The first video of the launch of the Soyuz-2.1 launch vehicle with three space vehicles from the new Russian Vostochny cosmodrome appeared. Recall that the launch was scheduled for about 5: 00 (MSK) 27 April, but the experts decided to postpone the first start. As a result, the rocket launched in 5: 10 (5: 01) (MSK) 28 April.
But we have witnessed (albeit pathetically, these things sound) of a landmark event in stories country. Well, simply because new cosmodromes do not start their work every day, and not every state can afford to launch space launches, and even from the site, which appeared literally from scratch in some 4-5 years.
Yes, even if there is still a lot to be done so that the spaceport and infrastructure will be brought to 100% readiness, but the first serious step has already been taken - a successful launch of the launch vehicle has been made, no matter how much someone would like to tweet on Twitter and Facebook. "About the" backward and unwashed rashka "... Every second of the flight of the Union from the new Russian cosmodrome, must have been given to the pain in the hearts of all the" friends "and" well-wishers "of our country. Well, ugh on them! .. The start took place, and as a fact - the tremendous success of Russia!

Incredibly, Russia did it. They steal a lot - yes, there is enough scum - yes, but much has been done, and there is something to be proud of.

Congratulations to all Russians with a big event! Good luck and success to "Eastern"! With such infrastructure as that of the Russian Federation (Plesetsk, Baikonur, Vostochny, with all the test sites and launch vehicles, Star and other research institutes and design bureaus), it is useless to compete in the foreseeable future. And no matter how the West and the People's Republic of China are not brave, but there will be no options here - the market of commercial launches (we must still tighten the production of satellites) will be in Russia! What I want to congratulate you (and us)!

Recently, the Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Communications, Information Technologies and Mass Communications (Roskomnadzor) has published a list of media outlets with Russian jurisdiction that receive funding from foreign sources. The official name of the list: “Notice of receipt by the editors of the media, broadcaster or publisher of funds from foreign sources” (ibid full list).

Well, if everything is clear with Granyami.ru and SNOB, what does Rossiyskaya Gazeta do in this company? The question is not idle, if only because "RG" is the government mouthpiece of Russia. It turns out that the government mouthpiece of the Russian Federation can finance any foreign lobbyist? It is difficult to imagine that, for example, the official mouthpiece of the American administration was financed from the outside ... Or was it just that the American mouthpiece did not receive attractive financial proposals?

The discussion on the network caused RBC material, in which, together with the main text of the article, it turned out to be published by the editor of the editor. The editor asks journalists to “insert themselves” for an article that has seen “a threat to the privatization process” suitable comments from suitable experts.

At this rate (after “INSERT YOURSELF !!!”), the individual media will come up with “copies” instead of articles where the journalist will simply have to repeat the set of characters that he was offered “from above”. Although why "will"? Judging by certain trends in the world of immensely “free” media, they ALREADY come out, and they come out very briskly and enjoy significant popularity in “highly cultured” media. This is also referred to, resulting in a game in the original damaged telephone, when around the opinions of a sometimes nonexistent expert a whole environment is created - with claims of high credibility.

On the rigidity and integrity of individual functionaries of the Russian cabinet of ministers, legends and tales can be added. Back at the beginning of last week, when Ukraine asked for the second time to postpone the start of court hearings in the High (Supreme) Court of London in the case of unwillingness to return 3-billion debt, representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation stated that there would be no more delay. And at the end of last week, “toughness and principles” played a role, and Finance Minister Anton Siluanov announced that Russia does not object to the second transfer of the start of hearings on the Ukrainian loan case.

This sweet word "delay", or How the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation once again pleases Ukraine
Listen, why don’t we be able to announce the postponement of the trial or the payments themselves, for example, on mortgages? - at this moment hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of Russians scratched their heads. But then you are the Russians, and then foreign partners! - knowledgeable people answered them, capable of explaining any decision of the Russian government exclusively from a strategic point of view ...

Have you ever dealt with bankrupt organizations?
I'll tell you what. With them, do not demand one outcome. At the same time, how many productions I had, in 50% of cases, the debtor tries to take various measures that prevent the return of the debt. And I had to resort to the Criminal Procedure against the debtor, and to complain to the managers to fill the courts, but the fact that if the debtor does not want to give money, he will do everything to not give it. This is the case with legal entities in the Russian Federation. And at the international level, the leg breaks. Please note that no one forgave Ukraine debt. Delayed. At the same time attract the reserve fund is wrong by definition. It would be printed out that way, so what. In addition, to initiate a judicial procedure is not the 15 minutes post to write. This may last for years. Therefore, it is quite a logical conclusion that if today Ukraine does not meet the signs of solvency, for some time its debt should be frozen, or restructured. Avoiding this option does not get any money.
As a result, we have a good Russia in the eyes of the international community, which diplomatically made concessions.
In addition, the issue is still with European integration. It is possible that this debt - the hook. This technique is used in normal procedures. As soon as the debtor looks in the wrong direction, you pull the leash. Without even expecting to get a 3 yard, our right to spoil the nerves and bargain for the money.
Only Ukraine looked at the visa-free regime, and duty-free trade, as a sharp leap jerk, and a lawsuit on the 3 yard. And if I am not mistaken, Putin spoke of the "guarantees of our partners," that is, not even Ukraine vzvot. And these partners will have to make a choice, either to pay for Ukraine, or poke it with a stick below their backs, so that they can find the means (as an option, simply suspend visa-free trade, etc.), or lose face once again with canceled guarantees.
So, the fact that Siluanov voiced is not a terrible thing for us. He has a whole sack of other sins.
It is also interesting that this money, collected, would in no way affect either the average consumer or the state as a whole. They would be driven partly into Gazprom, partly taken away along the way. So, that in Ukraine safer))).

Odessa under the invaders
Odessa Governor Mikhail Saakashvili on his page on the social network, referring to the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko (and communicating through social networks with each other is the norm for the Ukrainian authorities), urges that troops be sent to Odessa. The reason for such an unexpected statement by Saakashvili is related to the unrest that began in the city by the sea.
After the hysteria of Mishiko, the Odessa head of the national police (from among the representatives of the ex-authorities of Georgia dragged into Odessa by Mr. Saakashvili) Lordkipanidze, as well as the head of the Odessa administration of the SBU Batrakov declared that all the security forces in the region would be in the reinforcement mode on 10 May. From other regions 300 fighters of special forces of the SBU were thrown into Odessa - they say they will “take alive” “provocateurs” with red flags and St. George ribbons. In addition, several ghouls from Azov were transferred to the border with Transnistria. And Misha was already cleaning his ceremonial body armor in case of a roar in the sky of the engines of Russian attack aircraft and bombers ... What if? ..

Kirov. For poltyshchi for the veteran
From the life of the city of Kirov. How to participate in the action "Immortal regiment":
“Applications are accepted from 4 to 22 April on weekdays from 14 to 19 hours at the address: Oktyabrsky Avenue, 120, first floor. The cost of manufacturing (a frame with a photo of a war participant) is 500 rubles. ”
From the statement of the coordinator of the action in Kirov:
“Not all the participants of the action will be able to see those festive events that will take place on the square during the parade. When our regiment is in ten rows - it is simply impossible. Our goal is different! It is important that those whose lives were at the price of Victory should stand on that day in one system, be the center of attention. This is the main thing. If you want to simply become a spectator of the parade, show it to children, it’s better to just watch it on TV or standing behind the barriers in the square. ”

So it is not surprising that the memory of the people's heroism is sold out according to the “pyatikhatochka”. Not surprising. If, in some localities of our country, the entrance to historical and military museums, as the announcements say, is primarily “for organized groups of foreign tourists in the presence of a guide”, and not for us - slaves, then the city of Kirov, apparently, does not want get out of this jet ...

PHIZ - Promising fighter Zaporozhye plant
Portal "Ukrainian National newsAnnounces that the President of Ukraine, during a visit to the State Enterprise “Zaporozhye Machine-Building Design Bureau“ Progress ”named after academician A.Ivchenko, examined the promising stands of the enterprise. And in the material of the military informer portal it is reported that Petro Poroshenko’s attention was focused on the sketches of the “newest Ukrainian multi-purpose twin-engine fighter”. In the Ukrainian version, the working name of the aircraft is LBL (Easy Battle Light), which sounds like LBS (Light Combat Aircraft) in Russian.

And the designers must have demonstrated to Petro Poroshenko a set of drawings of the grandson of the general and his secretary’s sons, who depicted in a pencil a dozen sketches of other variants of the newest Ukrainian technology. Among other things, a multifunctional five-story 7.62 caliber submarine with an uninhabited tower, as well as a 80-level robokiborg with a set of interchangeable cockroaches in the head. Of export models - mobile bridgeheads "Ilovaysk-M" and "Debaltsevo-2M", allowing the most powerful armies of the continents to retreat to the previously prepared positions.

So AK-12 or AEK-971? Maybe after all both? ..
The automatic machines presented by Kalashnikov and Degtyarev (AK-12 and AEK-971) for state competition were included in the Ratnik outfit.

Both machines - AK-12 and AEK-971, - participating in the competition for inclusion in the equipment "Warrior", passed state tests
The story of state tests, after which they are certainly going to make an unequivocal choice, lasts a long time. And the choice in this case looks like an option from the notorious anecdote about “smart or beautiful?” No, well, really, if both machines are effective and good in their own way - will it break now or what? ..

I do not like the criterion - which one is cheaper, we will take it. After all, we are talking about the choice of the machine gun, which will be armed by every soldier to whom it is assigned according to the state. Another must be created mobilization reserve. An automaton should be selected, first of all the best in terms of performance, reliability, maintainability. It must be effective. weapons in the hands of any recruit or reservist. Price, of course, is important, but not decisive.

Two different machines and each is good in its own way. Each has its strengths.
If intelligence or special forces express a desire to fight with AEK, then I think you need to give that opportunity. After all, in addition to the AK in the troops and special forces there are Tula Val and Vintorez, which NATO fighters call "silent death", they are even purchased by the United States. It’s not worth unifying everything, it is fraught with the appearance of such black holes in the budget as the American gold F-35.
I think for the sake of price AEK should not be buried. It is necessary to give the troops the right to choose.

"Heavy historical heritage"
Riga Mayor Nil Ushakov responded to the statement by the head of the special commission, Ruta Pazdere, that during the "occupation of Latvia by the Soviet Union" the republic suffered "damage in the amount of 185 billion euros." The Riga mayor has published on the Facebook social network a caricature of the statements of Pazdere. In response, the aforementioned Pazdera threatened Ushakov with a 5-year prison sentence. She announced this on TV24.
However, the fearless Neil commented on this statement:

“Until 5 years of imprisonment for such a caricature. It is this punishment that threatens me, in an interview with TV24, the wonderful lady Ruta Pazdere, who is responsible for calculating compensation from the occupation.
Well, in Latvia it is so accepted: right-wing politicians are accustomed to write off all the problems of the past 25 years "for a heavy historical legacy."
Well, in Latvia it is so accepted: right-wing politicians are accustomed to write off all the problems of the past 25 years "for a heavy historical legacy."
The current liberals and democrats from Latvia blame the Soviet "regime" for the lack of freedom of speech and other freedoms. But how do other Latvian politicians differ from those Soviet authoritarian leaders who allegedly “occupied” unfortunate Latvia? Five years in prison can solder for a harmless caricature! Hey, where are the human rights activists, where are the “free voices” from Europe, and finally, the world gendarme Washington? It is time for him to overthrow the overblown politicians who threaten to imprison the free word and free picture!
Silence. And all because we are talking about the "Soviet occupation." This is a holy topic for Western liberal voices. Under this they will forgive the prison.

Gold vs paper
Russia and China can oppose the “paper” gold of Britain to the present, which will prevent London from setting prices for this precious metal, Vzglyad reports, citing the Austrian edition of Contra Magazin.
The article notes that "together Russia and China produce almost a quarter of world gold production," and, "together, they can have a significant impact, at least with regard to real gold, as opposed to London's paper gold." “In the final analysis, it is the real gold that matters, not some promises on paper, especially when in reality the reserves of real gold are not as large as the certificates claim,” the authors emphasize.

Analysts are not by chance reminded that, first, Beijing is trying to downplay the real volume of gold reserves; secondly, the gold reserves of the Russian Central Bank have actually tripled since the 2008 of the year. In addition, the Chinese began to bind the yuan to gold.
Experts consider such "gold" actions as a "direct attack against the financial center in London." After all, until now, gold prices were set precisely in the British capital.

The agreement between China and Russia has probably been around for a long time ... It’s not for nothing that Russia sharply increased its gold reserves in recent years and continues to increase.

Frightened by the "devastating" effects
Moscow’s proposals to include the Ahrar al-Sham and Jaish al-Islam groups operating in Syria in the sanctions list of the UN anti-terrorism committee of the United States Department of State did not meet with understanding. The official representative of this department, Mr. Toner, said that the named groups are involved in the truce process, and their exclusion would be “destructive.” The permanent representative of Russia declared that these groups "do not participate in the negotiations and do not participate in the cease-fire regime."
Mark Toner is the ideal worker for an institution like the State Department. This person is able to clothe in empty, boring, meaningless and non-binding diplomatic formulations the very essence of an aggressive American foreign policy, not forgetting to put everything upside down.
He found “destructive” consequences of the anti-terrorist proposals of Russia, thereby only confirming the sad truth about the American division of the militants into “bad” and “good”.
But if he only said that!
Previously, he stepped back from the problem of supporting Turkomans in Syria by Turkey, responding to journalists in the psaki style: “I have no information about this ...”
Toner assured the press that the distorted perception of the United States "in Russia" leads to "demonization of the United States."
Finally, he praised NATO, declaring an alliance ... a product of democracy.
He also separates the Kosovo issue from the question of Ukraine. After all, "Kosovo fighters", in his words, fought "for independence." Why one cannot fight for independence for people in the east of Ukraine, he did not specify. But it is not necessary: we understand that this can be done only by those whose actions are subject to the logic of double standards of the United States and who belong to "good" terrorists. So the “Ahrar al-Sham” with “Jaish al-Islam” allows the State Department to consider “opposition” groups, and not armed mob of bearded men.

Not "distorted perception in the Russian Federation leads to demonization of the United States," but a real assessment of the consequences of US interference in the internal affairs of other countries of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, etc. reveals the true face of the United States.
The United States, through its intervention, destroys previously stable countries, giving power to gangsters and terrorists, national wealth to transnational companies for extracting superprofits, and call all this horror democratization.
The terrible face of the American democratization is manifested in the destruction of the state system and the deprivation of peoples of the chances for a normal life, and in general for life.
Attitude to all sorts of armed groups in Syria also indicates the US desire to turn a country with an ancient culture into ruins.
“Jaish al-Islam” and “Ahrar al-Sham” groups continue shelling residential areas, for which they are supported by the United States.

Two Victoria
In the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine discuss the statement of the representative of the US Department of State Victoria Nuland. Nuland made a statement during a meeting with representatives of parliamentary factions. From the party "Self-help" at the meeting with Nuland was attended by another Victoria - Wojcicka. She conveyed the words spoken by Nuland. More precisely, the requirements. We give a quote from the statement Voitsitskaya:
“The State Department insists that Ukraine should make changes to the Constitution with a special status for the occupied territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, hold elections in the occupied territories in the near future and provide an amnesty for the militants. The Minsk agreements need to be implemented before the end of 2016, there is no alternative to them. Although Minsk is bad, Ukraine, as a state, has agreed to it. ”
By the way, there were also familiar “buns” from Victoria. From the one that Nuland.
“Self-help” via the Internet told the public that in exchange for Kiev’s fulfillment of these obligations, Ms. Nuland on behalf of Great America promised to extend sanctions against Russia until the beginning of 2017 of the year.
“Buns” are quite predictable. The promise of Nuland is absolutely nothing: the sanctions will be extended by themselves, without any action (inaction) on the part of Kiev. It has long been clear that Mr. Obama was going to pass a package of anti-Russian sanctions to his successor, more precisely, to the successor. And the transfer will take place just at the beginning of 2017 of the year, in the month of January. Obama cannot refuse sanctions: he did say that the United States will never recognize the annexation of Crimea to Russia. Disabling the sanctions imposed from the Crimea would be the first step towards recognition. Why should Mr. Obama put a stain on his already not very clean reputation before the demobilization?

Criminal Schuster in deep Asia
On Tuesday, OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Dunya Miyatovic, urged Kiev to urgently deal with the situation on Savik Shuster. The latter was removed from the Ukrainian television. “The circumstances of this case raise a number of questions,” Miyatović said. “I urge the Ukrainian authorities to promptly consider this issue, making sure that the rights of the journalist are protected and that Schuster is allowed to continue to perform his work in a free and safe mode.” Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, commented on the OSCE’s Facebook response:
“This is the reaction speed and unambiguous assessment! And can anything else be demanded from the authorities of Ukraine in the same clear and unambiguous way? For example, start accrediting Russian journalists. Or investigate the murders of Russian journalists. Or return the banned TV channels on the air. ”

Recall, Canadian citizen Savik Shuster previously revoked permission to work on Ukrainian television. The employment service explained: this decision was made because Schuster provided incomplete information about himself. It turns out that this man hid the fact of "the existence of criminal proceedings against him."
The journalist himself said at the beginning of the year that he had been “prosecuted for not paying taxes”.
And what did criminal Schuster do after the expulsion from TV? I ripped my shirt on myself and shouted: “I blinked it out, tear my mouth apart”? Not. The journalist went on a hunger strike. Also he clarified to the authorities that he is a patriot, but not of Ukraine: “I am on a hunger strike until I am returned to the right to work in Ukraine. This is not a problem of Ukrainian patriotism. I am a patriot of Europe. ” In addition, he said that the power in Kiev leads the people not to Europe, but “to deep Asia.”

I was waiting for this tour to be established in Ukraine. I had to wait a long time. This nimble Savik again soon emerges somewhere. Such without soap will get into any crack.

A Canadian citizen (???) Schuster could not but know that his tenure in Ukraine is limited to 90 for days, like any other garstarbeiter. Not only did this desperate Russophobe refused to earn extra money in the Square, but he was also shed on the 13 lemons in the tax line. They say rightly, the god of the Rogue marks.

Straight tragedy from this made. Shuster ordinary mercenary. Where they pay, there is good. Previously, he led a football show with us on TV. Then he was removed from there (led so-so, to be honest). He went to Ukraine, where he had a political show. Saw a couple of times. Nothing special! Solovyov would have “eaten” him once! But in the Square, he is considered almost the most adequate journalist at the moment. And with this, unfortunately, one can only agree, looking at others ...
Advertising instead of an airplane
US Senator John McCain, who chairs the weapons committee, uncovers the creators of the X-Numx generation F-5 fighter-bomber. According to Mr. McCain, he sees only the advertisement of the aircraft against the background of the constant statements of the developers and the military that certain constructive defects are being identified. According to McCain, all of this repels potential buyers and creates obvious problems for adopting the F-35 into service with the US Air Force in the proper quantity.
McCain is more right than ever. If the American military budget sawdust thinks about the present, McCain thinks about the future.
The senator noted that the development of the F-35 has been going on for more than fifteen years, and the cost has more than doubled compared with the initial estimates. The number also does not converge: the US plans were to build more than a thousand of these planes for the 2016 year, and the reports featured only 179.
Finally, McCain angrily recalled that the F-35 program was now calculated up to the 2040 year. The senator has no doubt that about 1000 aircraft at the current rate of work and the number of flaws will actually be delivered to the US Air Force in the very same 2040 year. "But only in 2040-m these planes are already hopelessly outdated," the Vietnamese veteran stated bitterly.

Grandpa sold out in earnest, it seems his competitors in the military-industrial complex have squeezed something into themselves in terms of the production of F-35.

Well said, so what? He said after all around said about it. At VO, three years already speak about it ...

The single-engine F-35 single-seat aircraft is a vital example of an old saying that a camel is a horse, if the commission decided so. Imagine a flying Swiss army knife that can be used in an air battle, from which you can drop bombs and conduct reconnaissance. When fine tuning the hardware, the F-35A becomes subtle enough to be used in the Air Force. The ability to make a vertical landing allows the F-35B to land on amphibious assault ships. And the design of the F-35C, designed for the Navy, allows it to be used in heavy operations from aircraft carriers.
“We all laid eggs into one F-35 basket,” said Texas Republican senator John Cornyn. It would seem that with such an approach, the military should have taken the development of this machine very conservatively. But in fact, the Pentagon did just the opposite. He decided to build three versions of one aircraft at an average price of 160 million dollars each (problem # 1); agreed that the planes should be multi-purpose, capable of performing different tasks (problem number XXUMX), and then began to produce them when the drawings were not yet completely finalized, ten or more years before the completion of the most important developmental tests (problem No. XXUMX). The military has already spent 2 a million dollars on repairing purchased aircraft, and the final cost of repairing defective vehicles is estimated closer to 3 billions.

Tired of lying?
At the beginning of May, a BBC television documentary will be released. It will be presented version, according to which the Malaysian "Boeing" over the Donetsk region could shoot down a Ukrainian fighter. “False masks are beginning to subside,” A. Pushkov commented on this.
P. Denby in the newspaper “Mail Online” spoke about the “new data”, allowing a different look at the tragedy with the Malaysian airliner, performing the MH17 flight in July 2014 of the year. The new data show, the author notes, that the plane of a Malaysian airline was shot down by a Ukrainian fighter, and not a ground-to-air missile at all. These “murderous accusations” will be voiced not by anyone, but by the BBC television and radio company. Soon a documentary film will be released on the screen, in which curious hypotheses of the tragedy will be put forward, among them even the assumption that the explosion was staged by terrorists supported by the CIA.
About the “Boeing-777” shot down over Ukraine in the West, they wrote earlier that this was the work of the “separatists”. The media and politicians unanimously blamed Russia, which supposedly supports these “separatists” with advanced military equipment. It came to a complete madness: other conspiracy therapists agreed almost to the point that Putin himself planned the attack on the plane. Other conspiracy therapists, meanwhile, developed a different theory: that Putin himself was supposed to fly at that time over the Donetsk region, and Poroshenko aimed at him. Now a third hypothesis has appeared: it turns out that a strike on a passenger liner is the work of the dirty hands of the CIA, which is hiring terrorists right in the Netherlands. In any case, nothing is said about the participation of Moscow.
Where are the roots of such films on the BBC? One of two things: either the West is tired of lying on the air, or the TV viewers “vote with their feet”, refusing to watch programs where Russia is infinitely and monotonously filthy, and Putin calls him a tyrant, a dictator, or a tsar creating an oprichnina. In addition, one must assume that Europe is sick of Ukraine with its constant lies, demands for money and corruption. precisely because the separatist recently gave a hundred days to reform. There will be no reforms - no more money.

The black
Ukraine is not at the forefront here. This is so a passing broken card. There is something more interesting, I think. Especially the ascent of the version of the CIA bomb aboard the Boeing (this is already a sign to Americans from the lords, like, we are the Main Metropolis of the Anglo world, and not fucking teach Obamke our Yard and our Establishment. Obama bent with his pressure on Britain and it started ...
SRC P-15
It only worries me here: why did this discharge of Ukraine begin after the US offered Russia to cut Syria? Add here and another Interpol claim to Khodorkovsky. I do not agree this Obama and Putin in exchange for the division of Syria? If Putin agreed with Obama on Syria, then all this excitement around the downed "Boeing" becomes clear. It turns out that everyone is making concessions: we are in Syria, the Americans are in Ukraine. If my guesses are confirmed, then we will have to wait for our steps towards the United States.

Drain Ukraine has a year and a half with varying success. The number of the population living on the territory of Ukraine is decreasing, which is an indicator of discharge.
The author has the wrong conclusion.
The media did not bother to lie, it was just that the capital ended up with projects for which the media were paid to carry the necessary lies.
When there are no orders, the media go to cost accounting. They write news and speculate, blackmailing with the truth.
The presence of films with several versions of shooting down a Boeing is an organization of chaos, a measure of presenting information, when indifference to perception arises.
Any film must be financed, which means that the money must be returned with a profit. If there is a film that carries the informational bestseller, it means that it is necessary to look from the point of view of "who benefits from all this."

Now we are free
Personally, my opinion: there is a certain kind of agreement. The “free” Western media, especially such jet govos ... the bat, like the “Air Force”, will simply not sound a duck of such magnitude. It means that the order came from above to begin to probe the soil under the discharge of impudent and lightly controlled Valtsmano-Groismans. And no matter how much the current junta kissed Klitschko West in his Lyashko, the issue has already been resolved.
- Russia returned the Crimea.
- I didn’t let myself be drawn into the war.
- Cork between themselves and the maydanutym nedogosudarstvom in the form of LDNR created.
- Hanged to the West (EU) from 30 and 40 million dependents with a collapsed economy and depressed mood.
“I threw thanks to the former Ukraine the West in his own city ..., forcing me to carry absurd excuses about the slaughter in Odessa, Kiev, Mariupol, the meat grinders in the Donbas, the covering of no longer hiding fascists.
The EU, with the silent nod of the United States, looking at its mayan brainchild through its fingers, begins to get rid of a parasite thrown at it two years ago, which only: c ... t, eats and asks for more! ..
P.S. E.Y. Satanovsky a year and a half ago gave Ukraine 5 years to complete decay. 3,5 year left. Seeing everything that happens, I share his point of view.
