Results of the week. "Who you are lucky, in fact, and will carry a cock, and such a bird as you, I, too, will rush!"
Stepan Poltorak, ex-commander of the so-called National Guard, appeared at the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine instead of Valery Geletey. His with the filing of Poroshenko on Tuesday approved the Verkhovna Rada. By the way, the Russian version of Wikipedia explains the origin of this surname as follows:
A silver coin of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania worth 1,5 pennies. Poltorak was about one Russian penny.
But Poltorak is the same person who not so long ago tried to explain how the situation in the “south-north” of Lugansk is developing ...
So, what does Ukraine expect from the new Minister of Defense? We present a list of "urgent" wishes "Svidomo" parts of the "Square":
a) holding a victory parade in Sevastopol;
b) the victorious campaign of the Ukrainian army on Moscow and the raising of the ukroflag over the Kremlin;
c) the capture of Vladimir Putin;
d) Russia's accession to Ukraine as a “colorado-vat region”;
e) so that the effect of drugs does not stop ...

Modern Ukraine, in the desire to somehow bite Russia, goes for real “feats”. The National Bank of Ukraine decided to celebrate the release of a commemorative coin dedicated to the 500 anniversary of the Battle of Orsha. At the same time, in the description of the coin with a nominal value of 5 hryvnia, the National Bank of Ukraine reports that in 1514, the “victory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania over the Russian state” took place.
The Ukrainian National Bank seriously believes that the “Ukrainian army” was involved in that victory, which, as it turns out, was a part of the Lithuanian army. Historians, after the NBU was prednicing such “facts”, thought for a long time about which liquids are used by employees, which allow them to isolate Ukrainian “parts” from the troops of the Lithuanian principality. Probably, soon the National Bank of Ukraine will issue a coin in honor of the epoch-making victories of the “Ukrainian army” in the Punic Wars to democratize the ancient world ...

Here we rzhem over Ukraine, which dug up the Black Sea, over the Ukrainian troops who had dined us under Orsha (by the way, the term "Ukrainians" did not yet exist in the ethnonym sense), over the language of Sancy, which came to Earth from Venus and having Ukrainian roots, and others waste ukromirovozreniya, but because young people in Ukraine believe in it! An entire generation has already been brought up on this nonsense, from the school bench in Ukraine they are taught to sign and shout "yak on Gilyak"! It will take another 50 years, and if the current state of things does not change, then we will get not just a completely different people from us. We will get an ENEMY, an enemy of FOREVER! The enemy is cruel, sophisticated in his cruelty, full of inescapable hatred towards us. And it will be irreparable. And future generations will curse us for the fact that we have missed the most ancient center of the Russian statehood, that they have looked through their fingers at the education of the ENEMY. And if we do not start an active counter-propaganda now, do not apply all possible forces and means in the information war for Ukraine, the Russian world will perish. And will not rise from the ashes, as before. For it will be divided, divided. And die. Forever and ever...

Ukrainian media continue to transcend themselves. During a speech on the 1 + 1 TV channel (the same one to whose office Lyashko dumped a mountain of manure), the mother of the deceased serviceman said that the enemy was using “weapon, from which everything is torn in my head. "
The use of "magnetic resonance" weapons by the militia against the Ukrainian security forces ukrosMI is judged by the words of a woman who claims that she lost her son in this war. If the son of this woman, and her name is Lyudmila Manyuk, really died in the Donbas, then you can understand her - from the grief of everyone you can slander. But where are the media? .. And if Lyudmila Manyuk had told ukroSMI from grief that the militia used “turbo-charged warheads filled with a hyperdense vacuum,” would that go on the air? .. There is no doubt - it would definitely go!

The anniversary celebration of the UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) was held in Kiev and other cities of Ukraine. The processions of the radicals under the banner of Nazism once again underlined the “European democratic choice” of what remained of the once flourishing Ukraine.
On the streets of Kiev, the Fahrion-Freedom Freedom Party brought all the PACKED “good men”. There were thugs with fascist banners hiding their disguises. There were retirees, for several hryvnia dressed up in the form of the Nazis from the UPA. There was another mass trash, who decided that her time had come.
The march and rally went into a carnage at the walls of the Verkhovna Rada. The participants demanded that the deputies recognize the UPA by World War II veterans with all the attendant benefits. The radicals again had steel chains and incendiary bottles in their hands. Police once again felt the “Ukrainian democracy”. Only here, for some reason, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not support the thugs, calling them as “the Kremlin horde”. Strange, and yet in February, Mr. Avakov called the same neo-Nazi evil fighters for the freedom of Ukraine. Or did Avakov’s entry into power automatically turn the status of protesters and protesters into “FSB agents”? And the State Department is silent about the suppression of democracy. AS?!

Attempt on Pavel Gubarev
The former Donetsk people's governor, Pavel Gubarev, was taken to a hospital in Rostov-on-Don after the assassination attempt. His car was fired upon by unknown. It is noted that Pavel Gubarev received serious injuries. It is reported that the car hit a pole after several shots at the car by unknown persons. After that, the car was stolen for some reason.
Two days after the assassination attempt, Pavel Gubarev regained consciousness. Employees of the investigative authorities of the DPR found his car. On Pavel Gubarev's Facebook page, his wife Catherine left a note with the following words (spelling and punctuation of the source are preserved):
During the investigative actions, the car in which Paul was moving at the time of the attack was found. The car has damage to the right front of the collision with a reinforced concrete transmission line, as well as four bullet holes in the rear of the car and shot through the wheel. One of the bullets was stuck in the backseat of the car, where Paul was at the time of the incident. The investigator who conducted the inspection said that Pavel was lucky! According to preliminary estimates, the car was spread out at speed and probably due to damage to the wheel by a bullet, the car lost control.
Attached are photos of the car. Judging by the photos, in terms of information about the collision of “Audi” with a reinforced concrete support, and even at speed, Catherine clearly confuses something ... Anyway, Pavel Gubarev needs to wish health.
After some time, the DPR declared that the suspects in the attempted assassination of Pavel Gubarev were detained. However, it is not reported yet about who these people are, how exactly the assassination occurred, and who is its organizer. I would like from the investigative bodies of the DPR objectivity in investigating this high-profile incident with one of the leaders of the Novorossia party, if such an investigation is possible at all today. But, at least, the passage about the collision of “Audi” at speed with the reinforced concrete pylon of the power transmission lines should be clearly excluded from this investigation.

Kangaroo leader
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott - the one who already a couple of hours after receiving information about the MH-17 crash blamed Russia, now states that he will have a tough talk with Vladimir Putin at the G-20 summit regarding the perpetrators of the Boeing crash. At the same time, Abbott used the term “shirtfront”, which in the slang of Australian players means a direct collision with an opponent with the aim of dropping him on the ground.
Abbott's statements are painfully similar to those of a yard shorty, who boasts that he "puts down" anyone he meets on his way. The same little man usually gives the first streokach when it comes to engaging in business, and then tells how it was necessary for others to act.
Abbott's words caused ridicule in the country itself kangaroo. Tasmanian senator Jackie Lambi said that with her statements the prime minister once again emphasized his political immaturity. Well, and where is there something to ripen, then? Green Continent - Green Prime ...

Psaki looking for Kamyzyak
After numerous statements by official representatives of the US State Department that they did not recognize the results of these or other elections in Russia and other countries of the world, the Central Election Commission of Russia decided to take up the US State Department in the original vein. October 13 of this year addressed to US Secretary of State John Kerry, Deputy Chairman of the CEC of the Russian Federation S.Vavilov sent a letter in which he asked to say whether the US State Department recognizes the election results in the village of Volga-Caspian of Kamyzyaksky district of Astrakhan region.
After receiving such a letter, Jen Psaki must have been working in her office for a very long time, studying the location of Kamyzyaksky District and its strategic importance for building world democracy on a map. At that moment, Tulupova’s citizen, who is mentioned in the appendix to the letter as a vigilant local resident who found a violation during the elections, strongly ikalas. And people passing by the building of the Central Election Commission heard the rolling laughter of Vladimir Churov, sticking stamps on envelopes with a request to comment on the elections in 80 with more than subjects of the Russian Federation.

Drunk Zaporozhye muse
Greater mockery of the memory of the soldiers of the Red Army who died during the years of the Great Patriotic War, and the veterans who now live in Ukraine, it would seem difficult to imagine after yesterday’s events to celebrate the anniversary of the UPA. However, the authorities of Zaporozhye decided to surpass even Kiev in mockery.
During the concert dedicated to the anniversary of the heroic crossing of the Red Army across the Dnieper during the Great Patriotic War, the organizers showed a scene in which heroes dressed in Red Army uniform show scenes of violence against heroines dressed in Ukrainian national costumes in the form of a dance. Invited veterans experienced a real humiliation of the action, which showed Zaporozhye "overly creative" team.
However, according to the organizers, they are not understood. The dance was not shown what everyone thought. It turns out that the scenes of beatings and attempts to tear dresses on girls in Ukrainian outfits had to be interpreted as the fact that the sisters and mothers do not want to let their brothers and sons go to the front, and they still want to go to the front line, and therefore they have to use force even to relatives.
That is, apparently, the audience should have thanked the organizers for the fact that the “heroine sisters” “Red Army men” did not even beat them with their feet ...
Who is the author of this crazy script? .. He also needs to give a prize, at least, to the name of Viktyuk ...

Export adjustment
The interview of the first (and last) President of the USSR to the Rossiyskaya Gazeta gives reason to think about why Gorbachev suddenly changed his rhetoric regarding the West. If until recently it was difficult to imagine that this person would allow himself to at least have any critical statement regarding Washington and Western “democracy” as a whole, now Mikhail Sergeyevich seems to have been replaced.
Mikhail Sergeevich said that the West through 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall begins to build a new wall. A few days before, the chief ideologue of perestroika noted that the West had approached such a moment that it needed to restructure itself. If someone in the US or in the EU heard this statement of Gorbachev, then he must have been baptized for a long time ... After all, if Mikhail Sergeevich understands the term “perestroika” in relation to the West, it is exactly the same thing that resulted in the USSR we are only for ... Well, you can’t violate the principle of "equality and fraternity." The Soviet Union “restructured”, which means that at least the United States must be restructured.
And Mikhail Sergeyevich definitely needs to exploit the advertising slogan: “You haven’t had any perestroika yet, then I’m coming to you!” It will not be good if the West refuses the Nobel Peace Prize laureate to realize the initiative ...

What will happen to the rearmament program?
While some representatives of the Russian authorities say that the economic sanctions of the West will not significantly affect the Russian economy, since Russia is looking for and finding new trade and economic partners, others are already announcing the need to curtail or revise certain programs. Among those government officials who say that it is impossible to carry out a number of state programs under existing schemes is the Minister of Finance of Russia Anton Siluanov. According to the head of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, the situation for Russia today is such that the developed program for the modernization of Russian weapons to 2020 in its original version is impossible.
The government is going to revise the rearmament program. The stated reason is that, given the current economic conditions, the budget may not be able to pull out the expenses mentioned earlier. However, as the government officials themselves say, the new program will incorporate the high-tech sphere, and will also allow for effective control of public investment in the implementation of the defense order.
Words about the effectiveness of control spending are not the first time. But it just so happens that with all existing programs and departmental regulatory bodies, the amount of misuse of funds just grows. Will it be possible to break this trend this time? Or is Russia expecting a large-scale attempt to write off government flaws on Western sanctions? ..

Tomb of Fahrion
After the agreements were reached in the format of the so-called Minsk meeting of the contact group, the life of a number of deputies of the Verkhovna Rada seemed too dismal. For example, the deputy from the Svoboda Party, which is positioning itself as the mouthpiece of the neo-Nazism of Svoboda, suggested “consolidating the success” and ending the war by introducing the Ukrainian army into Moscow.
“Svobodovtsy” in the week were generally in shock. Apparently, the day of the "UPA" acted on them as a full moon on the unclean. The idea to dash at Moscow was also supported by a woman with incessant itching in an interesting place - Ms. Fahrion. This lady declared that she lives on Earth only for the sake of Moscow being destroyed. Well, it can be stated that the life of this “warrior with language” will be lived in vain. The only thing that can comfort her is that the followers of such delusional ideas after the death of their “cast-iron lady” precisely erected a standing tomb for her — maybe even on the border with Russia — the ground seized for building the Wall won't disappear. And there will be on the Square a new landmark - the tomb of Fahrion, and next to it - the Pyramid of Orphan, which he will impose at the sight of the real Russian army, "walking" along the border line ...

most, silent - it means they are satisfied.
You say they are afraid, they are intimidated. Then what are they brothers to us. After all, they do not even need to be beaten, it is enough to intimidate them - after shouting a word to Heroes of Fame! Talk like: "Well, you forgive us, we're brothers" should no longer roll.
Our brothers (Donetsk and Luhansk) are now dying on the territory of the whole of New Russia, because they were not afraid to be OUR brothers. They did not accept the new Fascist ideology that had been vaccinated from the west. Ukrainians chose to abandon their brothers, their past (present and future), their ancestors, the great feats of these very ancestors. We created new, non-endeavor ones - and who are they after that? They changed themselves, they betrayed themselves, in the name of what?
I propose more to stop tolerating the fact that we (the citizens of Russia) want to put us on knives or somewhere else. Since the general line of official Kiev is this, it means you are not brothers to us, comrades Ukrainians. And the enemies.
You need to answer for your words. Shout that we are your enemies, that you are going to cut us, do you like it? Well, then what are you better than Wahhabis. It turns out that you need to stop.
And one day we will stop you. Just stop not as brothers, but as enemies. Russian harnesses for a long time, but if it harnesses, it will reach Berlin.

Gas pause
The “clear and reasonable” proposals of Ukraine are partially revealed by the Russian Minister of Energy, Alexander Novak. The official declares the existence of a document that the Ukrainian side sent to the European Union. In this document, Ukraine notifies Brussels that it will start paying debt only when Russia resumes deliveries. That is, a logic that the Ilfo-Petrovsky fitter of Mechnikov, who uttered the famous phrase: “money in the morning, chairs in the evening,” clearly would not support. Kiev wants chairs in the morning, chairs in the afternoon, chairs in the evening, chairs in the night ... And money? .. What more money? ..
In general, Ukraine again puts the favorite “ultimatum”: either Gazprom supplies us with gas for nothing, or we start stealing it from a pipe through which blue fuel goes to Europeans. Good choice ...
Vladimir Putin commented on the statements of Kiev. According to the president, Russia will have to reduce gas supplies in the event of Ukrainian theft. Putin reminded the Europeans that in the 2008 year they had to do just that, and only after that it really got to the “partners” that Ukraine needed to be pushed into a contract.
Apparently, this time the EU will not understand the whole complexity of the issue until it feels that there is not enough gas ... So, the sooner Yatsenyuk gives direct instructions to gas, the faster Yatsenyuk himself will sign any contract to be prepared. "Partners" do not like to feel cold because of someone else's fault ...

Happy future
October 16 Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in the Serbian capital to negotiate and participate in the celebration of the seventieth anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade from the Nazi invaders.
How is the channel "RT", during a meeting with the head of Serbia, Tomislav Nikolic, the President of the Russian Federation said that a favorable future awaits Russia and Serbia.
"I believe that in the next three years, the cumulative amount of investment will reach 6 billion dollars or even 10 billion dollars," the president said in a statement. TASS.
By refusing to support the sanctions policy that Washington directed for vassal Brussels, Belgrade won economically, and won in the long run. Supplies of Serbian products to Russia are growing at a record pace today, and tomorrow the volume of trade between the two countries will increase significantly. The “sanctioners” from Western Europe, who despised the economy for the sake of politics, actually lost the Russian market. No wonder that there are portraits of Putin everywhere in Belgrade.
And what is there mother Europe? And she declares through its media controlled by the puppet governments, that Belgrade is not going that way and “allows it”! .. Well, of course, other noble Europeans are konderka shaking at the mere mention of Putin’s portraits ...

Russian submarines surround Finland
The Finnish authorities, following a media report that Russian warships (allegedly) impeded the work of the Finnish research vessel Aranda in the international waters of the Baltic, set out to receive comments from the Russian Federation on the incident.
Near the "Aranda" was allegedly seen a submarine. This incident occurred in early August, but it became known about him only 11 of October. Moreover, on September 2, a Russian helicopter flew up to the research ship several times, then a Russian warship approached it.
On Monday, October 13, the Finnish Transport Security Agency, through the mouth of the Finnish Telegraph Bureau, explained to a frightened local public that the government had not found any security threat in maritime "incidents." No one violated the rules of navigation, there were no dangerous situations.
Finns sleep well.

“During the summer-autumn period, the Finnish ship Aranda twice tried to get into the area where the surface ships of the Baltic Fleet worked on the tasks of the PLO. It is noteworthy that the Finns did this every time, despite the preliminary notification of the Russian side about the location of the maneuvers.
It is clear that the patience of the Balts turned out to be not unlimited ... As a result, when the Aranda, despite radio shouts, again became impudent and flooded where it should not be, the deck chopper was sent to the Finns from the board of the Boky corvette. When this did not stop the “hot Finnish guys,” Boky himself went to intercept the “Aranda”. First, the corvette lay on the countercourse, and then at full speed "cut" the Finns so that in order to avoid a collision, it was necessary to quickly turn away to the side "(source).

What is this intelligence court? Even to full amateurs in the field of sea vessels it is clear that this is a trough.

Ukraine wants to build communism in Poland
The Minister of Economy of Poland Janusz Piechochynski said that Kiev was interested in supplying Polish coal, but would like to receive it for free. “We heard that there is an interest in the Polish coal from the Ukrainian side, but at the same time they would like to receive it for free. I felt disgusted, to say the least. It is clear that the Ukrainian side is interested in the internationalization of the conflict, "the newspaper Vzglyad quotes the words of Pekhochinsky.
Now the Poles (and maybe someone else from the fraternal Europe) have finally understood how they see their future position in the European Union as “nezalezhnaya”. Everything is very simple: Ukraine joins the EU, the EU is building a paradise in Ukraine, Ukrainians live in paradise.
Brussels, of course, can ask Kiev why it is such a bitter plan to support a people that it does not want to support itself. Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk have a ready-made answer to this: the long wall that Kiev (or rather, the World Bank) agreed to build just now on the border will protect Europe from Russian aggressors. Ukrainians will become Putin’s main obstacle tanks, submarines, nuclear missiles, and forty thousand soldiers gathered to march around Helsinki. Europeans will have to pay for protection. Free coal from Poland - this is only the first communist application of Kiev economists ...

October 13 on the site RIA "News - Ukraine" A material appeared by Vladimir Matveyev under the title "Islamic State" and the United States threatens the security of Russia. " The author notes that the threat of one of the commanders of the "Islamic State" about a possible invasion of Russia, then replicated by the media, illustrates the mood of groups that dream of rejecting part of Russia’s territory in the Caucasus in order to create an Islamic state there.
Recall that extremists from the IG a month and a half ago stated that they were planning to “liberate” Chechnya and the Caucasus with the “grace of Allah”. Militants have translated their video message, addressed to V. Putin, into Russian. An Islamist was broadcasting from the cockpit of a fighter standing at a captured military airfield in the region of Tabaka in the province of Rakka (Syria).
Here are the lines from the text of the appeal: “This is a message to you, O Vladimir Putin! These are your planes that you sent to Bashar, we will, by the will of Allah, send them to you, remember this! ”

In the east the sun rises, and in the west it falls
October 13 in the framework of the visit of Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang Russia and China signed 38 agreements in various areas: energy, transport, banking, agriculture, space technology, telecommunications. Among other things, the governments of the PRC and the Russian Federation agreed to facilitate gas supplies via the Power of Siberia pipeline, and the Russian Central Bank and the People's Bank of China decided to hold currency swaps (a couple of rubles - yuan instead of dollars) for contract settlements.
Western sanctions were a double-edged sword. First, they (as well as retaliatory sanctions from Russia) hit the economies of those Western countries that connected to Washington’s pressure on Moscow. Secondly, the Kremlin has finally (perhaps already irrevocably, since the energy contracts are long-term) turned in the direction of the Celestial Empire. Thirdly, in the prevailing geopolitical situation, if not an anti-American alliance, then a strategic partnership, in which the parties bound by long-term economic agreements, will be forced to defend some common political position on the world stage, will emerge. Fourth, direct foreign exchange transactions between the PRC and the Russian Federation is the first nail in the coffin of the American dollar. And fifthly: in the world already today there is a little less than the American “hegemony”.

When people ask me, to whom we are closer mentally - to the East or to the West, I always say that to the East. Usually the interviewee is surprised. And I give an example of how my European acquaintance complained that he could not talk heart to heart because this is NOT ACCEPTED! You can talk with your friends or colleagues only about work, weather or similar on-duty topics. If you need to pour out the soul, then he goes to a personal psychologist.
It's crazy for me, because in this case I call my friends, we take meat, beer and go to someone to the cottage for a kebab. And many can simply pour out the soul of a casual acquaintance over a glass of vodka. And this is our normal.
So how can these Europeans, “honed” for personal success and a career, walk on their heads for the sake of additional profit, understand the bulk of the Russian people who were brought up and live according to completely different laws?
But Eastern people understand us more about it. That's why I say that we are mentally closer to the East. Although the special way has not been canceled. Apparently, only the same Russian can fully understand the Russian person.

The International Energy Agency lowered its forecast for oil demand growth this year at 200 thousand barrels per day.
October 14 at a trading session in Europe, Brent crude fell in price on the 3,85 dollar, dropping to the 85,04 dollar per barrel. The fall rates (–4,3 percent) were the highest since September 2011, notes "Lenta.ru" with reference to an article in The Wall Street Journal.
In the Western press, futurological opinions immediately sprang up, according to which oil prices will continue to fall, and Rosneft and Comrade. Putin's life draws a nightmare ahead.
Western gloating over the coming collapse of the Russian economy into a black hole seems more foolish than sarcastic. Who made oil break price records for several years? West.
Not Putin bombed Iraq and Libya. Putin did not climb with democracy to Syria (there is also oil there). It was the Middle East crisis, the Arab spring, the NATO bombing and anti-Iranian oil sanctions that caused the drop in oil supply on the world market, which could not but affect the rise in prices.
The West itself once played into the hands of the Kremlin, and at the same time its (American) oil owners, who had taken up the shale formations not so long ago.
Now, with the fall in oil prices, the strike will feel both the Russian and the American oil industry. Some Western futurists in quotes, rejoicing at the “collapse of Putin's empire”, forget about the forthcoming suffering of the White House: oil producers will stop unprofitable drilling (in oil shale, production profitability ends at 80 dollars per barrel) and thousands of workers are thrown into the street. The Obama’s Job Creator rating will fall along with the price of oil. This Nobel laureate of the world still Hollande envy!
Stick after all about the two ends, Mister soothsayers.

But the question of replacing the petrodollar with an oil tube-yuan is becoming more and more relevant.
Against the background of all that is happening personally, I was more interested in news Russia’s increase in gold reserves and gold mining, the dumping of US government bonds, and a decline in the share of dollars in its reserves.
Difficulties of defense vocabulary
US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said that the US military must be prepared to "deal" with the Russian army, which is "on the threshold of NATO." “The requirements for the US Army will become increasingly diverse and complex. The threat from terrorists and insurgents will exist for us for a long time, but we also have to deal with revisionist Russia, with its modern and efficient army standing on the threshold of NATO, ”lead the Pentagon’s words.
Hearing such speeches from an experienced sergeant warrior, Russian Defense Minister S. Shoigu was surprised.
“This testifies to the development by the Pentagon of scenarios of operations near the borders of our country,” сказал he reporters. Shoigu noted that he was personally acquainted with Chuck Hagel. And a recent speech, “in which the Russian armed forces were designated by the military adversary,” “surprised” him, moreover, “to put it mildly”.
The words of the head of the Pentagon tried to interpret Rear Admiral John Kirby. Standing next to Jen Psaki at a gosdepovskoy press conference, Kirby said that in the speech of Hagel "there were no threatening statements to any country," but "the situation around Ukraine and the actions of the Russian Federation force the US to support the infrastructure of its allies in NATO."
Journalists asked what Hagel had in mind when he called Russia "revisionist." The Rear Admiral replied: "It seems to us that their intention is to go back to the glorious days of the Soviet Union."
Finally, a military official was asked: how could Russia get closer to NATO? After all, it was the opposite: the North Atlantic Alliance approached close to the Russian Federation! Kirby said: "Obviously, President Putin looks at the issue like that, but we look at it exactly the wrong way." Psaki immediately assented, saying that the threat does not come from NATO, but from Russia.
We do not know whether Psaki, Kirby and Hagel will find Russia on the world map. But we know for sure: if Americans so often repeat the mantra about the “glorious days of the Soviet Union,” the past will turn into a future. The monument to Gagarin in Texas is already there. Why should the Statue of Liberty not give way to the concrete Joseph Stalin?

Welcome to the world of Putin
American Jeremy Jacques in the magazine "The Trumpet" he predicted that, despite Western sanctions, Vladimir Putin would not only "keep the chair", but even "politically strengthen in the long term."
Putin was "predicted in the Bible," the author reports. Speech on the "stunning prophecy" of John: "The number of cavalry troops was two darkness; and I heard his number. " (Revelation, 9: 16). The army in 200.000.000 men is much more people than lived in the world at the time when the prophecy was written.
The Bible provides many important details about this largest army. In Revelation 16: 12 we are talking about the "kings of sunrise", that is, the "confederation of Asian countries," the author believes.
But who will lead the campaign? The answer is given in the Book of Ezekiel, in chapter 38, in verses 1-2: “And the word of the LORD came unto me, Son of man! Turn thy face to Gog in the land of Magog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him. " Rosh, writes a publicist, is the ancient name of Russia.
Gerald Flurry, the editor-in-chief of The Trumpet, also developed this theme in the September issue of the magazine: “I firmly believe that Vladimir Putin is going to lead the army at 200000000 people ... I don’t see anyone on the horizon who can stand it!”
Another American publicist, Paul Craig Roberts, meanwhile darkly prophesies: If Ebola fever and global warming do not destroy humanity, then Washington will do it.
In this case, there is only one hope - the Holy Scriptures. More precisely, on Vladimir Putin. And 200 million men.
