During the week (23 of September) a summit of the CSTO member states (Collective Security Treaty Organization) was held in the Sochi sanatorium “Rus”. The presidents of Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus and Tajikistan gathered in Sochi to hold the summit. Kazakhstan this time was represented by Prime Minister Serik Akhmetov. At the Sochi summit, the presidency of this military-political alliance passed from Kyrgyzstan to Russia.
The summit discussed the Russian initiative to take the Syrian chemical weapons under international control. This idea was supported by delegates. In addition, they supported the initiative to help Tajikistan strengthen the border with Afghanistan. After all, the Tajik-Afghan border is the southern border of the CSTO, and after the withdrawal of the so-called allies (the ISAF contingent) from Tajikistan, the “most interesting” can begin. There is, let's say, some possibility that the Afghan government supplied by the gentlemen will not last long, and the Afghan "security forces" will be released their beards the next day after the withdrawal of the Americans and other "civilizers", they will get the good old Kalash out of the closet and - forward to the Taliban ...
In general, the summit was held on a calm wave, but it didn’t do without the “highlight”. It was introduced by the Armenian President Sargsyan, who criticized the states that are members of the CSTO and somewhere on the side of adopting “anti-Armenian” resolutions. It went to Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan for the indirect support of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Sargsyan was allowed to speak out, let off steam, making it clear that the CSTO is not a place for discussions ...

Question. How to decide if the Armenians from the NKR do not want to be part of Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan wants the NKR to be part of Azerbaijan? There is no political solution. As it was not in Kosovo, in Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Ascetic:
In my opinion, the situation in the CSTO can be characterized as a rule 3-x "not":
uncertainty, instability and unpredictability. The CSTO bloc has never participated in the suppression and resolution of the conflict at the state or regional level. And, thank God, of course, but for a military man such a conflict will be the only measure of the effectiveness of the CSTO military structures.

Saakashvili and Yanukovych: "let's talk about it" ...
Exactly one month remains to “presidency” Mikhail Saakashvili. October 27 2013 in Georgia will pass presidential elections, after which this politician, whose independence has long been uncaused, will leave his post, freeing him for, let's hope, the politician who will not put bloody experiments on relationships among entire nations.
One of these cases occurred just the other day, when Saakashvili was behind the podium of the UN General Assembly. Many of those present (well, those who heard the name “Saakashvili” at all) imagined in what way the Georgian “lame duck” would give a speech, but few expected that Saakashvili would turn his speech into such a “clinic”. The impression was that Saakashvili did not give a speech, but told his own history diseases.
In general, of course, it is not only Saakashvili who has linked his speech at the UN podium with Russia. For example, Viktor Yanukovych decided to complain about Moscow, who is hurt by the way Russia “threatens Ukraine”. "Energetically crushes." Some Russian media, according to Yanukovich, go "even for some humiliation." Apparently, both Saakashvili and Yanukovych wanted the General Assembly delegates to give them their vests to which they could cry, remembering Russia with an unkind word.
By the way, in the speech of Saakashvili such words and phrases as “Russia”, “Putin”, the Soviet Union ”,“ KGB ”and“ Russian Empire ”were used more often than“ Georgia ”and“ Georgian people ”. Well, it's like a toothache: more often about teeth and dentists than about anything else ...
But after all, Saakashvili can be understood ... Yes, yes ... Where is he - a person with a diagnosis - still allowed to speak out? The Georgian parliament is not allowed. On the streets of Tbilisi and other Georgian cities throw eggs. When Saakashvili appears on one of the Georgian TV channels, the majority of citizens click on any other button on the console - even if it’s a television tuning table, but not Saakashvili ... I got it!
Here in the United Nations Saakashvili and performances arranges. Well, where else would the delegations of Myanmar or Honduras see a Caucasian, married to a Dutchwoman, speaking of Russia in English, impersonating Georgian and calling his country as well as one of the American states ...

Someone was expecting something else? I hoped that he, as an intelligent man, would keep silent, but the eater of ties was not at all intelligent, well, he showed himself to be an idiot, it became easier for him. Only the Russian representatives for nothing left, they showed that Saakashvili represents something else. I think it was necessary not to react at all or to laugh at him.

The Minister of Labor, Mr. Topilin, made another unique initiative the day before. This initiative is aimed at reducing unemployment in the country and bringing to the "official" work of those who are working today, but do not personally inform Topilina or our state as a whole. The initiative was born in the explicit spirit of humanism and social orientation ...
In order to reduce the unemployment rate in the country, Maxim Topilin makes a proposal that non-working people will not be able to receive free medical care.
Of course, it is necessary to increase tax collection, it is necessary to bring "gray" earnings to the public light ... No one argues. But simply the fact that a non-working (for objective reasons) a person who has been picked up, even if appendicitis, can be denied free medical care, raises questions to the Ministry of Labor and SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT. In the end, what kind of department will it be to determine whether a person does not work only officially, or does not work at all? Minister Topilin will be the precinct to connect to this monitoring, or immediately the prosecutor? A pregnant girl who did not have time to find a job before her marriage will also be denied free delivery? If so, then it is already some kind of ministry of SOCIAL STRESS - Minsotsnapryag.

I appeal to those who are for the initiative of the minister, such as from my taxes paid by freeloaders. Then let's cancel: allowances and all payments for children, cancel maternity leave, cancel maternity capital too, make pre-school and school education paid, no benefits for many children, parents should buy health insurance for children, housewives irrespective of children also cancel to support your children, I pay taxes, many will squeal at once, and if you cancel insurance for non-working people and this will be asked, you want to live according to the principle “my hut is on the edge”, so live if you want a child - pay for it complete, as a taxpayer, I do not want and do not have to keep your children ...
BotaniQ:
I read the reflections ... And 2 was surprised at the obvious things. First, they try once again to push the law in violation of the constitution. Secondly, the “noble goal” of this project of the Ministry of Labor should not be decided by them, but by the appropriate work of another state body that should monitor the collection of these taxes, so that the “unemployed” would not go to the bentley, and the wives of housewives of the oligarchs would pay taxes in our country, and moreover, to the full.
Passer:
A very "wonderful" project, and why should the government not go further? Do not work, do not pay taxes - shooting. At the same time, the government liquidates the social strata that burden it: pensioners and others. I have a good salary, taxes are paid in full, but the prospect of dying on the threshold of the clinic from banal pneumonia, if for some reason I lose my job, I’m totally not happy.
Revitalizing in the Arctic
In the administrative center of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District - in the 47-thousandth of Salekhard - the next (third in a row) International Arctic Forum is open. Its name is "The Arctic - the territory of dialogue". The forum is held under the auspices of the Russian Geographical Society (RGO), and is very representative. This time more than five hundred participants from various Russian regions, as well as from foreign countries arrived at Salekhard. Among the foreign guests are leaders of several states and international organizations: Olalavyur Ragnar Grimsson - the head of Iceland, Sauli Niinistö - President of Finland, high-ranking officials from the Arctic Council, including Patrick Borby.
In the meantime, Finnish President Niinistö conducts “Arctic dialogues” and launches projects on Yamal, his valiant army participates in Arctic exercises for which the Russian army, for some reason, was not called ... And the base of exercises called “Arctic Challenge 2013”, which remarkable, located a few dozen kilometers from the border with Russia. The Finnish army, of course, is not alone. She is assisted by units of the United States, Norway, Great Britain and the “neutral” air forces of Sweden. One of the objectives of the exercise is as follows: “the training of military units for operations aimed at stabilizing the region and enforcing peace”. Who are going to force 80 military planes of the above countries to the world in close proximity to Russian borders? Seals, gagar or, perhaps, accomplices of these "teachings" - Greenpeace activists on Prirazlomnaya? ..

"... Bach, yak kaka slashed!"
The main military department of the country is preparing a truly epochal innovation. Why epochal? Because it concerns the new symbols of the Russian army, namely, those signs and symbols that the world will see on the form of Russian military personnel, on the wings and sides of Russian military equipment. The idea of creating new symbols for a new army seems to be based on quite the right things: a new army, which means that the distinctive signs can be changed according to the new status. But only the ways to solve this serious issue by the Ministry of Defense, to put it mildly, are surprising.
Readers have already managed to look at these "spotlights" and, probably, appreciated them at their true worth ... If it seemed to someone that all these symbols were derivatives of one, and one directly connected with some other army (with which, most readers also guessed ...), then you are not alone with your suspicions. A well-known singer Sergei Mazaev, who was present at the meeting of the Public Council, also noticed that the emblems with stars in circles resemble American ones, which Sergey Shoigu reported. At the same time, Mazaev offered the services of a familiar artist who, in his words, can draw a quote: “a good emblem”. It was a clear unveiled hint that all the presented emblems can be classified as a sort of guano ...
13 offers from the Ministry of Defense shook this world! Pepsikolno-Fabrikozvezdno-American Aviation options were "to taste" a little less than anyone ... Why? Yes, because these graphic variations do not have anything in common with either heraldry or domestic military traditions, but they definitely give up copy-paste with certain additions. It remains “to the heap,” to “fully recognize” Russian servicemen “equip” not with shoulder straps with stars or stripes, but red (in circles, of course) inscriptions on a blue background: “private”, “captain” or “generalissimo”.

Rus_87:
I wouldn’t touch the emblems. The red stars on the wings and sides of our technology speak for themselves who is who, and without this pretentious phrase "ARMY OF RUSSIA".
OTTO:
Who is this inscription for? For his, so as not to forget, or for enemies? So for them you need to write not in Russian. But seriously the image on the heraldic signs of the inscriptions, except for the slogans, is bad form. If the emblem is not recognizable without a signature, what is this emblem?

Serdyukov and Co.: The sky in the box is not for us
Experts of the Investigative Committee could not obtain evidence from the defendants in the Oboronservis case against Anatoly Serdyukov. The main episodes of the charges against Evgenia Vasilyeva and Alexander Elkin may also not reach the court.
“We hoped to get direct evidence of Serdyukov’s participation in the dubious deals, but did not take into account a number of economic nuances. As a result, the testimony of the ex-minister could not be obtained, and there is practically no crime left in the incriminated episodes, ”the source of the Izvestia newspaper in the Main Military Investigation Department (GVSU) said.
According to investigators, the “Oboronservis case” can repeat the fate of the “gambling case”. Episodes related to the activities of the general director of the Slavyanka company, Alexander Yelkin, may not go to court. The same applies to episodes related to Eugenia Vasilyeva.
Well, well ... Apparently, the performance is included in the final action. Soufflero, extras and thick makeup did the trick. The result of the action is no one to blame. Everyone worked tirelessly. All missing money should be written off on the "little drum" or secret guests from the planet Nibiru. All acts of sales of military property to their desks at a reasonable price will be recognized as the greatest manifestation of innovative economic thought. Brilliant piece! The author of the scene!

The issue of responsibility of Serdyukov and the company is very painful for the citizens of Russia. At the moment, the authorities have clearly made it clear that there are "elected", "family members" - for whom there is their own, chosen justice. Does Putin really not understand that the Serdyukov case will have far-reaching consequences for the country and for him personally? Or he does not care about the citizens of Russia? Shame and disgrace. Do not want to plant Serdyukov and Co., do not plant - confiscate all property, incl. and from relatives (as suggested by Yevkurov), return the stolen property, deprive citizenship publicly and send it out of the country forever.

Russian-Belarusian exercises “West-2013”
Started a joint Russian-Belarusian strategic exercises "West-2013". During the maneuvers units of the armed forces of Russia and Belarus must perform a large number of combat training tasks. Ground forces, the navy, the air force, as well as internal troops participate in the exercises. The program of events is scheduled for a week and implies the active participation of all involved units.
The presidents of Russia and Belarus positively assessed the results of joint exercises that were held at the ranges of both countries. However, the heads of state also noted the need to improve the level of interaction.
Bad weather made its adjustments to the course of the exercises - squally wind, which sometimes exceeded the speed of 20 m / s. However, the exercises, they are like football, should be conducted in any weather, and therefore the cancellation of the landing from the air boards of military personnel and military equipment can be called a somewhat strange circumstance. It is encouraging that the Airborne Forces Commander Vladimir Shamanov, after cancellation by the Supreme Commander of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin) of landing, said that the Russian paratroopers were ready to carry out the tasks assigned to them even in this weather.
By the way, a number of foreign politicians and political scientists are alarmed by the name of the exercises - “West of 2013” ... We understand that their “Arctic challenge of 2013” should not be alarming, but their “West” is alarming. Nothing, the West needs to get accustomed to live at all cautiously, and then over 20 and over the years have clearly relaxed there ...

Arms Exhibition in Nizhny Tagil
The main event of the week was the international exhibition of arms and military equipment Russian Arms Expo-2013, which started on September 25 at the Prospector training ground near Nizhny Tagil. RAE-2013 deservedly bears the title of one of the world's largest military-technical salons. This year, the test site near Nizhny Tagil became a platform for demonstrating the products of more than 400 companies and organizations from several countries. The level of international interest in the exhibition is clearly shown by the fact that delegations from fifty foreign countries arrived at RAE-2013.
Russian Arms Expo-2013: exhibits and statements
400 companies from 40 countries of the world - it is more than a significant scale, indicating that interest in Russian-made military equipment in the world is only growing. Even competitors note this. Those who several years ago declared that RAE has no future today are forced to state: the Nizhny Tagil international exhibition is already beginning to dictate fashion, and in terms of organization too. The exhibition features state-of-the-art models of military equipment that have been deeply modernized and equipped with digital navigation and communications equipment, remote monitoring tools that facilitate the tasks assigned to their crews. Patrick Cola de Franc, general director of the EUROSATORY international exhibition of armaments who visited RAE for the first time, said that he was impressed by the exhibition in Nizhny Tagil and from more than an impressive number of those companies who expressed a desire to exhibit their equipment here.

Bloody Mukhtar
Last Saturday, armed with machine guns and grenades, people broke into the Westgate shopping center in Nairobi, Kenya. Among the dead were relatives of the Kenyan president.
The Islamist group Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the attack with the shooting and taking of hostages was revenge for the participation of the Kenyan troops in combat operations against Al-Shabab in Somalia. According to CNN, the group itself was published on the Internet by the names of attack aircraft - there were three Americans, two Somalis, a British, a Canadian, a Finn, and one Kenyan. However, the list was subsequently deleted.
On September 24, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyat announced the completion of a stripping operation against terrorists in the capital. The operation, which began after the militants seized the Westgate shopping center, lasted more than four days, Interfax.
The country was declared a three-day mourning for 67 victims of the terrorist attack. 62 people hospitalized. A total of at least 170 people suffered. According to Uhuru Kenyata, security forces arrested 11 attackers. Five terrorists were shot dead during the storming of the building.
According to the Daily Mail newspaper, the British subject Samantha Lewtewate (White Widow) could have participated in the attack.
A new review of Western newspapers from the Nairobi is dedicated to the atrocities "Foreign Press". An article in the British newspaper The Guardian got into the review.
“In the south of Somalia, 19 June after dark broke out a merciless civil strife. Competing groups, separated by personal, clan and ideological differences, opened fire from machine guns. The bullets flew, and the locals hid home, ”writes journalist Simon Tisdall in The Guardian. At the same time, a few days earlier there was a split in Al-Shabab. “Her nationalist wing was utterly broken, and the so-called supporters of world jihad, led by the radical emir of the group Ahmed Abdi Godan (also sheikh Mukhtar Abu Zubeir), seized power,” the author says. To achieve fame, Godane needed a large-scale operation. As a result, the June skirmish led to an attack on Westgate, Tisdall believes.
After becoming head of Al-Shabab, Godane swore allegiance to Osama bin Laden and even promised to strike the United States. In 2012, he joined Al-Shabab to Al-Qaida. This man claimed responsibility for the bombings in Kampala (Uganda) at the World Cup in 2010 (killed a person's 74).
The United States, Canada, Britain, France and other states, we will add, condemned terrorism in the Westgate shopping center. However, condemning terrorism in one place, the West supports it in another - in Syria ...

I work in Somalia. Al-Shababs are not Muslims, they organized terrorist attacks on Mogadishu during the holy month of Ramadan. None of the holy books says “to kill a person”, so these people simply use the name of Islam for personal gain and slander it.

These are the same sectarians as the Protestants (Judeo-Christians) of America and Melbritain in Christianity. They also stood at the origins of the birth of Wahhabism against the Ottoman Empire, which the Anglo-Saxons had to crush on Bl. East Bedouin Arab uprising and the Caucasus wars with Russia. Also, the Russian empire was crushed not without their participation. By the way, Orthodoxy always peacefully got along with traditional Islam.
Radical Islam is needed by the neocons of the world order in order to decompose the Islamic world from within, create chaos, disunite and plunge into medieval savagery so that the ideology of the exclusive American nation will prevail throughout the world.
Wahhabis can also be called Muslims, as are Baptists, Mormons, Evangelicals, and so on. Protestant branches can be called true Christians. As the first ones implant their ideology with weapons, so American Judeo-Christians export their “democratic” values by bombs ...

During Soviet times, such contradictions as now, on religious and national grounds in the world did not exist on such a monstrous scale. The Soviet Union not only supplied weapons to the countries of Asia, the Middle East and Africa ... We built schools, hospitals, factories, factories there ... The Institute of Friendship of Peoples taught students from all over the world (many people remember this with warmth and gratitude). After the collapse of the USSR, there was a generation of illiterate and poor people who were easy to manipulate and train to fight for some ephemeral ideas ... We in the Soviet Union did not live richly, but simply understood that the uneducated and poor are instability, blood that can spread throughout the world like a cancer tumor ... We are now seeing all this, and so far we are not able to help, alas. Here's a thought came ... Let's hope that common sense will win all the same ...

Sex, sacred and foreign
In a french newspaper «Le Monde» A note appeared under the name “Tunisians are sent to Syria for“ sexual jihad. ” (Source of translation - "InoSMI").
As the Tunisian Interior Minister, Lofty Ben Jeddu, said at a meeting of the National Constituent Assembly, Tunisian women go to Syria and meet the sexual needs of Islamic militants. He declared:
“They have sex with 20, 30, 100” by Islamists in the name of “jihad al-nikah” (“holy sex war”), and then “come back pregnant”.
The media write about hundreds of cases of this kind.
In addition to pregnancy, we add, these women are at risk of bringing home lice. Rarely washed militants cultivate these insects as sacred.

British silver coins
As Dmitry Zavodin writes ("Russian peacemaker"), the British newspaper "Telegraph" published an article by Richard Spencer under the heading "Bashar Assad ordered me to use chemical weapons, but I could not do that." The former Syrian brigadier, General Zaher Sakat, declares numerous instances of the use of toxic substances by government forces in Syria - of course, on the orders of Assad.
The fact that Sakat betrayed the country and ran over to the side of the enemy, the author of the article tells only in the middle of publication, accompanying the message with a comment that “the general saved hundreds of children” by refusing to follow the order to use chemical weapons.
Richard Spencer composed a whole thriller:
“Under the cover of darkness, Z. Sakat replaced the containers containing toxic substances with jerry cans with a solution of chlorine-based bleaching agents, thereby saving hundreds of children and other citizens.”
As for Assad, during the armed conflict, according to the defector, he used chemical weapons more than 30 times. And under no control of the UN, he is not going to transfer it.

No charisma, no figures, no wardrobe, but the queen
Ann Applebaum («The Washington Post»; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") in the article “Angela Merkel, Empress of Europe” tells the following about Angela Merkel: “She dislikes the media, is deprived of charisma, does not follow the figure, does not dress well”. And he continues: Merkel has “boring election campaigns, and private life is even more boring”.
At the same time, Merkel was elected chancellor for the third time and, therefore, the journalist concludes, and the leader of the whole of Europe. "Or, better to say, the empress of Europe, since Merkel in reality does not govern, but reigns."
What does it mean? The journalist explains: Merkel does not give orders, does not make demands, but sets some parameters and allows others to make their own choices.
For example, during the Greek crisis, Merkel did not publicly condemn the economic course of the Greek government, but it was on her instructions that the EU envoys insisted on “boring but important things” - saving measures.
Angela Merkel personifies what the Germans like: leadership without drama, the author believes. "Thanks to Merkel, Germany can be - in general, imperceptible to all - the dominant force in Europe."

Combat Latvians
The Latvian military and landowners - members of the Zemezardze voluntary paramilitary group ("Land Guard") - are on high alert. About this, as transmits "Lenta.ru", referring to DELFI, reported the newspaper "Latvijas Avize". According to the version distributed in the media, increased combat readiness in Latvia is associated with the Russian-Belarusian exercises Zapad-2013. Latvia seems to feel threatened by them.
And on weekends, a rumor spread in social networks that “alarm was declared in the Latvian army”. However, this information in the armed forces denied.
As for the information spread by “Latvijas Avize”, the Minister of Defense of Latvia Artis Pabriks said: “Soldiers must always be ready. If a commander decided to check his personal composition at the weekend, this is not yet a reason for discontent or alarm. ”
Earlier, the same Pabriks expressed concern in connection with the Russian-Belarusian exercises. In his opinion, they are not held for defense purposes.
“Zapad-2013 exercises” do not include military actions on Russian territory, they are directed against neighboring countries. If such exercises are conducted, hypothetical possibilities are not excluded, ”he noted.
In addition, the Latvian government closedly reviewed the report of the Ministry of Defense “On the Analysis of Military Threat”.
There is nothing to be surprised, we add from ourselves that from such government meetings and statements, the population massively migrates to the more developed countries of the European Union. There, in which case, and tanks more, and there is a job ...

Serbian fermentation
Mass media note that more and more votes are being distributed in Serbia in favor of joining the country instead of the European Union into the Customs Union, as well as in the CSTO. This is supported by the Russian Party, the Doors movement and the Democratic Party of Serbia. At a recent congress of Russian-Serbian friendship, some Serb party members expressed the need to abandon the EU integration course.
As the "Voice of Russia", with a proposal to join the CU, and then to the CSTO made several Serb parties. Slobodan Nikolic, Chairman of the “Russian Party in Serbia”, explained why his party favors cooperation with the Customs Union and why it does not “dream” of Serbia joining the EU.
“We stand for economic and, most importantly, military alliance. Three or four days ago, information appeared that Vladimir Putin said that after his visit to Serbia in December, he would offer to strengthen economic and military cooperation between our countries. ”
According to Comrade Nikolic, “the European Union is completely gone.” For this reason, “he is not interested in Serbia,” and Serbia is “not needed”. And then there's the Kosovo question. The press wrote that representatives of the EU, Nikolic said, spoke about the possibility of new ultimatums.
In the channel reportage "RT" It is noted, among other things, that Serbia and Montenegro today has a free trade zone with the Customs Union. At the congress of Russian-Serbian friendship, Serbian political analysts said that Serbia is the only country that has a very fine policy of avoiding integration with the West, formally trying to join the EU.
It is noted that the Serbian economy depends on large foreign investments.
As for the Serbian government, then, we add, it unequivocally stands for Serbia joining the EU - and not at all formally.
V. Kostunica, head of the Democratic Party of Serbia, negatively evaluated the agreement between Belgrade and Pristina signed in April of 2013. His words are quoted IA "REX", referring to the Serbian Beta news agency: The EU. This power is the killer of the state because it destroyed the Serbian state institutions in Kosovo. ”
At the end of June 2013, on "BBC" A photo appeared with a caption: “The EU is ready to embrace Serbia. Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic (face) and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso (back). ” The text of the relevant note refers to the fact that the leaders of the EU countries decided in the coming months to begin negotiations with Serbia, whose application for EU membership was laid on cloth due to Kosovo disputes. (After the April agreements, let us add, from which the West was so happy, the disputes at the official level quickly disappear).
The outcome of the June EU summit in Brussels suggests that the plan for negotiations with Serbia will be approved by the European Council by January 2014. This was stated by the chairman of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy. It is clear that the European Union is immediately ready to begin negotiations on Euro-Association with Kosovo. The status of an associate member will give the edge privileges in relations with the EU and will be a step towards full membership in the European Union.

Serbs have long been asking for Russia ... Why not take it! From a political and military point of view, it would be a great move! I imagine the cries: “The Russians seized the center of Europe !!”))))

If you correctly understood the article, Serbia’s interest is mainly economic. "Give money, let's be friends." Money, if badly managed, is stolen anyway, even if someone gives them. Serbia’s joining the CU is good for Russia for political reasons. Well, the money - Russia and so many who forgave and fed. There is no rapprochement with Russia, no money to give. IMHO.

The foreign ministers of 11 countries signed on September 26 in the UN a declaration on ending violence and discrimination against gay people, reports corr. RIA News" Petr Martynychev.
The document was signed by representatives of the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, El Salvador, France, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the USA.
The authors of the document stated: “We reaffirm our conviction that human rights are the property of everyone from birth. Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people should have the same rights as everyone else. ”
Speech and US Secretary of State John Kerry. He called the document historic and said: "We, having gathered here today, are really sending a clear and strong signal, and this is not just support for gays and lesbians around the world — it is support for the fundamental values of this organization (UN)."
Thus, we add, Mr. Kerry proclaimed the new "fundamental" values of the United Nations. The cause of world peace has been forgotten, and it has been replaced by the protection of disadvantaged LGBT people.
But that's not all Kerry said.
According to the US Secretary of State, societies that share common values become the best partners in the international arena.
Probably, we note with malice, he did not even understand how ambiguous his statement sounded.
Then Kerry turned to the topic of money. The adopted resolution, he noted, will allow millions of dollars to increase the amount of support that is being allocated, in particular, to organizations that protect the rights of sex minorities.
Human rights activists immediately took the floor. People from “Human Rights First” welcomed the adoption of the document, notes the correspondent. RIA "News". They named Russia among violators of the rights of non-traditional sexual orientation, and the US attributed it to the LGBT advocates leaders: “The US leadership remains decisive in the process of recognizing the rights of the LGBT community, recognizing that states should protect everyone from violence”.
Human Rights First has documented cases of deliberate violence against members of sexual minorities in many regions of the world, including Russia, South Africa and Uganda, ”the message says.
So go ahead, add from yourself, along with Kerry to defend the rights of disadvantaged gays in Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Why didn't they say anything about the Gulf monarchy? Is it because America leads an oil-dollar friendship with them? But after all, there are “gay men” after a short trial with curved sabers chopping their heads off!
In short, Kerry is in some way - historical - right. In the history of the UN began an unconventional period. Under the flag of blue ...
Incidentally, "BBC" notes that Russia, which adopted the law “On the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations among minors,” did not join the new UN declaration.

... Brazil and Argentina joined the UN Covenant in the UN. Not expected. If you compare this with the news about the ban in Brazil of children's toys that imitate weapons, I can not even imagine with what imitators children will now play with them ...
Dispute about exclusivity
America, intoxicated with its own exclusiveness, which Barack Obama recently recalled, considers itself the bearer of a liberal ideology and sees itself in the front ranks of freedom fighters for individuals all over the world. However, not America, but Russia gains ever greater prestige on the planet. The reason for the strengthening of Moscow in the international arena is the unceasing attempts of the Russian leadership to resolve the Syrian crisis by peaceful means.
Professor-philosopher, author of more than 40 books and head of the Turkish industrial group "Bash Shirkatlar Grub" Haydar Bash website yenimesaj.com.tr (translation source - Mixednews.ru) clearly spoke on the subject of who and why today can be a leader on the world stage.
According to the scientist, the peoples of the world do not want to participate in wars for resources and play the role of extras in the play called “The Arab Spring”. And this unwillingness of mankind to fight better than others realized Putin. It was he who in a peaceful way prevented a war against Syria, the author notes.
The desire of the newspaper “New York Times” to show the new world leader is connected with Putin’s peace initiatives on Syria. In essence, Putin’s mission to protect the property, life, honor of the Muslim world from oppression of the United States and Israel is demonstrated, the writer said.
The world was waiting for the new center, which would support the world and keep the aggressors, and waited. The scientist calls Russia such a center. The author calls Vladimir Putin the world leader.
But look from the other side.
In the edition "Newsday"Registered on Long Island, 16 September was published an article by Katie Young. A publicist pretty hard ironic about how Vladimir Putin, who recently pricked B. Obama in American exclusivity in the New York Times, “conveniently” forgot about the exclusivity of the Russians.
Kathy Young herself knows something about the roots of Russian exclusivity. The latter, judging by the text, rests on the idea of the "superiority" of paternalistic power and collective ties over individual rights. It is dangerous to encourage such an ideology, the journalist says without hesitation.
The Young article has this passage:
“There are a lot of naglost. Putin's lecture belongs with the latter. If you’re in the world? Moreover, Putin’s entire political career exploiting this messianic nationalism.
Young was not too lazy to transliterate the Russian noun "insolence". The journalist speaks about Russian anecdotes, which mention the concepts of "impudence" (naglost) and super-inhibition (super naglost). Putin’s “lecture” belongs to the latter category. Apart from Russia, there is no other such country in the modern world, according to Young, whose culture would also be saturated with the idea of unique greatness. In addition, the exploitation of “messianic nationalism” is the key to Putin’s entire political career, the author believes.
In January, 2012, shortly before returning to the presidency, Putin wrote an article for "Independent newspaper", in which he declared: "The great mission of the Russians is to unite, fasten civilization." He allegedly, is a journalist, spoke of the role of ethnic Russians in a multinational country, but in combination with a well-known nostalgia for the Soviet empire, Putin’s words point to a grandiose vision of Russia's primacy in the world.
Network commentators on the article Young spoke in favor of both American exclusivity and against it.
For example, stopbiggov believes that American exclusivity was based on freedom and for the sake of freedom, but Obama pays little attention to this concept, all the while trying to belittle the position of the United States.
Reader reaganwasright sure: Americans are different from people in any other country. The USA is the only country that welcomed migrants in due time, as a result of which it acquired the best and brightest representatives from all over the world. No other country has offered such conditions. This commentator calls Putin a “thief” and writes that all former branches of Russia have passed to members of the Politburo (in the original, “Politoboro”) and their friends. Putin and his team stole billions from the Russian people, believes reaganwasrightso "let's not praise Putin too much."
SarK0Y, speaking of exclusivity, remarks that the unions of egoists are always doomed to failure. In this he finds the reason why Russia survived on such a difficult path. Russia has never been an empire, this reader believes, it is a union of various nations.
Visitor shrubs notes that American exclusivity is based on the capture of countries or the planting of governments. The US is interested in oil, other resources and wealth, labor, as well as territory for military bases. It all comes down to making a profit, the reader notes. After World War II, no other country has destroyed so many millions of people and has not ravaged so many countries as one state did. The commentary author lists: Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, the countries of Central and South America, Iran and others. Around this state has made enemies. Reminds shrubs about the atomic bombs in Japan, and about Agent Orange, and cluster bombs, napalm, white phosphorus, depleted uranium, etc. "You know," he bitterly ironizes, "we are an exceptional nation." In postscript shrubs notices that America without Russia would have lost the Second World War.
Mrs. Young, add on my own, should ask two questions. First: so whose “exclusivity” is more dangerous? And second: where will the individualists lead their road to freedom?

Americans are really so stupid that they believe the letter in the letter to all that their government says. I recently managed to debate with one American about their world politics. He was sure that America brings peace and democracy throughout the world, but this is before his communication with me, and then he became very thoughtful. In addition to many facts in their favor, I also told how the history of America began (with the seizure of the territory of North America by occupation, the genocide of the Indians, their women, children, they were poisoned, and all sorts of diseases started). By the way, and now the Indians are destroyed by soldering them, they were driven into reservations. Their life expectancy is two times lower. american

In vain you are so with him. The collapse of a worldview is a dangerous thing. God forbid, buy a rifle and begin to wet their own fellow citizens - for the genocide against indigenous peoples.
