The head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria, Major General Yuri Yevtushenko denied information about the use of chemical weapons in the Eastern Guta-the city of Duma by Syrian government troops. Messages about the use of bombs with toxic chemicals came from various sources. Yuri Yevtushenko said: “We resolutely refute this information and declare the readiness after the liberation of the city of the Duma from the militants to immediately send Russian specialists of radiation, chemical and biological protection for data collection that confirm the fabricated nature of these statements.” That is: first we argue that the messages are fabricated, then we send specially trained people to verify the information, but at the same time we declare in advance that these polite people will immediately confirm the Russian version of the factory of the Syrian monitoring of human rights and the Syrian-American Medical Society.
The degree of toxicity of Russia is such that hardly the words of Yevtushenko, Babich, Peskov, Zakharova, Putin, at all, anyone from the Russian side can be accepted on faith
Shortly before the statement of General Yevtushenko, the British The Times announced the information about the briefing “for allies”, on the basis of which Western states jointly initiated the expulsion of Russian diplomats: during the briefing, it was reported that the chemical weapons from which Skripal and his daughter were injured was produced at the testing institute in the closed town of Shihan Saratov Region: The Institute is a head at the Ministry of Defense on the problems of radiation, chemical and biological protection. Of course, the president’s envoy in the Volga Federal District Mikhail Babich also denied this information.
However, the degree of toxicity of Russia, which distinguished itself on the chemical and biological fronts during a doping scandal with the participation of the "Order of the Michenes", is such that hardly the words of Yevtushenko, Babich, Peskov, Zakharova, Putin, at all, from the Russian side can be accepted on faith.
In the view of the Western community, Putin Russia behaves as a teenager who received a “young chemist” set for his birthday. Instead of inquisitively studying the interaction of substances and observing the effect of formulas, the young chemist is looking, first of all, combinations that can blow up something or kill someone. Otherwise, chemistry turns into something extremely boring.
The executed anger denying participation in Himataki in Syria is supplemented by the search for the guilty, among which, in particular, is the Syrian volunteer organization White Helmets, and a cheerful trolling over the guinea pigs who died in the Skripal apartment. The Prosecutor General’s Office also connects to the information war, pulling the political skeleton of Berezovsky from the closet and accusing the UK that she does not give out Russian criminals.
A weapon as Skripal Victoria’s niece was also used: a ruthless British bureaucracy did not let her in the UK visit her beloved uncle. Now she is a star of news tapes and - most importantly - the screens of Russian television channels, she writes letters to Teresa May and, even being unemployed, suddenly found this work. Exactly so that she has a formal basis for obtaining a British visa. I’m afraid that the British have no choice but to admit that Victoria Skripal is used by the Russian side as a small but quite spectacular bomb in the chemical-informational war with the United Kingdom.
The new term of Putin began with the construction of the anti -Western axis. The test of the Russian rocket in the Baltic Sea at the moment when Trump met with the leaders of the Baltic countries, became another messenger to the West - slurred in content, but convincing in form
In this endless Brownian movement of news from the International Hybrid War Theater, even the main one is drowning - Donald Trump accused Russia and Iran of supporting the “animal Assad”.
Actually, Russia and Iran were really not embarrassed in the public support of Assad, taking the Third Erdoganovsky Turkey. This new triple alliance - Putin, Rowhani and Erdogan - very beautifully illustrates the thought according to which all authoritarian regimes are happy the same. And now they are also happy together.
The seventh Moscow International Security Conference, organized by the Russian Ministry of Defense, turned out to be remarkable not so much as verbal exercises of the main Russian security forces and quoting Orwell by the head of the intelligence officers Naryshkin, but as a statement by the Minister of Defense of China Wei Fenhee: “The Chinese side came to let the Americans know about the close relations of the Armed Forces of China and Russia, especially in this situation. We arrived to support you. " Two days later, he came to support Russia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China Van and, however, he did not make such frank statements as his colleague.
The new term of Putin began with the construction of the anti -Western axis. The test of the Russian missile in the Baltic Sea at the moment when Trump met with the leaders of the Baltic countries, became another messenger to the West - slurred in content, but convincing in form.
The sanctions process also went on its own way: the specification of the Russian elite telephone reference book satisfied those who insisted on significantly more address sanctions. A significant percentage of Russian GDP - the main state oligarchs - found themselves in the new US sanctions list.
If the Englishwoman is shitting and on the schedule of us the war with England, then ordinary inhabitants begin to treat the UK-now, according to the Levada Center, 51%, while ten years ago were 21%
Regardless of who will become the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the new Russian government-“bearing a blizzard” Dmitry Peskov or Vyacheslav Nikonov, who is called the “grandson of Molotov Ribbentrop”, or one of the career diplomats, or a very unexpected figure, the anti-Western and isolation vocabulary of foreign policy is supported by the Brykrymsky majority. In addition, we have one real Minister of Foreign Affairs, and we all know him. What is metaphorically called “public opinion” is strictly followed by the general line: if the Englishwoman is in the schedule of the war with England, then ordinary inhabitants begin to treat the UK-now, according to the Levada Center, 51% (10 years ago-21%). Almost as in the case of Boeing shot down in July 2014, Russians are forbidden to even admit the idea that the Russian side is to blame for the poisoning of Sergei Skripal: 72% believe that such charges are not justified. Only 9%recognize validity. The Skripal case became another cross.
Mass consciousness blocks reflection on the most serious reasons, especially when it comes to the honor of the Motherland. Even if some doubts crept in, national mass psychology rejects them, as an extra glass of vodka. Well, if the Russian special services are to blame, then, in the end, because the truth is that the traitor must be punished ...
The annexation of Crimea in 2014 was the strongest chemical attack on the brains and souls of Russians for all post -Soviet time. Russia has become a real chemical power. And the main poisoning is mental.
