Results of the week. “Bambarbiya! Kiergood! ”
During the week, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev gave an interview to five Russian television channels. A substantial conversation with the Prime Minister was devoted to the economy and the measures that are being taken or will be taken to try to put the country's financial and economic system on the path of sustainable growth.
During the interview, the prime minister announced that the crisis was completely left behind, and the economy "is about to begin to grow." At that time, by a “ridiculous accident”, a barrel of oil on the world market sank by less than 40 dollars, and the Central Bank announced that, as a stabilization, it continues to bluntly burn reserves. And it seems that you look closely - there is no pink pince-nez on Dmitry Anatolyevich’s nose, but the population’s hands are pulled to their ears to start taking off noodles and spreading cranberries.
The president, by the way, is satisfied with the work of the government. As it turns out, little is needed for the president to be satisfied with the Cabinet ...

Having received (through his father) a subpoena as accused of killing the mayor of Nefteyugansk Vladimir Petukhov (the mayor was killed on 26 on June 1998), Mikhail Khodorkovsky suddenly realized that he had missed "his move." If earlier the ex-prisoner, after pardoning the president, announced that he would never, never even think about political activities, was marked by publications about the “Kremlin regime” on an almost constant basis, then recently, as they say, he didn’t allow himself to snore, and missed the hook from the Investigative Committee of Russia.
Obviously imagining armored cars under him, Mikhail Borisovich agreed to the point that he once again called for a revolution in Russia. At the same time, apparently trying to play it safe, MBH said that the revolution "will be bloodless." Well, just like most revolutions in stories...
The ex-inmate responded vividly to the statement by the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office, stating that his words would be tested for extremism and calls for an unconstitutional change of government. And the paradox is that the Russian Constitution does not contain almost a word that the change of power by revolution in Russia is prohibited by the Basic Law. Why, after all, the Fundamental Law itself was once adopted by those whose interests today are served by persons of Khodorkovsky format who justified themselves behind a hill or quietly trying to spoil themselves in Russia, being protected by the Constitution ...

The less time is left until December 20, the more actively the officials of the International Monetary Fund begin to fidget in their seats. The reason is that December 20 is the deadline when Ukraine either has to pay 3 a billion dollars of loan obligations to the Russian Federation, or provide an authoritative public or private financial structure capable of giving Russia guarantees of repayment of debt in the period 2016 through 2018.
Money will not give up - sue. This is a summary of the statements of Ukraine about the public debt to Russia in the amount of 3-s billions of dollars. At the same time, the Maidan authorities, obviously overwhelmed with delight by the emotions donated by the IMF ’inventors’ masters, nod at Yanukovych - they say he took, even if he donates.
If so, then look at the question from the other side. Yanukovych - in Russia. Yanukovych, as they say, is at hand ... And it seems like no one bothers to “discover” the document signed by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, for example, in December 2013 of the year, which says that if Ukraine does not return the 3 billion debt in time, then Russia becomes the property of ... And then there is a lot of options. Up to the Odessa region ... And what? .. If the IMF, dancing according to the well-known tune, makes crazy decisions, then why not click on the nose, as they say, quite asymmetrically - as a kind of response ...

ECHR walks in the woods
Behind the ups and downs associated with Syria, Turkey, and the terrorists of the Jemilev Mejlis, an event has remained somewhat in the shadow, the importance of which in terms of strengthening Russian sovereignty is difficult to overestimate. We are talking about the adoption by deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation in the second and third readings of the draft law, according to which the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation has the right to declare decisions of the European Court of Human Rights impracticable if such decisions contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
Wait-wait-a-minute ... What does it mean “not to comply with the rulings of the ECHR”? But this is the first violation of all human rights. And where are the now homegrown and imported pederasts to protest the blasphemous and anti-democratic ban on the honeymoon in the form of a parade on the main street of the city? Where will the ideological fighters against it now be charged from the hated regime to their hack? How to deal with fledging soldiers' mothers and dark-faced daughters of Crimean officers, who by nature are not so simple? ..
Why, at such a pace Russia, what good, will give up the saving and leading people in the bright future of the directives of the IMF and the WTO, and then (horror!) Will stop investing in the US dollar as a state reserve ... And where democratic democrats and legal defenders? ..

Letter on the site Change.org:
Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich! Many factories of the city of Kurgan have been liquidated; now the question of all the workers of OJSC Kurgan Machine-Building Plant about its future is very disturbing. The company's debts led to a delay in wages, shutting down heating, hot water and gas at the enterprise, people were forced to work in inhuman conditions, the temperature in the workshops was + 5 + 7 degrees. Due to the low temperature in the shops, the equipment can not work in full, and the equipment itself leaves much to be desired. Employees working on emulsion machines freeze their hands. After work, people are forced to take a cold shower. And this is all at a time when military products are assembled at the factory - BMP vehicles. It is going to civilian products, such as MKSM, tracked all-terrain vehicles. Minimum wage workers, on average 10-15 TR There are a lot of problems at this enterprise, and the management knows everything, but does not take any action. We, the employees of OJSC Kurganmashzavod, ask to stop the arbitrariness of the leadership - the collapse of the enterprise! Patience at the limit, and there is no more strength to remain silent and wait for no one knows what!
And after all, by and large, not only desperate KMZ employees can tell such a story in a letter to the head of state. Such a situation is more likely a rule than an exception, and a bitter regret is by no means the term that one would like to apply in this situation ... Not at all.
Certainly, the president can come to Kurgan, give a demonstrative whipping to the management of the enterprise and the region, make it publicly sign that the temperature in the workshops will be higher and the salary of the staff will be higher. But ... Tomorrow, the priest will go back, and what will always happen in such cases will begin - parochial repressions in the style of “Who, fiends-slaves, scribbled on the most honest of the most honest, benefactor Van Vanych, slander ?! With rot, stinkers! ”
And in a couple of months, another letter is already being received in Moscow, and everything from the same, but a few thinned out collective: they say, the temperature of the shop has grown to greenhouse values, wages are not placed not only in wallets, but even on debit bank cards, people swell from overeating ... So, thanks for the care. Be healthy. Live richly.
The letter in the center will be ticked where necessary, put. And Van Vanych, after a week of acute diarrhea associated with the visit, you know who will continue to apply the usual style of effective management.

Although, of course, described in the article is not happy, but scary. That's what we are now "scare" America. If this goes on, our enemies will only have to wait a dozen years. Of course a lot of questions to the president, too. Naturally a pity and people. 11 000 people with KZKT, 11000 families left without income. I was unemployed, I know how terrible it is, especially for family people with children.

Astana said: Jok!
Kazakhstan has officially refused to Ukraine for its requests to supply gas without coordination with the Russian side. Ukrainian information resource "Today" reports that the Deputy Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Magzum Mirzagaliyev made a statement about the appeal of Ukraine. His statement is as follows:
This information was perceived in Russia as a national victory. Many wanted to run out into the street, find the nearest ethnic Kazakh or Kazakh, and kiss for joy. Why not ... They say that a portrait of Nazarbayev was nailed next to Putin’s portrait in one of the offices of Gazprom’s board and they were drinking koumiss until late in the evening.
On the other hand, it would be strange at all if Kazakhstan began to build certain “partner” schemes that would in fact throw a partner in the Eurasian Economic Union. Partner kidalov already enough from different sides ...
At the same time, the position of the Ukrainian “partners” is surprising: they were going to sign something with gas about Kazakhstan. Through what, excuse me, place and on what did Mr. Demchishin intend to supply gas from Kazakhstan "bypassing the territory of Russia" or "without coordination with Russia"? It would be necessary in the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine to send a world map as a New Year's surprise in order to at least somehow assist Kiev in getting to know the reality.

And we are Russians, for quite a long time got used to the fact that our allies (for the most part) put the bolt on some problems that interest us. We solve all issues and problems of a geopolitical and military nature ourselves, and patiently treat the contacts of our allies with Western leaders. And when such handouts appear here in the form of coordinating gas supplies, we perceive this as God's gift. Although if we are allies, this should be the prose of the day (ordinariness and everyday life).
PS
Look at the US and its allies (albeit vassals). What is the degree of interaction and solidarity. If there is a problem, they all put their connections (through the media, through the ministries of foreign affairs) to a jerk, and act as one. What is going on here? Either deathly silence, or begin to mumble.

We have launched the third branch of the gas pipeline to China. Along the way, 600 gasified settlements in the south of Kazakhstan. The NAS (Nazarbayev) warned Ukraine and Western Europe, if you don’t really agree with Moscow, then our gas will go to the East. No, they did not understand - now I'm sorry, but since the first gas war we have adjusted deliveries to China. The plans remained only to throw his pipeline from west to east. And so all the plans are almost realized. Even the Russian Federation offered to pump gas through our system of gas pipelines to the People's Republic of China (it only needs to build 7 gas transfer stations in order to start the reverse - the NAS promises this year). So there is Gazprom, what to think about, as long as the Power of Siberia and Altai are built. By the way, they offered Altai to throw money through themselves and allocate money for their plot - one more "lure" for Gazprom - the reliability of supplies is guaranteed, we are not Ukrainians - we never indulged in gates. So, for the sake of some Demchishins and short-term benefits, Kazakhstan will not destroy well-established relations and the work of the whole industry.

The representative of the group of professional Crimean Tatars, Lenur Islyamov, uttered a phrase which contained words about the new stage of the Crimean blockade. Now Islyamov was going to block the Crimean people from the sea, adding that there would be no details, for this is a “military operation”. In the photo of the “blockers”, the thugs from the openly fascist Turkish organization “Bozkurt” (“Gray Wolves”) began to flash. Does this mean that Crimea needs to be ready for a new defense?
Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Energy tested the second line of the energy bridge to the Crimea, which will be introduced before December 15.
People’s Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, in which Prime Minister Yatsenyuk tried to expose the process of non-admission through one place with unlawful reception, Mr. Chubarov with the support of Dzhemilev issued an “ultimatum” ultimatum to the executive branch. According to Chubarov, if in the next two weeks Kiev does not make a decision on stopping the supply of electricity to the Crimea, the Majlis will proceed to an act of frenzy.
By the way, during the week the frantic Mejlis people lost their main allies in the implementation of the blockade, the Pravoseks. They said that the Mejlis people are agents of the Kremlin, because after the blockade Russia only intensified its efforts to create the same Crimean energy bridge, and washed their hands. Furious Mustafa, in response, called the Pravosek themselves the agents of the Kremlin, and the very next day one of the dogs was liquidated by the esbeushniki in Kiev under the guise of a “Russian saboteur”.
Peremoga became complete and unconditional after the announcement of the head of the Ministry of Finance Mrs. Yaresko about the new record for inflation - 98% per year and the forecast of Yatsenyuk, who came to Rada in close proximity with the BPP deputy Barnai, that in 10 years there will be so much gas in Ukraine that there will be nowhere to go ... The stormy applause of the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada made it clear that these peremogs are intermediate and further peremogs will grow exponentially.

As for the work. Yes, hard. But not deadly. I changed 4 jobs in two years and changed the scope of activities 3 times. Not scary. There is enough bread and a slice of butter :) And it is useful for the brain to warm up. Without production or developed tourist infrastructure, jobs cannot be created. And all this rests on the beginning of elementary logistics. Therefore, we are waiting for the bridge. Mark my words, after 2, after the launch of the bridge, the Crimea will differ dramatically for the better. Let's wait. 25 years have been waiting. Break through :)

There is no limit to the outrage of Dutch admirers of Dutch painting. The paintings of famous masters, previously stolen from the Dutch museum, did not just show up in Ukraine, but it also became clear that persons who call themselves representatives of the Ukrainian “political elites” are directly involved in smuggling.
First, the Maidan gang robbed together, then, divided into separate groups, robbed the loot from each other, then the group began to try to sell the loot due to the fact that “they didn’t crap”; now they were caught by the hand. However, who would allow Dutch art lovers to realize their indignation in the form of a vote against the adoption of the “Square” to the camp of democratic sisterhood, if the main brother (well, the one that is across the ocean) will lower the reverse directive. But will it come down? .. Ukraine in the EU - it seems, it’s not at all that it’s interesting to a big brother.

Gift from the Grandfather Curator
Vice-President of the United States, and part-time curator of the Ukrainian project Joe Biden, who visited Ukraine for the fifth time, Petro Poroshenko called "a great friend of Ukraine." Well, and how without it? The curator after all brought a New Year's gift: 190 of millions of American dollars for “carrying out reforms”.
Do you know the funniest thing about Biden's visit? His speech.
“It was a good trip, during which I had the honor to speak in the Verkhovna Rada. This is a country that has a second chance to establish genuine democracy, ”- сказал Mr. Biden.
According to him, Ukraine faces two threats now: Russian aggression and corruption. If these barriers can be overcome, then "Rada will go down in history as the founding fathers of a democratic state."
The interesting thing here is that the corruption of the Ukraine is about the Biden family.
Hunter Biden, the son of Joe Biden, may be involved in corruption schemes in the territory of Ukraine, notes The New York Times. This newspaper, by the way, is quoted by Ukrainian sources ( link).
The American edition writes that during his visit to Kiev, Vice President Biden actively called for the elimination of corruption. “However, the Vice President’s confidence in the anti-corruption zeal can be undermined by the behavior of his son Hunter Biden, whose name is associated with one of the largest Ukrainian private oil and gas companies Burisma Holdings and its owner, Nikolai Zlochevsky,” The New York Times believes. Back in September, the American ambassador in Kiev, Jeffrey Payette, released a sarcastic remark about the refusal of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine to cooperate in an anti-corruption investigation and mentioned the name of the owner “Burisma”, calling for the return of the stolen money. True, the ambassador had to bite the tongue afterwards: he forgot about who is a member of the “commanders” of the company “Burisma”.

I believe that the Americans will support the military component: they will beat together a small, but sufficiently combat-worthy Bandera army to stir up in the east, while the population will switch to subsistence farming. The people are quite patient. And propaganda is doing its job. So, the appearance of partisan detachments is still far away.
Besides, in Ukraine there is still something to rob: land, some natural resources ...

4 December, according to media reports, the head of the press service of the Finnish government, Markku Mantila, said that Finland would no longer comply with the 1947 Paris Peace Treaty of the Year. Earlier, in 1990, Finland had already announced the loss of force of the military provisions of the treaty, but in general it was not denounced as a whole, although it was actually no longer respected. The complete refusal of the contract is an event, one might say, a landmark one. Until now, none of the former Axis countries have openly disowned the postwar world so openly. Without too much drama, we can rightly say that the whole post-war world order is collapsing before our eyes, and the process is proceeding at an incredible speed.
The refusal of a peace treaty opens up broad opportunities for Finland to file territorial claims, said VO observer Igor Kabardin. Here you will find both the continental parts of Karelia, and the region in the Arctic (access to the Arctic), as well as islands in the Gulf of Finland, without which St. Petersburg is actually locked from the sea. These territories in 1930-x belonged to our neighbors, and after the well-known events passed to the USSR ...

December 4 Turkish tank battalion entered the Iraqi province of Ninew. Iraq demanded the withdrawal of the Turkish military from the country's territory, calling their presence an “invasion”. Iraqi Prime Minister Hyder Al-Abadi demanded that the invading forces withdraw during 48 hours.
Baghdad may turn to Russia with a request for military assistance, said the head of the country's security committee, Hakim al-Zamili, in an interview with Al-Araby-al-Jadeed. “The invasion of the Turkish military in Iraq is a gross violation of the sovereignty of our country. Iraq has the strength to respond to this invasion and expel them from Iraqi territory. We can also ask Russia to send military forces to Iraq in response to Turkey’s violation of our sovereignty, ”al-Zamili said.
Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmush, at a briefing in Ankara, explained the military presence in the neighbor’s territory by saying that this measure was “directed against IS, which coincides with the interests of Iraq.”
Stanislav Tarasov, director of the Middle East-Caucasus Research Center at the International Institute of the Newest States, reminded the Free Press that at one time the Turkish authorities signed an agreement with Baghdad allowing their military to enter the country to a depth of 5-10 km. Ankara led a double game with regard to Iraq: the Turkish authorities spoke about maintaining the territorial integrity of Iraq and at the same time negotiated with Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. The outcome of the negotiations was an agreement between the Turks and Kurds on the transportation of gas and oil from Kurdistan (bypassing official Baghdad; however, part of the proceeds should have been received there). “The second moment - the mass invasion of the Turkish troops occurred at the very moment when there was a real threat of reducing the supply of oil and gas from Syria,” the expert said. “Moreover, the prospects for building the Turkish Stream after the deterioration of relations with Russia are very vague. An even greater nuisance for Ankara is the complete overlap of the Turkish border with Arab countries, on which the coalition allies under the auspices of the United States and Russia together with Damascus insist. ”
The situation, we add, illustrates the priority of economics over politics. The Turks - more precisely, those Turks who are vitally interested in a large cross-border oil business - they care not about fighting IG, allegedly training Kurds under the nose of the militants, but about profits that trade in crude oil, including dumping, promises. Ankara will do its business under any pretext and will buy oil from anyone; she herself is not a brother. Unpleasantly lit up trade with the militants "IG"? Well, the Turks know what supplier diversification is: bearded today, tomorrow the Kurds. Workers in Ankara can do anything - because they are covered by the Americans.

Unethical and explosive
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warns Washington against trying to play a religious card in the Middle East. “The constant spells that we hear, including from our American partners, that the overwhelming majority of the population (Syria) are Sunni, and they do not accept Assad as a representative of the minority regime, you know, it smacks of such not very conscientious attempts to play a confessional card in the Syrian conflict and try to present the case in such a way as if the American coalition supports the majority, such as Sunnis, and Russia supports the minority, which are Alawites as part of the Shia Islam, "quotes the words of the head of Russian diplomacy RIA"News».
“First, it’s unethical. And secondly, it is politically very explosive. We were the first to emphasize the need to avoid any steps that would somehow fuel the already significant contradictions within the Muslim world. And we are still convinced that only by awakening Muslims to unite, to overcome their inter-confessional contradictions, can we achieve a stable and long-term peace, ”Lavrov said.
Judging by the logic of Washington, which appeals to confessions, then to ethnic groups, then we should also ask about the majority of the population in the United States. Now white Americans make up more than 75% of the population of the United States. Does Washington say something about the Alawite "minority" in Syria? It would be nice for Obama to remember that he himself represents a minority of African Americans in the USA! And Donald Trump, who can be elected as president, will represent not just a minority, but an overwhelming minority of billionaires. Those in the United States are all 403 people. And what then, sorry, the power of the people?

According to the Permanent Representative to NATO Alexander Grushko, the ministers discussed the strengthening of air defense and grouping in the Mediterranean. It turns out that even a small grouping of Russian ships can cause fear in the West. Are the ministers really afraid of Russian sailors? No, of course. Everyone understands that Russians are not so stupid as to attack. The ministers fear that there will be another “inadequate” among the alliance. One has already been found ... And that is why the ministers discussed the deployment of British military aircraft at the Turkish military base Incirlik. Probably in order to "inadequate" no longer freak out.
In fact, the alliance has driven itself into a trap from which there is no way out. What to do? Expel the Turks from NATO? Change charter? Or even change the format of the organization? Signboard remake? Or ... change relations with Russia? Stop the senseless and dangerous enmity and establish useful peaceful relations?
Sorry no. Peaceful relations are not for NATO. This, gentlemen, is a “defensive” alliance. And it was created for the defense against the Russians. "Defense" will continue until the complete destruction of these same Russian. Otherwise, NATO’s permanent expansion cannot be explained.
Well, a hot Turk ... He just needs a cold English shower.

Soft and fluffy
Older, but still looking like a keen-eyed hawk, Zbigniew Brzezinski gave a great interview to Politico magazine. According to the former ideologist of the confrontation with the Soviet Union, the West reacted calmly to the Russian plane shot down by the Turks. Yes, and Moscow later realized that exacerbation of tension would not lead to anything good. Moreover, Turkish-Russian friction can be the cause of "some progress" in the relations of major powers.
Despite a new round of escalation of tensions between the United States and Russia, Brzezinski is optimistic about relations between Moscow and Washington. In his opinion, American and Russian interests in fact coincide in many respects. According to the hawk, the West reacted calmly to the latest news from the Middle East. Later, the Russians, “taking a deep breath,” realized that the aggravation of the crisis was “a road to nowhere.” The only result of such a crisis would be “a serious clash in which Russia would be isolated.” In fact, thanks to the Turkish-Russian friction, the West and Russia could come to some kind of salutary decision to curb violence in the Middle East.
It seems that the former ideologue of the confrontation between the USA and the USSR and a close friend of the Afghan Mujahideen Brzezinski has now taken “a semitone lower”. The USSR on the world map is long gone, to suppress and weaken one. He considers today's Russia to be an ally in the affairs of the West rather than a strategic adversary, despite Putin’s “irrationality”.
With this vision of the situation, the hawk Brzezinski seems to be about to turn into a “dove”. In fact, he is clearly pushing Russia towards a new Afghanistan: he wants it to fight for "stability" in the Middle East along with the United States, and in fact instead of the United States. Chaos in the region, arranged, by the way, by the West, will drag out, suck Moscow for a long time, and in such a situation, in parallel with the existing expensive Ukrainian problem, the Kremlin really has nothing left to do but draw closer to the West, beg for new loans and remain the raw materials appendage Into which smart strategists from Washington with the assistance of Gorbachev and his political market heirs quickly turned the largest fragment of the USSR.

About Baba Yaga and Ivanushka on a shovel
American analysts are confident that tensions between the US and the Russian Federation will continue to grow. The reason will be both the situation in Syria and the lack of regulation in Ukraine. The United States and Russia are embarking on an “insecure path,” some observers say. Meanwhile, the former leader of the Polish Solidarity, Lech Walesa, offered his recipes for reaching a compromise with the Russians. Condemning both capitalism and Western-style democracy, Walesa said that the time had come to "help Russia take the path of change."
Lech Walesa gave a long interview to the Swiss newspaper Le Temps. According to him, democracy "is experiencing a crisis everywhere." Then he said bluntly: "I am against capitalism and the current democracy." As for Putin, Walesa sees the "two Putin": "One Putin knows how the world works. Firmly holding the reins of the country. Just because the 80 peoples of Russia could demand independence. He holds Russia, but at the same time he is reforming it. Putin should be trusted. But there is a second Putin, a former KGB agent who says: "Let me get stronger, and I will restore order in my backyard." Putin is better not to believe. Of course, Poland and the whole world need Russia. In some ways, we need to help Russia go through the transition that we ourselves have done. If we maintain unity and solidarity, then we will push Russia on the right path. Not using force, but retaining rigidity. "
If analysts of the United States, predicting the growth of "tension" in relations between Russia on the one hand, and Ukraine and the West, on the other, are cautious in their judgments about the source of this tension, the former politician Lech Walesa is categorical: "You cannot allow the strong to attack the weak." At the same time, he reproaches the Russians for their strong backwardness from the advanced West and denies the Kremlin democracy (“There is no real faith in democracy”). However, the same Walesa condemns modern Western democracy and unflatteringly speaks about capitalism. Unlike many other experts, he is inclined to believe Putin in some way and look for compromises with him.
The growth of tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Western observers predict also because of the large Kiev debts. Russia says it is preparing to sue Ukraine for a debt of three billion dollars, issued in 2014 in the form of a loan to Viktor Yanukovych’s government. This question will clear up after December 20. However, the main thing is clear for a long time: there is nothing to pay Ukraine, and it will not pay. Even the Ukrainian curator Joe Biden, who works at the White House, has no doubt about that.

Disappointment in democracy and capitalism sounds very symbolic from his mouth. He was disappointed in what he contributed to in his time, his contribution to the collapse of the social bloc should not be underestimated, and now he was disappointed. And admit that he was wrong - weak?
His further reasoning is devoid of logic, especially about Ukraine.
Before we consider offended Ukraine, we must admit three things:
1) in Ukraine, the radical fascists came to power in a coup;
2) the fascist-Bandera regime is the basis of state terrorism (and what is otherwise called the destruction of the population and infrastructure of the whole region with the help of radical gangs and the army);
3) loss of state sovereignty by Ukraine. This is a colony ruled by the States.
And at least Russia has any relation to these three pillars of today's Ukraine?
If it has, then only one thing: Russia is next in line for countries, condemned by the West to chaos and loss of sovereignty, it is destined to be the fate of a gas station of the West.
And the West, like Baba Yaga from a fairy tale, is outraged by the behavior of Ivanushka, whom she sends to the furnace, and he lies across the shovels, and he cannot be shoved into it. I would like Russia to do what Ivanushka is supposed to do from a fairy tale: she gave up her place on the shovel to the West. There is no other way out.
Yielded to a woman
German Chancellor Angela Merkel won in the nomination "Man of the Year" of the American Time magazine. Little did not reach the portrait on the cover of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the militants of the Islamic State. Its ranking compilers placed in second place. Some experts call the inclusion of a terrorist in the rating of "immoral" act and "theater of the absurd."
In third place in the rating of "Time" was Donald Trump. He wrote in his “Twitter”: “I told you that Time magazine will never choose me as the person of the year, even if I am a favorite. They chose a man who ruins Germany. ”
The “Theater of the Absurd”, associated with the “second place” in the ranking of the terrorist leader, is that the US wants Russia to get bogged down in a big war in the Middle East. Russia, which the West has fully managed to turn into a trade and raw materials appendage in a quarter of a century, is now rather weak, and the “new Afghanistan” that Washington’s strategists are thinking of will weaken even more. In this sense, the geopolitical role of the main world militant named Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is really difficult to overestimate. In fact, he participates in the preservation of the current world order, in which the White House “rules the planet”. And it is he who is satisfied with the problems with migrants to Europe who do not give rest to the nationalists Viktor Orban and Marine Le Pen. He also arranges bloody acts of terrorism and floods the Internet with violent videos of cutting off heads. Each mention of “IG” or “DAISH” is not only food for the press that is greedy for cruelty of the press, but also, in essence, propaganda of the group.
Give the first place to the bloody leader "Time" simply did not dare. In 1938, Hitler was put on the cover of an American magazine, although at that time he was considered a real enemy of democracy, but in 1939-1940. The Fuhrer became a completely sinister person, despite his dislike of the Bolsheviks. In 2015, the equally sinister person is Mr. Al-Baghdadi, whose actions are rightly compared to fascism. Now even McCain will not call him a “moderate opposition”.
In order not to overdo it and not to run into international criticism, the editors of Tayma put Angela Merkel in the first place.
