Ministry of Defense-Ministry of Finance. 1 Account: 0
The Russian Ministry of Defense kept the costs of the state armaments program up to 2020 unchanged. This was stated by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. According to him, the state program of armaments retained all the parameters “both in terms of quantity and timing”, allowing to increase the share of modern equipment in the Armed Forces to 30 percent to 2017 and 80 percent to 2020.
It would seem, nothing particularly interesting in this news and no. Well, preserved and preserved ... However, in fact, the Ministry of Defense managed to win by no means a joke battle with the Ministry of Finance and individual successors of the ideas of Alexei Kudrin. Not long ago, the Ministry of Finance proposed to “somewhat change” the plans for implementing the army re-equipment program - we will postpone some expenses “for later”, reduce the amount of funding (crisis, you know) so that the 50% new technology is enough for the troops - and nothing terrible it will be ... Suppose, they say, it is better to lie in a dollar jug and warm someone's soul. But the Ministry of Defense, at least at the moment, turned out to be a tough nut to crack - the Ministry of Finance is going to the dentist ...

The hypothetical prize “Politician-Man” during the week would be fair to present to the Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko. Of course, the personality of Lukashenka himself can be treated differently, and this is a personal matter of each person (both Belarusian and non-Belarusian). That's not the point. The essence of the words that the other day the President of Belarus said in an interview with Kazakhstan television channel 24KZ. Alexander Lukashenko argued on various topics, among which was the topic of Syria and the desire of certain countries to solve the Syrian conflict by external military intervention. In this context, the theme of the “exclusivity of the American nation” also surfaced. And here Alexander G. made a number of comments, by which it is simply impossible to pass with indifference.
Unfortunately, not every modern leader of the state can afford to call white white, and black - black. The Belarusian leader did this, recalling that it’s already very strange for Obama to talk about exclusivity to Barak. Some gentlemen immediately recalled that the slavery and segregation mentioned by Lukashenka in the USA practically did not differ from serfdom, which existed in Russian open spaces until 1861. Well, firstly, this, to put it mildly, is not quite so, and secondly, Lukashenko doesn’t speak about the uniqueness of the Belarusian people, that's what's the matter. And in general in the modern world, sensible politicians understand that “exclusivity” is a twofold thing, and even more so they understand that talking about it from the stands gives it a Nazi stench. Obama apparently does not understand this. Well, one didn’t understand at one time either ...

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin
After such news, I just want to say: the kindness of our president has no limits ... He is restrained, you know. True, that is typical, so far only to the ministers - to the constructional components of the vertical ... They did not fulfill the instructions of the president - he punished, they continued not to fulfill the instructions of the president - he pardoned. It turns out that a stable failure to comply with presidential orders and decrees is also a sign of stability. Hmmm ...

October 2 on the website "Military Review" was published material "What lies behind the pseudo-Muslim screen, or Guest radicalism in Moscow." The material was devoted to how in the very center of Moscow, pseudo-Muslim preachers are trying to drive into the heads of Muslims the idea that Russia is a hostile state towards Islam. The material was described video with the "preaching", posted on Youtube. And the video itself, we did not lay out, so as not to create him some kind of advertising. In addition, an appeal was sent to the moderators of the Youtube resource with a proposal to remove this extremist video. Moderators Yutyuba on the proposal did not respond. But the representatives of the Russian special services worked much more quickly.
Conducting special actions to detain pseudo-Islamic "preachers" in Russian cities should be systematic. For obvious reasons, it’s impossible to stop arresting one, because the true owners of these “talkers” will at any time make it so that “the detachment does not notice the loss of a fighter” - they will gain new ones. So here you also need to thoroughly pickle the "wasp nest" itself. Yes, and the work of Internet resources, publishing materials obviously extremist sense, special services do not need to look beyond the fingers. One such video can lead to terrorist tectonics of entire regions.

Ukrainian military-fishing bikes
President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych October 1 took part in demonstration and tactical exercises of the Armed Forces, which took place at the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region. The head of state launched the STUGNA-P anti-tank guided missiles. One of them, as reported by Segodnya, landed in a lake, and a fragment of the second flew over the head of the president.
One of the fired rockets hit the Zavadovsky reservoir in the village of Grushev. At this time, according to Comments.ua, on the shore of the lake there were six tents with tourists. According to eyewitnesses, the shock wave was of such strength that it almost knocked down these tents.
HistoryOf course, amazing. It is surprising in several points at once. Firstly, do the Ukrainian military really have such “humorists” that they will conduct exercises in that place where people are resting (fishing) ... Secondly, even if we assume that “humorists” are present in the Ukrainian army, then, excuse me, rozhna made at the military training ground "vacationers" with their tents? We didn’t try to rest at Kapustin Yar? .. Or they did rest after all outside the military range, but then you need to allow another option: either the range of the ATGM in Ukraine is such that they fly many miles outside the site, used for shooting practice, or this section itself is limited to the front garden area ... Thirdly, if the fragments fly over the head of a person who arrived to observe the exercise, then which side did the shooting at all ...
The military itself claims that the explosions on the lake were the work of poachers who were conducting their “exercises” on killing fish at the same time that Yanukovych fired anti-tank guided missiles. Maybe they shot back ...

Explosion at the border
Ukrainian border guards have switched to an enhanced border guard regime with Russia. This decision was made after a man blew himself up and two border guards while passing through passport control at the Bachevsk checkpoint in the Sumy region. The work of the checkpoint is temporarily terminated, all vehicles are redirected to the neighboring border crossings. According to preliminary data, the attacker was hiding in the cabin of the bus with Moldovan numbers, traveling from the Russian side.
It is noteworthy that some “early” media outlets, based on data on the figure of a minibus with Moldovan numbers in this situation, concluded that a “Moldavian shahid” committed a terrorist attack on the Russian-Ukrainian border. An amazing combination of words ... If a number of media outlets continue at this rate, then, for example, gypsy shahids, well, or some Mongolian Hasidim will soon appear on the newspaper pages ...
The investigation, meanwhile, has established that the one who blew himself up at a checkpoint was a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria. The year of his birth is 1982. However, it was also a big question how it was established so quickly - after all, the Ukrainian border guards themselves said that the passport belonged to another person.
In the district hospital of the Ukrainian city of Glukhov there are two wounded border guards. We wish them a speedy recovery.
The border checkpoint has been resumed.

Teachings on navy
On Friday, the Northern Fleet forces carried out launches of sea-based and land-based cruise missiles at targets in the central part of the Barents Sea, the press service and information department of the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
"In accordance with the combat training plan, eight start-ups were made, targets that were distant from 60 to 400 kilometers, were successfully hit," the management clarified.
"Missile launches were carried out in order to verify the readiness of various types of naval and coastal missile systems to hit surface naval targets located at different distances."
In the current geopolitical situation, it would be desirable for such exercises to be regular. The struggle for Arctic resources is already unfolding. Attempting to land on the Russian drilling platform of Greenpeace activists to prevent work is an example of the fact that all means are good for fighting against Russian interests. In this connection, the exercises of the Northern Fleet should show our "partners" that the most ideal means for protecting the environment from "partners" is our surface and submarine missile cruisers ...

Switzerland vs France
Nicolas Dufour ("The weather"; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") told that at the end of August the Swiss armored forces conducted exercises. Their script caused laughter: Armed units would invade Switzerland from the territory of the French Department of Jura.
The Swiss military invented that neighboring France could not withstand the financial crisis and collapsed into several independent regions. One of them, Sona, threatens to send troops into the territory of the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland. To prevent the invasion, Switzerland should write off “Sonya” debts.
Scenarios of maneuvers always seem ridiculous, says the commander of the 1-th armored brigade, Daniel Berger. The general said: "I adore France, there was no question of somehow denigrating her, and if someone from the French was offended, I apologize to them."
Now, let us add, the French president and the socialist Hollande should also conduct exercises aimed at freeing oppressed Switzerland from the domination of banking capital. The slogan of the teachings: "The expropriation of the expropriators."

Swedish way of the Internationale
Publicist Israel Shamir published in the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" article "Look at Sweden before it is washed away." The author reported that fifteen thousand Syrian refugees had arrived in Sweden, and taking into account the families of the latter, the number of migrants who arrived would grow to one hundred thousand.
For sensational information about the unprecedented mass influx of migrants from Syria, Nikolai Starikov clung, suggesting that Sweden, on the instructions of the United States, would take care of and feed the cadres “for a future war in Central Asia, in Russia, in China.” The old men even wrote that the entire "terrorist international" would move to the country of the skerries.
What a horror, add on my own. Well, and then these terrorists, of course, bearded, and with the Kalashnikovs, showing new Swedish passports on the border, will rush to Russia in thousands to build a Sharia state there and cut off the heads with the wrong ones. Apparently, this is exactly what the Swedes, who are extremely afraid of aggressive Russians, are ready to trample Sweden, and inadvertently Finland, to the music of the ABBA quartet.

John Kerry, a friend of bearded
According to Vladislav Vorobiev ("Russian newspaper"), the international conference on Syria "Geneva-2" should be convened in November. But the question is: who will the Americans send there from the Syrian opposition?
The United States faces default. The owner of the White House is not up to Syria. And the first foreign policy positions put forward by John Kerry, who is tasked to bring the Syrian crisis to a diplomatic solution.
The Secretary of State had previously made it clear that he would be able to sit down at the negotiating table the Syrian opposition. However, in Syria, there is a real war for the redistribution of territories under control between various militant groups. And the warriors from al-Qaeda are more successful than others.
"The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" is fighting with the "Syrian Free Army." Militants accuse the SSA in collaboration with US and German intelligence services, embezzling humanitarian supplies and ... assistance to the Syrian regular army.
The SSA responded with a control restoration operation in Aleppo province. However, local observers are sure: the “moderate” forces simply do not have for such an operation. Most likely, al-Qaeda will establish control over oil, water and agricultural resources in northern Syria.
The situation is uncomfortable for Washington. The SSA may lose the inter-insurgency war. Who, then, will Mr. Kerry send to Geneva-2? Not al Qaeda members!
Well, why not? The aggressive peacekeepers from the White House, we will add from ourselves, and from the Congress too, have been repeatedly noted in ignorance of the situation in Syria. McCain was photographed with bearded men - kidnappers, believing them to be fighters for Syrian democracy, and the White House administration (still represented by H. Clinton and her assistants) repeatedly stated the heterogeneity of the opposition and that, unlike Libya, Washington does not have a clear concept of what this very opposition represents. However, to help the opposition Hillary was torn. The main thing after all - "Assad should go," and not the consequences. Such a “short” strategy continues now with John Kerry and his assistants. And in this sense, it would be quite logical (or insane - this is one and the same thing in the USA) if a detachment of bearded men, temporarily disguised in a civilian dress, arrived at the conference in Geneva. The word “sharia” in their speeches they will have to replace with “democracy”, that's all. A short mind and a short historical memory of American secretaries of state seem to exclude the further interest of bearded men no longer in Syria, but in America.

Peace, friendship, chewing gum
Not everyone in Iran approves of the speeches made by the new Iranian president. For example, in Tehran's Mehrabad Airport 28, September, Hassan Rouhani was thrown with stones, eggs and shoes. The conservatives did this, who did not like the fact that their president had a telephone conversation with Barack Obama. Obama himself believes that Rouhani is inclined to negotiate a nuclear issue because Iran is tired of economic sanctions. Analysts say that Rouhani’s rhetoric is much softer than his predecessor’s harsh style, Ahmadinejad. By itself, the conversation between the Iranian and American presidents is an important historical event: after all, in November 1979, after the seizure of the US Embassy in Tehran, relations between the two states were broken.
As transmits "BBC", Obama and Rouhani discussed in a telephone conversation an agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. The US President told his Iranian counterpart that serious barriers may arise in the process of concluding an agreement, and the success of the negotiations is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, the head of the White House believes that the leaders of the two countries will find a comprehensive solution.
The Iranian president, in turn, expressed the hope that an agreement on the nuclear issue would be concluded within three to six months.
The BBC correspondent Bridget Kendall reports that the Iranian leader was the initiator of the telephone conversations. The conversation lasted a quarter of an hour.
As the correspondent reports. RIA News" Alexey Bogdanovsky, President of the United States, said: “We understand the challenges ahead. The very fact that this was the first communication between the American and Iranian presidents since 1979 underlines the deep distrust between our countries, but it also indicates the prospect of leaving this difficult story behind. ”
In conclusion, Obama expressed confidence that the parties would be able to reach a comprehensive agreement.
However, the thing is, let's add on our own that America + Israel are waiting for Iran to take appropriate steps to open nuclear facilities, and Iran is waiting for concessions on sanctions from the United States. Each side wants the other side to step first.
And, no matter how experts comment on the word “perestroika” Rouhani, no matter how apt Persian conservatives throw their shoes on, nothing has changed in fact and is unlikely to change in the coming months. Tehran will implement the same program, Israel will still draw the “red lines”, and Obama will have to repeat his empty statements. And so it will be until ... You understood everything correctly, comrades.
It’s extremely difficult to imagine Comrade Rouhani in the role of a “perestroika” who could play the role of the Soviet Gorbachev in Iran. Firstly, the decisive voice is not with him, but with the Ayatollah. Secondly, it is difficult to imagine that the state leader would open the most important state secrets to overseas democratizers and let the western nozzles to the underground nuclear facilities. Third, both Israel and the United States possess nuclear weapons - and they do not teach other countries peace. In such an environment, Rouhani will find it extremely difficult to find and especially to show those qualities similar to those of the “acceleration” ideologist Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev who demonstrated to his people and the world community in the past century.

The Japanese government has banned regional administrations and government universities to use Google Maps. It turns out that the territories that Japan considers its own are marked on these maps in foreign languages. This is written by the Japanese media, reports the correspondent. RIA News" Ksenia Naka.
According to the Japanese government, one of the Senkaku islands is “wrong”: it has a Chinese name on Google. Four southern Kuril Islands are incorrectly marked: these turned out to be Russian territory. Finally, the Dokdo Islands are incorrectly named (among the Japanese, they are called Takeshima). Because of the last islands, Japan argues with South Korea.
Moreover, the Sea of Japan is for some reason designated as the East Korean.
And if so, then the government demanded that government agencies abandon the use of Google maps on official websites.

The Harmful Passion of a Nuclear Commander
Navy Vice Admiral Tim Jardine (the second highest officer in the management of US nuclear forces) was removed from office. The reason was his fascination with bets in the casino of Iowa, reports the television channel "Fox".
As transmits RBCJardin is still part of the Strategic Command, but he no longer has access to nuclear weapons. Obviously, his fate will be decided upon the results of the investigation.
In a career crash, the vice admiral is guilty himself.
One day, the casino discovered that the vice admiral was trying to cash out fake gaming chips.
Probably add on our own, the command decided that the next time the gambling vice-admiral would sell some nuclear warheads to some bearded Islamists.
The NSA and the CIA monitor everyone around the world, but first and foremost it is necessary to monitor their own people and in their own country.

Sexual spirit of the American army
Before the "shutdown" of the US government, which happened on 1 in October, one high-ranking officer from the Pentagon stated publicly that the cessation of funding for the state apparatus in the United States would be "another blow to the morale of the military and civilian contingent", which is "rather low". It was necessary, just in case, to explain to the general public that Defense Minister Chuck Hagel had the confidence of the people at the level of "from 70 percent and higher." This is what happens? And the fact that the American people are so stupid that they trust those who have low morale - and this spirit is about to become even lower. It seems to us that an unnamed Mr is right, and not a retired sergeant at all, but now millionaire and defense minister Hagel.
Channel "RT"referring to France-Press, he cites a statement by one of the Pentagon’s highest ranks that the cessation of funding for the US state apparatus would be “another blow to the fighting spirit of the military and civilian contingent”, which is “rather low”.
Speaking with reporters, Defense Minister Chuck Hagel acknowledged that the Americans are losing confidence in the country's institutions, a correspondent reports. ITAR-TASS Andrey Shitov.
True, the Pentagon chief said that the US armed forces are trusted by the people - at the level of "from 70 percent and above." “But all the others have record lows,” he noted for comparison.
Where would the people’s trust come from, Mr. Hagel? Especially against the background of the 2012-2013 scandals, due to which the adjective “combat”, which in military lexicon usually goes idiomatic couple to the noun “spirit”, did the press replace for a long time with “sexual”?
Last year, brigadier general Sinclair distinguished himself with massive sexual predilections. In May, 2012 rushed him send from Afghanistan to their homeland, where they filed a number of accusations: in repeated violence, and in sodomy, and in illegal sexual behavior, as well as other sex crimes, the victims of which were usually women - subordinates of Jeffrey A. Sinclair. The most significant were the rape charges of five women, of which four were subordinates of the general. In addition, Sinclair threatened the death of one of the victims, trying to make her silent. Not a general, but a duke from Marquis de Sade's novel 120 days of Sodom. This commander was caught on the little things - illegal possession of alcohol and pornography. He also became famous for not following orders from his superiors. What kind of "morale" is there?
In early August, 2012, two US Air Force instructors were convicted sexual abuse case at the Lackland Air Base military training center in San Antonio, Texas. Their victims were at least 38 trainees, and the entire case was held 15 instructors who are violent. In total, about half a thousand teachers work at the base. The main case was passing Sergeant USAF Louis Walker. A court martial accused him of numerous rapes and sexual harassment under aggravating circumstances. Rape this Mr. preferred female recruits.
According to the channel information Al Jazeera, only for 2011 a year about 3200 rape and sexual harassment was officially registered in the US military. At the same time, the Pentagon had to admit that this number was only 15% of all incidents.
And women do not necessarily suffer. In 2010, about 50 thousands (!) Of male veterans confirmed their “military sexual injury”. They reported this to the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
In the newspaper "Work" recently published the latest "reports" from the US sexual fronts. The author of the material is Oleg Evseev ("Stringer Bureau of International Investigations").
Among other things, it is mentioned that a private video recording of the rape of a six-year-old girl was found in private Joshua Klein. However, the command did not take the offender into custody and did not inform the victim’s mother. And the military pedophile again raped the child! Now a lawsuit of thirty million dollars has already been filed rather than against the rapist, but against the command, which pulled the case on the brakes, the journalist said.
And here is what Satsuki, a Japanese 16, recalls:
In Japan, as noted in the material, dozens and hundreds of girls can tell such stories. But do not tell. For the Japanese, shame from the experienced humiliation is truly terrible.
Investigations of such cases are conducted by the American military police. And what? .. Documented 45000 incidents involving US soldiers in Japan, including fatal 512. Not a single case ended up in prison. And 40% of the accused did not even suffer an administrative penalty.
According to the Pentagon, in 2012, in the US Armed Forces, 3374 cases of sexual violence were reported. But an anonymous survey of a special commission revealed that in 9 of 10 cases, victims of violence did not report incidents. It turns out that last year 26 thousands of people became victims of violence in the US Armed Forces. 700 rapes are committed daily in the army.
So what did you say about high confidence in the army, Mr. Hagel?

Kirdyk crept unnoticed
Republicans and Democrats in the United States failed to agree on the budget for the new fiscal year on time (October 1 arrived). Republicans deliberately put sticks in the wheels of the Obama administration: the latter has already dropped its rating extremely low, and now, after hundreds of thousands of civil servants remain without salaries, Americans will remember Barak Hussein as the worst president at all times.
Military personnel and civilians working for the benefit of the Pentagon, as well as many other officials totaling about 3 million, will be left without salary (will be sent on unpaid leave). A significant part of their walks already from the 2-th number. In the United States, mail, weather forecasts, and some special agencies ensuring national security are fully operational.
President Obama was left without economic advisers, cooks, laundresses, even without personal protection.
On the topic of the coming American and global crisis, he argued in "New York Times" economist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman.
The default of the US government, which happens if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling in the near future, could lead to a financial catastrophe, the economist writes. Unfortunately, many Republicans either do not understand this, or do not think about it.
Yes, there was a "shutdown" before - under Clinton, between 1995 and 1996 years. And many observers have concluded that it is not so scary. This is partly true, the author says, but it is important to note that under Clinton, "shutdown" occurred against the backdrop of a rapidly growing economy. Today the USA has a weak economy, the author reminds. Therefore, the "off" can be a strong blow, especially if it lasts a long time. However, “switching off” is a trifle compared to what happens if Congress refuses to raise the national debt ceiling.
Immediate cuts in government spending will almost certainly plunge America back into recession. In addition, the inability to raise the ceiling will lead to the omission of payments on the existing debt of the government. And this is fraught with terrible consequences.
Financial markets have long been fed on US bonds. These papers have always been considered safe assets. The assumption that America will always pay its debts is the foundation on which the global financial system rests.
The mere assumption that US bonds will lose reliability means a violation of this entire system. Such a default will create a huge financial crisis, before which, the economist writes, will fade the crisis associated with the "Lehman Brothers" five years ago.
According to Krugman, no sensible political system would take such a risk. But we, he writes, do not have a sensible political system, we have a system in which a significant number of Republicans believe that they can force President Obama to cancel health care reform, threatening the government with "shutdown" or default, or both.
Arguments about the politics and economics of these people Krugman calls "delusional."
Republican radicals, he notes with irony, generally oppose scientific consensus on climate change. Also, many of them reject the theory of evolution. Is it possible to expect from these people that they will believe the experts who warn about the danger of default? ..

Tina Kaiser («Die Welt»; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") spoke about some curious manifestations of the American "off".
It turns out that a crisis can make a good business.
The owners of the pubs located around the White House and the Capitol began to earn money on mass vacations of civil servants.
For bored officials have come up with a special advertisement.
One zucchini posted a slogan on its website saying that “suspension of funding is only additional free time and an excellent reason to drink.” In another bar, the first portion of the cocktail is poured in to the vacationers for free - but upon presentation of a certificate from a civil servant.
If the vacation drags on, add for yourself, then for Christmas, the United States will be managed by chronic alcoholics.

They did not fulfill the instructions of the president - he punished, they continued not to fulfill the instructions of the president - he pardoned. It turns out that a stable failure to comply with presidential orders and decrees is also a sign of stability. Hmmm ...

October 2 on the website "Military Review" was published material "What lies behind the pseudo-Muslim screen, or Guest radicalism in Moscow." The material was devoted to how in the very center of Moscow, pseudo-Muslim preachers are trying to drive into the heads of Muslims the idea that Russia is a hostile state towards Islam. The material was described video with the "preaching", posted on Youtube. And the video itself, we did not lay out, so as not to create him some kind of advertising. In addition, an appeal was sent to the moderators of the Youtube resource with a proposal to remove this extremist video. Moderators Yutyuba on the proposal did not respond. But the representatives of the Russian special services worked much more quickly.
Conducting special actions to detain pseudo-Islamic "preachers" in Russian cities should be systematic. For obvious reasons, it’s impossible to stop arresting one, because the true owners of these “talkers” will at any time make it so that “the detachment does not notice the loss of a fighter” - they will gain new ones. So here you also need to thoroughly pickle the "wasp nest" itself. Yes, and the work of Internet resources, publishing materials obviously extremist sense, special services do not need to look beyond the fingers. One such video can lead to terrorist tectonics of entire regions.

Ukrainian military-fishing bikes
President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych October 1 took part in demonstration and tactical exercises of the Armed Forces, which took place at the Yavoriv training ground in the Lviv region. The head of state launched the STUGNA-P anti-tank guided missiles. One of them, as reported by Segodnya, landed in a lake, and a fragment of the second flew over the head of the president.
One of the fired rockets hit the Zavadovsky reservoir in the village of Grushev. At this time, according to Comments.ua, on the shore of the lake there were six tents with tourists. According to eyewitnesses, the shock wave was of such strength that it almost knocked down these tents.
HistoryOf course, amazing. It is surprising in several points at once. Firstly, do the Ukrainian military really have such “humorists” that they will conduct exercises in that place where people are resting (fishing) ... Secondly, even if we assume that “humorists” are present in the Ukrainian army, then, excuse me, rozhna made at the military training ground "vacationers" with their tents? We didn’t try to rest at Kapustin Yar? .. Or they did rest after all outside the military range, but then you need to allow another option: either the range of the ATGM in Ukraine is such that they fly many miles outside the site, used for shooting practice, or this section itself is limited to the front garden area ... Thirdly, if the fragments fly over the head of a person who arrived to observe the exercise, then which side did the shooting at all ...
The military itself claims that the explosions on the lake were the work of poachers who were conducting their “exercises” on killing fish at the same time that Yanukovych fired anti-tank guided missiles. Maybe they shot back ...

It is strange that the ATGM raised the water column to 70-80 meters, I doubt that the high explosive 152 mm will raise such a pole. And how could fishermen be in the shooting sector?

Gur:

Rocketman:
Brad, of course, complete. I’ll also tell you something, so to speak, as a version — at the same time, as LOCAL residents showed (and this is documented), in the Grushev area, the Polish An-300 (forest patrol) flew into Ukrainian territory on 2 meters. Nobody saw it, but they saw it. Neither PVOshniki, nor the border guards did not see. The question is - what did the local people smoke and which mushrooms did they collect? Similarly, the fishermen - initially the information was passed on only two fishermen, who saw that something had fallen into the lake. By the way, it is located in 20 km from the landfill. That's all. And then, after a couple of bottles, everything is like fishing: “I’m pulling, and there - oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, such a fish is a hundred kilogram of catfish, and a three-ton rocket behind it how babahnet "
Explosion at the border
Ukrainian border guards have switched to an enhanced border guard regime with Russia. This decision was made after a man blew himself up and two border guards while passing through passport control at the Bachevsk checkpoint in the Sumy region. The work of the checkpoint is temporarily terminated, all vehicles are redirected to the neighboring border crossings. According to preliminary data, the attacker was hiding in the cabin of the bus with Moldovan numbers, traveling from the Russian side.
It is noteworthy that some “early” media outlets, based on data on the figure of a minibus with Moldovan numbers in this situation, concluded that a “Moldavian shahid” committed a terrorist attack on the Russian-Ukrainian border. An amazing combination of words ... If a number of media outlets continue at this rate, then, for example, gypsy shahids, well, or some Mongolian Hasidim will soon appear on the newspaper pages ...
The investigation, meanwhile, has established that the one who blew himself up at a checkpoint was a resident of Kabardino-Balkaria. The year of his birth is 1982. However, it was also a big question how it was established so quickly - after all, the Ukrainian border guards themselves said that the passport belonged to another person.
In the district hospital of the Ukrainian city of Glukhov there are two wounded border guards. We wish them a speedy recovery.
The border checkpoint has been resumed.

That's when there will be information about the remaining four Moldovans, then it will be possible to figure out that this is an attempt to illegally cross the border as a lone criminal, possibly with a threat to the Moldovans, or a group of recruiter and four wards. And, as for the “Shmona” on the border, all our guest workers say so: when checking the customs on the Russian side, we are treated normally, and ours would not be able to see them. And the problems are not in suspicion, but in the greed of customs.
Teachings on navy
On Friday, the Northern Fleet forces carried out launches of sea-based and land-based cruise missiles at targets in the central part of the Barents Sea, the press service and information department of the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday.
"In accordance with the combat training plan, eight start-ups were made, targets that were distant from 60 to 400 kilometers, were successfully hit," the management clarified.
"Missile launches were carried out in order to verify the readiness of various types of naval and coastal missile systems to hit surface naval targets located at different distances."
In the current geopolitical situation, it would be desirable for such exercises to be regular. The struggle for Arctic resources is already unfolding. Attempting to land on the Russian drilling platform of Greenpeace activists to prevent work is an example of the fact that all means are good for fighting against Russian interests. In this connection, the exercises of the Northern Fleet should show our "partners" that the most ideal means for protecting the environment from "partners" is our surface and submarine missile cruisers ...

Switzerland vs France
Nicolas Dufour ("The weather"; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") told that at the end of August the Swiss armored forces conducted exercises. Their script caused laughter: Armed units would invade Switzerland from the territory of the French Department of Jura.
The Swiss military invented that neighboring France could not withstand the financial crisis and collapsed into several independent regions. One of them, Sona, threatens to send troops into the territory of the French-speaking cantons of Switzerland. To prevent the invasion, Switzerland should write off “Sonya” debts.
Scenarios of maneuvers always seem ridiculous, says the commander of the 1-th armored brigade, Daniel Berger. The general said: "I adore France, there was no question of somehow denigrating her, and if someone from the French was offended, I apologize to them."
Now, let us add, the French president and the socialist Hollande should also conduct exercises aimed at freeing oppressed Switzerland from the domination of banking capital. The slogan of the teachings: "The expropriation of the expropriators."

The Swiss are preparing their entire history for this. In terms of combat capability and ability to mobilize, they are an order of magnitude ahead of all countries in the world. How do you mobilize 2,1 million people for 3 (three !!!) days? And it will not be a herd of rags, but full-fledged reservists, already armed. And everyone knows their place in the military machine of Switzerland. This is the state of their armed forces, regularly checked exercises. Full mobilization is not carried out, but each brigade is regularly deployed on a full staff, and the reserve units are also regularly deployed. By mobilizing their number of NE will be higher than that of the French, for example. And they are preparing constantly.
Swedish way of the Internationale
Publicist Israel Shamir published in the "Komsomolskaya Pravda" article "Look at Sweden before it is washed away." The author reported that fifteen thousand Syrian refugees had arrived in Sweden, and taking into account the families of the latter, the number of migrants who arrived would grow to one hundred thousand.
For sensational information about the unprecedented mass influx of migrants from Syria, Nikolai Starikov clung, suggesting that Sweden, on the instructions of the United States, would take care of and feed the cadres “for a future war in Central Asia, in Russia, in China.” The old men even wrote that the entire "terrorist international" would move to the country of the skerries.
What a horror, add on my own. Well, and then these terrorists, of course, bearded, and with the Kalashnikovs, showing new Swedish passports on the border, will rush to Russia in thousands to build a Sharia state there and cut off the heads with the wrong ones. Apparently, this is exactly what the Swedes, who are extremely afraid of aggressive Russians, are ready to trample Sweden, and inadvertently Finland, to the music of the ABBA quartet.

Again the famous storyteller Shamir. In general, he, as a rule, mows under an Israeli (having lived in Israel, in my opinion, 6 years), and has been living in Sweden for more than 35 years. The most interesting is that his articles about Israel are perceived almost as the last resort. In which he, hating the Jews, writes about that terrible life among the Arabs in Israel. But here to his famous Pravdorub his favorite Arabs came to his native Sweden. What started here. Of course the Arabs are easier to love when they are far away (for example, in Israel) than when suddenly they become your neighbors in Sweden. Here, of course, there is no order, it is necessary to start raising the universal whistle and blowing an elephant out of a fly (someone who, and Shamir knows how to do it). All this is sewn with white thread, Shamir the conjunctor, his articles can only be treated as a nasty little paper that does not convey the facts, but adjusts them exclusively to its worldview.
John Kerry, a friend of bearded
According to Vladislav Vorobiev ("Russian newspaper"), the international conference on Syria "Geneva-2" should be convened in November. But the question is: who will the Americans send there from the Syrian opposition?
The United States faces default. The owner of the White House is not up to Syria. And the first foreign policy positions put forward by John Kerry, who is tasked to bring the Syrian crisis to a diplomatic solution.
The Secretary of State had previously made it clear that he would be able to sit down at the negotiating table the Syrian opposition. However, in Syria, there is a real war for the redistribution of territories under control between various militant groups. And the warriors from al-Qaeda are more successful than others.
"The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" is fighting with the "Syrian Free Army." Militants accuse the SSA in collaboration with US and German intelligence services, embezzling humanitarian supplies and ... assistance to the Syrian regular army.
The SSA responded with a control restoration operation in Aleppo province. However, local observers are sure: the “moderate” forces simply do not have for such an operation. Most likely, al-Qaeda will establish control over oil, water and agricultural resources in northern Syria.
The situation is uncomfortable for Washington. The SSA may lose the inter-insurgency war. Who, then, will Mr. Kerry send to Geneva-2? Not al Qaeda members!
Well, why not? The aggressive peacekeepers from the White House, we will add from ourselves, and from the Congress too, have been repeatedly noted in ignorance of the situation in Syria. McCain was photographed with bearded men - kidnappers, believing them to be fighters for Syrian democracy, and the White House administration (still represented by H. Clinton and her assistants) repeatedly stated the heterogeneity of the opposition and that, unlike Libya, Washington does not have a clear concept of what this very opposition represents. However, to help the opposition Hillary was torn. The main thing after all - "Assad should go," and not the consequences. Such a “short” strategy continues now with John Kerry and his assistants. And in this sense, it would be quite logical (or insane - this is one and the same thing in the USA) if a detachment of bearded men, temporarily disguised in a civilian dress, arrived at the conference in Geneva. The word “sharia” in their speeches they will have to replace with “democracy”, that's all. A short mind and a short historical memory of American secretaries of state seem to exclude the further interest of bearded men no longer in Syria, but in America.

Peace, friendship, chewing gum
Not everyone in Iran approves of the speeches made by the new Iranian president. For example, in Tehran's Mehrabad Airport 28, September, Hassan Rouhani was thrown with stones, eggs and shoes. The conservatives did this, who did not like the fact that their president had a telephone conversation with Barack Obama. Obama himself believes that Rouhani is inclined to negotiate a nuclear issue because Iran is tired of economic sanctions. Analysts say that Rouhani’s rhetoric is much softer than his predecessor’s harsh style, Ahmadinejad. By itself, the conversation between the Iranian and American presidents is an important historical event: after all, in November 1979, after the seizure of the US Embassy in Tehran, relations between the two states were broken.
As transmits "BBC", Obama and Rouhani discussed in a telephone conversation an agreement on Tehran’s nuclear program. The US President told his Iranian counterpart that serious barriers may arise in the process of concluding an agreement, and the success of the negotiations is not guaranteed. Nevertheless, the head of the White House believes that the leaders of the two countries will find a comprehensive solution.
The Iranian president, in turn, expressed the hope that an agreement on the nuclear issue would be concluded within three to six months.
The BBC correspondent Bridget Kendall reports that the Iranian leader was the initiator of the telephone conversations. The conversation lasted a quarter of an hour.
As the correspondent reports. RIA News" Alexey Bogdanovsky, President of the United States, said: “We understand the challenges ahead. The very fact that this was the first communication between the American and Iranian presidents since 1979 underlines the deep distrust between our countries, but it also indicates the prospect of leaving this difficult story behind. ”
In conclusion, Obama expressed confidence that the parties would be able to reach a comprehensive agreement.
However, the thing is, let's add on our own that America + Israel are waiting for Iran to take appropriate steps to open nuclear facilities, and Iran is waiting for concessions on sanctions from the United States. Each side wants the other side to step first.
And, no matter how experts comment on the word “perestroika” Rouhani, no matter how apt Persian conservatives throw their shoes on, nothing has changed in fact and is unlikely to change in the coming months. Tehran will implement the same program, Israel will still draw the “red lines”, and Obama will have to repeat his empty statements. And so it will be until ... You understood everything correctly, comrades.
It’s extremely difficult to imagine Comrade Rouhani in the role of a “perestroika” who could play the role of the Soviet Gorbachev in Iran. Firstly, the decisive voice is not with him, but with the Ayatollah. Secondly, it is difficult to imagine that the state leader would open the most important state secrets to overseas democratizers and let the western nozzles to the underground nuclear facilities. Third, both Israel and the United States possess nuclear weapons - and they do not teach other countries peace. In such an environment, Rouhani will find it extremely difficult to find and especially to show those qualities similar to those of the “acceleration” ideologist Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev who demonstrated to his people and the world community in the past century.

Good day to all.
The 1979 revolution was called Islamic by its members, but in essence it was and remains a national revolution, since its most important goal was to free the country from the influence of foreign countries. Much of what was dreamed of, did not come true. Instead of leadership in the Middle East - the problem of isolation. In fact, Turkey is in the first place in the process of successful and comprehensive modernization ...
I think “velayat-e-fakih” would not hurt to reduce the confrontation, moreover, the steps taken by Rouhani could not be taken without blessing it.

A thin world is better than a good quarrel ... With the former leader, Iran could not unfold its foreign policy vector due to the harshness of Ahmadinejad’s character and his intransigence, too many harsh statements were made ... Now there is a chance to soften the situation and drag the US into the negotiation process, if only to delay time for tougher actions from their side of Israel ... How this negotiation process ends, now this is the tenth thing, the main thing is to soften the accents in the dialogue and gain time before a more advantageous foreign policy matic alignment of ... the US is weakened by internal problems, and the image of the aggressor does not add their points ...
Features of national geography
The Japanese government has banned regional administrations and government universities to use Google Maps. It turns out that the territories that Japan considers its own are marked on these maps in foreign languages. This is written by the Japanese media, reports the correspondent. RIA News" Ksenia Naka.
According to the Japanese government, one of the Senkaku islands is “wrong”: it has a Chinese name on Google. Four southern Kuril Islands are incorrectly marked: these turned out to be Russian territory. Finally, the Dokdo Islands are incorrectly named (among the Japanese, they are called Takeshima). Because of the last islands, Japan argues with South Korea.
Moreover, the Sea of Japan is for some reason designated as the East Korean.
And if so, then the government demanded that government agencies abandon the use of Google maps on official websites.

The Harmful Passion of a Nuclear Commander
Navy Vice Admiral Tim Jardine (the second highest officer in the management of US nuclear forces) was removed from office. The reason was his fascination with bets in the casino of Iowa, reports the television channel "Fox".
As transmits RBCJardin is still part of the Strategic Command, but he no longer has access to nuclear weapons. Obviously, his fate will be decided upon the results of the investigation.
In a career crash, the vice admiral is guilty himself.
One day, the casino discovered that the vice admiral was trying to cash out fake gaming chips.
Probably add on our own, the command decided that the next time the gambling vice-admiral would sell some nuclear warheads to some bearded Islamists.

Sexual spirit of the American army
Before the "shutdown" of the US government, which happened on 1 in October, one high-ranking officer from the Pentagon stated publicly that the cessation of funding for the state apparatus in the United States would be "another blow to the morale of the military and civilian contingent", which is "rather low". It was necessary, just in case, to explain to the general public that Defense Minister Chuck Hagel had the confidence of the people at the level of "from 70 percent and higher." This is what happens? And the fact that the American people are so stupid that they trust those who have low morale - and this spirit is about to become even lower. It seems to us that an unnamed Mr is right, and not a retired sergeant at all, but now millionaire and defense minister Hagel.
Channel "RT"referring to France-Press, he cites a statement by one of the Pentagon’s highest ranks that the cessation of funding for the US state apparatus would be “another blow to the fighting spirit of the military and civilian contingent”, which is “rather low”.
Speaking with reporters, Defense Minister Chuck Hagel acknowledged that the Americans are losing confidence in the country's institutions, a correspondent reports. ITAR-TASS Andrey Shitov.
True, the Pentagon chief said that the US armed forces are trusted by the people - at the level of "from 70 percent and above." “But all the others have record lows,” he noted for comparison.
Where would the people’s trust come from, Mr. Hagel? Especially against the background of the 2012-2013 scandals, due to which the adjective “combat”, which in military lexicon usually goes idiomatic couple to the noun “spirit”, did the press replace for a long time with “sexual”?
Last year, brigadier general Sinclair distinguished himself with massive sexual predilections. In May, 2012 rushed him send from Afghanistan to their homeland, where they filed a number of accusations: in repeated violence, and in sodomy, and in illegal sexual behavior, as well as other sex crimes, the victims of which were usually women - subordinates of Jeffrey A. Sinclair. The most significant were the rape charges of five women, of which four were subordinates of the general. In addition, Sinclair threatened the death of one of the victims, trying to make her silent. Not a general, but a duke from Marquis de Sade's novel 120 days of Sodom. This commander was caught on the little things - illegal possession of alcohol and pornography. He also became famous for not following orders from his superiors. What kind of "morale" is there?
In early August, 2012, two US Air Force instructors were convicted sexual abuse case at the Lackland Air Base military training center in San Antonio, Texas. Their victims were at least 38 trainees, and the entire case was held 15 instructors who are violent. In total, about half a thousand teachers work at the base. The main case was passing Sergeant USAF Louis Walker. A court martial accused him of numerous rapes and sexual harassment under aggravating circumstances. Rape this Mr. preferred female recruits.
According to the channel information Al Jazeera, only for 2011 a year about 3200 rape and sexual harassment was officially registered in the US military. At the same time, the Pentagon had to admit that this number was only 15% of all incidents.
And women do not necessarily suffer. In 2010, about 50 thousands (!) Of male veterans confirmed their “military sexual injury”. They reported this to the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
In the newspaper "Work" recently published the latest "reports" from the US sexual fronts. The author of the material is Oleg Evseev ("Stringer Bureau of International Investigations").
Among other things, it is mentioned that a private video recording of the rape of a six-year-old girl was found in private Joshua Klein. However, the command did not take the offender into custody and did not inform the victim’s mother. And the military pedophile again raped the child! Now a lawsuit of thirty million dollars has already been filed rather than against the rapist, but against the command, which pulled the case on the brakes, the journalist said.
And here is what Satsuki, a Japanese 16, recalls:
“They promised to teach me how to rap. In the hotel, they began to laugh at me and call me a whore. And when I was about to leave, they grabbed me. I began to scream, they hit me in the face and kept my mouth shut ... When I was left alone, I jumped out of the room and ran home. ”
In Japan, as noted in the material, dozens and hundreds of girls can tell such stories. But do not tell. For the Japanese, shame from the experienced humiliation is truly terrible.
Investigations of such cases are conducted by the American military police. And what? .. Documented 45000 incidents involving US soldiers in Japan, including fatal 512. Not a single case ended up in prison. And 40% of the accused did not even suffer an administrative penalty.
According to the Pentagon, in 2012, in the US Armed Forces, 3374 cases of sexual violence were reported. But an anonymous survey of a special commission revealed that in 9 of 10 cases, victims of violence did not report incidents. It turns out that last year 26 thousands of people became victims of violence in the US Armed Forces. 700 rapes are committed daily in the army.
So what did you say about high confidence in the army, Mr. Hagel?

Kirdyk crept unnoticed
Republicans and Democrats in the United States failed to agree on the budget for the new fiscal year on time (October 1 arrived). Republicans deliberately put sticks in the wheels of the Obama administration: the latter has already dropped its rating extremely low, and now, after hundreds of thousands of civil servants remain without salaries, Americans will remember Barak Hussein as the worst president at all times.
Military personnel and civilians working for the benefit of the Pentagon, as well as many other officials totaling about 3 million, will be left without salary (will be sent on unpaid leave). A significant part of their walks already from the 2-th number. In the United States, mail, weather forecasts, and some special agencies ensuring national security are fully operational.
President Obama was left without economic advisers, cooks, laundresses, even without personal protection.
On the topic of the coming American and global crisis, he argued in "New York Times" economist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman.
The default of the US government, which happens if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling in the near future, could lead to a financial catastrophe, the economist writes. Unfortunately, many Republicans either do not understand this, or do not think about it.
Yes, there was a "shutdown" before - under Clinton, between 1995 and 1996 years. And many observers have concluded that it is not so scary. This is partly true, the author says, but it is important to note that under Clinton, "shutdown" occurred against the backdrop of a rapidly growing economy. Today the USA has a weak economy, the author reminds. Therefore, the "off" can be a strong blow, especially if it lasts a long time. However, “switching off” is a trifle compared to what happens if Congress refuses to raise the national debt ceiling.
Immediate cuts in government spending will almost certainly plunge America back into recession. In addition, the inability to raise the ceiling will lead to the omission of payments on the existing debt of the government. And this is fraught with terrible consequences.
Financial markets have long been fed on US bonds. These papers have always been considered safe assets. The assumption that America will always pay its debts is the foundation on which the global financial system rests.
The mere assumption that US bonds will lose reliability means a violation of this entire system. Such a default will create a huge financial crisis, before which, the economist writes, will fade the crisis associated with the "Lehman Brothers" five years ago.
According to Krugman, no sensible political system would take such a risk. But we, he writes, do not have a sensible political system, we have a system in which a significant number of Republicans believe that they can force President Obama to cancel health care reform, threatening the government with "shutdown" or default, or both.
Arguments about the politics and economics of these people Krugman calls "delusional."
Republican radicals, he notes with irony, generally oppose scientific consensus on climate change. Also, many of them reject the theory of evolution. Is it possible to expect from these people that they will believe the experts who warn about the danger of default? ..

In my personal conviction, “raising the ceiling of public debt” is a disgusting that only amersky, obese brain is capable of. Come on, I'll call someone from someone, and then instead of paying off debts, I will raise the ceiling! Why does the whole of Geyropah tolerate this - is understandable, but there are others who are not geo-Europeans, they have not infected everyone with color revolutions?
The first glass is free
Tina Kaiser («Die Welt»; source abbr. translation - "Inopressa") spoke about some curious manifestations of the American "off".
It turns out that a crisis can make a good business.
The owners of the pubs located around the White House and the Capitol began to earn money on mass vacations of civil servants.
For bored officials have come up with a special advertisement.
One zucchini posted a slogan on its website saying that “suspension of funding is only additional free time and an excellent reason to drink.” In another bar, the first portion of the cocktail is poured in to the vacationers for free - but upon presentation of a certificate from a civil servant.
If the vacation drags on, add for yourself, then for Christmas, the United States will be managed by chronic alcoholics.
