Results of the week. "Well, what's wrong with us? .."
Instead, Mikhail Kutsina as a head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Poroshenko suggested Viktor Muzhenko. The proposal found wide support. The decree on the change of the Chief of General Staff has already been signed by the president. Petro Poroshenko explained his decision to remove Mikhail Kutsin from his position by the fact that during one of the operations in the framework of the so-called “ATO” Mr. Kutsin was allegedly wounded. The contusion affected Kutsin’s ability to continue his service, and the president decided to give him the opportunity to improve his health.
It is believed that Kutsin was not the only contused in the ukrovlasm camp. Total contusion is a kind of generalized diagnosis for Kiev “elites”. And after all, people with such a diagnosis rule what remains of Ukraine, trying to appear as “effective managers.” The “horizontal” mode seems to be the only thing that will “cure” these people - as a saying about what will fix the hunchbacked ...

Ukroministr and pen with nano-ink
Now Ukraine has a Minister of Defense - already without the prefix "acting". Instead of the acting head of the military department, Mikhail Koval, Colonel-General Valery Geletei became minister. The candidacy of Geletey, submitted by President Petro Poroshenko, in the Verkhovna Rada supported the 260 parliamentarians. The cameras of the reporters who were present in the Rada at the time of Geletei’s speech recorded how the general “signed” in the ministerial oath text with a pen with a closed cap. Perhaps he also kept the figs in his pockets while reading the text of the oath.
The signature of the document with the pen, the pen of which was closed with a cap, from the first second of Geletei’s inauguration made him a superstar. After the appearance of the photo with “signing” by Geletey, the oath remained to wait for comments from the Ukrainian media that can explain any blunder and incident from a “scientific point of view: from“ targeting ”MANPADS of militias to air conditioners to undermining the railway tracks by the train drivers themselves. However, there were no reports that Geletei signed with a Ukrainian pen with nano-ink of high penetrating action (through a cap) ... But then a violent reaction followed that Geletey announced an early parade of the Ukrainian army in the "Ukrainian Sevastopol". They say, well done Geleta, he will show the Kremlin where the crayfish winter. Will certainly show ...
In Sevastopol itself, they are already ready to meet Geletei with his “parade” - a special place is given for this and washing-irrigation machines fill up with water ...

Tragedy near Lugansk
The village of Staraya Kondrashovka underwent an air strike. On the locality, located in 20-kilometers from Lugansk, the Su-25 air force of Ukraine delivered a strike. The whole street was almost wiped out. The result of the air strike - dozens of dead and wounded civilians. Charred fragments of bodies literally swept through the streets. Fragments from the dropped bombs and fired rockets mowed those residents who simply did not have time to hide in the basements of their houses. From dozens of houses in Old Kondrashovka there were only half-destroyed furnaces - terrible landscapes of the times of the Great Patriotic War.
Terrible shots of the results of the strike on the outskirts of Lugansk circled the whole world. At the same time, Western media outlets reported on how the "separatists", and not Ukrainian security forces, fired on peaceful neighborhoods. And after all, none of those who are ready, excuse me, “harass” such misinformation, the question arose: where did the “separatists” suddenly come from aviation, and how could this aircraft strike at the suburbs of a large city in the conditions of its almost complete encirclement by Ukrainian force units? The West is not ready to ask such questions today, because they know the answer there, as they also know that this answer does not lie in the field of US interests. And that which contradicts the interests of the USA, usually turns into a psako-clowning by the State Department. In psako style: "they blew themselves up" ...

Kolomoizatsiya Ukraine
The Basmanny Court of the Russian capital ordered the arrest of Igor Kolomoisky. For obvious reasons (the absence of Kolomoisky in Russia), the arrest of the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region was in absentia.
The Basmanny Court is preparing to make a similar decision in respect of such a person as Arsen Avakov.
The correspondence arrest of Kolomoisky today makes the oligarch laugh — no more. After all, while the oligarch is under reliable cover of the stolen billions. But, as you know, everything flows, everything changes. Today, Kolomoisky himself has billions and Kolomoisky himself, but tomorrow may well be neither the first nor the second ... The fatal hit "under the horse" on Dnepropetrovsk street can suddenly interrupt the colomoisation of Ukraine. Option ...
Boris Abramovich Berezovsky also thought that billions and life are eternal phenomena ... But the London lawyers and oligarch's scarf proved the opposite.

Kolomoisky bitten "Green Serpent"
The site of “PrivatBank”, controlled by the oligarch-governor Igor Kolomoisky, was subjected to a hacker attack. For several hours in a row, the site of Kolomoisky Bank was not accessible to users of both Russia and Ukraine.
Responsibility for the attack on the bank’s website was taken by the Green Dragon organization, stating that its members had access to the client database, and by July 5, funds not withdrawn from the accounts of PrivatBank depositors would be withdrawn in favor of Novorossiya. The press service of the bank denied that the personal data of the customers leaked to the hackers. Meanwhile, ordinary investors hurried to protect their savings and began to withdraw funds from the accounts. Losses of the bank did not become fatal for Kolomoisky, but "Green Serpent" still showed a possible version of how you can fight a war with oligarchs who seized power in Ukraine. If the main thing for the oligarch is money, then it is their use as a target that can have a much greater effect than a dozen absentia oligarch in absentia by order of the Basmanny court.

Contradictions create contradictions
Ukrainian media suddenly decided to refer to the spokesperson of the government of the Donetsk People's Republic, who allegedly stated that an attempt was made to seize power in Donetsk. It is reported that the commander of one of the militia units (with a base in the city of Gorlovka) with the call sign "Bes" (Igor Bezler) seized the building of the Donetsk Department of Internal Affairs with the help of subordinate fighters.
The past week has become one of the richest in information contradictions for the entire time of the conflict in Ukraine. These are reports of militant battles allegedly with each other in Donetsk, statements about the arrest of the speaker of the DPR Supreme Council Vladimir Makovich on the charge of indirect involvement in the death of the First Channel operator, and evidence that Igor Strelkov left Slavyansk. In some cases, the information was confirmed, in others - not. In any case, the southeast is now experiencing hour X: either the militia from Donetsk to Lugansk is consolidating to deliver a series of powerful blows to the Ukrainian punishers, or fragmentation will lead to the Ukrainian flag again flying over the administration buildings of Novorossia, under which the southeast came death, chaos and grief.

“Several dozens of militiamen surrounded the buildings of the municipal police department and the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donetsk Region. The buildings are nearby. Employees of the city government managed to partially evacuate. As a result of the assault there are wounded. Regarding the situation in the State Ministry of Internal Affairs - there is no information. Shooting continues there, ”employees of the Donetsk city police department reported. Communication with the staff of the State Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donetsk region is absent.
The commander of the DPR army, Igor Strelkov, commented on the events:
“The object is being captured. Before the assault, it is necessary to clean the "rear".
Among fighters of army of Donetsk republic who storm the building of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Donetsk region, most likely there are ex-employees of "Berkut". Reports about it the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
"Among the militias who weapons in the hands of storming the State Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Donetsk region, most likely there are former employees of the special forces "Berkut", who went over to the side of the so-called DNR. They carefully hide their faces under the balaclava, however, local law enforcement authorities noted that they recognized several of them by their appearance and voice. Also, some of them are wearing elements of the “Golden Eagle” uniform. This uniform remained with those "Berkutovtsy" who did not pass the certification and those who voluntarily went over to the side of the DPR ".
According to preliminary data, the junta sent a special squad “Falcon”, known for the murder of Alexander Muzychko, nicknamed “Sashko Bily”, to reinforce the security of the Donetsk regional State Ministry of the Interior. It is they who provide the most fierce resistance.

Slavyansk under ukroflagom?
The headquarters of the Donetsk People's Republic confirm the information that the militia left Slavyansk. As soon as Poroshenko reported that the checkpoints at which the militiamen were stationed in Slavyansk were empty, the ukropresident ordered to occupy the center of the city and raise the Ukrainian flag.
The militia left Slavyansk. Kitchen "Alexandra of Macedon" had already rushed to announce that the militia chickened out, and that the unit Strelkova were not supposed to give up their positions. But then there is a "kitchen" examination, so that, from a thousand km away, drinking a dried bream with a beer, judge what the militia should and should not do.
What else remained to take a few hundred militia, who were actually abandoned in a ringed city? To fight to the last drop of blood, leaving Ukrainian punishers a chance for the complete destruction of the resisting side? In the conditions in which the militia of Novorossia found itself, he has in fact only one effective option left to oppose the Kiev occupation - waging a partisan (sabotage) war. The fact that the Ukrainian punitive detachments are not ready for such a variant of confrontation, says numerous episodes of the defeats of the armed forces and the national security forces of Ukraine, who are “face to face” with sabotage militia groups.

How much is independence today, Joe?
Petro Poroshenko said that the fire in the South-East can be stopped under certain conditions. Among the conditions are the release of all the hostages, the establishment of Kiev control over borders in the monitoring of the OSCE. Poroshenko made such a statement in a telephone conversation with US Vice President Joseph Biden.
Mr. Poroshenko noted that he was ready to return to the cease-fire regime as soon as there was confirmation of its observance in a bilateral format, as well as under the conditions of the release of all hostages and the establishment of border control during OSCE monitoring. The head of state stressed that he was ready to start meaningful political negotiations without any additional conditions.
Joe Biden assured that the United States shares and supports the approach of the Ukrainian president to resolving the situation and is ready to make efforts to achieve peace in Ukraine.
In response, Poroshenko thanked the United States for its support and congratulated Biden on the upcoming United States Independence Day.
Next Poroshenko said one significant phrase:
One wants to ask Biden: how much is independence today, Joe? You can even ask Obama about this, but they will not answer because. At best, some eighteenth assistant to the third deputy press secretary of the White House will read a lecture on democracy instead of an answer.
Something you can ask Poroshenko. Using the popularity of "Military Review", we ask.
Dear legitimate and legitimate president of Ukraine! Please name at least one country that American participation made independent and happy.

What is the percentage of refugee men in the Rostov and other regions? 30-40%?
There is no Russian there. The only one who fights for the idea and does it, so to speak, with “aerobatics” is Igor Strelkov. A highly suspicious person surrounded by no less suspicious people with combat experience. The fact that he suddenly appeared in Ukraine, I do not believe. Here there are very noticeable ears of the GRU or the FSB, as anyone.
My father, a retired major of the Marine Corps, is glad that now they are acting differently from what they would have done in the USSR. Rolled up tanks to the capital, and all the way? This does not work. It worked during the Second World War, and then it did not roll.
I am also glad that our government is not without brains and is not being led to this unobvious set-up, and I am also glad that the brain thinks above ...
Generally, at the top should sit power hungry, unprincipled, cunning people who relate their own wealth and pleasure with the wealth of the country. Personally, I think that Putin is just such a person. Of course, he needs money, but he is EXTREMELY power-hungry, cunning, cynical person who wants to leave an imprint in stories and to whom money is only a means to the achievement of its goal. The fact that he is now at the helm, and not some former brave general of armored forces, is simply happiness.
Ukraine support, but we do not trust it
Hungary, which supports Ukraine in everything and does not object to gas supplies to it, nevertheless recognized the need for South Stream, the construction of which would reduce the value of a friendly country as a transit country for Russian fuel to zero.
“Hungary will build South Stream, as this project will ensure the security of our energy supply. We do not want to find ourselves in a situation where our gas supplies will depend on Ukraine, ”the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in Belgrade after meeting with his Serbian counterpart.
“We support Ukraine (...), but we are responsible to our citizens for their electricity supply,” the Prime Minister added.
Hungary, through which Europe supplies reverse gas to Naftogaz, is well versed in its neighbor. And therefore, even being pro-Ukrainian, he understands that the friendship will last exactly until such time as Naftogaz starts to steal gas from the transit pipe again, denigrating everyone, including Hungary.
More than once we have written on “VO” that Hungary does not tire of condemning the Russian “annexation” of the Crimea. They also wrote that the Hungarian government wants to squeeze out Gazprom from the EU market and replace Russian gas with US shale gas.
Orban is one more sly one. Having come to power in the 2010 year, he was against the Russian South Stream. And in the 2014 year, condemning Russia for annexing the Crimea, the prime minister was dreaming about cutting off the seam from the Ukrainian Transcarpathian region. He has long been promoting to the masses the idea of granting citizenship to Hungarians who live in neighboring countries, including the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. And this idea works: hundreds of thousands of passports were issued. And so that the Ukrainians are not too sad about such a diplomatic expansion, the prime minister undertakes to supply non-prospective natural gas. In the reverse way.
Without complaining about homosexuals, Orban simultaneously beats Obama with his brow. 20-21 took place in March in Strasbourg, a summit of EU member states, at which four central European states of the EU, namely Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, asked the US to supply them with liquefied natural gas and oust the Russian Gazprom from their markets. Washington received an official letter from these very central Europeans: "The presence of American gas in Central and Eastern Europe at this critical time for the region will be highly desirable, as well as the decision of the Congress to supply the region with liquefied natural gas."
No, the announcement today of the opposite point of view (the approval of “Yuzhny”) does not prove Orban’s schizophrenia. It’s just that the premier has just realized that the cancer on the mountain is more likely to whistle than Obama will provide Hungary with shale gas.

The triangle will be drunk!
27 June, the head of Gazprom A. Miller announced that South Stream will be put into operation at the end of 2015. According to Mr. Miller, the gas pipeline meets the economic interests of all the participating countries. A day earlier, the Bulgarian government sent a letter to the European Commission, in which it noted that the agreements on the “South” comply with the laws of Bulgaria and the EU. It became known earlier that Serbia does not see any obstacles for the construction of the gas pipeline. And 30 Jun appeared news that Italy, which considers South Stream strategic, intends, in chairing the European Union, to facilitate its implementation.
According to the head of Gazprom, Alexey Miller, the pipeline branch will be built as scheduled. “South Stream gas is waiting for consumers in Southern and Central Europe. South Stream is in the economic interest of all the participating countries and will be built. Now we are doing everything with partners to complete the work on schedule. At the end of 2015, the first gas will be supplied via South Stream, ”Miller quotes "First channel".
Recall that European Commissioner for Energy Gunther Oettinger actively protests against the Russian gas pipeline. It is this person that scares the countries of the European Union, which will support the "South". The Commissioner argues that the European Commission cannot accept the fact that some EU countries have signed agreements with the Russian Federation on the construction of a gas pipeline in which European law is violated. The European Commissioner threatened those who continue to participate in the project with “consequences”.
Actively protesting against the “South” and Kiev Yatsenyuk. According to the Ukrainian Prime Minister, the Russians did not start the “South” to take care of energy security in Europe. No, the Kremlin has a different goal: to increase Europe’s energy dependence on Russia.
Angry words Yatsenyuk easy to interpret.
"South Stream" Russia finally expects to get rid of the need for transit through the Ukrainian GTS. Now through the "independent" goes about half of all Russian gas destined for EU states. There are also suspicions that Ukraine steals gas from time to time. And she does not like to pay for gas. This situation is very convenient for Kiev, which plays the role of a “gas gate” in the EU. That's why Mr. Yatsenyuk and opposes the "South Stream". The “Yuzhny” will earn money - and there will be no need for the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
Against the "South" are the Americans. They are also easy to understand. Additional competition to those who are going to supply the EU with shale gas is not needed. The US gas plans “coincide” with Gazprom’s plans: if the latter intends to begin the first gas supplies at the end of 2015, the first are going to heat half of Europe in the winter of 2016. Well, and simply insert the stick in the wheels of Russian for the White House - the holy.

Black ideas of the White House
The other day the magazine "Forbes"referring to Bloomberg and Financial Times, reported on the White House preparing sanctions aimed at individual sectors of the Russian economy, namely the areas of supply of equipment and technologies used for exploration, production, transportation of natural gas, oil and oil products.
There is information that the US government can force companies to license the supply of technology to Russia.
It was also reported that the US is discussing new sanctions with Canada, the UK and Australia.
Later "Forbes"referring to Bloomberg, said that Washington intends to discuss the imposition of sanctions against Moscow with Beijing. For the sake of such a thing, the US Treasury Secretary himself will fly to the Celestial Empire.
On Tuesday this week in Washington, US Treasury Secretary Jacob Liu said that additional sanctions could push the Russian economy into recession. Mr. Lew also announced that he intends to discuss sanctions against Russia with Chinese officials, for which he will go on a two-day visit to China on July 9.
Lew's words completely lead "Vedomosti".
“I think that Russia clearly realizes that the next steps [of the United States to isolate the Russian Federation] can greatly undermine the economic situation of Russia,” said Lew.
In addition, the US Treasury Secretary expressed confidence that "Russia will want to avoid" additional sanctions.
Further, Mr. Lew explained that "the main goal in this case is to influence Russia in order to force it to change the course of action, stop supporting the separatists and help solve the problem by diplomatic means." (This, of course, is about the situation in the south-east of Ukraine.) The minister also specified the goal of the impact: “However, the goal in this case is to achieve a resolution of the situation in Ukraine through negotiations so that the fate of the country is in the hands of the Ukrainian people.”
Received a new statement from the famous Jen psaki.
According to "MK", the State Department spokeswoman said that the US administration is ready to adopt a new package of sanctions against Russia. According to psaki, sanctions will affect entire sectors of the Russian economy.
A spokesman for the White House, Josh Ernest, also spoke. He called the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine "positive", but not sufficient for the de-escalation of the conflict. It is this “failure” that is the reason for the risk of introducing new sanctions.
But here's the problem: Washington is being poisoned by the differences with Brussels. The fact is that Europe is “in no hurry” to “sanction” Russians. And, one might say, is not eager to do this.
The White House never received any real approval of the “third step” of sanctions from the EU. Moreover, Europe, as is clear from the media, is unhappy with American pressure.
However, one approving voice from Europe still came. From Lithuania.
Head of the Lithuanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Linas Linkyavicius spoke on Twitter. There he stated that disrespecting Russia for a truce should be punished with sanctions.
The minister called the "price" that Ukraine paid during the Poroshenko truce and cease-fire, writes "Ukrainian Truth".
“108 separatist attacks, 27 dead and 69 injured in the Ukrainian army,” wrote Linkyavichus. And he declared: “Disrespect should be properly rewarded by sanctions.” And the hashtag entered: #sanctions.
Thus, Washington has someone to rely on in Europe.

Ran to the grandmothers
On Tuesday, the US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf questioned the report of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), according to which 110 thousands of Ukrainians arrived in Russia seeking asylum.
“The UNHCR statement did not say that 110 thousands of Ukrainian refugees fled from Ukraine to Russia. It says that this is the number of people who at some point crossed the border. It may be that they visit their grandmother and go back, "said Harf, adding that" only 9,6 thousands of people applied for asylum in Russia. "
According to her, the United States doubts the figures provided by UNHCR, as they are based on data from the Russian side, which "to put it mildly, are not the most accurate source."
There is such a thing: the firmness of belief. You want to argue, you want - no, but the "Women's Battalion" of the State Department has such. Before Marie Harf and her boss Jen Psaki, even the Bolshevik Pyatakov would have taken off his hat.
“Yes, I will consider black what I thought and what seemed white to me,” he said, “since for me there is no life outside the party, without consent with it ... To be in the party, to participate in its ranks in upcoming world events , I have to give it to myself without a trace of myself, to merge with it, so that in me there would not be a single particle, not belonging to the party, not agreed with it. And I will say it again, if the party demands white to be considered black to achieve its goals, I will accept it and make it my conviction. ”
Replace the “party” in the cited passage with the “State Department” - and you will receive an accurate description of the double-thinking prosperity in the department of John Kerry.

Only a few tens of thousands of Russian servicemen have grandmothers in Donetsk, Kharkov, and Odessa, but for the time being they cannot visit them - Putin does not sign an order for leave. He says that because of the crisis in Iraq, everyone should be assembled.
This is very bad. Harvesting parsley under threat. And the unreasonable policy of the United States in Iraq and Syria is to blame.
Peace attackers
A shock to the international community was the change in Japan’s so-called “defense policy”. “Defense” is quoted because the now mentioned policy strongly resembles the offensive one. The Japanese military can now stand up to protect some "friendly countries."
The government of Shinzo Abe adopted a resolution allowing the armed forces to operate in other countries. The main condition that Japan has set for itself: the need to protect "friendly countries".
There are, however, additional reservations adopted to calm both the international community and instill in Tokyo the disgruntled crowds the idea that Japan did not lose pacifism.
The resolution prescribes the "minimum necessary" assistance to those states with which Tokyo has diplomatic relations and close ties. At the same time, military assistance can be activated only if other means of persistent enemies have not gotten through. Finally, the Japanese army will go to a foreign attack only when it becomes clear: there was a threat to the existence of the Japanese state, and at the same time the right of citizens - both to freedom and to life.
In any case, it is clear: the army of the Land of the Rising Sun, from now on, has received permission to go abroad and apply techniques and skills there.
The new resolution, which runs counter to 9 article of the 1947 constitution of the year proclaiming the rejection of the use of military force in foreign conflicts, the Japanese government actually celebrated the 60 anniversary of the rebuilding of the armed forces (1954 year).
Here is a quote from the Associated Press, cited by the Washington Post American newspaper (translation - "InoSMI"):
Agree, it sounds almost like "Japan will protect America."
Not without Jen Psaki.
“Japan has every right to equip itself as it sees fit. We urge her to do it in a transparent manner and continue to keep in touch with her about this, ”the press secretary of the US State Department quotes. Rosbalt.
American approval is not difficult to understand: a powerful and “legally” belligerent Land of the Rising Sun is needed by the White House to contain growing China.
Recall, Washington’s strategy a few years ago was reoriented from the Middle East to the Asia-Pacific Region. Back in the first term of his presidency, Obama has repeatedly stressed the importance of the APR for the United States and called the aforementioned region "top priority" of the American security policy. In this regard, the White House’s approval of the “defense” changes in the Japanese constitution is not an empty diplomatic formulation from Psaki. In fact, this is a new milestone in world history.
Japan is the state that should play its role in the cause of American opposition to the Chinese rise. After all, the power of China is growing by leaps and bounds, and the Washington bosses, claiming world hegemony, strongly dislike it.
Or did someone not understand that the "friendly" state of Japan is the United States? Well, re-read: "Japanese warships will be able to help protect American ships guarding Japan!"

Everything is mixed up in the Oblonskys' house
June 29 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for an independent Kurdistan. He explained his statement by saying that Israel should support the Kurds ’desire for independence. Support it is necessary then to weaken the Islamists.
Netanyahu statement, celebrate "News", it sounded on the day when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorist organization, announced the creation of an Islamic caliphate in the occupied territories of Iraq and Syria.
Netanyahu’s open words about the independence of the Kurds were not particularly surprised by any of the experts.
"The Kurds and so should get full independence in the near future," Izvestiya quoted a political scientist, a professor at the University. Salah al-Din in the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan Erbil Radvan Ali Badini. - Islamists from ISIS just played a catalytic role. And the Israeli Prime Minister wants another force to emerge, opposing the Islamists, and therefore declares support for the Kurds. ”
To this it must be added that with regard to Iraq, Israel is in fact pursuing one policy with the United States.
Earlier, US President Obama made it clear that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki must leave his post.
Recall, Barack Obama spoke of "possible" support for Iraq. According to poorly verified rumors, he said that in order for the White House to realize the said “opportunity”, Iraq needs to do something. Namely, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will have to find another job for himself. An outstanding State Department employee Jen Psaki tried to refute these rumors, saying at a regular briefing that only Iraqis themselves have the right to determine who will be the head of Iraq.
But it seems that no “Iraqis” are foreseen in the future.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, at a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry, said: "Iraq is falling apart, and it seems that the emergence of an independent Kurdistan is a matter of the near future."

Fat and stupid, but not penguins
More than two thirds of young Americans are not fit for military service due to poor health, inadequate education, and behavioral deficiencies.
Here is a list of the main reasons preventing American youth from entering the service: obesity, lack of a secondary education document, a conviction for serious crimes and the adoption on a regular basis of drugs for the treatment of new-fangled diseases called “hyperactivity” and “attention deficit”.
Many young people do not meet army standards also because of their appearance: they have visible tattoos and large holes on the earlobes - “tunnels”.
According to the Pentagon, 71% (!) Of the total number of young people aged between 17 and 24 years (34 million) will never qualify for military service. And this percentage is not final, because it does not take into account those who will be eliminated because of the "tunnels" and the tattoo.
According to Allen Batshelhet, a representative of the command who works in the field of recruiting the army, almost the very first problem is the low quality of education of candidates, which does not allow them to pass certification. “They are so incompetent in the field of education that they will not be able to join the military in any capacity, let alone high-tech jobs,” said Batschelet.
Of particular interest is the American approach to the military problem of obesity.
Michelle Obama, Barak's wife, has long fought against this scourge of the armed forces. In the winter of 2012, she decided that the fat men in the army were a threat to national security. Michel, known for her love of rigid diets, prescribed bread with bran and told the military to stop eating fat.
Military dietary ideas do not like. But what about all the inspections there, with the commissions, under the influence of the president’s wife, which became especially critical? Truly American ingenuity helped to find a way out of the difficult situation for the overgrown soldiers and officers.
Before each planned weighing, on the move chewing cheeseburgers, fat men in whole units line up in line for ... liposuction.

According to him, hackers managed to gain access to more than 1000 power plants in the United States and Europe.
The hacker attacks, the specialist noted, were conducted from the territory of Russia, which “is not very characteristic of her”. According to Kennedy, attacks on the power system may be associated with disagreements between the Russian Federation and the United States over the Ukrainian events.
