Results of the week. “Every herring is a fish, but not every fish is a herring”
August 2 helicopter Mi-28 crashed on Aviadarts in the Ryazan Region. The crew commander was killed, the state of the co-pilot is assessed as satisfactory. As noted by the Ministry of Defense, the failure of the hydraulic system of the machine could lead to a catastrophe. The Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force temporarily suspended Mi-28 flights.
The "VO" columnist Roman Skomorokhov was present at Aviadarts. “The helicopter fell,” he says, “and with it all hopes that everything would be okay collapsed. Immediately, the military police cleared the passage for firefighters and ambulances. The fire was extinguished and the pilots were evacuated. <…> People have changed in an instant. Intense anticipation. Experience. In general, everyone present was worried, some more, some less. From the very beginning, Roman and I took our place a little apart from the rest of the press. In the corner under the control tower windows. And the helicopter fell just opposite us. A few minutes later, a whole bunch of people in blue had gathered. They silently and without stopping looked to where the firefighters shot down the flames from the burning helicopter. We watched every car that went to the crash site. Silently. "
“When the information passed that one of the pilots was alive, and the doctors were fighting for the second, he let go. But not for long.
We just looked at these people. We were with them. ”
"Military Review" expresses condolences to the family of the deceased commander of the crew. We wish the co-pilot a speedy recovery.

In the strictest secrecy
As the omniscient “Kommersant” found out, France transferred a well-known favor to Russian bank accounts under the strictest secrecy: more than 1,1 billion euros for two Mistral-type helicopter carriers. The secrecy is allegedly caused by the fact that the Kremlin was afraid of the arrest of money in connection with the YUKOS case. Russian equipment from ships will be completely removed in September. Probably, only then the French will be able to try to sell the helicopter carriers.
What will the French do with the Mistrals, which in September will become their full property?
Probably Paris will try to sell them. To whom? The Chinese? Indians? Canadians? No, to the European Union. Indeed, in the policy of Brussels last spring a new trend emerged - concern for illegal migrants.
Recall, May 21 TASS spoke about the initiative of the former Minister of Transport of France Thierry Mariani. In his opinion, the helicopter carriers could be sold to the EU and make them floating hospitals. On them, doctors would assist illegal migrants in the Mediterranean.
“This would save a lot of human lives,” says Mariani. On board could be deployed floating hospitals. Administrative and legal issues related to the granting of asylum to illegal immigrants would also be solved directly on board.
“What is € 1 billion for Europe, which constantly complains about the lack of forces and ships (to patrol the maritime borders of the EU. - Approx. TASS)?” Asked Mariani.
Also, the ex-minister noted that Paris froze the delivery of Russian helicopter carriers out of solidarity with other European countries. “Now it’s the turn of these countries to show solidarity with France,” he said.
Brussels, money for a barrel!

1. No prepayments, only interest on the fact of work performed, once a quarter.
2. In the case of unilateral termination of the contract, all costs are borne by the contractor, if the work was interest-return.
3. Every day overdue - penalty 0,1% of the contract value.
We believe that the delay on the first Mistral 6 months, roughly the price of 600 million €, the total penalty of 108 million €.
Not a fig gift.
Or is it all on the principle of "beat your own so that others are afraid"? Only strangers are not afraid and look at us as at fools.
According to the mind, there should be a penalty of at least 50% of the contract price.
The question of GDP is: where is 600 mln. €, well, at worst, the penalty 108 mln. €?

Who is to blame?
On the night of 29 on 30 in July, Comrade Churkin blocked in the UN Security Council a draft resolution on the establishment of a tribunal for the Malaysian Boeing, which suffered a disaster a year ago in the Donbas. Eleven members of the Security Council were in favor of the resolution, three abstained. Russia imposed a veto on the project. Later it became known that Poroshenko announced an alternative plan to investigate the disaster. The goal of a resident of Kiev is simple and clear: “to punish the guilty”. The verb "prove" in the lexicon of Poroshenko is missing.
The authors of the project blocked by Russia, without waiting for the publication of the final report of the commission on the investigation into the causes of the crash of the Boeing, are doing everything to designate the “guilty”, who is credited with the “crime”. It is not difficult to guess who can become this “guilty”: after all, Ukraine is among the five “interested” countries. Therefore, there is only one "criminal" - Russia, supporting the "separatists" who allegedly shot down the passenger Boeing. The expected Moscow veto on voting was necessary for Ukraine (or rather, the West) in order to declare: you see, they do not want to punish the guilty, because they are the guilty. Yatsenyuk said for good reason that the veto of the Russian Federation is "convincing evidence of the guilt of Russian terrorists and the Kremlin and a direct connection with the murder of innocent people."
That's all. It remains only to find a winding international way to "punish the guilty."

We have already fallen into this “trap” in the Yukos case. We agreed to an international court. And what did you get? And they got what our property is being described today by the decision of a court recognized by us abroad.
For Russia, the trap is the very belief in "world justice." Only an open investigation with the participation of Russia and the provision of all, I repeat - all, evidence of the involvement of anyone else.

Safe war
In Poland, a new stage of the war with monuments began. The city of Penengno was hindered by the monument to Soviet General Ivan Chernyakhovsky, who died in 1945. The bourmister of the city of Kazimierz Keido said that he would not give budget money for the dismantling of the monument: let the Poles take off and thus participate "in a symbolic act of restoration historical the truth. "
“I don’t want to make an empty hole in this place, tear down a monument, that's all. It is important for me to use the elements of this monument for the construction of another monument that will unite us all, ”said Keido earlier.
So, the authorities of the Polish city are planning not only to demolish the Soviet monument, but also to put in their place something “unifying”. By the way, the officer could more precisely say what really "unites" everyone, since the victory over Hitler cannot unite.
Keido only suggested that a monument in honor of European friendship could be erected in place of the Chernyakhovsky memorial. Or in memory of the victims of the war.
All this is symptomatic: the idea of winners is eradicated from the historical memory of entire nations year after year. Another thing - the "memory of the victims." Or a cosmopolitan "European friendship", on closer examination, it looks a lot like friendship with Washington.
The war with the Soviet monuments is explained by something else. It has long been on the planet of the USSR - a huge pink part of the political map of the world. And if so, there is no one to protect Soviet monuments. The objections of the embassy and, moreover, of the Russian deputies, the Polish authorities, who will issue sanctions to Russia together with the EU, will not take into account. Today’s Russia has neither the power of the USSR nor the political will equal to that of the Soviet. The Poles, behind whom stands the “European friendship”, understand this, that's why they are kicking monuments. War with them is safe.

Another discovery made by the Ukrainian "scientists": it turns out, even before our era, Ukraine, along with Ancient Egypt, fed all Oikumena (that is, the entire inhabited part of the earth, the term of ancient Greek geographers). About this Kiev magazine "Focus" told the doctor of historical sciences, writer and bandurist Dmitry Bely.
“I’m sure that Europe is in a certain sense afraid of our country,” he says. - Ukraine from the second millennium BC was the breadbasket for the whole Ocumene, along with Egypt. If we really develop our capabilities, we will make a huge competition to European manufacturers. ”
That's how it is! Now it is clear why Brussels is so afraid of accepting Ukraine into the European Union. Who needs "colossal competitors"? No, gentlemen, Ukrainians, go your Egyptian road.
Earlier, Ukrainian scientists reported that “Ukrainian is more ancient than Latin” (Kiev State University professor Alexander Shevchenko), “Ukrainians were the first to create writing”, and also “founded Troy” (head of the public council under the Ministry of Information Policy, professor Valery Bebik).
Well, it remains to prove that Jesus was a root Odessite.

In fairness: I saw, and, moreover, gave the globe of Moscow. Then it was a very popular joke. But for someone to take it seriously, including the 140000-year history ...
Looking at all this mental hospital, I ask myself: is a Ukrainian a nationality, position, diagnosis or sexual orientation (dupa to the West)?

All more or less educated people have long known that all ancient texts were translated from the language into Aramaic languages. Even the Anglo-Saxons could not refrain from borrowing from the divine Mova. So, thanks to the Ukrainian word "map" (map), the English map appeared. By the way, the ancient Ukrainian seafarers and mandrins who had discovered America a thousand years before Columbus used the maps. Then the truth, as unnecessary, they closed it and began to dig the Black Sea around the Crimea.
Voice fire
Due to the lack of ammunition, the fighters of the Netherlands army are taken to the exercises without ammunition. They were ordered to imitate the sounds of voice shots, RTL News reported. “Soldiers of the Dutch army are leaving the field with empty shops, and shooting is indicated by saying“ Beng-ben-beng, ”the Dutch edition asserts.
Local politicians and military experts do not approve of this form of training. “This practice adversely affects the morale of the armed forces,” they sigh.
Crisis is a crisis, you can’t do anything. Saved on cartridges - you can go further. Discard machine guns, machine guns and cannons and switch to wooden sticks. Or plastic toys. The latter will cost the budget more expensive sticks, but the soldiers will not have to yell “beng-beng-beng” on the battlefield. The main thing - do not forget to change the batteries in "weapons».
BMP can be built from plywood. Instead of airplanes you can fly kites into the sky. In short, crisis managers have a place to turn.

Smuggling destroy!
At the end of July, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the destruction of sanctions imported to Russia. The decree entered into force on August 6. The proposal to destroy the products imported illegally, put forward earlier by the Minister of Agriculture Alexander Tkachev.
3 August became aware of the counter-proposal received from State Duma Deputy Andrei Krutov. He wrote a letter to Tkachev in which he made the following proposal: send sanctions products to the Donbass.
This is a really sensible proposition, let us add. And not only because the destruction of food, when there are so many needy people in the world, looks like an ill-conceived action, but also because the provision of “separatists” with European food will cause considerable political shock to those gentlemen who have established smuggling supply chains. An even greater shock threatens those politicians whose countries would be implicated in humanitarian aid to the "rebels". How then can they look into Poroshenko’s honest eyes?
Nevertheless, from 6 of August Rosselkhoznadzor began to receive informational reports on the execution of the presidential decree. The destruction of food is done by crushing, burying and burning. Criticizing this government initiative and offering alternatives, one should still remember that this is a smuggling product with fake certificates. These products may well represent a danger to human health.

What, pride in coolness is bursting with?
So we are not yet rich enough to adequately support hospitals, orphanages and nursing homes along with the Donbas and a million Ukrainian refugees.
It is necessary and common sense to include instead of pshekovskoy arrogance, this issue has already been discussed on all sites for several days.

There was a proposal for processing - also an option. Though pigs will rejoice!
