Results of the week. "Eh, short kolchuzhka ..."
The Council of Ministers of the countries of the European Union, almost in unison, approved the lifting of the majority of sanctions measures from Belarus and from a number of its citizens. The euroministers decided to remove the sanctions imposed earlier and in some cases for more than 10 years by 170 government officials (both acting and retired). The Belarusian president, who automatically lost his demonic “title” - “the last dictator of Europe”, also fell under the program of lifting sanctions.
Lifting sanctions - an option to lure the Belarusian brothers by associating with a permanent gay parade and lace panties? Or, the Western "friends" worked the dictatometer, and But father technically gives way to the "last dictator of Europe" to the "darkest and most bloodthirsty" - the one that got away, as "well known" in "BBC" and some “Ah Er-De”, which feeds Russian athletes with doping, replacing test tubes for WADA, wears a tracksuit for 3 bucks and in this suit personally distributes bribes to the entire FIFA staff - from Blatter to lawn trimmer, while managing to threaten the whole, you know, Europe through total zradu in Ukraine ...

This is a curtsey of Europe and the United States in the direction of the Farther, a hint from them - "Maybe we can help? Maybe we’ll have freedom for one hundred and fifty or even fifty? At the same time Moscow and we are tearing our nerves?"

Shawarma DANGER
Previous week in certain media circles was marked by “save the Moscow stalls!” Without living the “intelligentsia”, the marsh altruists and other liberal gurus of LJ posted so much that literally every second or third topic in these instills was “lawlessness”. Namely, the “Putin-Sobyanin regime” smashes, you understand, what “could and should” (was) become the basis of the “innovative Russian economy”. This foundation is small and microbusiness.
As soon as stalls, shops, kiosks in the center of Moscow were demolished, it turned out that the most willing to get a flashed mobile phone with lists of telephone contacts preserved from previous owners, and the greatest number of fans of shawarma from running around the station meat - among our non-living ultraliberal public. Sobyanin, they say, deprived of everyday pleasure to stand at a stall on Pushkinskaya and drink a cup of soluble dust from Brazilian roads ... Oh, you fucked what! .. Mr. Sobyanin, shawarma DANGER!

General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine leaves no chance for Leonardo DiCaprio
The closer the two-year anniversary of the “revolution of dignity” comes, the more actively Kiev generates political news. Two years after the Maidan, most Ukrainians only began to figure out who included in what political coalitions, how many stars and bands for radical Maidan events they received for epaulets, and how many times the country experienced 21 February 2014. Understand just started, and here - a new political tectonics. She is shaking Ukraine in such a way that each of those stuck in power tries to prepare an alternate airfield or at least inflate a life jacket in order to save his own seat from a powerful tsunami.
In the meantime, a coalition was pouring out of the week, from which the disreputable Yulia and then Sapomich fled first, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces filmed a monumental film about peremog of the valiant Ukrainian army on the Debaltsev bridgehead. In the release to the tape, they again made it known, no, of course, not the boiler, but a planned retreat for the positions prepared in advance, “confirming” these figures verified with the Meuzenko arithmometer with numbers: only 13 dead. The remaining losses, apparently, can be considered non-combat. Thus, ordinary Stetsko, Polugarenko and another 250 man of his staff died from a sharp exacerbation of swine flu, and the man 800 died as a result of an acute attack of patriotism and oversupply. They say that the creators of the film and its main characters will compete with DiCaprio for Oscar, and there is a feeling that DiCaprio has no chance again ...

Counter strike
Ukraine blocked the movement of Russian trucks. Russia blocked in response to the movement of Ukrainian trucks. In addition, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov told the press that, due to the reluctance of official Kiev to conduct a dialogue with Moscow on payments to the 3 billionth debt "in good faith," the Russian side filed a lawsuit. According to the Russian minister, Russia expected Ukraine to take a decision in a spirit of responsibility, but so far this has not happened, and therefore, as a last resort, Moscow decided to submit to Kiev to a judicial authority.
And immediately followed the Ukrainian "counter-strike". The government Yatsenyuk announced that they, too, go to London, and also will sue. The most creative representatives of the government kunstkamera announced that they intend to appeal to the London judges in order to recognize the Russian loan of the 2013 sample of the year not a credit at all, but (attention!) To Yanukovych as a bribe. Awesome argument. If so, then what are the current credit and “gift” tranches from the EU, the United States and even Turkey, which Ukraine receives occasionally? .. Bribes to whom and for what? - from this place, citizen Yatsenyuk would like more detail ...

Schyrie Russians
Ukrainian people's deputies broke out another bill that allows you to doubt the mental health of the legislators I LIE. Rada deputies Oksana Korchinskaya and Andrei Lozovoy came up with a legislative initiative to rename the two states. According to Lozovoy and Korchinskaya, Ukraine needs to be renamed into Russia, and Russia itself into Muscovy. Attention is drawn to the fact that such an initiative was born in the parliamentary committee on culture and spirituality.
But this is just another level 80 zrada. After all, if Ukraine is renamed Russia, then Ukrainians will have to automatically become Russians. And what then, tell me, is it robs with such a combination as “schiry Russian”? .. And there is no need to speak about the combination of “Ridna Rossiyskaya Mova” and “United Russia” ... There is no word even for Sergey Viktorovich.

Steel cures for terrorist plague
Syria has become a kind of testing ground for Russian weapons and military equipment. Along with the newest aircraft, missile systems and armored vehicles, the “Patriot” cars of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant are being tested there.
Ulyanovsk cars are far from all that is delivered from Russia to support the Syrian people in their opposition to the terrorist plague. In Syria, in addition to SUVs, tanks and small weapons Russian-made surprises such as RSH-2, towed Msta-B howitzers, KamAZ-6560 artillery towers and KamAZ-43114 trucks, armored personnel carriers and many other anti-terrorism drugs were noticed. Bearded, moderately pregnant boys from the "opposition" may consider the actions of the Syrian army personnel on this technique as "gifts" for February 23 ...

From the statement of the representative of Ukraine in the "Minsk format" Roman Immortal:
In general, the promise of the Ukrainian bureaucrat on the recognition of the existence of the Russian-Ukrainian war was a success. But it’s somehow strangely it turns out - “aHressia” is, there is an “occupation”, millions of dead FSB marshals also exist, and here everything is “ATO” and “ATO”. It is necessary to be more serious: if you declare the existence of a war a fact, then in fact it is easier to surrender.

Analysts in various media warned: a third world war is not far off. Even with a capital letter they write: Third World. They talk about opponents, about allies, about neutrals.
And why would such a large-scale collision happen? Those who want to write about the “Third World” in bulk, those who want to make belligerent speeches are also abundant, but those who want to fight are not yet visible.
For some reason, American aircraft carriers do not seek to be in the waters near Syria. And in general, the brave American soldiers are becoming more and more accustomed to fighting at "home conditions", sitting at computers and "operating" drones. It's like playing with toys. It seems that the victims are not victims, but a picture. Will the Americans get into Syria? No. And even more so, that Obama has been sitting in the White House for the last year. He will not unleash any land war. Judging by what they say in the British Parliament, the Europeans are also not going to interfere in Syria.
Maybe the third world will be unleashed by militant Ankara, which has faced “Russian aggression” - after all, Moscow supports Assad, the one whom Erdogan recently called “a butcher” and a “murderer”? And Ankara will support Washington, and even NATO?
Would you like to support - would already support. But we hear only words. And we will hear further. Words and a small arms race, very much like a business, like good contracts for a stagnant defense industry. It's all. Let Erdogan himself "deal" with the Syrians, with different Kurds, and with the Iranians, and with the Russians, if he so wants. Of course, they will not subscribe to such a long list.
There will be no world war. Needless to panic. Or does someone believe that the "Sultan" is able to start a mess on half-planets?

Another stronghold of militants fell
A little more than a day it took the Syrian government army and the militia to take control of the last major stronghold of militants in the north of the province of Latakia. We are talking about the city of Kensaba (Kansabba), in the liberation of which the Kurdish self-defense units took an active part.
Control over the city of Kensab will allow the Syrian army to cut off the supply routes to terrorists in Latakia. In addition, it is a strategic settlement on the map of Syria, providing an opportunity to carry out a full-scale attack on the positions of terrorists in the province of Idlib.

T-90 detected
In the Western press they write that Russia has long been fighting in Syria: Russian units allegedly destroy the "insurgents". In evidence of the reported appearance on the side of Assad Russian T-90A.
For the first time talked about T-90 in November last year. They talked about the training of crews for these machines at the Russian landfills. On the transfer of tanks directly to the army of Assad.
Yes, the T-90A are supplied by the Syrian army. Not new tanks were delivered, but troops that had already been in the army. Judging by the color in the Russian army. And why was Russia forced to go for it? The answer at the very beginning of the operation was given by our president. The goal - the destruction of terrorists.
Why T-90, explains military expert Alexander Staver.
The upgraded T-72 is inferior to the 90 in almost all parameters. Starting from booking and ending with security systems.
The “Blind-1” system of the T-90 allows neutralizing American TCP and is effective even against NATO cannon shells.
The “Ainet” system makes it possible to explode a projectile in the air, which is especially important when destroying strong points and fortified areas. One shell allows you to completely "demolish" the enemy machine-gun nest in the literal sense of the word.
The participation of T-90 in hostilities is also necessary for Russia. This is the first combat use of this tank, which made it possible to identify significant shortcomings in the defense system. Work to eliminate them has already begun.

Word to Mr. Hammond
February 13 from the territory of Turkey on Syrian airfield Minneh and a number of settlements were subjected to artillery strikes. Ahmet Davutoglu said that the targets were the positions of the Kurds. Ankara demands that the Syrian Kurds leave the border areas. Syrian Kurds refused to comply with the requirements of the Turks. Then the word passed to Washington. If the Munich agreements are violated, the coalition led by Washington will introduce additional ground troops into Syria, Secretary of State John Kerry said. Who can stop the Third World War? This question was answered in Britain.
According to British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond, the only person who can stop the war in Syria is President Vladimir Putin of Russia. About this, the politician said the TV channel "BBC".
“There is only one person on the planet who can stop the civil war in Syria by making a phone call, and that’s Putin,” Mr. Hammond TASS quoted.
Hammond is confident that "the situation with Assad is exactly the same as it was a year ago: whether Assad will leave or stay, will depend on whether the Russians are ready to use their influence to shift it."
Obviously, V. V. Putin must call not Hammond - the level is not the same. And not to Cameron. And certainly not the queen. No, Putin should call the boss of the entire planet - B.H. Obama. And agree on what Obama, Secretary of State Kerry, the Pentagon people, the CIA people, as well as those bearded “oppositionists” in Syria, whom Hammond mentioned above calls “moderate” for years, are waiting for, saying that has changed.
And after the "good" on the "departure" of Assad from Putin will wait for another "good" - on the "return" of the Crimea to Ukraine.
The chain of “departures” and “returns” could adequately be completed by another international act: the transfer by Russia of the “northern territories” to their “original” masters - the Japanese.
Kerry would not mind, but Hammond would have applauded while standing.
And Mr. Obama would say that he would think about lifting the sanctions.

The eyes are bigger than the stomach.
US senators were concerned about the infringement of democracy in fraternal Poland. The bipartisan senators group, John McCain from Arizona, Benjamin Cardin from Maryland and Richard Durbin from Illinois, last week sent a letter to Polish Prime Minister Beata Shydlo, expressing concern that new laws affecting the Constitutional Court and public media, can have a negative impact on democratic norms, including the legality and independence of the judiciary.
The senators called themselves "friends of Poland." These "friends" called on the government in Warsaw to "re" return to common Western democratic values.
Witold Vashchikovsky, Polish Foreign Minister, delivered an angry response to the Americans. According to him, the senators do not know anything about orders in Poland, and the letter itself is “the result of a lack of knowledge about what is happening in Poland.” Moreover, politicians were “inspired” by the letter by people who want to “harm Poland”.
Beata Szydlo herself gave the answer. She explained to the Americans that the changes her government was making were “adjustments” to the attempts of the previous government to gain control over the Constitutional Court. According to her, American politicians have nothing to "read lectures" and poke their nose "in the internal affairs" of Poland.
What will come with such an unusual policy of Poland, which has clearly lost its hand and does not want to listen to democratic advisers? The well-known theses of European (first of all German) politicians about the “Putinization” of Poland, who got into the press in January, may lead to the fact that soon Beat Szydlo will be compared with Medvedev, and Pan Dudu with Putin. First, as a joke, then seriously. And what should Poland do, which is now suffering from Russian counter-sanctions (remember the apples), and in the future risk getting sanctions from the EU and the US?
On the other hand, Poland is a loyal ally of the United States and an active conductor of Russophobia in its region. In addition, Poland is a kind of counterweight to Germany: Washington sees it as one of the future centers of a renewed Europe. Finally, Warsaw receives financial aid from the United States through military cooperation.
McCain’s letter to his companions has no political or legal force. McCain is not at all the figure that is responsible for carrying out US foreign policy, and not at all to that branch of government. It would be different if the letter were sent by Secretary of State John Kerry. But official Washington will not spoil relations with Poland, which he politically needs as a territory bordering Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and the Kaliningrad region. With the help of Poland, the White House will continue to pursue Russophobic policies, as well as keep German politicians "in tune". And if the Polish public media doodu in the same way with Washington, the latter will be just happy.

This is not a war, this is a revision.
The European Commission adopted a package of proposals on EU energy security, as well as a strategy to expand the use of LNG and the rules for EU cooperation on mutual gas supply. It is proposed to move from the system of the national approach to the regional approach. EU states are invited to conduct a joint gas policy and insure each other in crises. According to the new rules, Brussels intends to check draft energy agreements of the EU members with third countries, including with Russia. Existing company contracts with Russia will be audited.
Miguel Arias Cañete, the European Commissioner for Climate Change and Energy, told the press that the EC’s proposals on energy security are not a declaration of war to Gazprom: “This is not a declaration of war to Gazprom.” We want to create conditions for the support of commercial contracts for the supply of gas to the EU, beneficial to European consumers. We want to learn from the gas crises of 2006 and 2009 of the year. ”
“The new proposals of the European Commission on energy security are not aimed exclusively at Gazprom,” said the European Commissioner for Energy Union Affairs, Maroš Šefčović.
We think that the opinion expressed by EU officials about the EC’s reluctance to “fight” with Gazprom should be justly doubted. It is enough to glance in the European mass media and to look for the judgments mentioned by Shefchovic about the “Nord Stream - 2”.
It turns out that Shefchovich refuted the statements of the German government that in the case of “S. P. - 2 ”is about an exclusively commercial initiative:“ You have probably heard more than once that “Nord Stream - 2” is called a commercial project, but I want to emphasize that I did not see commercial projects that would so often be discussed at such a high political level. level. "
And the aforementioned Cañete said that it is not only a matter of legal intricacies, but also of “high political issues”. He explained that while the share of Gazprom in the German market does not exceed 40%, however, it may change after the construction of Nord Stream - 2. "In this case, 80% gas can be supplied from a single source," - said the European Commissioner.
It is clear that some of the proposals of the European Commission are addressed directly to Gazprom. This is a kind of raw material sanctions, which are likely to hit both the interests of Russia in Europe and the interests of those Europeans who would like to buy pipeline gas from the Russians.

Yesterday, one governor offered to scrape up the money for a license and start producing the last iPhone with us. Money to find quite real. Save, for example, on marble and Italian plumbing for administrative institutions. And banquets for officials.
Classic rescued
At the conclusion of the Munich Security Conference, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev gave an interview to Euronews, as well as to the popular Time magazine. The conversation was about the Syrian crisis, the conflict in Ukraine, Russia's relations with the West, the Litvinenko case and, of course, sanctions. Relying on Comrade Bulgakov’s artistic theses, the Prime Minister declared that “we will never ask for the lifting of these sanctions.”
“We are discussing all this, but our position is simple, I have repeatedly formulated it: we will not ask for anything,” said the prime minister. - You know our literature well. Mikhail Bulgakov has a beautiful phrase in the book “The Master and Margarita”, when Woland says that you never ask anything, they will offer it themselves and they will give it all. So we will never ask for the lifting of these sanctions. Themselves will come and say: let's finally get rid of all this, because no one is better, everyone is only worse. "
The abolition of US sanctions and their "partners" and allies, including the EU states, which in their entirety dance under the tune of the hegemon, would greatly spoil the political face of both Washington and Brussels. After all, the sanctions were imposed not only because of the conflict in the east of Ukraine, but also because of the annexation of the Crimea to Russia. The leaders of the West noisily declared that they "never recognize" neither this accession, nor the outcome of the Crimean referendum held "at the point of the guns."
And if suddenly the West decides to “come by itself”, to act according to Medvedev, who referred to a literary classic, then the price on the world stage will be worthless to all the statements and promises of Washington and Brussels. In fact, thus the West recognizes the Russian Crimea. The White House cannot allow such an historical turn in any way, and therefore it is not necessary to wait for the lifting of sanctions in the coming years. You can wait for any talk about indulgences in connection with the next negotiations. But no more than that.
