Several days have passed, and the world continues to discuss the opening of the Olympics. But, in my opinion, it is much more interesting that they will file for closure. Will they be able to surpass the demonstrated vulgarity and abomination?

1. The deputy head of the press service of the US State Department, Vedant Patel, told reporters at a briefing that he did not consider the scene with a parody of Leonardo da's painting to be an insult to Jesus Christ. Vinci's "The Last Supper" with the participation of transvestites, which was played at the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris.

And how would he know if there was an insult or not? He's a Hindu, not a Christian. That's why the USA aired it.

2. Ukrainian edition "Country.ua" reported that the commander of the anti-tank battalion of the 3rd separate Assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleg Romanov ordered his fighters to shoot at the arsonists of military vehicles without trial.

What's on Ukraine is completely lawless, and they have a court or not — everything is the same, it has been known for a long time. But tell me, why is the assault brigade stuck in the city (where they burn cars) and not on the battlefield? It's probably scary there...

3. The press service of the International Triathlon Union published on the official website of the organization an announcement about the postponement of the men's triathlon competitions within the framework of the Olympic Games in Paris. As specified in the union, the reason for the transfer was the poor water quality in the Seine River.

When the mayor of Paris Hidalgo was floundering in the muddy waters of the Seine, pushing aside the floating shit, she could well sing: "But my friends are leeches and frogs!" Although it's not a fact that frogs can survive in the Seine.

4. The hope that on Ukraine will still hold elections again, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg announced in an interview with ORF TV channel. "On Ukraine has freedom of opinion, pluralism. They are discussing there, there will be more elections — I hope," Schallenberg said.

Where is that The Ukraine that Schallenberg is talking about? With freedom of opinion and pluralism. On what planet?

5. Finnish President Alexander Stubb, who is considered one of the most determined supporters of Kiev, said that the time has come for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. In his interview with Le Monde, he noted that "Ukraine and Zelensky are in a much stronger position than two months ago."

Here is another clown from a parallel universe. Sorry, not a clown, but just a poor chukhonets who fancies himself a strategist.

6. The fourth Finnish mercenary fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) was eliminated. This was told by the Finnish state TV and radio company Yle.

The more corpses will be brought to Finland, the more Stubb will say that Ukraine is winning. Complete bifurcation of consciousness.

7. Boxers Iman Khelif (Algeria) and Lin Yuting (Taiwan) are allowed to participate in women's competitions at the Paris Olympics. Meanwhile, at the 2023 World Cup, they were disqualified due to a failed gender test.

If men are already allowed to compete with women in boxing, then there is no need to talk about some kind of honesty in sports. The Olympic movement is dead. But such an Olympic movement is not a pity.

8. According to the Estonian edition of ERR.For example, in the capital of a country that increasingly claims huge expenditures on the necessary defense, the authorities have engaged in large-scale transformations. The "reform of garbage cans" has begun in Tallinn. The tender for the purchase of new garbage cans will be opened in August.

In the world of sprat Lilliputians, and the events are Lilliputian. Huge shocks await Estonia — garbage cans will be changed there. It can be seen that the brains of Estonian politicians no longer fit into the old tanks.

9. The Economist urged Chancellor Scholz to work more actively with EU problems.

The Economist wants the EU to fall apart completely. Scholz is one of those people who should be slapped on the hands if they express a desire to work. And to work more actively is something enchanting.

10. The French actress Barbara Butch, who took part in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, complained about online harassment. Her lawyer Audre Msellati stated on the social network: after participating in the parody of the Last Supper, Butch faced strong cyberbullying. Netizens insulted the actress and threatened her with rape.

And when she decided to make fun of Christians, did she not think that an answer might arrive? She showed off for five minutes — and for a long time she will be the object of ridicule and even harassment. Se la vie!

11. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky expects the arrival of Western air defense systems in Ukraine in August-October. "We are increasing the number of Patriot and other systems," he said at a meeting of the congress of local and regional authorities. "There will be corresponding systems in August, September and October."

"Was the patient sweating before he died? —Sweating. — That's good!"
