Kazimierz - the winner of the monuments
The burgomaster of the Polish town Penenzhno (former East Prussian Melzak) Kazimierz Keido authorized the dismantling of the monument to Soviet General Ivan Chernyakhovsky - a man whose active participation was Poland freed from the Nazi occupation, and later - after the death of the general - also became East Prussian territories.
Action "Military Review": Write a letter in Penenzhno
"Military Review" sent a request to the mayor Penenzhno Mr. Keido about how much he specifically needs to collect silver coins, so that the bas-relief of General Ivan Chernyakhovsky was transferred to one of the Russian museums? In addition, Mr. Penenzhno from the "VO" was asked about his personal attitude to the fact if the authorities of the Smolensk region, for example, decided to dismantle the memorial dedicated to Polish soldiers in Katyn? Mr. Keido ignores official media requests so far, which also shows how freedom of speech and work of the media is “developed” in a single area supervised by Mr. Keido ...

One of the most discussed topics related to the situation in terms of steps to combat corruption is the arrest of the head of the Republic of Komi Vyacheslav Gaizer and almost the entire republican elite. The press service of the Investigative Committee of Russia provides a complete list of Komi officials, in respect of whom criminal cases were initiated under various articles of the criminal code. In addition to Gaizer, who is charged with organizing a criminal community and fraud on a large scale,
Deputy Head of the Republic Alexei Chernov, Chairman of the State Council of Komi Igor Kovzel, Deputy Chairman of the Republican Government Konstantin Romadanov, former Senator from the Republic Yevgeny Samoilov, as well as a group of officials who in the RF IC were called "technology financiers." The members of this group are Pavel Marushchak, V. Molyarov, D. Moskvin, A. Goldman, V. Veselov, I. Kudinov, A. Faershtein, L. Libinzon, N. Motorina, M. Khruzin.
In the case of Gaizer arrested accounts for a total of 500 million rubles, as well as about 400 thousand dollars. Moreover, if Gaiser and Co. were initially charged with fraud and the creation of a criminal community, then after several days of investigative actions, the article 174.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - “Legalization (laundering) of money or other property acquired by a person as a result of committing a crime” was added.
The investigation continues, and the main question that interests many Russians is: can it be that, having written its version of the hit about slippers, will the Gaiser be innocent, or will it be released by a sudden DRC? ..
By the way, a few days after the “closure” of Gaizer, the Investigation Committee distributed information about the arrest of the former head of the Republic of Karelia Andrei Nelidov, who received a bribe in the amount of half a million rubles from a local businessman for the right to conduct economic activities on the territory of the Kizhi Museum-Reserve. If the RF IC will work at the same active pace, it will soon have to build a separate multi-tiered insulator for current and former representatives of the bureaucratic corps confusing "personal wool with the state" ...

Took for Faberge?
The head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Alexander Zakharchenko, did not disregard the statement of the President of Ukraine regarding the fact that "now with the mistake of the previous authorities, related to the non-aligned status of Ukraine, it is over." This statement Poroshenko made following a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who visited Ukraine. At the same time, the president of “Square”, as well as his representative at the Minsk talks, Leonid Kuchma, said that a referendum could be held in Ukraine on leaving the non-aligned status and joining NATO.
Alexander Zakharchenko said that if Kiev really brings the matter to the holding of a referendum on Ukraine’s entry into NATO, the DNR and LNR can bring the matter to the cleaning of the entire territory of Donbass from Kiev's “Vlady”. In other words, the head of the DPR quite specifically took Kiev for "Faberge." And here it doesn’t matter in principle whether Zakharchenko is bluffing or not - in any case, the prospect of obtaining an independent Donbass will be heard in the Maidan skull boxes.

The All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), with an interval of one day, conducted two remarkable sociological surveys. In the survey No. 2934, the research group inquired about the mood of Russians in the social sphere, and in the survey No. XXUMX, the authors tried to find out what thoughts Russians have when they are in touch with Russian-Ukrainian bilateral relations. At first glance, there is nothing in common in these two sociological surveys, but upon careful study you can draw attention to the fact that the results of one survey seem to follow from the results of another.
Questions of sociological research clearly hinted that if the Russians declare about the loss of prospects and dissatisfaction with social programs, the root of the problem can easily be linked to the situation in the Donbass. Whether this is such an option of psychological training: relax, because you can always find something to blame and someone, or some new vector of “public sentiment” is being laid - say, they say that Russia supports LDNR militia - and it is supposedly we need ...

A member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Konstantin Dobrynin, launched an initiative to equate the “rehabilitation of Stalinism” with extremist activity. The bill proposed by Senator Konstantin Dobrynin, who is the deputy chairman of the Federation Council’s committee on constitutional legislation and state construction, states that any materials in which “Stalinism” will be rehabilitated should be recognized as extremist materials, as well as materials “rehabilitating persons involved in crimes Stalinist regime. "
It turned out that the proposal to "burn with fire and sword" of "Stalin's rehabilitators" was the last creative of Senator Dobrynin in his legislative post. A member of the upper house of parliament, already with the prefix "ex", is transferred to another important "front of struggle" - in the position of State Secretary of the Chamber of Lawyers, dealing with relations with the authorities - the same Federation Council, as well as the State Duma, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Cabinet and others That is, in the case of Konstantin Dobrynin, it can be stated that he exchanges one chamber for another ...

Ukraine intends to resume control and management of airspace over the Black Sea, for which she plans to join the NATO regional air security program. This was reported by the. Head of the Ukrainian Mission at the Alliance Egor Divk.
Well, if divine informed, then there can be no questions. Of course, the control of the airspace over the Black Sea Ukraine will most certainly be restored! It is understandable: they themselves dug themselves and control ... And besides the control over the heavenly abysses, Ukraine will “restore” control over the earth and deep sea abysses. Why are there abysses ... How much more Ukraine will have unused potential to control something ... Mars, Jupiter, Saturn ... Alpha Centauri ... And this is just before lunch ...

Economy pipe or pipe economy?
A couple of weeks ago, Minister Ulyukayev and his subordinates from the Ministry of Economic Development "worsened" the scenario of Russia's socio-economic development up to 2018 of the year. The Ministry of Economic Development predicted the average cost of a barrel of oil in the fourth quarter of 2015 in the 38,7 dollar. Realizing the dependence of the country's economy on the oil “needle,” after the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Finance now issued a forecast. Minister Siluanov also talks about raw materials. According to the “stressful” macro prediction, in 2016, 30-35 dollars will be given for a barrel of “black gold”. It seems that the bad habit of sitting on a pipe has led the Russian authorities to the darkest pessimism.
While the ministers give gloomy predictions and guess the coffee grounds, we will make a number of the most simple journalistic conclusions. They, too, will not be fun.
First, there is a strong dependence of the Russian economy on world oil prices. And this is the saddest fact. Old fact.
Secondly, there is another dependence: Russia, no matter how sad it may be to admit, has turned into a raw materials appendage of the West, and depends largely on this West itself. Import substitution is empty words for now. For many years the country was sitting on a barrel of oil, buying equipment and technologies “over the hill” and taking loans there. And now the time has come for sanctions, and instantly there were problems everywhere. They affect today; they will affect and in the future.
Thirdly, in the coming years, the government will resort to large loans in order to carry out “social projects” (the number has already been announced - a trillion rubles). The budget is likely to be “reduced” with a chronic deficit, as in Yeltsin's memorable years.
Fourthly, in the medium term, the crisis will hit the oil industry, which is still very little, but fills the budget. If sanctions continue in the coming years, the oil industry will suffer further due to equipment failure: there will be an acute shortage of foreign components.
As a result, a few years later, somewhere in the 2020 year, our half-blind government will finally make out those disadvantages of the trade-raw model of "development" of the economy, which Russian financial officials and oil and gas top managers continue to focus on today.

Tales about the "new Afghanistan" in Syria
Russia made it clear that it will participate in resolving the Syrian crisis. And she showed that she could take this step without a nod from Washington. The White House is alarmed: how to respond to such behavior in Moscow? Earlier, strategists in Washington believed that with the Russians it was possible to agree on the issue of “fighting terrorists” in Syrian territory; you can even include them in the "coalition". However, these hopes have now collapsed. Military experts admit that the coalition will create Russia, Iran and Syria. At the same time, the “Afghan scenario” for Russia is rejected.
there are news, so to speak, on the other hand. A video appeared on the Internet made by militants of one of the terrorist groups operating in Syria. The gangsters claim that Russia's activity in relation to Syria will cause "additional support" for those who support the overthrow of Assad - that is, first of all, the militants themselves. Saudi Arabia was named as the main support force. Representatives of the terrorist group were noted and threatened against Russia: “Syria for Russia will become a new Afghanistan. She will send her soldiers here and take the coffins back. ”
Currently, the Syrian army has begun to use new types of aircraft and ground weapons provided by Russia.
The head of the Syrian Foreign Ministry Walid al-Moualem recently said that Russia had provided his state with a new weapon and instructors for troop training. Damascus, he said, is ready to call on the Russian military to fight as part of the Syrian army, if necessary.
According to an unnamed source of "Reuters" in the Syrian army, the Russian military support for Damascus is increasing, and the weapons "are very effective and very accurate."

First airplanes, then talk
The Wall Street Journal, citing its sources, claims that at least four Russian fighters have arrived at the air base near the Syrian city of Latakia. "The arrival of Russian fighters was first recorded on Friday, a few hours before the conversation of the head of the Pentagon Ashton Carter and the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Shoigu," - indicates the publication. Sources have refrained from assumptions about how Russia intends to use the aircraft, but noted that these are “Soviet aircraft designed for air combat.”
To this information you need to add something. Bmpd's blog LJ posted pictures taken by a commercial satellite and published on Twitter by the Institute for the Study of War. It is stated that the photographs are Russian Su-27, located at the airport of Basil al-Assad (Latakia province). The blogger believes that “judging by the aircraft’s seemingly front horizontal tail, it’s probably Su-30CM multi-role fighters”.

Eternal theme for western orchestra
The paranoid theme of “The Russians are coming!” The writer and journalist Eric Margolis devoted his article. "Russians seem to have sent six tanks to Syria, he writes, a little medium artillery and a group of military technicians at two bases on the coast (near Latakia). But the American Republicans have already started their song about the "evil Soviets" (sorry, Russians), these "arsonists of the war" who intervened in the Syrian military conflict for the fifth year and plan to build a new base on the territory of this strategically important Middle Eastern country. "
And who is this talking about evil Soviets? United States? Why, they have placed around 800 bases and military installations around the world!
Thanks to the American failures in the Middle East policy and the threat of “IG”, the Kremlin today has a good chance not only to gain a foothold in the region, but also to oppose the “world order” led by the “hegemon” with its own vision of the world. The multipolar world, the concept of which is acceptable to Russia, is replacing the aggressive Western “unipolarity” with its dubious “values”, “humanitarian interventions” and the division of terrorists into “bad” and “good”.

Approved by the White House?
We thought and thought American strategists, and decided: we don’t need to think further, everything was invented by the Russians. The "top" news of the last days were reports about the likely support of the White House of Moscow, which helps Syria fight the "IG". Washington is ready to provide Russian intelligence data. In fact, we can talk about some restoration of contacts between the United States and the Russian Federation. The West is to blame for the bloodshed in Syria and in Ukraine, some analysts say, and Putin has the key to a breakthrough.
Until now, Washington has not publicly made such cooperation offers to Moscow. It is likely that the hegemon’s policy in the Middle East is changing. There are several factors at once: air strikes of a coalition led by the United States did not lead to victory over IG; in the United States, the scandal about the “combed” intelligence reports on the activities of ISIS is growing (probably, Petangon, underestimating the problem, tried to put its actions in front of Obama in a favorable light); Russia openly supplies Assad with weapons and equipment.
In such conditions, the “key” is really located at the Kremlin, and the White House has to take this into account. It is impossible not to take into account: if the White House keeps silent, Syria, Russia, and Iran will do without it. And this is something Washington cannot allow - it is tantamount to a complete fiasco in the Middle East and even the loss of the status of a world hegemon.

Shotguns instead of chairs
Recently, the Greek Coast Guard detained the Haddad 1 cargo ship, which supposedly was carrying plastic furniture for refugees arriving in Europe from the Middle East. The destination of his route, according to a representative of the Greek Coast Guard, was Misrata (Libya). Interested persons from Turkey assure that the ship’s route ran to Sudan. The Haddad 1 came from the aforementioned Turkey under the Bolivian flag; The team was made up of Egyptians, Syrians and Indians. During the search, the Greek Coast Guard found in containers not tables and chairs, but weapons and cartridges.
The largest publication that responded to the attempt to transport a batch of weapons was the International Business Times (British edition). September 18 on the site of the publication appeared an article by Umberto Bacchi (Umberto Bacchi). A high-ranking coast guard official confirmed to the journalist that the cargo ship was following in Misrata (Libya). Currently, this city is under the control of the Islamist group "Dawn of Libya." Meanwhile, arms shipments to Libya are under embargo against the UN.
It is also reported that the Greek authorities have not yet established where the weapons were loaded on the ship. It was assumed that this is the city of Iskenderun in southern Turkey, in 50 km from the border with Syria: it was in this port that the Haddad 1 visited before it was intercepted by the Greeks.
A Coast Guard official admits that smugglers wanted to exchange weapons for oil. The Libyan rebels, despite the civil war, are trying to trade in "black gold". It is quite possible that Turkey, known for the support of “Dawn of Libya”, stands behind the failed deal. The publication also recalls that "Dawn" took control of Tripoli in 2014 year, squeezing the internationally recognized government and sitting in the chair "competing administration." In February, 2015, the prime minister of the ousted government, argued that Turkey was "arming its rivals." This statement by Ankara was denied.
Of course, the goods have not only the manufacturer and the seller, but also the buyer. The investigation continues. Most likely, the assumption of the Libyan destination and the Turkish trace will be confirmed. In the end, Ankara is not the first time to support the “moderate opposition” in one way or another.

The “unity” of the European Union never ceases to amaze. After the authorities of a number of Eastern European states announced that they did not intend to open doors for African and Middle Eastern refugees, cries of indignation were heard from the West. For example, French President Hollande announced that if Eastern Europe is not accommodating on the issue of refugees and quotas on their distribution, then France may impose sanctions against specific EU states.
It seems that in some EU countries the introduction of sanctions has become fashionable. But it was not unheard of close-up mistrale trader that, in response to him, the countries of Eastern Europe might unanimously resent the next extension of anti-Russian sanctions and not approve the “package of measures”. The statement of Hollande, embodied in the decision, could lead to the collapse of the European Union. And to the "sbycha" dreams of Parisian Marine Le Pen.

Among the potential candidates for the presidency of the United States from the Republican Party there is not a single peaceful person, says publicist Paul Craig Roberts. In his opinion, which he expressed in the new article, even the woman Carly Fiorina is the instigator of the war. After all, she is ready to send Putin a “message” by means of military threats: “Having met with Vladimir Putin, I will not speak to him at all. We have already told him too much. What I will do immediately is to start restoring the Sixth Fleet, I will start restoring the missile defense program in Poland, and I will regularly conduct aggressive military exercises in the Baltic countries. I will probably send several thousand soldiers to Germany ... "
In parallel with the Roberts article in the American press, there appeared material by Senator Marco Rubio (a Republican senator rushing for presidency). This one said bluntly: Putin has attacked international security, and Washington must respond to him and "help the victims of the Russian aggression."
And even Donald Trump, who this summer was ready to “make friends” with Putin, now pretends to be “macho”. According to the billionaire, B.H. Obama does not help Ukraine enough, which has to defend itself against the military offensive of the Russian-supported rebels. “Our president is weak; all that we hear today is just empty words, ”he said, speaking in videoconference mode at the Yalta European Strategy Kiev Forum. “Part of the problem for Ukraine and the United States is that Putin does not respect our president at all.”
Unfortunately, the programmatic statements of potential US presidential candidates are really based on "force" decisions and the thesis of the "Russian threat": it has become fashionable both among Republicans and Democrats to label Russia as a geopolitical enemy, criticize "weak Obama" and invite the American people into a bright democratic future, where the United States is once again becoming the generally recognized world leader, and the Russians are crushed by sanctions, frightened by the Pentagon and NATO and are ready to return the Crimea to Ukraine along the Ural Mountains.

There is nothing surprising. The West has embarked on the path of a slow but surely eliminating the memory of the victory of the Soviet people in World War II. They try to rewrite in a new way. history, downplay the role of our country in this victory. And how can you belittle it, if our monuments say something completely different? So they destroy these monuments so that the future generation will not even ask questions on this topic. And the dismantling of the monument to Chernyakhovsky, one of the "bricks" to eliminate the memory of that war and write their distorted understanding of that segment of history.

In other words, the head of the DPR quite specifically took Kiev for "Faberge." And here it doesn’t matter in principle whether Zakharchenko is bluffing or not - in any case, the prospect of obtaining an independent Donbass will be heard in the Maidan skull boxes.

Does NATO agree to accept them? Actually, then you have to change the NATO charter, or recognize the Crimea as Russian and the DNR / LNR outside the ruins. Idle chatter is everything. As ours took an active stance on Syria, some informational movement immediately started, accusing us of all mortal sins. Looks really on the corn came.
They asked - they were answered
The All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), with an interval of one day, conducted two remarkable sociological surveys. In the survey No. 2934, the research group inquired about the mood of Russians in the social sphere, and in the survey No. XXUMX, the authors tried to find out what thoughts Russians have when they are in touch with Russian-Ukrainian bilateral relations. At first glance, there is nothing in common in these two sociological surveys, but upon careful study you can draw attention to the fact that the results of one survey seem to follow from the results of another.
Questions of sociological research clearly hinted that if the Russians declare about the loss of prospects and dissatisfaction with social programs, the root of the problem can easily be linked to the situation in the Donbass. Whether this is such an option of psychological training: relax, because you can always find something to blame and someone, or some new vector of “public sentiment” is being laid - say, they say that Russia supports LDNR militia - and it is supposedly we need ...

I have a question for the forum users, has anyone at least once participated in at least one social question?

As taught, the question already has half the answer. What question you ask, you will get such an answer.

Do you seriously think that this question is a provocation? In my opinion, with all the clumsiness of this survey, there is much more positive here. First, VTsIOM recognizes the support of the Russian militia, and probably implies not only political. And it shows that for Russians, helping the militia is more important than good relations with Ukraine.
Secondly, the main customer polls VTsIOM is the state.
The purpose of this question is to identify the number of those who disagree with the support of the Donbass militia, to read both the people of Donbass and their movement towards independence, and of the further movement towards Russia.
And not least, this survey was conducted on the eve of elections in the Donbas. The other day, Lavrov said that we can’t influence the elections to the DPR, LPR and their date, and these elections are spelled out in the Minsk agreements, and this does not contradict them. Ie there will not be such as in the year when Putin asked to wait with a referendum in the Donbass.

Chamber No. ...
A member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, Konstantin Dobrynin, launched an initiative to equate the “rehabilitation of Stalinism” with extremist activity. The bill proposed by Senator Konstantin Dobrynin, who is the deputy chairman of the Federation Council’s committee on constitutional legislation and state construction, states that any materials in which “Stalinism” will be rehabilitated should be recognized as extremist materials, as well as materials “rehabilitating persons involved in crimes Stalinist regime. "
It turned out that the proposal to "burn with fire and sword" of "Stalin's rehabilitators" was the last creative of Senator Dobrynin in his legislative post. A member of the upper house of parliament, already with the prefix "ex", is transferred to another important "front of struggle" - in the position of State Secretary of the Chamber of Lawyers, dealing with relations with the authorities - the same Federation Council, as well as the State Duma, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Cabinet and others That is, in the case of Konstantin Dobrynin, it can be stated that he exchanges one chamber for another ...

I would like to ask those who accuse Stalin of all mortal sins: “Stalin accepted the country with a plow and left it with a nuclear bomb. And all this in 29 years. And what have you, gentlemen, liberal-democratic reformers, did in 24 ? Do you have something to boast about? "
"I planted, shot ..." We did not shoot the last 24 of the year and didn’t plant 58. On the contrary, all the traitors had time to go in power. A natural decline in the population considered? And because of what happened, thought? When people are not sure about tomorrow. When women do not give birth, because they do not know what they will be fed and in which apartment children will be raised. When youngsters in 15-17 don't know Russian in the volume in which any Uzbek knew him in 1953 ...
That is when, gentlemen democrats, liberas-all-human, will do something like what Stalin did, and then they will have the right to discuss whether it is good or bad. For now let them answer for themselves, for what they have done.

Stalinism is different. And opinions about this historical phenomenon are diametrically opposite. An unequivocal position on this matter is very difficult to form. What remains unchanged is that the person in power did not steal, and he was just afraid to think about it, there was more order now, and the Americans woke up in the cold at night at the thought that “Russians are coming”, and not boundless as in our time. This is food for thought ...

Ukraine intends to resume control and management of airspace over the Black Sea, for which she plans to join the NATO regional air security program. This was reported by the. Head of the Ukrainian Mission at the Alliance Egor Divk.
Well, if divine informed, then there can be no questions. Of course, the control of the airspace over the Black Sea Ukraine will most certainly be restored! It is understandable: they themselves dug themselves and control ... And besides the control over the heavenly abysses, Ukraine will “restore” control over the earth and deep sea abysses. Why are there abysses ... How much more Ukraine will have unused potential to control something ... Mars, Jupiter, Saturn ... Alpha Centauri ... And this is just before lunch ...

Economy pipe or pipe economy?
A couple of weeks ago, Minister Ulyukayev and his subordinates from the Ministry of Economic Development "worsened" the scenario of Russia's socio-economic development up to 2018 of the year. The Ministry of Economic Development predicted the average cost of a barrel of oil in the fourth quarter of 2015 in the 38,7 dollar. Realizing the dependence of the country's economy on the oil “needle,” after the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Finance now issued a forecast. Minister Siluanov also talks about raw materials. According to the “stressful” macro prediction, in 2016, 30-35 dollars will be given for a barrel of “black gold”. It seems that the bad habit of sitting on a pipe has led the Russian authorities to the darkest pessimism.
While the ministers give gloomy predictions and guess the coffee grounds, we will make a number of the most simple journalistic conclusions. They, too, will not be fun.
First, there is a strong dependence of the Russian economy on world oil prices. And this is the saddest fact. Old fact.
Secondly, there is another dependence: Russia, no matter how sad it may be to admit, has turned into a raw materials appendage of the West, and depends largely on this West itself. Import substitution is empty words for now. For many years the country was sitting on a barrel of oil, buying equipment and technologies “over the hill” and taking loans there. And now the time has come for sanctions, and instantly there were problems everywhere. They affect today; they will affect and in the future.
Thirdly, in the coming years, the government will resort to large loans in order to carry out “social projects” (the number has already been announced - a trillion rubles). The budget is likely to be “reduced” with a chronic deficit, as in Yeltsin's memorable years.
Fourthly, in the medium term, the crisis will hit the oil industry, which is still very little, but fills the budget. If sanctions continue in the coming years, the oil industry will suffer further due to equipment failure: there will be an acute shortage of foreign components.
As a result, a few years later, somewhere in the 2020 year, our half-blind government will finally make out those disadvantages of the trade-raw model of "development" of the economy, which Russian financial officials and oil and gas top managers continue to focus on today.

Ulyukaev is similar to the 1 channel: he embellishes the situation, does not negotiate the bad, and when it becomes clear, makes his face a brick for something else, but in the same way: embellishing, not talking ... He is not a predictor for the president, but a CARRIER for the population. Yes, and also: it is not difficult to be a raw materials appendage, but very easy. The difficulty is different: to be this appendage, but to want and demand, and even behave like a country with developed industry and industry.

The main risks for the Russian economy were created and are being created by the very existence of “our” (?) Economic block of the government.
In form, they look like Russian people, but in content ... the devil knows! But lack of competence and lack of talent on the face. One should not even talk about foresight - there are no such literate people there. And really decent and smart people are afraid to let the power, because they will have to answer many questions.
Is it really possible (by tradition, perhaps?) To be replaced by incompetent officials? Or to force events and “extinguish the fire” - is this national fun?
It is extremely unpleasant when, at the expense of the population, commerce covers its costs, as with the prices of gasoline and energy carriers (which are pulling at all). Really, until they really start to score, do not calm down? The habit of impunity and permissiveness, however.

Tales about the "new Afghanistan" in Syria
Russia made it clear that it will participate in resolving the Syrian crisis. And she showed that she could take this step without a nod from Washington. The White House is alarmed: how to respond to such behavior in Moscow? Earlier, strategists in Washington believed that with the Russians it was possible to agree on the issue of “fighting terrorists” in Syrian territory; you can even include them in the "coalition". However, these hopes have now collapsed. Military experts admit that the coalition will create Russia, Iran and Syria. At the same time, the “Afghan scenario” for Russia is rejected.
there are news, so to speak, on the other hand. A video appeared on the Internet made by militants of one of the terrorist groups operating in Syria. The gangsters claim that Russia's activity in relation to Syria will cause "additional support" for those who support the overthrow of Assad - that is, first of all, the militants themselves. Saudi Arabia was named as the main support force. Representatives of the terrorist group were noted and threatened against Russia: “Syria for Russia will become a new Afghanistan. She will send her soldiers here and take the coffins back. ”
Currently, the Syrian army has begun to use new types of aircraft and ground weapons provided by Russia.
The head of the Syrian Foreign Ministry Walid al-Moualem recently said that Russia had provided his state with a new weapon and instructors for troop training. Damascus, he said, is ready to call on the Russian military to fight as part of the Syrian army, if necessary.
According to an unnamed source of "Reuters" in the Syrian army, the Russian military support for Damascus is increasing, and the weapons "are very effective and very accurate."

The Syrian army is fighting for its survival and is a more serious ally than the Armed Forces. If they and their families are defeated, death awaits them, so they will fight to the end. And in Afghanistan, betrayal by the local army was commonplace. We are all wrong for them. And now those who used to shoot at each other, they quietly live there together and provide heroin traffic.
First airplanes, then talk
The Wall Street Journal, citing its sources, claims that at least four Russian fighters have arrived at the air base near the Syrian city of Latakia. "The arrival of Russian fighters was first recorded on Friday, a few hours before the conversation of the head of the Pentagon Ashton Carter and the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergei Shoigu," - indicates the publication. Sources have refrained from assumptions about how Russia intends to use the aircraft, but noted that these are “Soviet aircraft designed for air combat.”
To this information you need to add something. Bmpd's blog LJ posted pictures taken by a commercial satellite and published on Twitter by the Institute for the Study of War. It is stated that the photographs are Russian Su-27, located at the airport of Basil al-Assad (Latakia province). The blogger believes that “judging by the aircraft’s seemingly front horizontal tail, it’s probably Su-30CM multi-role fighters”.

Eternal theme for western orchestra
The paranoid theme of “The Russians are coming!” The writer and journalist Eric Margolis devoted his article. "Russians seem to have sent six tanks to Syria, he writes, a little medium artillery and a group of military technicians at two bases on the coast (near Latakia). But the American Republicans have already started their song about the "evil Soviets" (sorry, Russians), these "arsonists of the war" who intervened in the Syrian military conflict for the fifth year and plan to build a new base on the territory of this strategically important Middle Eastern country. "
And who is this talking about evil Soviets? United States? Why, they have placed around 800 bases and military installations around the world!
Thanks to the American failures in the Middle East policy and the threat of “IG”, the Kremlin today has a good chance not only to gain a foothold in the region, but also to oppose the “world order” led by the “hegemon” with its own vision of the world. The multipolar world, the concept of which is acceptable to Russia, is replacing the aggressive Western “unipolarity” with its dubious “values”, “humanitarian interventions” and the division of terrorists into “bad” and “good”.

Approved by the White House?
We thought and thought American strategists, and decided: we don’t need to think further, everything was invented by the Russians. The "top" news of the last days were reports about the likely support of the White House of Moscow, which helps Syria fight the "IG". Washington is ready to provide Russian intelligence data. In fact, we can talk about some restoration of contacts between the United States and the Russian Federation. The West is to blame for the bloodshed in Syria and in Ukraine, some analysts say, and Putin has the key to a breakthrough.
Until now, Washington has not publicly made such cooperation offers to Moscow. It is likely that the hegemon’s policy in the Middle East is changing. There are several factors at once: air strikes of a coalition led by the United States did not lead to victory over IG; in the United States, the scandal about the “combed” intelligence reports on the activities of ISIS is growing (probably, Petangon, underestimating the problem, tried to put its actions in front of Obama in a favorable light); Russia openly supplies Assad with weapons and equipment.
In such conditions, the “key” is really located at the Kremlin, and the White House has to take this into account. It is impossible not to take into account: if the White House keeps silent, Syria, Russia, and Iran will do without it. And this is something Washington cannot allow - it is tantamount to a complete fiasco in the Middle East and even the loss of the status of a world hegemon.

The Americans clearly did not expect that Russia would so actively and suddenly fit on the side of Assad, and now they are scratching turnips, what to do and how. It seems that they themselves called in the anti-IHIil coalition, but they thought that they would obediently go in the wake, and the Russians, like in Kosovo, entered the march-throw, and in fact now the initiative will again proceed to the Assad troops. It is necessary for the staff to somehow digest and understand how to proceed.
Shotguns instead of chairs
Recently, the Greek Coast Guard detained the Haddad 1 cargo ship, which supposedly was carrying plastic furniture for refugees arriving in Europe from the Middle East. The destination of his route, according to a representative of the Greek Coast Guard, was Misrata (Libya). Interested persons from Turkey assure that the ship’s route ran to Sudan. The Haddad 1 came from the aforementioned Turkey under the Bolivian flag; The team was made up of Egyptians, Syrians and Indians. During the search, the Greek Coast Guard found in containers not tables and chairs, but weapons and cartridges.
The largest publication that responded to the attempt to transport a batch of weapons was the International Business Times (British edition). September 18 on the site of the publication appeared an article by Umberto Bacchi (Umberto Bacchi). A high-ranking coast guard official confirmed to the journalist that the cargo ship was following in Misrata (Libya). Currently, this city is under the control of the Islamist group "Dawn of Libya." Meanwhile, arms shipments to Libya are under embargo against the UN.
It is also reported that the Greek authorities have not yet established where the weapons were loaded on the ship. It was assumed that this is the city of Iskenderun in southern Turkey, in 50 km from the border with Syria: it was in this port that the Haddad 1 visited before it was intercepted by the Greeks.
A Coast Guard official admits that smugglers wanted to exchange weapons for oil. The Libyan rebels, despite the civil war, are trying to trade in "black gold". It is quite possible that Turkey, known for the support of “Dawn of Libya”, stands behind the failed deal. The publication also recalls that "Dawn" took control of Tripoli in 2014 year, squeezing the internationally recognized government and sitting in the chair "competing administration." In February, 2015, the prime minister of the ousted government, argued that Turkey was "arming its rivals." This statement by Ankara was denied.
Of course, the goods have not only the manufacturer and the seller, but also the buyer. The investigation continues. Most likely, the assumption of the Libyan destination and the Turkish trace will be confirmed. In the end, Ankara is not the first time to support the “moderate opposition” in one way or another.

The obvious flow of information. The ship was detained by the Greeks when it was in transit, as I understand it, that is, the cargo was not subject to customs clearance at the transit port, but went under customs seals and with declarations to the port of destination. Trough just intercepted in the Terr. waters and forcibly searched. If every tub in those places to inspect, then the customs of any health is not enough. So the guys were clearly on a tip from someone interested in the interception of cargo.

Well, quite real, in what Sudan they brought it. Just the nature of the loads 1 to 1. If contracts are raised and Sudan intercedes, they will be released.
On the other hand, the question is in competitors. Sudan is the largest arms smuggler supplying Libya with them according to the principle: whoever pays, we will give Syria (including the IG, the most significant and luminous - FN-6, from which 2 Mi-35 was shot down in Iraq and HJ-8), and even to Sinai it ships the games. If the ship is Turkish competitors smugglers, Sudan will be interested to break their business.

The “unity” of the European Union never ceases to amaze. After the authorities of a number of Eastern European states announced that they did not intend to open doors for African and Middle Eastern refugees, cries of indignation were heard from the West. For example, French President Hollande announced that if Eastern Europe is not accommodating on the issue of refugees and quotas on their distribution, then France may impose sanctions against specific EU states.
It seems that in some EU countries the introduction of sanctions has become fashionable. But it was not unheard of close-up mistrale trader that, in response to him, the countries of Eastern Europe might unanimously resent the next extension of anti-Russian sanctions and not approve the “package of measures”. The statement of Hollande, embodied in the decision, could lead to the collapse of the European Union. And to the "sbycha" dreams of Parisian Marine Le Pen.

Among the potential candidates for the presidency of the United States from the Republican Party there is not a single peaceful person, says publicist Paul Craig Roberts. In his opinion, which he expressed in the new article, even the woman Carly Fiorina is the instigator of the war. After all, she is ready to send Putin a “message” by means of military threats: “Having met with Vladimir Putin, I will not speak to him at all. We have already told him too much. What I will do immediately is to start restoring the Sixth Fleet, I will start restoring the missile defense program in Poland, and I will regularly conduct aggressive military exercises in the Baltic countries. I will probably send several thousand soldiers to Germany ... "
In parallel with the Roberts article in the American press, there appeared material by Senator Marco Rubio (a Republican senator rushing for presidency). This one said bluntly: Putin has attacked international security, and Washington must respond to him and "help the victims of the Russian aggression."
And even Donald Trump, who this summer was ready to “make friends” with Putin, now pretends to be “macho”. According to the billionaire, B.H. Obama does not help Ukraine enough, which has to defend itself against the military offensive of the Russian-supported rebels. “Our president is weak; all that we hear today is just empty words, ”he said, speaking in videoconference mode at the Yalta European Strategy Kiev Forum. “Part of the problem for Ukraine and the United States is that Putin does not respect our president at all.”
Unfortunately, the programmatic statements of potential US presidential candidates are really based on "force" decisions and the thesis of the "Russian threat": it has become fashionable both among Republicans and Democrats to label Russia as a geopolitical enemy, criticize "weak Obama" and invite the American people into a bright democratic future, where the United States is once again becoming the generally recognized world leader, and the Russians are crushed by sanctions, frightened by the Pentagon and NATO and are ready to return the Crimea to Ukraine along the Ural Mountains.

The horror of how inadequate they are, and all their campaigns are built on hatred for the whole world, of course, especially for Russia. Only Vladimirovich quietly does his job.

In vain do you think so, very adequate, it’s just that their military-industrial complex has grown so much that without orders and wars, the United States will quickly begin to fade and it will cover you with crises. This monster of theirs constantly demands money, naturally, all senators and applicants have their rations from this. All these tales, they say, the United States produces so much and half the world feeds (like the whole Ukraine fed the USSR), - bikes.

At the General Assembly, it is necessary to discuss and condemn the very concept of “American exclusivity” and recognize this thesis and policy aimed at implementing this thesis as the most dangerous international threat leading to the self-destruction of human civilization.
