Results of the week. “Where will I grub?”
Over the course of the week, the Syrian government army has been successfully attacking militant positions with strong support from aviation VKS of the Russian Federation. An offensive has begun in the suburb of Damascus, Jobar, which for more than two years has been under the control of terrorist groups, striking in the quarters of the Syrian capital.
Shots of the use of the Syrian armed forces of TOC-1A "Sun chain". Samantha Power is concerned...
The advancement of the Syrian troops is complicated by the fact that during the years of control over various territories of the country, the militants managed to create a whole network of underground passages, bunkers, warehouses and shelters, using which they continue to put up fierce resistance in the Damascus region, Aleppo, in the province of Lattakia. In order for the militants to have the opportunity to learn difficult to pronounce (for them) Russian words - “concrete bomb”, “Solntsek” and others - the Syrian soldiers and Russian pilots began to use the enhanced program of teaching the Russian language ... Intensive “great and mighty training courses” together with mobile "Tanning salons" for representatives of ISIL and al-Nusra operate in the provinces of Idlib, Homs, Hama, Dair Al-Zor, Aleppo, Lattakia and Damascus ...

During the week, the head of the Ministry of Economic Development, Mr. Ulyukayev, proposed raising the retirement age, bringing it to 63 years for both men and women. In the State Duma, the initiative was criticized, but after a few days, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced that the government would go on raising the retirement age - so far "only for civil servants."
Medvedev:
As you can see, the bureaucratic apparatus (if we are still talking about raising the retirement age for state officials) was nevertheless heard by the country's top leadership. Now deputies, deputies, pom, "sirs" and "peers" can continue the activity aimed at the indispensable care of the common people, even if some of them were already preparing to spend their well-deserved rest. At the same time, ordinary people constantly keep “in the tone” with statements saying that the retirement plan for “ordinary people”, they say, “should also be raised” - they say, “we have increased ourselves” ... In this connection, it is time to put forward rationalization a proposal that any valiant economic block of the cabinet of ministers would approve: raise the retirement age for “servants” right up to 100 years, and consider those who “intend” to live less to be an enemy of the people who do not want to dedicate their golden old age to active health and wellness lazhivayuschemu work.

"Crimean, the daughter of an officer" tensed? ..
In October, an active phase of the deployment of a separate part of Information Operations Forces began in the Republic of Crimea. These troops, which are part of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, were created in the spring of 2014, in order to protect Russian military communications and control systems from various kinds of cyber attacks, as well as to monitor communications carried out through various channels. The troops of the Information Operations Forces of the Russian Federation are called upon to conduct information monitoring and work on improving the protection of information from unauthorized access.
Information operations troops are a serious topic. Protecting critical communication channels, repelling cyberattacks. But will the troops have enough personnel to assess, in the correct informational key, all the "Crimean women, the officer's daughters" who have "not everything so simple", "bearded pregnant Syrian girls who do not go to school and were wounded in the crown of the KAB-500" , all nulliparous "soldiers' mothers" whose sons became victims of the "Kremlin adventure" and died a heroic death in the "Lev-1" helicopter shot down tanks T-14 "Armata" somewhere in the south-north of Lugansk ... Yes, here it is just right to create a whole anti-trolling division. Although in the presence of such a "division" life will definitely become more boring - neither the horse-diving Buryat militia, nor the attack of "chebureyshek", nor even the sixth fleet USA off the coast of Belarus ...

"Caliber" and the European sect
The world's leading armaments analysts believe that the demonstration of the capabilities of high-precision Russian weapons in Syria showed the futility of Washington’s multi-billion dollar plans to deploy a missile defense system in Europe.
At the same time, experts somewhat bypass the question of whether the American missile defense system, if useless, is primarily for the countries of Europe in which its elements are located. After all, they automatically become the first targets for Russia (be it Iskander or rocket ships with Caliber). This once again proves that Washington is viewed by Europe not at all as a partner, but as a shield (shield) for itself. Well, or as a partner in the form of a shield-shield ... But in some European countries, despite all the evidence that the United States has accepted the scapegoats, you can still hear great joy about the fact that “Mr. called us beloved wife” and is going to stick their missiles and radar ... This is something resembling a sect, adherents of which faithfully believe in the infallibility of the one who is ready to sacrifice them first.

Although, if we consider missile defense as a "land-to-earth" system, then the logic of the staff members is iron: keep the RF at the sight, while risking only its European "partners".

Yulia Marushevskaya, 26-years old, graduated from Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with a degree in philology, was appointed the new head of the Odessa Customs.
Well, it must be like everything is great in the Odessa customs, that instead of the sort of Pavel Vereshchagin, who has “the grenades of the wrong system”, 26-year-old philologist from among the fragile young ladies is appointed to the post ... Although ... for example, the beloved dog of one of Saakashvili’s sons was appointed, then for the Odessa region there would be nothing fundamentally changed - they both stole and steal. And therefore - there are more young ladies, good and different! .. For the country earns, as it can ...

British scientists report ...
The British press, which until recently considered how long it would take for “sanctions to kill the Russian economy,” now hit upon calculating how many more days (hours, minutes ...) the Russian operation in Syria will last, which will “finish the last crumbs of the Russian budget” .
If we assess the situation in the Russian economy purely from the calculations of "British scientists", then for the second year we should not see anything on the table canned hedgehogs and nettle broth. The premises are heated by the Treasury tickets of the Bank of Russia that are unnecessary and torn to shreds, we rest in special barred ghettos in the Crimea occupied by us and sweetly lick ourselves at the sight of the cheese with mold shown on the TV channel “Kitchen TV”. Well, and, of course, where without bears, prowling through the streets of St. Petersburg, Moscow and Sochi in search of fallen from the monstrous and destructive consequences of democratic sanctions of citizens, and where without drunk KGB men who drive balalaika away in worn coats and worn overcoats with seven stars each from epaulet with fringe.

Drain on plum, zrada zrade
While Ukrainian “veterans of the ATO” are trying to solicit from the Rada, the prime minister, the president, certain privileges and preferences, the European Court decides to satisfy the claim of the former head of state Viktor Yanukovych to the Ukrainian authorities.
It turns out that now Mr. Poroshenko is quite a clear reason to announce that, they say, guys, we are not able to make any payments, because these EU members are cutting our common peremog at the root. Yanukovych needs to return his beloved golden loaf and golden can with caviar as compensation for the damage incurred in the form of legal costs.
Somewhere near Rostov, a light gaggle was already heard, and somewhere near Kiev a soul flew into paradise under the slogan "The EU merges ..."
But it already seems to merge not only the EU, but even its fellow citizens - one of those who, it would seem, was forever travaned by Maidan fumes. Thus, the authorities of the town of Krasny Liman decided, within the framework of the so-called decommunization “to leave behind” (the literary form of Great Russian phraseologism), to rename their city into ... Krasny Liman. In order for Kiev not to ask too many questions, it was announced that it was red (chervoniy) in the communist sense, and now it will become red (chervonim) in the color sense. As the saying goes, “and why don't you like it? ..” With the same success in Ukraine, they can rename Lenin Street to Lenin Street - well, to the street named after a certain Elena, and Gaidar Street to Gaidar Street - Arkady to Yegor. But this, comrades, is already a decommunization zrada with all the consequences ...

In the evening of October 15. 2015, a monument to the Soviet Army in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, suffered another outrage. Only this time the Bulgarians had nothing to do with it. With the money of American NGOs, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova arrived in Sofia. Under the control of 54-year-old American director Kevin Bout, Tolokonnikova’s friends put colorful balaclavas on the heads of five bronze Soviet soldiers on a bas-relief at the base of the pedestal. Then Nadia Obokno, as she is known in queer, gender and LGBG circles, enthusiastically recited a text prepared by American documentalists in front of the cameras, mocking the memory of Soviet soldiers.
Yes, lately, we often allow ourselves to speak out in the spirit of sizzling criticism of representatives of the so-called former socialist camp states, observing through the media space how monuments to Soviet soldiers in Bulgaria, Poland and other states are being defiled or dismantled. However, at the same time, we often drive away from ourselves the thought that moral monsters from among the reproaches of national values live among us too. Tolokonnikova - this is just one of the copies.
Another lady showed herself here in the week - quite respectable and, it seemed, by definition, with far more outstanding mental abilities than the above mentioned “oatmeal”.

It is hardly worth pondering on the topic of what the lady of old years herself had been pulled up to attain her present thought about one of the main symbols of the feat. Profound phrase about cranks on the other letter of the Russian alphabet - the only thing that accurately characterizes such individuals with a sufficiently high accuracy regardless of their regalia or underextended periods ...

Assad in Moscow
The visit of Syrian President Bashar Assad to Moscow has caused a real information boom around the world. Comrade Assad warmly thanked Russia for his support: “First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the entire leadership of the Russian Federation and the Russian people for the help they provide to Syria. Thank you for standing for the unity of Syria and for its independence. The most important thing is that all this is done within the framework of international law. ”
The last phrase in the quotation is undoubtedly addressed to the so-called world community, or rather to the West with its double standards and bad political morality. “The most important thing is that all this is being done within the framework of international law,” said Assad, and these words can be seen to criticize those states that, in their political “undertakings” abroad, prefer to do without international legislation. As a last resort, trying to appeal to "legality", Western leaders, as we well know, are shaking from the stands with test tubes.
Western, as well as Turkish politicians and propagandists, of course, attacked Assad. British Foreign Minister Mr. Hammond, for example, advised the Russian president to get Assad to confirm the information that the Syrian government army does not use chemical weapons against its own people. Turkish Prime Minister Davutoglu made it clearer: he noted that "if Assad had remained in Moscow, then the people of Syria would have been better."
In short, the picture of the world in the West and its some eastern partners has not changed.

The combat capabilities of the army of Qatar, frankly, modest.
Of the combat aircraft, nine “Mirage-2000-5EDA” and three “Mirage-2000-5DDA”. The main tank "AMX-30S" - approximately 40 units. About the same amount of BMX AMX-10P, about thirty 155-mm AMX Mk F-3, well, and other weapons.
And in general, this is a very interesting topic, how far Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the States are ready to go in order to save their project called IG. But in any case (from the point of view of international law) this will be regarded unambiguously as aggression.
I think everything is just beginning. Business in Latakia will not be limited to one base. It is necessary to use the maximum range of the use of weapons, and more demonstration of strength and capabilities. As in the case of "Caliber" - they created a furor. Russia, especially today, needs to show that it can. This will periodically discourage some from warring.

Pile of shaved beards
The air strikes of the Military Space Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Syria have undermined the morale of the IG terrorists. Militants leave positions and flee to Turkey. To cross the Syrian-Turkish border, they shave their beards and dress up in traditional Muslim attire for women - the niqabs. In the area of Aleppo, you can see deposits of shaved beards and used razors. A similar situation is observed in the vicinity of Hama.
The “fallow” fact testifies to the effectiveness of the operation of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the growing power of Syrian government troops supported by Russian aviation.
The mass escape of militants to Turkey in women's clothes, as well as shaving off beards with “sacred” lice eloquently speaks for itself. More recently, igilshchiki threatened to build a "caliphate" in the North Caucasus and transmitted "messages" to the Kremlin via the Internet, and now they have mastered the art of shaving.

Shadow President of the United States
39-th US President Jimmy Carter shared a sensation with the media. According to him, he personally asked the Russian president what information regarding the fight against international terrorism is important for Moscow. According to Carter, in the Kremlin he was told that they would not have refused to receive data on the locations of the militants of the “Islamic State” in Syria. And if you believe the former owner of the White House, such data in the form of maps with special notes Moscow were provided.
Mr. Carter said: “I sent (to the Kremlin) a message on Thursday and asked him (Putin) if he would like to receive a copy of our map so that he could bomb the position of terrorists in Syria. Then, through the Russian Embassy, they told me that they were interested in receiving such a card. ” And he added: “Thus, in the future, if Russia suddenly bombes the wrong places, you will know that this is not Putin’s fault, but my fault.”
By the way, Mr. Carter explained to the press where his cards came from. According to the ex-president, he has enough military sources that know a lot about the positions of the militants in Syria.
The Pentagon has not commented on this statement and the transfer of secret maps to Moscow. But they advised journalists to contact the Carter Center.
Probably add on our own that alternative management of the foreign policy of the United States could be carried out precisely from this structure. Judge for yourself: Mr. Carter has a card with militant positions, the White House does not. The Center has real data on the forces of "IG", in the Oval Office - no: as you know, Obama put the reports of the scouts, "edited" in the Pentagon, on the table, or even not at all.
Therefore, the question of who can and who cannot pursue US foreign policy does not exist.

Canadian bet
New Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that his country would not participate in airstrikes on terrorists in Syria and Iraq. Premier keeps his election promises. That is why the head of government promised to return home pilots and fighters CF-18. Just an hour after winning the Canadian elections, Mr. Trudeau announced his decision to Mr. Obama.
The precedent makes you think, says observer "IN" R. Skomorokhov. “It is clear that Mr. Trudeau was the one who stopped the participation of his boys in Syria,” he writes. - and won. And it is clear that now he will have to withdraw the contingent. "
Trudeau, in effect, fulfills the will of the voters. That's what makes you wonder. Canadians do not want to tie in the endless Syrian war - this is quite obvious. In the West (and not only in the West), many analysts believe that Putin will get bogged down in the Middle East and get a “new Afghanistan”. Obviously, Trudeau does not want the participation of Canadians in such a war, which may well remind the hottest episodes from the cold war between the USSR and the USA.
In addition, it is no coincidence that one of his slogans during the election campaign was: "The struggle for world peace." Participation in joint operations with the United States has not brought anyone to the world yet.
By the way, Mr. Trudeau does not consider V. Putin as a peacemaker. New prime blames the Russian president is in “dangerous” politics in Eastern Europe, “irresponsible and harmful” behavior in the Middle East, in “unjustifiably provocative” in the Arctic and calls Putin a “hooligan”. “If I have the opportunity in the coming months to meet with Vladimir Putin,” he says, “I will tell him all this in person, because we must ensure that Canada still stands firmly for peace and justice in the world.”

The term will be determined in Washington
October 20 it became known: Ankara is ready to support the plan for the transfer of power in Syria. According to this plan, President Bashar Asad remains in office for another six months. This is nothing more than a symbolic gesture, and yet it looks very unusual for Turkey, whose leader not so long ago called Assad a "butcher" and a "murderer." Upon learning of this turnaround, the experts started talking about a possible new vector of the regional policy of Turkey.
By the way, the time limit for the counting of six months has not yet been determined. One of the sources of the Reuters news agency reported on the discussion of the issue with the United States: “We were able to make some progress in discussing this issue with the United States and other allies. So far, we do not know exactly when this period will begin in six months, but we think that this will happen rather soon. ”
It appears that Erdogan agrees to the “Six Months” plan not at all because he wants to create a certain union of Turkey, Iran and Russia. No wonder there is a "discussion" of the plan with the United States.
Recently, under pressure from the actions of Russia in Syria, Washington with a sigh approved a temporary stay in office of B. Assad, and now Turkey can only follow the position of the "world hegemon." Therefore, the term of Assad’s power will not be determined by Ankara, but Washington.

Invisible "Maidan"
On September 17, the Parliament of Montenegro adopted a resolution on supporting NATO integration. The 26 people were opposed (Democratic Front, Demos, Socialist People’s Party and independent candidates). One of the leaders of the Democratic Front, Milan Knezhevich, took the initiative to create the “Union of anti-NATO forces of Montenegro”. On October 14, a NATO delegation headed by Secretary General Stoltenberg and 28 Ambassadors of the Alliance countries arrived in Montenegro. October 17 near the Parliament of Montenegro began a protest rally, which was attended by several hundred activists. One of their main demands was the resignation of the president. Protesters tried to get into the parliament building. The assault began, not inferior to the events in Kharkov or Donetsk. As a result, six police officers were injured. Police managed to detain 11 protesters. Also, two acting deputies from the Democratic Front were detained.
And what about the US State Department? Where is Madame Nuland Food Distributor? Why can not you hear the statements of Barack Obama about trampling democracy by the brutal forces of the police in Montenegro? Why doesn’t John Kerry criticize the “regime” that has seized opposition members fighting for a bright future? Finally, where is the OSCE?
You know, there are no double standards. And never was. There has always been the only standard: the fact that the White House is profitable is democratic.

Against the Russian "intervention"
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, speaking on October 19 in Stockholm, criticized Russia's military intervention in Syria. Rousseff stressed the critical attitude to the current international military intervention in Syria, directly mentioning Russia: “I do not think that the invasion and bombing of the country will resolve the situation. This is a problem that also applies to Russian intervention. ”
Dilma Rousseff believes that this conflict has no military solution. At least, she does not believe in him: “The Russian intervention is explained by the fact that it represents, among other things, a defense against the ISIL group. But the latter has groups with similar components, such as Al Nusra Front and Al Qaeda Front. I do not believe in a military solution to the Syrian conflict. ”
The frequent mention of Russia makes us suppose that it was for her sake that this statement was made, to the amusement of Western “partners” and the main puppeteer.
The statement of the Brazilian president, among other things, shows how weak the “bonds” connecting the five countries that appear under the BRICS logo. After all, Brazil and Russia are members of this union. If some economic prerequisites in this union are still visible, then the political ones are hardly possible.

The herd does not know how to apologize
The Netherlands Boeing Crash Inquiry Commission found no evidence of Russia's involvement in the tragedy. Well-known journalist Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey suggested that the Western media publicly apologize to Moscow by the guilty of slandering Russia by Western media. Apologies must be made by everyone who lied about the Boeing disaster in Ukraine last July.
Of course, the West in the face of its media will not ask Russia for any apologies. However, comments by those in opposition to the current government in the United States followed.
Donald Trump, a potential Republican presidential candidate, said that there is not enough evidence to bring the Donbass militias, like Russia, to responsibility for the crash of the Malaysian Boeing. In addition, the billionaire noted that he did not support the reaction of Washington, which was accompanied by an incident with the plane.
Publicist Paul Craig Roberts, after reading a Dutch report on the disaster, made the following conclusion. The report does not accuse Russia, but blames Ukraine: it has not closed the airspace over the areas where the war is going on. And now the lawyers who have studied the report have already stated that the families of the victims, as well as the Malaysian airline, are likely to file lawsuits against Ukraine - they will accuse her of negligence.
The Russian government would never allow such a thing to be done, says a publicist. Washington's “story” about the plane made no sense. “Only an idiot could believe in her,” Roberts writes. And concludes: The West has no future. The West no longer has media, only propaganda sources and apologists of US state crimes remain. Every day, paid and dependent media support the “matrix”, turning the Western peoples into a politically impotent flock.
We will go further than Comrade Roberts and dare to assume that the “flock” is not only unhappy peoples, but also “dependent media”. The “Fourth Power” is the real herd eating grass on the green pastures of the State Department.
