Vladimir Putin: greetings from Yalta
Vladimir Putin’s Yalta speech was initially associated by many with a certain sensation that the president should announce. “Many” means here, first of all, the participants of the meeting itself. Representatives of the Duma factions, even before the start of the Yalta Conference, were inclined to see in it a certain message either towards the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces, or to toughening of retaliatory sanctions.
The speech of Vladimir Putin in the Crimea, reunited with Russia as a result of a popular referendum, is a double message for Western "partners." The words that Russia does not intend to rush and wave the razor (Armed forces) expressed in Yalta is also a hint that the “razor” is always ready, and it can decide what western place Russia can take Russia. True, Putin at the same time makes it clear that a razor can be placed in a transparent case, if the mind prevails in the West, and not a yellowish liquid that hits the head. While more yellow liquid ...

Resignation of retired strife
The commander of the Donbas militia, the DPR Defense Minister Igor Strelkov resigned. The press center of the leadership of the DPR reported that this was due to the transfer of Igor Strelkov to another job. RIA shares such details. News. At the same time in the DPR refute the information about the serious injury of Igor Strelkov.
This is not the first retirement in Novorossia. DPR Prime Minister Alexander Boroday, head of the LPR Valery Bolotov, left their posts. Resignations have caused a lot of questions, and a lot of attempts to explain what is happening. Among the explanations is the following: local people are introduced into the power of Novorossia, and Russian citizens are removed away in order not to “provoke”. But if so, then where is Valery Bolotov? He is from Lugansk. Another explanation: Bolotov feels the effects of the May injury and cannot effectively fulfill his leadership duties. But if only Bolotov had announced his resignation, then it was possible to believe in it, but here we are talking in fact about a triple resignation - the resignation of key figures.
A certain light on these resignations sheds, perhaps, the speech of Vladimir Putin in Yalta. The Russian president is demonstrating to the West that Russia has had an impact on the top of the militia, now he is awaiting a retaliatory move from the United States, who must go to the “persuasion” of henchmen in Kiev. Will we wait? - that’s the question ... Instead of “persuading” while, rather, the American State Department is talking about teeth and, specifically, its main stars - Psaki and Harf ... By the way, AP journalist Matthew Lee is sure to ask Psaki what kind of razor and for what purpose he had Vladimir Putin’s mind: doesn’t it mean that, in the event of which, State Department officials can shave their heads so that their brains cool more effectively ...

Lyashkodav from Rada
The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada continues to show its democracy and civilization to the whole world. This time, one of the main “heroes of Ukraine” tried to make a suggestion to another out-of-fraction deputy of the ukroparlamenta Oleksandr Shevchenko, shouting out that the deputy should immediately go to the Donbass.
Shevchenko, recalling Lyashko, where he should go in connection with his “special” inclinations of an intimate nature, at first wanted to quietly leave, but around Lynko’s mention of the term “Donbass!” On 50, I finally decided to end my opponent’s diplomacy and howls. Shevchenko sent Lyashko into a first-class knockdown with a clear blow, forcing him to "dance", falling into the hands of people who surrounded the parliamentarian, who are marked by obvious deviations in the psyche. Well, perhaps Lyashko may not have deviations in the psyche, when he himself admitted at the time that he was not indifferent to the male loins ... The asterisk for the downed one - Shevchenko's deputy!

The musician, composer, scuba diver, culinary specialist, TV host and rally rally Andrei Makarevich waited for the Ukrainian army to take control of Svyatogorsk and Slavyansk and went there with a "humanitarian mission." That’s how he called his trip to these cities. Makarevich said that he came to support refugees from Lugansk and Donetsk and added that his “mission” was aimed at showing how good to be friends and how bad to quarrel.
Strange "peacekeeping mission" of Mr. Makarevich. Well, in any way, you know, the “unbending” musician did not go to perform in certain cities of New Russia at the moment when bullets and shrapnel whistled there, when people died there. Mr. Makarevich waited for the occupation of Svyatogorsk and Slavyansk by the ukroarmia, waited for the hanging of ukrostyagi and, as he himself reports, an official invitation. Only after that, in the "unbending" the spirit of the true "peacemaker" woke up, preoccupied with the situation with the war, and with the refugees, and with the devastation. But there was no time to visit the refugee camp in the Rostov region. Look, what kind of offense does the guitarist-cook have to say about the fact that they had to say goodbye to the wine business in Crimea?

Moat for governor
Ukrainian insanity is gaining momentum. This time, the authorities of the Chernihiv region distinguished themselves, stating that they intend to seriously strengthen the border with the Russian Federation along the lines of the “Mannerheim Line”.
Chairman of the Regional Council of the Chernihiv region Nikolay Zverev:
As reported, the width of the Mannerheim ukrorva will be 6 meters with a depth of 3 m. By simple calculations, we conclude that the total volumes of soil removal will exceed 3 million cubic meters. The population of the Chernihiv region is approximately 1 million people (minus the officials and their families). Is Zverev going to send this ditch to Chernigov dwellers (including old people and babies) by defining the norm in 3 of a cube of soil for each of them? Without payment - for the sake of the "single edge", of course. And what! - while people dig a ditch, Zverev associates can proceed to a more relaxed "development" of the regional budget ...

Bear Wanted
The chief prosecutor's office of Georgia has accused ex-President Mikhail Saakashvili of embezzling 8.8 million lari (about 5,1 million dollars) through the funds of the State Guard. Significant amounts were spent on payment for the services of masseuses, personal designer, Spanish chef, hotels, purchase of food and souvenirs.
On Thursday, the Georgian prosecutor's office put Saakashvili on the wanted list. So far, fortunately for Saakashvili, inside. The ministry reports that as soon as Saakashvili appears in Georgia, he will be arrested. It turns out that the prosecutor’s office itself gives a signal to Nikolozovich: to sit in the States and beyond the new American state - Ukraine - do not stick out, which Nikolozovich does well. They say that even in the state of Georgia they are afraid to look in - suddenly these Americans will make a mess again ...

Passion for humanitarian convoys
Russian President Vladimir Putin held telephone talks with the head of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso. Putin said that the consequences of the punitive operation of Kiev in the Donbas are of catastrophic proportions, and the people of the south-eastern regions need humanitarian assistance. ITAR-TASS, citing the Kremlin’s press service, reports that Russia is sending a humanitarian convoy to the Donbass, which has been agreed with the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross).
How is the song sung? “The third day on the road, hey, mate, do not be sad ...” Further quoting of this song of the group “Lyube” is canceled in order not to injure the tender Ukrainian souls. After all, for Ukraine, this humanitarian convoy, with the filing of mouth openers at the State Department and the UN Security Council, initially became an “act of aggression” of Russia. Vladimir Putin seems to see residents of Ukraine in the cab of each KamAZ truck struck with the bacillus of the “Poroshenkovschina”, and Viktor Yanukovich is inside the trucks through torn tarpaulin. Every third truck, according to Kiev, carries an activated atomic warhead, all others are chemical and biological. weapons mixed up
And according to Avakov’s adviser, Mr. Gerashchenko, Kiev should form his humanitarian convoy with bacon and stew and send it to Moscow. In this situation, one thing is not clear: in Ukraine, all practicing psychiatrists died out, or what? ..

Late news
The UN published a report that literally shocked the Western public. The report says that the number of people killed in Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict is 2086 people, more than 5 thousand people were injured. About this reports agency «Reuters».
In a previous report, published about two weeks ago, UN experts declared 1129 dead in Ukraine. It turns out that in just two weeks the number of victims of the civil war has almost doubled. This fact caused a great response in the foreign press.
Western readers write in the comments that they couldn’t imagine the true extent of the Ukrainian conflict. According to one of the British users of social networks (nickname Ken12), the big European catastrophe has been gaining momentum for several months now, and the world is only now learning about its true reach.
This once again suggests that the West is in the information blockade. Western media are used to giving out to the public only the information that fits with the interests of the ruling elites, even if this information is a blatant lie. That is why the appearance of truth in the Western media today is shocking readers.
As a result, Western state propaganda, controlling the major media, is obtained directly by Paul Craig Roberts: they fool themselves. In one of his new articles, an American publicist wrote that the "ridiculous lie" of propaganda indicates to us that propagandists do not give a damn to the intellect of the Western public who is being fooled.
But the main thing here is, let's add from ourselves, that time after time lie retreats before the truth. As a result, the false press loses influence, subscribers, and the power institutions of the United States and the EU appear to citizens of Western countries to be sources of misinformation. A side effect is the growing popularity of Russian channels, for example, “RT”, whose viewpoint Westerners consider alternative. Attention to the Russian media throughout the West, starting with the United States, suggests that Americans and Europeans are tired of the monotonous lies of the “presidents” (the term of Comrade Roberts). The propaganda hydra of imperialism began to devour itself.

Uninteresting crime
In Poland, another act of vandalism was committed against a memorial to Soviet soldiers who fell for the liberation of this land from Hitler’s troops. A police spokesman for the Warmia-Mazury voivodeship claims that a red star was torn from a monument to Soviet soldiers and several graves were desecrated. For some reason the criminals took the red star with them.
The same police spokesman says that desecration of memorials in Poland is punishable by a fine or correctional labor. Reports about it "the Russian newspaper".
The question is whether the county Polish police intend to search for vandals? None of these acts of vandalism has yet been investigated. None of the vandals did not bear the deserved punishment, which indicates the disinterest of the Polish authorities to investigate such crimes.
It is reported that the incident occurred on the night of last Sunday, but in Poland information about the desecration of the monument to Soviet soldiers was spread only on August 13.
Already that week in the "Results of the Week" on "VO" continues the review of the desecration of monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators in Poland. It turns out a kind of gloomy series, the main characters of which are mysterious night vandals, against which the Polish police are powerless. Shouldn't the police be sent to correctional labor?

Oil democracy
The United States will send military advisers to 130 Iraqi Kurdistan to help the autonomy forces confront the Islamic State (IS) militants. Earlier, the White House announced that it would directly supply the Kurds with light weapons and equipment, the RT channel reported.
Militants "IG" for several months seized all new areas of Iraq. But the Americans began to show activity only after the militants came close to Kurdistan. The Pentagon said that "this is a humanitarian issue that will have dire consequences for the whole world."
Extremists threaten not only the inhabitants of the autonomy, but also the extraction of "black gold". After the invasion of Americans in 2003, oil production in Kurdistan has increased dramatically. The number of mining companies operating today includes the American giants Chevron and ExxonMobil. Political activist Raed Jarrar called this the main argument of the current activity of the US administration.
Kurdistan has nothing against the presence of Americans in the region, but really wants to disconnect from Iraq. Kurds are selling oil on their own without regard to Baghdad, which, according to them, does not list a legitimate share of their income. In this confusion, the possibility of secession from Iraq has become real as never before. And the support of Kurdistan by Washington only adds fuel to the fire ...
Well what can I say ... Just like in the "good old" times!
We have already written on the "Military Review" that the notorious democratic values of the United States are the same as interests. Everything that is “interesting” to the United States is “valuable”.
And in the first place there is energy - the key to power and fueling the petrodollar.
In the spring of 2012, this position was very clearly voiced by the then US Secretary of State. Speaking at the University of Syracuse (New York), Hillary Clinton put it quite frankly: “Diplomacy in the energy sector is a critical factor in our national security, not only in terms of meeting the energy needs of the United States at an affordable price, but also in terms of the role that energy plays in our relations with other regions of the world.”
And you say - human rights ...

Prime Minister's Triumph
In the presidential elections in Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan won, receiving 52% of the vote. From the premiers to the presidents - this is how one can characterize his victory. Coming out on the balcony of the headquarters of the Justice and Development Party, Erdogan noticed that democracy won the elections and also promised the people a new era.
"I will become president not only for those who voted for me, I will be the president of 77 millions," Erdogan said in his speech. “Today, the will of the people has triumphed again, today democracy has won again. Those who did not vote for me achieved the same results as my supporters. Those who do not like me, won the same victory as those to whom I like, "quotes the future president "BBC".
Promising the people a new era, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: “I want to build a new future based on the principle of public reconciliation, considering our differences as our property and focusing not on our differences, but on common values.”
According to experts, whose opinion leads Gazeta.ru, Erdogan plans to achieve a redistribution of powers in the presidential favor. And it will be easy to do this: after all, the Justice and Development Party controls the majority of seats in parliament.
Erdogan, who became prime minister in the 2003 year, will be in power for sixteen years by the end of his first term in office, the newspaper notes. And besides, he doesn’t hide at all that he is going to rule Turkey until 2024.
It seems that Erdogan decided to arrange a political longevity competition with Putin. However, Vladimir Vladimirovich will not get around him: even if the peoples of Russia and Turkey re-elect both (in 2018 and 2019), additional power "points" will be in favor of the Kremlin owner: after all, Putin has ruled Russia since 2000.

To whom sanctions, and to whom - oranges
Vladimir Putin met at the Bocharov Ruchei residence in Sochi with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Following the meeting, the President of Russia noted that in the near future Egypt is ready to increase the supply of agricultural products to Russia by 30%. The access of Egyptian products to the Russian market is planned to be simplified. In turn, Egypt is interested in Russian wheat and counts on the increase in the number of our tourists.
As the Interfax, following the talks held in Sochi with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Russian president said that Egypt is ready to increase its agricultural supply to Russia by another 30%. Earlier, Egypt had already increased them - also by 30%, V. Putin recalled.
Russia and Egypt have agreed to simplify the access of Egyptian agricultural products to the Russian market. In addition, the possibility of creating an Egyptian logistics center on the Black Sea coast was discussed at a meeting in Sochi.
Russia is going to not only buy, but also sell. And there is not only an appropriate offer, but also demand.
“Egypt is the largest consumer of Russian wheat,” said the Russian president. - Our partners were interested in export opportunities this year. For Egypt, it will be at least 5-5,5 million tons. "
Interfax cites the comment of the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nikolai Fyodorov. According to calculations, Fedorov noted, in 2015, Egypt could increase the supply of agricultural products to the Russian Federation (oranges, potatoes, onions, garlic and grapes) by half compared to last year.
Here are some big numbers. If at the end of last year, Egypt supplied agricultural products to Russia for 440 million dollars, then only in the first half of this year, the volume of deliveries was expressed in the sum of 460 million dollars.
Such is the answer to the American, European, and all sorts of Australian sanctions there.
The development of military-technical cooperation between the two countries should also be noted.
As transmits ITAR-TASS, on the expansion of military-technical cooperation between the countries of Russia and Egypt, said Vladimir Putin.
“Military-technical cooperation between the two countries is actively developing, a corresponding protocol was signed in March of this year, our arms are being supplied to Egypt,” the Russian president said. “We have agreed to expand military-technical cooperation.”
Not without reason, the visit of al-Sisi was organized in such a way that the first thing the Egyptian president examined the new models of Russian military equipment - right on the airfield of the Sochi airport. And after that, reminds ITAR-TASS, al-Sisi listened to the explanations of the representatives of the Southern Military District about the possibilities of the military equipment that Russia can offer to Egypt.
In this way, we add, the West will soon discover with surprise that it has imposed sanctions on itself. And this discovery will be another example of the stupidity of the international scale on which the policy cart is placed in front of the horse of the economy.

Everything is powerless before him!
On the air of the Russia 24 channel, LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said that "only one person will decide all questions of war and peace in general, and today especially connected with Ukraine." What kind of man? Obama? Maybe D. Cameron? Or Prince Harry for a cup of tea? Prime Japan? Someone from China? Not. According to Zhirinovsky, these issues will be addressed by the “head of the Russian state”.
The North Atlantic alliance, the EU structures and Obama himself are all powerless before the decision of the main person in Russia.
“Whatever plans are written to NATO, Brussels, whatever directives Barack Obama signs, they will not have any power. The decision will be taken only by one person - the head of the Russian state. As it was the First World War - Nicholas II made the final decision, as the Second World War - all the right decisions and the final decisions were made by Stalin, and now. The Third World War, the main decision - I am sure that it has already been taken, it will gradually be voiced so that they understand: guys, do you need Europe that has burned down again? .. And the Europeans do not want that! Well, what remains of the Baltic? Nothing will be left ", - said Mr. Zhirinovsky to the Russia 24 channel.
He further mentioned NATO airplanes, the European missile defense system, Poland, and again the Baltic countries. All of them are “doomed,” they will be “swept away,” and there “nothing will happen.” Zhirinovsky advised to think again of the leaders of "dwarf states".
According to the politician, “nothing threatens the United States,” but the countries of Eastern Europe are facing the threat of “total annihilation.”
“... And only they are to blame. Because we cannot allow missiles, airplanes directed towards Russia to take off from their territory. We will have to destroy them half an hour before takeoff. And for this we will need to do carpet bombing. Which exclude that at least one launcher, at least one aircraft will remain somewhere, ”the deputy said, further noting that NATO should urgently ask for talks with the Russian foreign minister,“ then we’ll stop. ”
“And so we will be forced to teach a lesson and once again arrange for them in May, forty-five,” Zhirinovsky drew a line.
Add to this that in Ukraine Zhirinovsky is on the list of those whom Kiev is preparing to condemn criminal - along with Shoigu, Malofeyev, Zyuganov and Mironov.
The other day in the press there were news that “wanted” Zhirinovsky had a telephone conversation with Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Zhirinovsky, in his rectilinear manner, advised the representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrive in Moscow. In response, the adviser expressed a desire to meet with Zhirinovsky in court, "perhaps even in The Hague." Further, Mr. Gerashchenko developed his thought and stated that according to him (Zhirinovsky), and also according to Putin, "the Nuremberg court was crying."
Meanwhile, some international analysts are already predicting that Ukraine will plunge into the abyss of bloody dictatorship - most likely, brown (and the essence is not in the waste product that we wash into the toilet, but in the far right of the political spectrum). And no, not Putin will plunge the “nezalezhnuyu” into a nightmare of totalitarianism, but the current government, sitting in Kiev and blaming Moscow for all its troubles under Western applause ...

Black War
In the city of Ferguson (US state of Missouri) riots do not stop. Residents require an objective investigation into the murder of 18-year-old black student Mike Brown by police.
According to the governor of the state of Missouri, Ferguson has turned into a war zone. According to the BBC, several hundred policemen were brought into the city center to ensure order. However, the more policemen appear in the city, the greater the resentment of local residents ...
Despite the fact that the US authorities declare the need to restore confidence among the residents of Missouri, clashes continue. The police once again used tear gas and rubber bullets against the protesters. In response, protesters threw stones and smoke bombs at the police and used traumatic weapons.
In memory of the deceased Brown in the United States announced a minute of silence, which, according to the authorities, was to promote reconciliation.
But so far there is no talk of reconciliation. The latest survey showed that 47% of Americans do not believe that the investigation into the student’s murder will take place objectively. If we talk exclusively about the black Americans who participated in the survey, then about 67% are inclined to believe that the shooting policeman will be unfairly justified.
Speaking about the reasons for the murder, the Missouri state police claim that the policeman fired in response to the aggressive actions of the young man, and after the fight broke out. But eyewitnesses to the incident claim that this is a lie: the shots sounded at the moment when Mike Brown stood with his hands up.
To this it must be added that the most democratic police in the world — the American — used tear gas and opened fire with rubber bullets to disperse the citizens who had taken to the streets. Several people suffered.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon appointed the state traffic police headed by Ron Johnson to be responsible for the rule of law in the city. And here the traffic police, you ask, and who is Comrade Johnson?
It turns out that Captain Ron Johnson is a Negro. Sorry, African American. The same dark-skinned as the killed young man. In addition, this man was born and raised in Ferguson.
No, definitely, the times of democratic slavery will still be cast to the United States ...

Mickey Rourke and the "cool ordinary man"
After the visits of American movie stars Mickey Rourke and Stephen Seagal to Russia, during which they openly spoke of sympathies for Russia and its president, the US State Department recommended the actors to be more restrained in their speeches and actions, notes "RT."
According to one of Mickey Rourke's assistants, State Department representatives called the actor's agent when they learned that he was wearing a T-shirt with the image of Vladimir Putin. During the conversation, there was a demand not to advertise feelings for Russia in public.
It is worth recalling that Mickey Rourke gave an interview to LifeNews in just such a T-shirt.
“In the morning I was in the gym, then I went to the store, bought T-shirts with Mr Putin. I really like them. They have good colors, great photos of the boss! I bought eight pieces for gifts. If I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t buy this t-shirt. Believe me, I met him several times, he is a real gentleman, a cool ordinary man, he looked me straight in the eyes. I think he is a good man. If it hadn’t been like that, I wouldn’t wear this T-shirt, trust me, ”he said.
T-shirt with the image of Putin and Steven Seagal, who came to Sevastopol with a concert.
“My most important desire has always been a rapprochement between Russia and America, and music is the language of God. This is the only language that everyone understands, and the only one that brings people together, ”he said from the stage.
Seagal openly supports Putin’s policies, opposing the views of Western leaders.
“All my American friends and acquaintances love their Russian friends. And our Russian friends love American friends. We love each other. And it hurts that someone somewhere out there, at the top, you need to wage war. We, ordinary people, want peace. In my opinion, the balance of forces in the world is such that Russia and America simply cannot be brothers. This is what the people of both countries want, ”he said in an interview.
If today the US State Department points out to its citizens (and citizens, quite noticeable on an international scale) which t-shirts they are not recommended to wear, then it is possible that tomorrow John Kerry will, in an orderly manner, put on B.H. Obama’s T-shirts for Hollywood stars Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel.
Well, for the ladies of the stars will prepare their holy trinity. Hollywood women will be obliged to wear outfits with portraits of Jen Psaki, Susan Rice and Samantha Power.

And Makarevich, apparently, is very old,
Broadcasts like Lenin on his armored car,
Which rusts from insanity.
And he is not a hunter today for good luck,
And that turn disappeared in the distance,
The world to bend considered his task
And it turned out the opposite ...

Ukrainian insanity is gaining momentum. This time, the authorities of the Chernihiv region distinguished themselves, stating that they intend to seriously strengthen the border with the Russian Federation along the lines of the “Mannerheim Line”.
Chairman of the Regional Council of the Chernihiv region Nikolay Zverev:
The Ukrainian border with Russia should be strengthened according to the principle of the “Mannerheim Line”. It was this line that allowed Finland in 1940 two months to restrain the attack of the USSR. The total length of engineering structures in the Chernihiv region will be 183 kilometers.
As reported, the width of the Mannerheim ukrorva will be 6 meters with a depth of 3 m. By simple calculations, we conclude that the total volumes of soil removal will exceed 3 million cubic meters. The population of the Chernihiv region is approximately 1 million people (minus the officials and their families). Is Zverev going to send this ditch to Chernigov dwellers (including old people and babies) by defining the norm in 3 of a cube of soil for each of them? Without payment - for the sake of the "single edge", of course. And what! - while people dig a ditch, Zverev associates can proceed to a more relaxed "development" of the regional budget ...

Bear Wanted
The chief prosecutor's office of Georgia has accused ex-President Mikhail Saakashvili of embezzling 8.8 million lari (about 5,1 million dollars) through the funds of the State Guard. Significant amounts were spent on payment for the services of masseuses, personal designer, Spanish chef, hotels, purchase of food and souvenirs.
On Thursday, the Georgian prosecutor's office put Saakashvili on the wanted list. So far, fortunately for Saakashvili, inside. The ministry reports that as soon as Saakashvili appears in Georgia, he will be arrested. It turns out that the prosecutor’s office itself gives a signal to Nikolozovich: to sit in the States and beyond the new American state - Ukraine - do not stick out, which Nikolozovich does well. They say that even in the state of Georgia they are afraid to look in - suddenly these Americans will make a mess again ...

Passion for humanitarian convoys
Russian President Vladimir Putin held telephone talks with the head of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso. Putin said that the consequences of the punitive operation of Kiev in the Donbas are of catastrophic proportions, and the people of the south-eastern regions need humanitarian assistance. ITAR-TASS, citing the Kremlin’s press service, reports that Russia is sending a humanitarian convoy to the Donbass, which has been agreed with the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross).
How is the song sung? “The third day on the road, hey, mate, do not be sad ...” Further quoting of this song of the group “Lyube” is canceled in order not to injure the tender Ukrainian souls. After all, for Ukraine, this humanitarian convoy, with the filing of mouth openers at the State Department and the UN Security Council, initially became an “act of aggression” of Russia. Vladimir Putin seems to see residents of Ukraine in the cab of each KamAZ truck struck with the bacillus of the “Poroshenkovschina”, and Viktor Yanukovich is inside the trucks through torn tarpaulin. Every third truck, according to Kiev, carries an activated atomic warhead, all others are chemical and biological. weapons mixed up
And according to Avakov’s adviser, Mr. Gerashchenko, Kiev should form his humanitarian convoy with bacon and stew and send it to Moscow. In this situation, one thing is not clear: in Ukraine, all practicing psychiatrists died out, or what? ..

Late news
The UN published a report that literally shocked the Western public. The report says that the number of people killed in Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict is 2086 people, more than 5 thousand people were injured. About this reports agency «Reuters».
In a previous report, published about two weeks ago, UN experts declared 1129 dead in Ukraine. It turns out that in just two weeks the number of victims of the civil war has almost doubled. This fact caused a great response in the foreign press.
Western readers write in the comments that they couldn’t imagine the true extent of the Ukrainian conflict. According to one of the British users of social networks (nickname Ken12), the big European catastrophe has been gaining momentum for several months now, and the world is only now learning about its true reach.
This once again suggests that the West is in the information blockade. Western media are used to giving out to the public only the information that fits with the interests of the ruling elites, even if this information is a blatant lie. That is why the appearance of truth in the Western media today is shocking readers.
As a result, Western state propaganda, controlling the major media, is obtained directly by Paul Craig Roberts: they fool themselves. In one of his new articles, an American publicist wrote that the "ridiculous lie" of propaganda indicates to us that propagandists do not give a damn to the intellect of the Western public who is being fooled.
But the main thing here is, let's add from ourselves, that time after time lie retreats before the truth. As a result, the false press loses influence, subscribers, and the power institutions of the United States and the EU appear to citizens of Western countries to be sources of misinformation. A side effect is the growing popularity of Russian channels, for example, “RT”, whose viewpoint Westerners consider alternative. Attention to the Russian media throughout the West, starting with the United States, suggests that Americans and Europeans are tired of the monotonous lies of the “presidents” (the term of Comrade Roberts). The propaganda hydra of imperialism began to devour itself.

Uninteresting crime
In Poland, another act of vandalism was committed against a memorial to Soviet soldiers who fell for the liberation of this land from Hitler’s troops. A police spokesman for the Warmia-Mazury voivodeship claims that a red star was torn from a monument to Soviet soldiers and several graves were desecrated. For some reason the criminals took the red star with them.
The same police spokesman says that desecration of memorials in Poland is punishable by a fine or correctional labor. Reports about it "the Russian newspaper".
The question is whether the county Polish police intend to search for vandals? None of these acts of vandalism has yet been investigated. None of the vandals did not bear the deserved punishment, which indicates the disinterest of the Polish authorities to investigate such crimes.
It is reported that the incident occurred on the night of last Sunday, but in Poland information about the desecration of the monument to Soviet soldiers was spread only on August 13.
Already that week in the "Results of the Week" on "VO" continues the review of the desecration of monuments to Soviet soldiers-liberators in Poland. It turns out a kind of gloomy series, the main characters of which are mysterious night vandals, against which the Polish police are powerless. Shouldn't the police be sent to correctional labor?

For Zyablitseva.
Desecration of monuments to Soviet soldiers in Poland has already adopted a system, moreover under the patronage of the government.
And here it is possible, for example, to consider the same preserved monuments in Germany, although someone who, and they, it would seem, should have demolished them long ago ...
I’d like to say about the Poles: a nation that does not have and does not honor historical memory, it does not and will not have its own history in the future ...

Oil democracy
The United States will send military advisers to 130 Iraqi Kurdistan to help the autonomy forces confront the Islamic State (IS) militants. Earlier, the White House announced that it would directly supply the Kurds with light weapons and equipment, the RT channel reported.
Militants "IG" for several months seized all new areas of Iraq. But the Americans began to show activity only after the militants came close to Kurdistan. The Pentagon said that "this is a humanitarian issue that will have dire consequences for the whole world."
Extremists threaten not only the inhabitants of the autonomy, but also the extraction of "black gold". After the invasion of Americans in 2003, oil production in Kurdistan has increased dramatically. The number of mining companies operating today includes the American giants Chevron and ExxonMobil. Political activist Raed Jarrar called this the main argument of the current activity of the US administration.
Kurdistan has nothing against the presence of Americans in the region, but really wants to disconnect from Iraq. Kurds are selling oil on their own without regard to Baghdad, which, according to them, does not list a legitimate share of their income. In this confusion, the possibility of secession from Iraq has become real as never before. And the support of Kurdistan by Washington only adds fuel to the fire ...
Well what can I say ... Just like in the "good old" times!
We have already written on the "Military Review" that the notorious democratic values of the United States are the same as interests. Everything that is “interesting” to the United States is “valuable”.
And in the first place there is energy - the key to power and fueling the petrodollar.
In the spring of 2012, this position was very clearly voiced by the then US Secretary of State. Speaking at the University of Syracuse (New York), Hillary Clinton put it quite frankly: “Diplomacy in the energy sector is a critical factor in our national security, not only in terms of meeting the energy needs of the United States at an affordable price, but also in terms of the role that energy plays in our relations with other regions of the world.”
And you say - human rights ...

Prime Minister's Triumph
In the presidential elections in Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan won, receiving 52% of the vote. From the premiers to the presidents - this is how one can characterize his victory. Coming out on the balcony of the headquarters of the Justice and Development Party, Erdogan noticed that democracy won the elections and also promised the people a new era.
"I will become president not only for those who voted for me, I will be the president of 77 millions," Erdogan said in his speech. “Today, the will of the people has triumphed again, today democracy has won again. Those who did not vote for me achieved the same results as my supporters. Those who do not like me, won the same victory as those to whom I like, "quotes the future president "BBC".
Promising the people a new era, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said: “I want to build a new future based on the principle of public reconciliation, considering our differences as our property and focusing not on our differences, but on common values.”
According to experts, whose opinion leads Gazeta.ru, Erdogan plans to achieve a redistribution of powers in the presidential favor. And it will be easy to do this: after all, the Justice and Development Party controls the majority of seats in parliament.
Erdogan, who became prime minister in the 2003 year, will be in power for sixteen years by the end of his first term in office, the newspaper notes. And besides, he doesn’t hide at all that he is going to rule Turkey until 2024.
It seems that Erdogan decided to arrange a political longevity competition with Putin. However, Vladimir Vladimirovich will not get around him: even if the peoples of Russia and Turkey re-elect both (in 2018 and 2019), additional power "points" will be in favor of the Kremlin owner: after all, Putin has ruled Russia since 2000.

Turkey is for Russia, if not an ally, then at least an economic partner, and a NATO member who has the right to vote. The more dependent on our energy carriers, the less likely that Turkey will support the attack on Russia. I want to believe in the best.

There is a political slogan: "Putin is Russian Erdogan, and Erdogan is Turkish Putin." If the Prime Minister of Turkey was not afraid to "go against the opinion of Washington", then with Russia on the way!
To whom sanctions, and to whom - oranges
Vladimir Putin met at the Bocharov Ruchei residence in Sochi with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Following the meeting, the President of Russia noted that in the near future Egypt is ready to increase the supply of agricultural products to Russia by 30%. The access of Egyptian products to the Russian market is planned to be simplified. In turn, Egypt is interested in Russian wheat and counts on the increase in the number of our tourists.
As the Interfax, following the talks held in Sochi with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Russian president said that Egypt is ready to increase its agricultural supply to Russia by another 30%. Earlier, Egypt had already increased them - also by 30%, V. Putin recalled.
Russia and Egypt have agreed to simplify the access of Egyptian agricultural products to the Russian market. In addition, the possibility of creating an Egyptian logistics center on the Black Sea coast was discussed at a meeting in Sochi.
Russia is going to not only buy, but also sell. And there is not only an appropriate offer, but also demand.
“Egypt is the largest consumer of Russian wheat,” said the Russian president. - Our partners were interested in export opportunities this year. For Egypt, it will be at least 5-5,5 million tons. "
Interfax cites the comment of the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nikolai Fyodorov. According to calculations, Fedorov noted, in 2015, Egypt could increase the supply of agricultural products to the Russian Federation (oranges, potatoes, onions, garlic and grapes) by half compared to last year.
Here are some big numbers. If at the end of last year, Egypt supplied agricultural products to Russia for 440 million dollars, then only in the first half of this year, the volume of deliveries was expressed in the sum of 460 million dollars.
Such is the answer to the American, European, and all sorts of Australian sanctions there.
The development of military-technical cooperation between the two countries should also be noted.
As transmits ITAR-TASS, on the expansion of military-technical cooperation between the countries of Russia and Egypt, said Vladimir Putin.
“Military-technical cooperation between the two countries is actively developing, a corresponding protocol was signed in March of this year, our arms are being supplied to Egypt,” the Russian president said. “We have agreed to expand military-technical cooperation.”
Not without reason, the visit of al-Sisi was organized in such a way that the first thing the Egyptian president examined the new models of Russian military equipment - right on the airfield of the Sochi airport. And after that, reminds ITAR-TASS, al-Sisi listened to the explanations of the representatives of the Southern Military District about the possibilities of the military equipment that Russia can offer to Egypt.
In this way, we add, the West will soon discover with surprise that it has imposed sanctions on itself. And this discovery will be another example of the stupidity of the international scale on which the policy cart is placed in front of the horse of the economy.

Everything is powerless before him!
On the air of the Russia 24 channel, LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky said that "only one person will decide all questions of war and peace in general, and today especially connected with Ukraine." What kind of man? Obama? Maybe D. Cameron? Or Prince Harry for a cup of tea? Prime Japan? Someone from China? Not. According to Zhirinovsky, these issues will be addressed by the “head of the Russian state”.
The North Atlantic alliance, the EU structures and Obama himself are all powerless before the decision of the main person in Russia.
“Whatever plans are written to NATO, Brussels, whatever directives Barack Obama signs, they will not have any power. The decision will be taken only by one person - the head of the Russian state. As it was the First World War - Nicholas II made the final decision, as the Second World War - all the right decisions and the final decisions were made by Stalin, and now. The Third World War, the main decision - I am sure that it has already been taken, it will gradually be voiced so that they understand: guys, do you need Europe that has burned down again? .. And the Europeans do not want that! Well, what remains of the Baltic? Nothing will be left ", - said Mr. Zhirinovsky to the Russia 24 channel.
He further mentioned NATO airplanes, the European missile defense system, Poland, and again the Baltic countries. All of them are “doomed,” they will be “swept away,” and there “nothing will happen.” Zhirinovsky advised to think again of the leaders of "dwarf states".
According to the politician, “nothing threatens the United States,” but the countries of Eastern Europe are facing the threat of “total annihilation.”
“... And only they are to blame. Because we cannot allow missiles, airplanes directed towards Russia to take off from their territory. We will have to destroy them half an hour before takeoff. And for this we will need to do carpet bombing. Which exclude that at least one launcher, at least one aircraft will remain somewhere, ”the deputy said, further noting that NATO should urgently ask for talks with the Russian foreign minister,“ then we’ll stop. ”
“And so we will be forced to teach a lesson and once again arrange for them in May, forty-five,” Zhirinovsky drew a line.
Add to this that in Ukraine Zhirinovsky is on the list of those whom Kiev is preparing to condemn criminal - along with Shoigu, Malofeyev, Zyuganov and Mironov.
The other day in the press there were news that “wanted” Zhirinovsky had a telephone conversation with Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Zhirinovsky, in his rectilinear manner, advised the representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrive in Moscow. In response, the adviser expressed a desire to meet with Zhirinovsky in court, "perhaps even in The Hague." Further, Mr. Gerashchenko developed his thought and stated that according to him (Zhirinovsky), and also according to Putin, "the Nuremberg court was crying."
Meanwhile, some international analysts are already predicting that Ukraine will plunge into the abyss of bloody dictatorship - most likely, brown (and the essence is not in the waste product that we wash into the toilet, but in the far right of the political spectrum). And no, not Putin will plunge the “nezalezhnuyu” into a nightmare of totalitarianism, but the current government, sitting in Kiev and blaming Moscow for all its troubles under Western applause ...

The main audience is simple Europeans who do not understand the intricacies of politics and history and are not accustomed to analyze. I have friends in distant lands, have already begun to think, they say - everything goes to a big war. Zhirinovsky knows very well how and what to say; he knows better than anyone to whom his speeches are addressed. Everything is thought out and agreed, respect our team.

And smart people listened to them with more attention than to high-ranking grandees.

It has long been noted that Zhirinovsky is saying that the Kremlin for one reason or another cannot say officially, while Zhirinovsky, using his scandalous reputation, can say whatever he wants. Wolfych is a smart politician, it’s not for nothing that he has been in politics for so many years and has a stable percentage of voters.

Black War
In the city of Ferguson (US state of Missouri) riots do not stop. Residents require an objective investigation into the murder of 18-year-old black student Mike Brown by police.
According to the governor of the state of Missouri, Ferguson has turned into a war zone. According to the BBC, several hundred policemen were brought into the city center to ensure order. However, the more policemen appear in the city, the greater the resentment of local residents ...
Despite the fact that the US authorities declare the need to restore confidence among the residents of Missouri, clashes continue. The police once again used tear gas and rubber bullets against the protesters. In response, protesters threw stones and smoke bombs at the police and used traumatic weapons.
In memory of the deceased Brown in the United States announced a minute of silence, which, according to the authorities, was to promote reconciliation.
But so far there is no talk of reconciliation. The latest survey showed that 47% of Americans do not believe that the investigation into the student’s murder will take place objectively. If we talk exclusively about the black Americans who participated in the survey, then about 67% are inclined to believe that the shooting policeman will be unfairly justified.
Speaking about the reasons for the murder, the Missouri state police claim that the policeman fired in response to the aggressive actions of the young man, and after the fight broke out. But eyewitnesses to the incident claim that this is a lie: the shots sounded at the moment when Mike Brown stood with his hands up.
To this it must be added that the most democratic police in the world — the American — used tear gas and opened fire with rubber bullets to disperse the citizens who had taken to the streets. Several people suffered.
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon appointed the state traffic police headed by Ron Johnson to be responsible for the rule of law in the city. And here the traffic police, you ask, and who is Comrade Johnson?
It turns out that Captain Ron Johnson is a Negro. Sorry, African American. The same dark-skinned as the killed young man. In addition, this man was born and raised in Ferguson.
No, definitely, the times of democratic slavery will still be cast to the United States ...

The Russian Foreign Ministry needs to draw the attention of the world community to the unlawful use of violence against peaceful protesters in Missouri. The American gendarme must stop all actions aimed at the violent suppression of the peaceful will of the population! Democracy must start making its way in this totalitarian country - a country where peaceful demonstrations demanding justice are suppressed by force! The whole world should see the true face of the pseudo-democracy existing in the United States. All reasonable people in the United States who are concerned about the future of their country should go to a peaceful demonstration directed against the aggressive policies of the current authorities. I emphasize, peaceful, because people should not be like their aggressive power! But those who have weapons should take it with them, in case the authorities decide to use force and need to respond, because the good in the United States should be with the fists!

Mickey Rourke and the "cool ordinary man"
After the visits of American movie stars Mickey Rourke and Stephen Seagal to Russia, during which they openly spoke of sympathies for Russia and its president, the US State Department recommended the actors to be more restrained in their speeches and actions, notes "RT."
According to one of Mickey Rourke's assistants, State Department representatives called the actor's agent when they learned that he was wearing a T-shirt with the image of Vladimir Putin. During the conversation, there was a demand not to advertise feelings for Russia in public.
It is worth recalling that Mickey Rourke gave an interview to LifeNews in just such a T-shirt.
“In the morning I was in the gym, then I went to the store, bought T-shirts with Mr Putin. I really like them. They have good colors, great photos of the boss! I bought eight pieces for gifts. If I didn’t like him, I wouldn’t buy this t-shirt. Believe me, I met him several times, he is a real gentleman, a cool ordinary man, he looked me straight in the eyes. I think he is a good man. If it hadn’t been like that, I wouldn’t wear this T-shirt, trust me, ”he said.
T-shirt with the image of Putin and Steven Seagal, who came to Sevastopol with a concert.
“My most important desire has always been a rapprochement between Russia and America, and music is the language of God. This is the only language that everyone understands, and the only one that brings people together, ”he said from the stage.
Seagal openly supports Putin’s policies, opposing the views of Western leaders.
“All my American friends and acquaintances love their Russian friends. And our Russian friends love American friends. We love each other. And it hurts that someone somewhere out there, at the top, you need to wage war. We, ordinary people, want peace. In my opinion, the balance of forces in the world is such that Russia and America simply cannot be brothers. This is what the people of both countries want, ”he said in an interview.
If today the US State Department points out to its citizens (and citizens, quite noticeable on an international scale) which t-shirts they are not recommended to wear, then it is possible that tomorrow John Kerry will, in an orderly manner, put on B.H. Obama’s T-shirts for Hollywood stars Joe Biden and Chuck Hagel.
Well, for the ladies of the stars will prepare their holy trinity. Hollywood women will be obliged to wear outfits with portraits of Jen Psaki, Susan Rice and Samantha Power.
