Results of the week. "Enter the ambassador citizen!"
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev appointed Oleg Ostapenko as head of the Roscosmos. “I signed an order appointing you the head of Roscosmos,” said Ostapenko Medvedev. - You have been involved in the space sphere all your life, including being in military posts, now you have to deal with space in a slightly different dimension. The topic is certainly complicated, requiring increased attention from the state. ”
Ostapenko thanked Medvedev for his trust. “I will make every effort so that the assigned tasks are implemented,” he said. “First of all, the most important thing is to quickly continue the solution of the planned activities of Roskosmos, the most important thing is to give a new impetus to development within the framework of the tasks that have been set. For my part, I will make every effort to solve these problems. ”
New head of the Federal Space Agency introduced Dmitry Rogozin. At the same time, it is interesting that literally in a few days the vice-premier of the Russian government (judging by the rank, not the last person in the government) in his microblog wondered how much new things one could learn from the newspapers (about the material in the Izvestia newspaper about the upcoming shift heads of Roskosmos), and even wondered, quote: “Or maybe they don’t read them at all?” It turns out that the change of top of Roskosmos took place under such mysterious circumstances that the journalists knew about it, but the deputy chairman didn’t ... who, frankly, Dmitry Rogozin was even sorry - well, in fact, the whole deputy prime minister turned into a kind of wedding general, who receives the word when it is written in the script Toastmaster ...
So, now in Roscosmos Ostapenko instead of Popovkin. But Popovkin, according to the tradition that has developed in our time among high-ranking officials, does not retire at all. According to the statement of the same Dmitry Rogozin, Popovkin will be offered one of the leading positions in the new space corporation. In general, it will continue to plow open spaces of government offices and corridors ... But it’s fundamentally not important for the citizens of Russia what Oleg Ostapenko and Vladimir Popovkin will be plowing. It is important that the correct "furrows in the universe" were issued by Russian spacecraft. After all, lately there was an impression that we have more falls than take-offs (and this is not about officials).

Exercises of the CSTO at Chelyabinsk. There are victims
The peacekeeping doctrine of the CSTO member countries "Indestructible Brotherhood-2013" started on the ground in the Chelyabinsk region

Great emphasis was placed on the withdrawal of civilians from the war zone with the delivery of humanitarian aid to the affected areas. The total number of military personnel who took part in the CSTO exercises is more than 2,5 thousand people from Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Armenia, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
The course of the exercises darkened the tragic incident. A Russian contract serviceman was seriously injured after a tree fell on him during the preparation of materials for covering the trenches. 25-year-old junior sergeant died from his injuries. We express to the families and friends of the deceased condolences.

Bacillus "yushchenko"
Ukrainian media raised the alarm:
Moscow decides in its own way the issues of modernization of the Black Sea fleetnot paying attention to the position of Kiev and violating the basic Ukrainian-Russian agreements on the naval base, including the principle of "type on type, class on class."
Thus, in mid-February, the Azov landing ship, in violation of laws and procedures, brought the BTR-2013AM from Novorossiysk to Sevastopol, the latest modification of the BTR-82 armored base carrier for the Russian Armed Forces. In Ukraine, the new vehicle spent about a week aboard the landing ship and only 80 February, a few hours before visiting the marines of the Marines in Cossack Bay, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, was taken to the location of the Black Sea Fleet 20 brigade.
Ukrainian media:
Another example of violation of bilateral agreements on the Black Sea Fleet was the illegal entry into Ukraine of a new vessel of the Black Sea Fleet. At the end of April, a new-generation raid tug RB-389 came from Novorossiysk to Sevastopol. Officially declared purpose of arrival - for repairs.
And even somehow it does not seem strange that the Ukrainian information side began to “collect” Russian “violations” and issue them in abundant series now. The armored personnel carriers of the wrong system, the warships, and even gas, are the fuel, you know, not too blue for such a price ...
In this regard, it gives some, forgive, "Yushchenko", when the Ukrainian Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, both the Ukrainian authorities and a number of Ukrainian publications showed a keen interest, speaking once again that Russian naval sailors from the Crimea need to leave ... Today, apparently, the Yushchenko’s bacillus amazes the current Ukrainian leader, who unexpectedly senses sharp urges to please the European “brothers” at least in words.

Shirking friends
The next meeting of the EU-Ukraine Parliamentary Cooperation Committee in Strasbourg did not take place. Ukrainian representatives did not show up. “In my parliamentary practice, I have never come across this before,” said member of the EU-Ukraine parliamentary cooperation committee in the European Parliament, British MP Charles Tennock. Another member of the committee, Polish deputy Marek Sivec, said that the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada are playing against the rules that there was no such thing for the whole history the existence of a committee.
The problem, as it turned out, is that in the Verkhovna Rada, they still could not reach an agreement on who would head the committee. Therefore, no one came.
That’s because ... They wanted, you understand, European parliamentarians to teach Ukrainian colleagues new fashionable trends in building democracy in a single state, but they didn’t find “students” in the audience. It can be assumed that the above-mentioned Tennock and Sivets even roamed the hall and tried to reveal the Ukrainian delegates, quietly asking (in the ear) the seated: “You will, by chance, not from Kiev. Not? Sorry, sorry ... And you? Also not? .. ”They began to call the mobile phone numbers provided by the Ukrainian partners, but -“ so, everything is correct, in Ukraine the European “democratic” network is still not “taking” ... Victor Fyodorovich will throw such a net at last - then the Ukrainian deputies couldn’t get away from the European instructive sessions - even near Dikanka, although they would find near Berdichev ...

Draw the border with Estonia
Recently, the Russian president instructed the country's main foreign affairs agency to sign treaties concerning the final approval of the Russian-Estonian border (both land and sea). The relevant proposal of the Russian government was sent in the name of Vladimir Putin to 19 of September, and it took the president a little more than two weeks to actually accept and send the proposal to the relevant ministry - to the Foreign Ministry.
Vladimir Putin’s order is as follows:
The new treaty includes two fundamentally important points, which actually make it impossible to file territorial claims of countries to each other after signing and ratifying the treaty. Here are the items
1. This agreement, without exception, governs issues relating to the state border.
2. Recognized by the mutual absence of territorial claims.
It should be noted that the contract is congenial to the 2005 model contract of the year. Only in that agreement did the Estonian parliamentarians decide, as they say, “to one person”, to include references to the registration of the Tartu Treaty of Soviet Russia with Estonia of the 1920 model of the year. And if you follow the letter of the agreement (from 1920), then today we find ourselves and should owe Estonia both lands and money ... In 2005, the Russian delegation withdrew its signatures in protest, and the official Tallinn-Kolyvan zanyl about “abuses”, “ reluctance ”and other“ intolerance ”.
Now the contract is drawn up so that Estonian politicians do not have a desire to supplement it with “their own vision” of the situation. But it is only in this that the whole essence of the majority of the political figures of the young Estonian state is: you can’t understand - the EU doesn’t know what it’s about ...

Sour milk
Lithuania provides the European Commission with information in order to reasonably apply to the WTO due to the ban on Lithuanian dairy products in Russia.
As the Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkiavicius reported to 9 in October, Vilnius can only ask for assistance from the European Commission. The ban on importing dairy products in Russia in Lithuania is considered politically motivated.
Rospotrebnadzor restricted the import of dairy products from Lithuania from October 7. The ministry concluded that goods from Lithuania threaten the health of Russians.
In some products, experts found a high content of yeast and mold, in others - E. coli. Moreover, violations were found in several manufacturers.
This is already a trend. The next state’s full democratised state begins to forget what market a substantial percentage of its (state) product goes to, watering this market with “democratic” feces from all hoses — a domestic superman appears - Gennady Onishchenko. Gennady Grigoryevich in a calm voice, in an articulate case, articulately accessible (in popular) form, he (popularly) explains about cheeses, sour cream and curds, remembering from time to time about sausages, chicken legs and other food engineering achievements of foreign countries. He also clarifies to Lithuania ... But after all, just now Mr. Linkyavichyus threatened to block off transport oxygen to the Kaliningrad Region for the fact that Russia, you see, is preventing someone from integrating into the European Union. Onishchenko also explains to him in a popular way that the microspores of his politically linguistic mold could spread to the Lithuanian “jelly”. Well, we will not eat this milk (in particular, cheese) with the mold of the type “Linkyavichyus Obyknovenus” - let the head of the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry himself eat “for health” ...

Vigil Japan
The fighters of the Japan Self-Defense Air Force were alerted on Wednesday because three Russian aircraft appeared near the country’s territory, the Joint Self-Defense Forces headquarters reported.
Two Tu-142 (long-range anti-submarine aircraft) and one IL-20 (EW and electronic intelligence aircraft) flew over the Sea of Japan on Wednesday. The airspace was not violated. Tu-142 flew from southwest to northeast along the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido, and Il-20 flew in the opposite direction.
According to statistics from the Joint Staff, from July to September of this year, the fighters of the Japan Self-Defense Air Force 105 once raised the alarm because of the appearance of Russian aircraft. Over the same period, PRC aircraft appeared around Japan 80 times. In total, for the period April-September 2013, the Japanese 308 fighter jets were alerted once. In addition to Russia and China, the DPRK airplanes (9 times), Taiwan (1 times) and "other countries" (an interesting definition) (13 times) caused the alarm.
Look, how suspicious these Japanese are ... Well, it turns out, if someone passes by our front garden on his own business, pops up to him with an ax, or something, and go some time after that - just in case, in our the gate did not turn. Something is clearly unhealthy ... Maybe they will still raise their fighters at the moment when our planes are flying over the Kuril Islands.
It's still good that in the Japanese military aviation today there is no full-time Kamikaze position (well, at least according to the documents ...), although even without them the “divine wind” of the Japanese authorities was clearly played out in the wrong place. It would be better if Fukushima redirected its pathological activity in Japan to the pacification of the "peaceful atom".

Frightening come from japan news: then information about hundreds of thousands of tons of radioactive water will arrive, then it will turn out that water pumps have failed at the NPP, then hard workers will shed radioactive water under their feet, then someone else will say something from somewhere. And recently, an assistant of a senator revealed through the Internet that many Japanese have bleeding from the nose. Flows and does not stop ...
According to Andrei Kamenetsky ("But"), Takahiro Katsumi — Senator Tadashi Inuzuku’s international affairs assistant — raised a wave of panic. He sat on Twitter and made a discovery:
- From 22 to 23 September, the word "nosebleeds" wrote more than 5 thousand people;
- From 20 to 30 of September, more than three thousand people wrote “I can’t stop the bleeding from the nose”;
- From 28 to September 30, more than 2,5 thousands of people wrote “my nose is bleeding.”
Katsumi began to collect feedback on Facebook, and immediately people of different ages began to turn to him. Parents wrote for young children. All complained about the blood from the nose. The most problematic was the Kanto region. Light bleeding is noted in Hokkaido and Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe region.
The same Katsumi conveyed an unconfirmed report that the 120-meter exhaust pipe on Fukushima-1 collapsed after a recent earthquake. As if a huge radioactive cloud of dust had risen, then spreading across the country ...
Recently, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke. Speaking at an international scientific forum in Kyoto, he said that Japan is ready to accept foreign aid to stop the leakage of radioactive water, reports RBC with reference to the Associated Press.
Martin Fackler ("The New York Times") cites the message of the company-operator “TEPCO” that the failure of the water pump used to cool one of the reactors of the nuclear power plant was the last straw that overwhelmed the patience. The public no longer believes in the promises of TEPCO to purify water.
Last week, the author adds, it was reported that workers simply shed 114 liters of radioactive water, by mistake trying to pour it into a tank already filled with water ...
Thus, let us add, the Japanese are unlikely to cope with the nuclear issue without international assistance. After the speech of Shinzo Abe at the scientific forum, decisions should be expected in this very direction.

Russia is a generous soul
Talk about arming Russia on 1,3 billion dollars in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan has been going on for almost a year. Recently, the supply nomenclature was finally agreed. The amount of military assistance to Kyrgyzstan - 1,1 billion. To Tajikistan - 0,2 billion.
How to write Ivan Safronov, Elena Chernenko and Kabai Karabekov (Kommersant), the head of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, Valery Gerasimov, said that Russia had fully agreed with Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan on the range of weapons that it would supply them as military technical assistance. Especially a lot will get the army of Kyrgyzstan: helicopters, multiple rocket launchers, armored personnel carriers, etc.
1,3 billion dollars should be considered only the starting price for an attempt to restore Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space of Central Asia. The following amounts are already indicated.
Mukai Kadyrkulov, deputy chairman of the State Border Service of the Kyrgyz Republic, said that when Kyrgyzstan joined the Customs Union, the country would need $ 170 million for additional border management. Kyrgyzstan is going to receive this money from Russia, it reports Rosbalt.
The balance of money is as follows. He was clarified by the First Deputy Prime Minister of Kyrgyzstan Joomart Otorbayev, whose words are quoted by Tengrinews.kz:
Otorbayev said that after Kyrgyzstan joined the CU, the country would have to strengthen the border with China, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
The idea of fraternity also applies to Tajikistan, which, in addition to significant military assistance, will receive, as mentioned above, benefits for the stay of migrants in Russia and the abolition of export duties on fuel.
As reported on October 7 RIA "FederalPress" with reference to ER.Ru, Tajik labor migrants will be granted the right to work in Russia for three years. This was stated by Sergey Naryshkin, speaking at the Russian-Tajik (Slavic) University. During his visit to Tajikistan, the State Duma Speaker met with the heads of both houses of the Parliament of Tajikistan and discussed the issue of migration.
Naryshkin clarified that full equality of labor rights - regardless of citizenship - is possible “only within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union”.
As reminded by FederalPress, during the congress of the United Russia party, Vladimir Putin said that the law on migration should be tightened. The president noted that Russia has an economic need for visitors: they work there where the locals do not want to get.
In Tajikistan, they are seriously concerned that migrants are about to start being oppressed. Vladimir Lisovsky (Avesta.Tj) writes:
If we talk about the military presence of Russia in Tajikistan and the lease of the 201 th RSB, then, according to the author, the Tajik side is “quite rightly” counting on reciprocal steps, including in the area of migration policy.
The last, we add, is a clear exaggeration. After all, it may give the impression that it is beneficial for Russia to distribute millions and billions to the countries of Central Asia, which can simply ask for money out of habit. Perhaps Tajikistan would like Moscow to stop controlling huge flows of migrants. But some kind of a very fantastic benefit is obtained ... The issue of labor migration is painful for Tajiks precisely because they pump their GDP, including money transferred from Russia.
As for partnership, it is not based on fraternity, which has sunk into oblivion with the USSR. It is about profit, and Russia is doing a lot to ensure that this benefit is mutual. Russia seems to be doing too much in this direction. Too much mother is generous ...

Vicious circle
The events of recent days are arranged in a logical chain. Benjamin Netanyahu gave an interview to CBC TV channel, in which he called the former president of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ahmadinejad a wolf in wolf's clothing, and the current president Rouhani a wolf in sheep's clothing. Rouhani publicly spoke on the stupid sword of Israel and promised to continue the nuclear program "at full capacity". October 2 in the forest near Karaj found the body of the head of the headquarters of the Iranian Kibervoisk Mojatab Abmadi: he was shot dead with two shots at close range. October 6 in the press there were reports of the arrest in Iran of four suspects in the preparation of sabotage at a nuclear facility. On the same day, it became known that the last proposal made by the six Western mediating countries was invalid: it was announced by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif.
In addition, there was talk in the press about a strange "union" between Israel and the monarchies of the Persian Gulf. Analyst Dmitry Minin ("Fund of Strategic Culture") believes that Israel has launched a strategic project to create the Israeli-Sunni coalition on an anti-Iranian basis. Israel is not satisfied with the prospects for normalizing the situation around Iran. This threatens Tel Aviv with a loss of political influence in the region. According to the experts, cited by the author, the Israeli leadership seeks to "mix up the cards" of Washington to normalize relations with Iran, including through "fancy combinations" (axis with the monarchies of the Persian Gulf).
Israel believes that the pressure of the countries of the Persian Gulf could affect the USA and Europe: after all, oil monarchies are the main energy suppliers in the Old World. Observers note that the formation of the unofficial axis is manifested in the frequent exchange of emissaries between Israel and the monarchies of the Gulf. Israel scares the monarchy, including the expected signing of a military agreement between Iran and Iraq.
To this we must add that negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program will be held in Geneva very soon - October 15-16.
After a few days, it will become clear how the policy pursued by Rouhani differs from that of his predecessor Ahmadinejad. We should not forget that Iran expects new proposals from the world community to regulate its own nuclear program, since the old proposal, according to the Iranian Foreign Minister, “has gone down in history”. But in the end, we have just the “historical” alignment of forces: the West and Israel are waiting for the first decisions from Iran, and Iran is waiting for proposals from them.
A vicious circle, not otherwise ...

Syrian militants recruit children into their ranks. Syrian journalists presented to the public the story of 12-year-old boy Shaaban Abdullah Hamid: his uncle led him into the ranks of the Afhad al-Rasul faction. This tells Catherine Slyusarenko ("Voice of Russia").
Having found poor Shaaban working in a plastic factory, an adult relative gave a teenager a gun and offered to work, “joining the ranks of resistance.”
The sniper received a reward for each victim: he was paid 500 Syrian lira (about 2,5 dollars) for a civilian killed, well, and killing a soldier brought the boy twice as much.
The “change” of a teenager lasted from 8 to 16 hours. In two months, a juvenile sniper killed 13 civilians and 10 soldiers.
“My work ended when Uncle Shiro told my father that I was with Uncle Aziz,” Shaaban said. With his father, the boy fled to Ham. There he lived in a refugee camp under the patronage of the Syrian Red Crescent Society. Then he had the opportunity to move to work on the plantation in Tartus.
To the question of Syrian journalists about what he felt when he killed, Shaaban replied: "Nothing, absolutely nothing."

Kuwait and the other Gulf states are going to introduce “gay tests” for those who cross their borders. Drivers will be checked by some medical method for sexual orientation. About the beginning of checks at airports in Kuwait, the head of the Department of Public Health in the Kuwaiti Ministry of Health, Yusuf Mindkar, reported "Vesti" with reference to The Independent.
Citizens who will be identified as LGBT people will be banned from entering the Gulf countries.
Giving an interview to the local newspaper Al Rai, Yusuf Mindkar clarified that a medical examination of people entering Kuwait is already underway. But now doctors will pay close attention to the orientation of foreigners. Gay identified by doctors will not be able to enter Kuwait and other states that are members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia).
Mr. Mindkar did not specify what procedures will have to go entering. It turns out, let us add, the Kuwaiti experts are still keeping their medical innovations secret.

On the night of October 6 in the Hague, people in police camouflage uniforms broke into the apartment of Dmitry Borodin, an employee of the Russian embassy. The inviolability of the diplomatic person is not interested burst. Documents they have not shown. Having overcome the lonely resistance of Comrade Borodin, the Hague police officers knocked him off his feet, put him in handcuffs, hit him on the head, and then took him to the police station. They let him go only in the morning. No explanation was given to the diplomat. Only the pretext of invasion is known: as if a “signal” came from someone that a diplomat was torturing his children, which is why they cry and prevent neighbors from sleeping. The beating of a Russian diplomat entered the top of world news. V. Putin demanded clarification from The Hague. Netherlands Foreign Minister Ron van Dartel was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry, who was handed a note of protest. Borodin himself believes that the cause of the incident is his work to strengthen ties and friendship between Russia and the Netherlands. A version related to the recent arrest of Greenpeace members in Russia is also spreading in the media. Experts are already hinting at the "cold war" ...
Uliana Gortinskaya ("But") talked about the incident in The Hague with the head of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy of the Russian Federation Fedor Lukyanov. He said that in the actions of the Netherlands authorities the features of the Cold War are visible and noted that similar incidents with Soviet diplomats in the West or Western diplomats in the USSR happened “absolutely by accident”. According to Lukyanov, the Dutch representatives may have considered what is happening with “Arctic Sunrise” an extreme case that requires an appropriate response.
Channel "NTV" quoted Vladimir Putin:
According to the RBC, the Dutch edition “NOS” wrote that the detainee Dmitry Borodin and his wife were drunk. On Saturday, the wife of D. Borodin allegedly arranged an accident near the house, damaging four cars at once. She herself was injured in the neck and back. The police have determined by the number that the car belongs to the Russian embassy. According to them, the woman was drunk and tried to resist the doctors.
The call the next day supposedly came from the neighbors: they were disturbed by cries coming from Borodin’s apartment. According to the Dutch edition, the police said that the man "was under the influence of alcohol." They were told that the tenant of the apartment was a diplomat, but for the sake of the safety of the children, they still decided to take Borodin to the precinct.
Later, the Russian Foreign Ministry received an apology from the Netherlands for the incident with the diplomat Dmitry Borodin. The fact that the Netherlands made an official apology, the Kingdom of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom reported in the evening on October 9, BFM.ru.
“On behalf of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans offered a formal apology to the Russian Federation for violating international law, in particular the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, in connection with the detention by Dutch police of the Russian Embassy Counselor Dmitry Borodin. He stated this today to the ambassador of our country in Holland, Roman Kolodkin, ”the message on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
Timmermans told a colleague that the results of the incident investigation will be presented to the Russian side additionally.
The story of Borodin received a serious geopolitical sequel.
From a political point of view, the incident with the detention of a Russian diplomat in the Netherlands seems to be settled, reports "InoTV". But from the economic, we add from myself, the incident is only planned ...
After the incident with the diplomat, Russia increased the pressure on The Hague, notes "InoTV" with reference to "Deutsche Welle". Representatives of the "Rosselkhoznadzor" 9 of October pointed out the inadequate quality of milk and tulips. However, other dairy products and plants from Holland are also no good. And the crew of “Arctic Sunrise” was charged with new charges, this time for possession of drugs.
The latter, we add, is not at all surprising. The ship went under the Dutch flag!

Swedish threat
Sweden decided to use the island of Gotland, which is strategically located in the Baltic Sea, for defense purposes, reports "InoTV" with reference to "Aftonbladet".
On the island it is planned to place 14 tanks. 8 have already taken their positions. The reason for the return to the demilitarized Gotland of military equipment was the expansion of Russia's military capabilities.
The Swedes are worried about the Russian military exercises held in July in the Baltic region. Sweden is thrilled and the exercises are scheduled for November.
The representative of the Christian Democratic Party on defense Mikael Oscarsson stressed in an interview with Aftonbladet that defense must prevent the threat of Sweden. Recently, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces announced that Sweden’s self-defense capability would last for a week. According to Oscarsson, this is not enough.
Probably add from yourself, 14 tanks will save the day. Now Sweden will stand not a week, but seven and a half days.

How did the Chinese American missile defense build
China is the epicenter of world trade in fakes, the report of the US Senate Commission says, the newspaper writes "Sight".
“US military contractors acquired many of the critical components from US companies, which, in turn, acquired them from Chinese firms, but did not test them before handing them over to the Pentagon,” the Military Parity resource reports, citing WND.com.
General Patrick O'Reilly, director of the US missile defense agency, said: “We don’t want the reliability of the anti-missile missiles worth 12 million dollars to depend on the fake details of the price of the 2 dollar.”
Chinese counterfeit was found on SH-60B, AH-64 and CH-46 helicopters, C-17, C-130J, C-27J and P-8A "Poseidon" aircraft. Earlier, in the 2005 year, Chinese chips were found in the on-board computers of the F-15 fighter jets.
It is estimated that at least 15% of spare parts and electronic chips purchased by the Pentagon are fakes.

Right now, your soul will come to a boil.
“The study was conducted in connection with the statements of representatives of some intelligence agencies, including MI5, the NSA and IARPA, that the chips may contain backdoors placed there by Chinese manufacturers ... A Chinese-made FPGA chip was chosen for the study. After scanning the chip for unusual functions, a backdoor was found there, placed by the manufacturer and able to remove cryptographic protection from the chip, change the AES key, gain access to unencrypted stream, or disable the device ... This chip is widely used in many military systems, including weapons, atomic stations and public transport ”(http://kramtp.info/news/18/full/id=22137).
“The Senate Arms Committee has published a shocking report on multiple shipments of counterfeit electronics for the US Army. This 70-page document is primarily about Chinese companies that collect defective electronic components from around the world, remove all identifying marks from them, wash, repair, and then resell to American intermediaries as new ones.
The committee conducted a one-year study, during which it became clear that over the period from 2009 to 2010, about a million suspicious parts and components found their way into the supply system of the Ministry of Defense and were used in the production of “critical” military systems.
Among them, the authors of the report call the SH-60B helicopters, the C-130J and C-27J military transport aircraft, as well as the Poseidon latest P-8A anti-aircraft aircraft ...

In debt as in silks
From the news it is known that on October 3, the US president canceled a trip to the APEC summit in Indonesia - the reason for that “turning off” the government. In the absence of Obama, the Chinese leader Xi Jinping made a speech on the forum in which the name of Obama never sounded - as if he had been “turned off” along with America.
While Comrade C was speaking at the summit and was conducting backstage strategic negotiations with Comrade Putin, Mr. Obama frightened Republicans through his native television. Among other things, he said that he did not intend to make concessions regarding the budget, the channel said "RT".
In an interview with CNBC, the US president said: “If it becomes a habit for us that one party can be engaged in extortion, then no subsequent president will be able to effectively run the country. I only know that the American people — and I have to admit that businessmen, too — are tired of the constant transitions from crisis to crisis. ”
Very interesting, we note, the division of the US population - into businessmen and the people themselves. Such a critical approach is understandable: just businessmen who are ready to strangle themselves because of a couple of dollars, and oppose Obamacare in the majority. In addition, the Congress is full of rich Republicans - more precisely, very rich.
Due to the government’s “shutdown”, the United States had to cancel its participation in the negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which envisages the creation of a free trade zone between the US and the EU.
As transmits "RT" With reference to ITAR-TASS, the US side said: “US Trade Representative Michael Frohman phoned Karel De Gucht, European Trade Commissioner, to regret that the suspension of the US government would not allow them to take part in the second round of negotiations on Transatlantic investment partnership to be held next week in Brussels. ”
In such a gloomy atmosphere, the American Minister of Finance, Jacob Lew, sounded the alarm. The statement of the Minister told the correspondent. ITAR-TASS Dmitry Kirsanov.
“There is a majority in Congress ready to do the right thing: to open the government and to ensure that we do not step into the abyss,” said the head of the US Treasury on CBC.
The finance minister sticks to the Obama line. He made it clear that the US administration will not compromise with the Republicans.
Dmitry Babich ("Voice of Russia") writes with irony:
The analyst recalls that for many years the Americans made fun of similar situations with foreign policy partners. For example, they liked to lecture Russian officials in the mid-nineties, when budget disputes were often between Yeltsin and the Duma.
Comrade Babich, in fact, advised America to look in the mirror.
