of economists predicted the upcoming financial crisis of the American housing market, private debts and consumer spending. They published their data in the American economic bubble.
Today Wiedemer draws a horrible ending for America.
In a recent interview about his book “The Last Blow”, he said: “The prospect is clear: 50% unemployment, stock market decline by 90% and 100% annual inflation ... start at 2012.”
The facilitator questioned these statements, but Wiedmer showed the graphs as proof and added: “You see, the medicine can become a poison”. The interview showed that the financial "rescue" of the country, undertaken by Washington, failed ingloriously. The blame for this lies with Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke and the former Federal Reserve boss Greenspene.
Once Wiedemer challenged Bernanke, saying that his "money from heaven leads to hell."
In an interview with Wiedmer, realistic step-by-step problem solutions were proposed. The huge number of responses requesting the publication of this interview led to a well-known government reaction: the network administrations began to ban it. Bernanke and Greenspan, of course, were not eager to publicly support Wiedemer.
"People sat and made notes, and they asked us to publish an interview so that they could give links to it," says Aaron de Hug, publisher of Newsmax Financial, "but unfortunately they were still banned."
Comrade de Hug promised to make every effort to distribute video from the interview.
Yes, of course, we add on our own, and Big Brother will make his own efforts.

Donald, Donald. ... we always knew that.
Obama got into the story
19 June, delivering a speech in Berlin behind bullet-proof glass - a little shorter than the speeches of Secretary General Gorbachev, - the American president and Nobel laureate Barack Obama told the world community that the “cold war” is still going on, and this wrong. Speechwriter thought deepened: reading the text further, Obama said about the need for negotiations with Moscow and that it was time to go beyond the "cold" doctrine. A source "Kommersant", close to the US administration, said that Obama "hopes to make this initiative his main legacy." So, Barak Hussein was going to be noted on the tables of history.
We all love and respect the friendly American people, starting with its popularly elected president, for whom even 108% voted for somewhere in Ohio, and many electronic voting machines were not only “default” tuned to Barak Hussein, but also neither automatically switched after pressing a button from Romney to Obama. The man who drank his self-made beer, sweetened with medcom, in the Oval Office, while NATO forces bombed poor Libya, is truly worthy of respect. The one who is going to arm the cannibals, the rebels in Syria to the teeth, who negotiate with the Taliban in order to legitimize these terrorists in the eyes of the world community and set them up by election to the throne in Afghanistan, and from there continue to steer opium flows to Central Asia, who in Egypt, he approved of the “choice of the people”, when an ardent Islamist and “Muslim brother” Mursi broke through to power - he truly deserves not only respect, but also the Nobel Peace Prize. Finally, the one who is on a couple with George W. Bush is responsible for the total global surveillance-wiretapping, carried out by various electronic means, either by the NSA or the CIA, is perfectly suited to be captured on the cover of "Time" as a "man of the year" , even in the picture in dark colors. Dark tones - they are just right, Orwell's novel "1984" also can not be called comics.
Now Mr. Obama has once again decided to disarm Russia. It was as if Libya and Iraq were not, and there are no threats to Syria and Iran. And as if Washington does not have that right, which he himself ascribed to himself in the strategic doctrine: the United States can launch a preventive nuclear strike on any country, as soon as they feel the danger to themselves and their loved ones.
Italian artist Riccardo Boscolo (Riccardo Boscolo) creates vivid cartoons of famous people, politicians and film characters. Each of his work is a small story with a lot of details and meaning, which can be difficult to guess.
Of course, the cause of all is the crisis, budget sequestration and “defense” cuts (half a trillion dollars over 10 years). The White House does not have money not only for new weapons, but also for the maintenance of existing ones.
To cut back from himself, and at the same time in Russia, Obama decided quite a lot: to take away at once a third of the level determined by the treaty on strategic offensive arms of the year. So that in the Kremlin there is no doubt about his sincerity and decency, Barak Hussein proposed to carry out the procedure of reducing arsenals at the same time.
Russia, however, was skeptical of Obama’s initiative, and defense strategists sitting on Capitol Hill promised not to let Obama begin to move in the direction of cuts.
Thus, the renowned peacemaker Obama would rather get into the story than go into it.

Well, yes, Obamka right dove of peace. Now it will push to talk that good America wants to disarm, and the evil and insidious Russia is against. He is modestly silent about building up missile defense ...

Well, what to do, I really want a man to enter the History. And not anyhow, but from the main entrance, in laces and ribbons. But, creating his image, he somehow forgot that the figures of the historical process, on which all the play is calculated, are still alive and it is impossible to deceive them by cramming frank misinformation (USA is an exception). Virtually the entire educated world obsmeyal presentation of this Nobel Peace Prize. And pushing a lie to them now is the same as in May, 45 is boasting the American flag on the defeated Reichstag.

... With a humor, in the case ... Of course, we must enter into agreements with them, but only with caution and with an oh-very large FIGO in our pocket. And about the bulletproof glass ... Come to Russia - why not hide it behind him? Why not? Maybe he sleeps in it? Accustomed, you never know ... You can even donate. With engraving: “Huse from Vova”.

Bulletproof glass, security, police, helicopters, "drones”, blocked streets, total NSA surveillance, persecution of dissidents, active DHS (Department of Homeland Security). And also Libya in 2011 and talk about arming the Syrian cannibals. This Nobel peacemaker is the face of war, external and internal.
