Russia sent a humanitarian convoy to the east of Ukraine, since it could no longer wait amid the urgent need for assistance for the residents of the region, Russia's permanent representative to the organization Vitaly Churkin told a press conference at the UN. Sending humanitarian aid "without coordination" with Kiev was condemned by the United States, Canada, and a number of EU countries. At the same time, the United States even began to threaten with new sanctions for the delivery of humanitarian aid by Russia to Lugansk ...
Sanctions for the delivery of humanitarian aid - this, of course, is strong! No wonder the meeting of the UN Security Council in Ukraine Vitaly Churkin called the kingdom of crooked mirrors. The "friends of Ukraine" who gathered at the meeting really reminded the heroes of a famous fairy tale: Abazh, Anidag, Asyrk, over whom 77-th is leading his Jagupop (in this situation - 44-th ...). Obviously, separate forces stand behind Jagupop 44, sometimes removing black fabric from his cage, giving him the opportunity to show his plumage and shout about democ- ratory, at this time throwing new sweet grains into the yagupop cage, so as not to decay ...

Ukrainian scientists are becoming more active. If many of them had previously looked for evidence that the first person on earth was wearing an oseledets and crimson trousers, now they have taken on the genetic memory of drinking water, which comes from Russia as humanitarian aid. The next stage of the activity of Svidomo ukroprofessors should be the search for the divine essence of Poroshenko and the immaculate conception of Lyashko.

At the conference of speakers of the parliaments of the Baltic countries, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, held in the Lithuanian city of Palanga, the speech of Mr. Turchinov was the highlight of the program. The old Europeans, the young and the non-Europeans learned from his lips not only that Ukraine in five years, thanks to the reforms, will join NATO and the EU, but also that Ukraine, it turns out, is protecting the European Union from the “Russian aggression”.
So they live. That Poland and Romania are protected by all other EU countries from the “Iraqi” and “North Korean” nuclear strikes by providing seats for the US missile defense system, then Ukraine, by spreading its statehood and destroying its own people, protects the EU from the “Russian aggression”. With such and such defenders, constantly demanding to “gild the handle,” Europeans should feel completely safe. Safe, so to speak, to the ears ...

On Thursday, August 21, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov met with the representative of the Red Cross, Laurent Korba. The meeting discussed the delivery of humanitarian aid to the east of Ukraine and the facts of the use of heavy artillery and prohibited types by Kiev weapons. Following the meeting, Antonov said that great attention was paid at the negotiations to the situation when the Ukrainian authorities are delaying clearance of humanitarian supplies ..
Russian KamAZ trucks were tested, as they say, along and across. The FSB officers searched for cyborgs-transformers, then FSB officers hiding under sacks of flour and sugar, or the newest Russian nano-tanks, which have advanced stealth technology, and therefore are easily hidden between crystals in bundles of salt. At that time, information came from the militia that the sabotage groups of the so-called National Guard were trying to mine the roads on the way of the subsequent movement of the humanitarian column. The militia managed to capture members of one of these groups.
On Friday, after numerous checks, the first KamAZ trucks with Russian humanitarian aid began following in the direction of Lugansk.
The American spy satellites instantly switched to convoy trucks to “shoot” footage of how GRU special forces fighters would jump out of the mentioned nano-tanks and jump out transformers with Russian flags under the guise of trucks ...

Flag - on rags, tank - to fight for the harvest of dill
The DPR militiamen said that on Wednesday evening the enemy was beaten out of Ilovaisk and established control over the entire city. Earlier, the Council of National Security of Ukraine reported on the capture of Ilovaisk, pointing to minor losses of the security forces.
Ilovaisk, Yasinovataya, Sands are under the complete control of the militia fighters. The Ukrainian flag, about the installation of which on the city council building boldly reported to UkroSMI, found its “decent” place among the rags for cleaning the weapons of the militia. In the militia claim the death of at least 40 ukrokrateley near Ilovaisk, as well as new "gifts" from ukrov in the form of abandoned armored vehicles. One of these "gifts" - the tank T-72, which will now serve for the DNI.

In Ukraine, a new “fun” appeared - to sow stuffing in the media, and then demand confirmation from the security forces. This time, this “fun” turned into a complete fiasco for Kiev. UkroSMI spread material that allegedly Russian military equipment entered Lugansk, but ...
This “information” unexpectedly for UkroSMI was denied by the speaker of the information and analytical center of the Security and Defense Service of Ukraine, Mr. Lysenko. He said that intelligence does not confirm the arrival of a column of Russian military equipment in Lugansk.
Lysenko surprised all Svidomo Ukrainians, accustomed to scooping "information" from the settling tanks of ukroSMI. How is that, - the Ukrainian viewers were surprised, - it was only just now that our sunflower president reported that the ukroarmia “defeated the Russian military convoy of 70 units of equipment”, and there it is! Is it crystal clear Poroshenko lied to us! No, no, no and no again! This is again the intrigues of the Kremlin, which, under the guise of the head of the National Security and Defense Council information center Lysenko, led through the Ukrainian FSB's recoded channels to his twin, which had spread the “monstrous lie”, recoding the FSB.

Petro Poroshenko, who calls himself President of Ukraine, signed a law that allows the police to use weapons, physical strength and special means in the Donbas without warning. After the signing of such a law, the police, who continue to support the Kiev junta, become a priori higher than any resident of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions in their rights.
Who else in Ukraine doubts the correctness of the “supreme” actions? If someone has such doubts, and this person also lives in the Donbas, then Kiev has already prepared for him the fate of the American student Michael Brown. Why warn when everything can be resolved "peacefully" - "all" six shots, and democracy has taken place! Students here are clearly trying to surpass their teachers from the United States. The teachers applaud the Ukrainian "prodigy." Sit down, Petyunya, five! ..

In the war of sanctions found extreme
Not wanting to suffer losses due to the Russian sanctions imposed in response to the sanctions of Europe, the wicked Europe attempted to bypass the cordons of the Rosselkhoznadzor in a roundabout way. Poland, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Slovenia and other EU countries that supported sanctions against Russia participated in the fruit and vegetable fraud. However, the Rosselkhoznadzor turned out to be vigilant: the apples that the cunning Poles tried to pass off as “goods from Zimbabwe” and imported through Belarus were intercepted.
It clarifies the channel "RT", while suppressing the “re-export” of banned European vegetables and fruits, within a few days, shipments of apples, peaches, plums and tomatoes through Belarus were recorded either without specifying the country of origin, or indicating that the products were shipped from Turkey, Serbia, Macedonia and a number of African countries, in particular, Zimbabwe.
Russian inspectors stopped production due to the lack of phytosanitary documents from countries of origin. Documents or were not provided, or turned out to be suspicious.
However, Apple Poland, as the reader will understand from further material, gets out of a difficult situation with a grief in half. But in the Baltic countries, the retaliatory sanctions of Russia hit extremely painfully.
Moscow's ban on imports of agricultural products from EU countries could ruin the livestock industry in Lithuania, said the chairman of the Agricultural Chamber of Lithuania, Andrejus Stancikas. He writes about it "Lenta.ru" with reference to ITAR-TASS.
The Russian embargo hit the dairy and meat sector. Fallen purchase prices for milk and meat make agricultural production unprofitable. “There is a real danger that only crop production will remain from agricultural production in Lithuania,” said the chairman of the agricultural halls.
According to estimates of the Lithuanian government, which Lenta.ru brings, the meat industry will miss 250 million litas (73 million euros), dairy - 200 million litas (58 million euros), crop (vegetables and fruits) - 28 million litas (8 million euros ), fish - 5 million litas (1,5 million euros). Such in financial terms will be the influence of the Russian retaliatory sanctions.
And in neighboring Latvia they already lived up to the destruction of the harvest.
According to "Sight", because of the Russian embargo, Latvian vegetable growers in the Pure, Dobele and Jelgava farms have to destroy their crops.
“The situation is quite threatening, since at the moment it is necessary to throw out cauliflower, zucchini, seasonal goods,” Edita Strazdini, the leader of the cooperative Mūsmāju dārzeņi, sadly noted.
It is also noteworthy that not only did the Latvians lose the Russian market, but in the last two weeks they were overwhelmed with Polish products, which successfully compete with the local ones due to lower prices. The efficient Poles, indicates the publication, managed to sell their products to the Baltic countries.
Latvian suppliers have also lost profits from the transit of goods through their territory. Cheese, meat, fish, tomatoes, paprika, peaches, nectarines from Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, France, Hungary and Norway went to Russia through Latvia earlier. Now - everything, stop the car.
Estonians ... They have not had time to count anything. As the “Vzglyad” writes, their retaliatory sanctions from Russia “were generally taken by surprise”. And "the first reaction of local authorities" to the sanctions "followed only a few days later."
True, the economist of the Bank of Estonia Caspar Oja managed to predict something. According to his calculations (approximate), because of the war of sanctions, Estonia will lose thousands of jobs from 1,5 to 2. And the head of the Estonian Milk Producers Union, Jaanus Murakas, announced a drop in purchase prices for milk. It is not excluded that dairy products will soon appear on the shelves of Estonian stores - in packs in Russian.
Well, it will be similar to Soviet times, we add from myself.
Thus, as expected, the “extreme” countries of the Baltic states were revealed in the war of sanctions. Latvia will have Polish apples, Estonia should drink its own milk with etiquette in Russian, and Lithuanians, who are already prone to suicide, apparently have no choice but to immediately increase the amount required from Russia for “occupation”.

Apples harm the Polish brain
Ryszard Henryk Charnetsky, Deputy Chairman of the European Parliament, representing Poland, suggested increasing the sanctions pressure on Russia and excluding the ruble from the global financial turnover.
Charnetsky quotes RIA "News":" The Russian ruble should cease to be a convertible currency, the ruble should be excluded from international financial circulation. "
Such an idea Charnetsky expressed not in the walls of the European Parliament, but in the Polish Sejm, where, apparently, the deputies observed a clear overdose from excessive consumption of apples that did not fall into Russia. Whether with a rotten apple, or with a rotten brain of Mr. Charnetsky, who has nothing to do but to find reasons for a new stage in the confrontation of the European Union with Russia. To the joy of the United States, of course.
In fairness, it should be noted that the European Parliament also has sober heads that advocate the lifting of sanctions against Russia. These heads understand that the war of sanctions is the path to the destruction of the European economy. One of these MEPs is the representative of Latvia, Andrei Mamykin, who directly addressed Mr. Barroso with a proposal to end the sanctions confrontation with Russia.
The representative of Latvia is absolutely right. He knows what he is talking about. In the previous story, it was about the fact that savvy Poles, not letting the Latvians recover from the sanctions, managed to sell them a lot of their agricultural products, having played on the price difference.
It is difficult to say what Mr. Ryshard Henrik Charnetsky was pushing off from, trying to declare war on the ruble. However, according to poorly verified rumors, in Poland began the state struggle with crop surpluses. Now every Pole, starting with officials and deputies, and especially those individuals who faithfully serve the European Parliament, should take a direct part in eating excess fruit and fruit and vegetable crops. Eating is allowed to replace drinking. For example, apples can be transferred from a solid to a liquid state by preparing cider. They say that the Poles have already been appointed cider suppliers to the European Parliament’s buffet.
Hence the "strategic" statements of Mr. Ryszard. Today he declares war on ruble, and tomorrow, you see, he will fight his own liver ...

Frozen memory
Once again, a monument to Soviet soldiers-liberators in Bulgaria was desecrated by vandals. And this time the monument, located in Sofia, was filled with paint. It is reported by ITAR-TASS.
A message appeared on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, expressing outrage at another act of vandalism against the monuments of the Second World War in Bulgaria. The report says: “Deeply outraged by the desecration on the night of 18 in August by unknown vandals of the monument-burial of Soviet soldiers-liberators in the Sofia quarter of Lozenets. The sculptural composition of the monument and the wall with the names of the dead warriors in several places were covered with red paint. In connection with the outrageous act of vandalism that took place, a protest note was immediately sent to the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry demanding that measures be taken to prevent similar incidents from now on, to bring to justice those responsible for illegal actions and to bring the tombstone in order.
This is not the first case of the desecration of the Sofia monument. And earlier, vandals poured paint on the monument, then repainting it in the colors of the flag of the “guild” of homosexuals, then in the colors of the downs movement, which, ironically, coincide with the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
Residents of Sofia themselves express outrage at the actions of the vandals. According to one of the local residents, expressed on the social network, representatives of ultra-radical groups desecrate the monument, who are actually encouraged by local authorities, who are trying to show distance from Russia.
If local authorities are only trying to show distance from Russia, then the authorities of the country demonstrate this distance to the whole world.
On August 8, Vasil Shtonov, Minister for Economics and Energy of the Technical Government of Bulgaria, sent 18 to the Bulgarian Energy Holding Company ordering to suspend work on the South Stream project until it meets all the requirements of the European Commission. “Until the project meets the requirements of the European Commission, it will remain frozen”, - said the minister
It is curious that quite recently the same politician assured his people that the South Stream in Bulgaria will be implemented: “This project is important for Bulgaria, for Russia, and for the entire European community. One of the important conditions for its implementation in Bulgaria should be access to the “South Stream” of third countries ”.
What can you say? Wherever you look in the modern world, everywhere you come across a hegemon - the White House. We say the European Commission, we mean - the Oval Office ...

To help allies
In the north of the Laperuz Strait - directly on the sea border of the Russian Federation and Japan - Russian military personnel discovered the activities of a Japanese diesel-electric submarine. Presumably, this is a submarine of the "Oyashio" type. About this newspaper Kommersant, referring to its own sources in the General Staff.
It is reported that after the discovery of a Japanese submarine at the Russian sea borders, several Pacific Fleet ships and a sea aviation. Some time after this, the Japanese submarine departed from the Russian sea borders.
This is the second incident with a foreign submarine this month. Two weeks ago, an American Virginia submarine was discovered in the Barents Sea. To control the activities of the American submarine, several ships of the North were sent fleetas well as anti-submarine aircraft IL-38.
So that means the new military doctrine of the "hawk" Shinzo Abe!
This summer, the Japanese government adopted a resolution allowing the country's armed forces to act on the territory of other states. The main condition that Japan has set for itself: the need to protect "friendly countries". In late July, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida explained to Parliament that the threat to Japan would be ... the attack of enemies on the United States of America. In this case, Tokyo will defend Washington.
Here is the first result. Did the Russians dare drive away an American submarine from their borders? The Japanese immediately sent their boat to the borders of Russia!

About nuclear ash and a wolf in sheep's clothing
South Korea and the United States have begun annual joint “Ulchi Freedom Guardian” maneuvers aimed at testing the readiness of the armed forces for a possible North Korean invasion, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the Ryonhap agency.
North Korea perceived the beginning of the exercises negatively, calling them a rehearsal of nuclear war. Pyongyang’s public statement reads: “We once again declare that we will mercilessly strike the strongest ... preemptive strike at any time at our discretion.” It also notes that the North Korean army is ready to turn "the bulwark of aggression into a sea of fire and ashes."
The news of the nuclear "preemptive strike", which will turn the United States "into a sea of fire and ash," was continued a couple of days later.
North Korean State Defense Committee called out United States Secretary of State John Kerry "wolf in sheep's clothing." At the same time, curiously, the Department of Policy of the State Committee accused the American diplomat of infantilism. It is precisely infantilism that, apparently, the department explained the fact that the Secretary of State advocates peace for the Korean Peninsula in words, but in fact the United States, together with South Korea, is starting military exercises. That is, Americans, like small children, do not really understand what they are doing.
Then the State Committee’s policy department told the world about the incorrigible American hypocrisy: “His (Kerry) behavior once again explicitly indicates incorrigible American hypocrisy. The US is cheating and mocking humanity using all sorts of tricks. ”
But this type of behavior cannot be called infantile, you see.
As for Mr. Kerry himself, his home in a long time nicknamed "Pathological liar." His other unflattering characteristic is: “A doll hired by Exxon and Goldmann Sachs, which has no conscience and does not have a shadow of remorse on its face.”

Who killed Fowley?
The video of the execution of the American journalist James Fowley, published by the Islamic State militants, caused a great public outcry. The international community was indignant even more when it became clear that the native of Great Britain could have been the executioner. In this regard, the British Prime Minister interrupted his vacation and immediately flew to London.
Representatives of the counterterrorism unit of Scotland Yard said they were going to study the video execution of the journalist.
Family Fowley has already confirmed his death, according to "Vesti".
Representatives of the administration of the American president also said that the video of the brutal massacre was likely genuine.
It is worth noting that the day after the execution of Fowley, publications about a secret operation sanctioned by Barack Obama appeared in a number of media. This summer, the US military tried to free the hostages held by the Islamic State, including the journalist, but failed. As it turned out, they had already been transported from the place where the operation was performed.
Among the prisoners that the Pentagon was trying to free was Stephen Soltoff, another American journalist whose life, as the militants said, depends on the further decisions of the American president.
Recall that before the execution of the militants forced Foley read the appeal to the United States and "condemn" targeted air strikes on the positions of the militants of the "Islamic state" in Iraq. The actions of the American military were called “the last nail hammered into the coffin lid” of the journalist. The terrible video ends with a man with a closed face beheading Fowley.
In addition, the representative of the "IG" warned that if the US did not stop the air raids, then Stephen Soltoff will be executed.
“His life depends on your next step, US President Barack Obama,” said the masked man in the video, holding the captive who, according to him, is Soltoff.
Well, and the main detail: the mask spoke good English. With a British accent ...

Mr Obama prefers foreign Maidan
This week, additional “law enforcement officers” from the National Guard were transferred to the American town of Ferguson. Suppression of protests, tear gas - all this has become a common phenomenon. Black Obama appealed to the black residents of Ferguson calling for peace, but that did not help either. It became finally clear that Obama prefers foreign Maidan.
In the city of Ferguson, in the state of Missouri, 21 lives a thousand people, of which approximately 60% are negros. More than a week in the town there is a confrontation of residents with the so-called forces of law and order. The riot of the townspeople began after a policeman shot and killed 18-year-old unarmed black Michael Brown. Neither the state of emergency nor the night curfew prevented clashes.
President Obama urged residents to "calm and unity," but no one obeyed this call (rather strange, given that the protesters are just one). When dispersing protesters, the police repeatedly used democratic means: tear gas, smoke bombs. The crowd responded with bottles. The servants of the White House acted quite democratically and with the press: for example, there is information that the police arrested the photographer Getty Images in the town. Apparently, he shot not the wrong way.
Barack Obama at a special speech 18 August said that he understands the "emotions and anger" caused by the death of a teenager. Apparently, he really understood something, for he further informed that in the USA there is a "gulf of distrust" between local residents and the police.
Probably in order to widen this gulf, the Governor of Missouri, Jay Nixon, signed a decree on the deployment of units of the US National Guard in Ferguson.
Earlier, the captain of the road patrol service Ron Johnson (Negro), appointed by the state authorities responsible for maintaining law and order in the town, told citizens that forty FBI officers were investigating Brown’s death. He did not specify why so many of them are needed, but he told the Fergusons that the investigation would be fair.
Another ridiculous statement. So, it is implied that the EFBA members usually conduct investigations unfairly?
All this hype ended up in the restless state of Missouri, another person was killed. A bullet from a policeman was received by a resident not of Ferguson, but of St. Louis. This city is located about three miles from the epicenter of the protests, called the American "Maidan".
Sam Dotson, who heads the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, confirmed the death at a press conference. According to him, the man who was shot dead threatened with a police knife.
The murder of an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, the “cleansing” of the town by “law enforcement officers” using completely totalitarian methods, and then the murder of another person in a nearby city clearly demonstrate to the world what kind of democracy the United States came to in the 21st century.
Shoot everything that moves - this principle is armed not only with the American police, but also with the army.

US will not save Europe from the "Russian energy bear"
According to the idea of the White House strategists, whose policy cart has long been placed in front of the horse of the economy, American shale gas will reduce dependence on Russian supplies to the EU countries.
Back in March 2014, B.H. Obama gave a speech, where he gave a lot of loud promises. For the sake of "punishment" of Russia for the "annexation" of the Crimea
But is it true?
Jay Zawacki is CEO of HavePower, LLC, which creates the infrastructure for gas production, and at the same time is a professor of commerce at the University of Maryland. In the article for "The National Interest" He points out that meeting the needs of Europe with American gas is an impossible dream.
Horizontal directional drilling and “fracking” in the oil and gas industry prevented a decline in US production. However, the expert notes with irony, if the Obama administration’s flexible accounting allows “to spend the dollar twice,” then “the same natural gas molecule cannot be spent (that is, burned) a second time.”
In other words, the United States cannot simultaneously solve two tasks: a) to become an energy independent power; b) protect Europe from the “Russian energy bear”.
Therefore, hopes for the export of liquefied natural gas to Europe - just a pipe dream of politicians. In fact, this is nothing to think about.
First, there are no pipelines through which natural gas from the United States would flow to Europe. Therefore, all gas destined for export to Europe will have to be liquefied and then transported across the Atlantic Ocean.
Secondly, in this case America will not have enough gas for domestic consumption. After all, even if the United States has already increased production in shale, the country still imports 1,3 trillion cubic feet of gas per year!
Third, the price. If you focus on the prevailing prices, then American LNG, taking into account liquefaction and delivery, will cost European buyers more expensive than 9 dollars per thousand cubic feet. However, there is competition. For example, Russian gas has a cost of 50 cents per thousand cubic feet. In addition, it is supplied through the finished pipeline in gaseous (non-liquefied) form. Hence, the expert concludes that Russia can significantly undermine the attempts of Americans to export LNG.
Fourth, the United States does not have the necessary capacity to liquefy gas and supply it to Europe. Capital expenditures on new objects will be expressed in decades of depreciation.
So, what we have in general and in general?
1. Previously, 2020 did not fear Russian competition, even if it was small, with American “shale gas”. This is recognized even by Obama himself, who proclaims himself the savior and benefactor of Europe (these backyards of the great American civilization). By the way, all B. B. Obama's long-term plans are nothing more than propaganda noise, since the presidential election will be held in the United States in late autumn 2016, and Obama is not Roosevelt to pull for a third term. In addition, Republicans are threatening to sue him.
2. The United States will not go on squandering gas across every Europe there, knowing that they themselves will remain without fuel.
3. Gas in the US is produced by private companies, and they are not driven by such crazy people as they are in the White House. Therefore, they will not risk competing with Gazprom. If Obama has a policy ahead of the economy, then everything is there where it should be.
4. Obama is not Harry Potter.
Finally, today's Europe, already full of Russian apple sanctions, will now think one hundred and forty-four times before listening to the hegemons from the Oval Office.
