President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko he said that Minsk did not need conflicts with neighboring countries, partly due to the migration crisis at the borders. According to him, the problem is artificially inflated by neighbors.
“Poland needs this conflict today,” Lukashenko is quoted as saying by the Telegram-channel Pul. – There are more than enough problems with the European Union – and this crowd is starting and shooting
Russia is now more than ever close to open military conflict with the US, NATO and Ukraine. This view was expressed by military historian Boris Yulin, who suggested that Washington launch hostilities under the pretext of peacekeeping operations and “peace enforcement.”

” As militant rhetoric on both sides is escalating, we are very close to an open military confrontation, “said the historian in an interview with Lenta.ru. According to the partner, the United States is deliberately escalating the situation in Eastern Europe in order to obtain a pretext for bringing its forces into Ukraine permanently.
The historian noted that Russia has something to respond to a potential threat, because since the time of the USSR, the country has a strong nuclear potential, which remains second in the world. And this arsenal, according to Yulin, remains Russia's only defense.
“NATO is much stronger than Russia, both in numbers and weapons. So if the Americans suddenly develop a really good missile defense, we can expect military action against our country, “he said.
At the same time, the expert stressed that the United States is China. which poses a serious threat to the economic power of Americans.
If a military conflict does occur, then, according to Yulin, the classic scenario will be followed: with weapons in hand and on the battlefield.
“All this will most likely take place under the slogans of a peace operation, coercion of peace,” the historian said, citing NATO's military aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999 as an example.

American pilots were hit once sensual humor of Soviet colleagues who lifted MiG aircraft into the air to intercept American fighters. One of the American pilots, whose memory was included in the collection of stories dedicated to Douglas F3D Skyknight (F-10) air missions, said that Soviet pilots reported during the interception that they were being photographed by air opponents.
According to the Theaviationgeekclub, pilot Chuck Houseman confirmed that they had 35mm handheld cameras.
“The Russians reported on the radio that they were being filmed and asked them to do so. Then one of the dispatchers decided to joke and replied: “Smile” – we remember Houseman, adding that the Americans would never have thought that the Russians had a sense of humor at all.

News – and scandal of the day: the Chechen parliament has filed a motion to ban the nationality and origin of criminals in criminal reports and social networks. So it “ignites” less. What to add, good provocation. First, the authors are important – the source of the idea of combating national stereotypes and evokes these stereotypes. But not only that – it's all useless, experts working on this topic are sure.

Let's really turn off national stereotypes and involve cultural modern people. The crime has no nationality, nose shape, eye color, waist and homeland. Do you agree? We agree, we are not Nazis! And what's the difference between who exactly beat the guy who stood up for the girls in the subway, whoever it was, must be found and neutralized.
The truth is, if we're good-natured showmen. But if we wear shoulder straps and investigate these crimes, everything will change somewhat. “Understanding the social context of a criminal is extremely important for solving a crime,” said a former Moscow city police officer. – Fellow fighters in the case of recidivists, villagers, colleagues from work, relatives, of course – these are all social ties. And speaking of ethnic crime, the “cop” is not a Nazi, but a pragmatist. An ethnonym is a short description of the whole complex of human qualities for him. “
If the police say “a native of the Caucasus” or “a native of Central Asia” or use any other ethnonym that can “ignite”, they do not mean cultural features, but purely practical moments, the source said. Could there be a knife or a “barrel” in the defendant's pocket? Will he raise his hands when he is arrested or will he start a fight? Will there be a few dozen relatives in jeeps? Can he finally hide in his little homeland, where “there is no extradition”? This is necessary for operational work: whether to call SOBR, whether to be prepared for armed resistance, etc., says the expert.
– Of course, it would be nice to eliminate this misunderstanding by introducing more politically correct wording into the bodies and removing ethnony so that national prejudices do not arise, says the criminologist. – But this is hardly possible: the name of the nationality will always be easier and faster to remember than any other term, so the police – and they are usually ordinary guys – will not bother.
On the other side of the “barricade” – from representatives of the media community – there was even more criticism. There are many arguments. And that the ban on “calling a cat” will only increase prejudice and conspiracy theories. And that we ban the nationalities and religions of criminals – and what to do with Russia's declared multinationality, because then it is much easier to establish “non-national” provinces? Finally, a reminder of a mechanism such as solidarity national disgrace: if you stop “roaring” crime by certain ethnic groups, the intra-community mechanisms of self-control will not work either. Yes, of course, gopniks from the hall in Moscow will be “otmazhil”, but at home they will still be under control. It happens, let's not argue.
And most importantly, it's all unrealistic. Ethnicity will not be mentioned in the police chronicle or even in telegrams – well, but what are we going to do with videos that show that criminals walk, talk and look a certain way? Ban all for political correctness? Maybe we'll figure it out.

“Listen, I already said: we absolutely don't. It has nothing to do with it, only absolutely! “Putin added that the migration crisis has political, military and economic reasons, and that Western countries themselves have created hundreds of thousands of people to go to them.” And now they are looking for “The Russian president emphasized.” What does our Aeroflot have to do with this? Does at least one Aeroflot plane carry anyone? ” Putin asks, commenting on allegations from Western countries. Putin admitted that someone could fly and move through third countries, but Russia had nothing to do with it.
occur “, – said the Russian leader.
Putin added that Russia was ready to help resolve the crisis if anything depended on it.
Aeroflot has also previously denied media reports of their involvement in organizing the transport of migrants to Belarus and stressed that the airline does not operate flights to Iraq and Syria, as well as from Istanbul to Minsk.
USA in case of war with Russia or China is able to use the aircraft for special missions MC-130J Commando II, reports 19FortyFive. The aircraft first entered service in 2012 and took part in the operation to liquidate ISIS leader (banned in the Russian Federation) Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.
One such plane costs $ 114 million. MC-130J Commando II specializes in air refueling of helicopters for special operations and also for the transfer of special forces in poor visibility, including night. “ While soldiers are in battle, they can supply special operations units in half-empty or forbidden areas or provide support for psychological operations by dropping leaflets or sending messages, & # 39; & # 39; says the article.
The MC-130 is considered a universal aircraft that can do a lot in the right hands, one former pilot of such an aircraft emphasized. “ For example, we can deliver SEAL supplies in the Philippines or land behind enemy lines and evacuate seriously wounded soldiers, & # 39; & # 39; he noted.
It was also recently revealed that the aircraft is capable of carrying the M142 artillery missile system (HIMARS). This happened during an exercise in the Baltic Sea. This means that this aircraft is able to deliver deadly systems across the battlefield in a short period of time.
During a potential conflict, the MC-130 is able to create rapid rearmament and refueling. “Such an impromptu installation will increase the survival and mortality of NATO aircraft, as it will be more difficult for Russians to attack because they will operate from an unknown 'airport,'” the article points out.
