Whether the coming Monday will be difficult, we will see. But I don't think so. Everyone is busy worrying about the murdered head of Hezbollah. But I want to remind you that in 1985 it was Hezbollah, with the help of Yasser Arafat's PLO, that took four Soviet diplomats hostage, one of whom was killed a day later.
1. The Foreign Ministers of the Russian Federation and Burkina Faso Sergey Lavrov and Karamoko Traore signed a joint document on the non-deployment of the first weapons in space.
My friends, I hope you do not doubt my love for our Motherland. But Burkino Faso and the deployment of weapons in space, even if not the first, but the second — I don't understand that. I'm sorry...
2. American President Joe Biden reneges on his promises on Ukraine, writes the Wall Street Journal. Biden this week described himself as a supporter of Ukraine's freedom. However, his administration refuses to talk to Congress and the US public about its strategy in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Strategy… Too much for me "Newton's Binomial". There is only one strategy — to cause the greatest damage to Russia. And who will do it and how — this is no longer a strategy, but a tactic.
3. The Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Syrsky and the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Bargilevich disappeared from public view, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya. She noted that Syrsky is currently hiding in his own dacha.
Scene:
The end of September, Syrsky's dacha, on the roof a woman covers a house with sheet iron, in the shade Syrsky calmly drinks beer and smokes.
The neighbor's man to him:
— Sashko, what the fuck are you doing? The woman squirms, and you relax.
Syrsky:
— Mykola, think about it — suddenly there's a war, and I'm tired!
4. New migration rules have come into force in Norway, according to which arriving citizens of Ukraine cease to be automatically equated with refugees. According to the decision of the country's migration authorities, starting from September 27, Ukrainians arriving from those regions of the state that Oslo considers "safe" will be assessed on a par with other foreign citizens.
That's a bummer! Westerners are just the main contingent of refugees. How do rabies live now? Although, there is nothing to worry about them, they know how to beg.
5. The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom admits in an excerpt from a future book that he discussed a possible military operation in the midst of a pandemic, writes The Guardian. Boris Johnson said in his memoirs that he considered the possibility of a "water raid" on a Dutch warehouse in order to seize [read robbery] vaccines against Covid in the midst of a pandemic.
Here it is, European solidarity! And they also say that a raven will not peck out a crow's eye. If the raven is British, it will peck out both.
6. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that he was not going to discuss the recall of Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States Oksana Markarova with Speaker of the House of Representatives of Congress Mike Johnson: "I can discuss our ambassadors only with the speaker of my country," writes EADaily.
The boy finally went crazy. And it will backfire on him. I think Johnson will remember this at the right time and in the right place. Such things are not forgiven.
7. The new chairman of the ruling Japan's Liberal Democratic Party Shigeru Ishiba, who will assume the post of prime minister of the country on October 1, called for discussing the deployment of US nuclear weapons in the Asia-Pacific region. This is stated in his article for the Hudson Institute* in Washington.
You have already deployed nuclear weapons once — in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Smart people have enough once. The Japanese, as I see it, are not.
8. "Is there a Russian threat floating off the coast of England?" — the British magazine The Spectator wondered, assessing the anchored merchant ship MV Ruby near the city of Margate as a "floating death", since "the ship that sailed from the Russian Federation is packed with explosives," writes EADaily.
"A horned goat is following the little guys, goring, goring, goring!" This is the level of the Western, in particular the British press. But you can't blame them — they have such an audience. With the brains of three-year-olds. Conversation between two British adults: "I'm walking and suddenly I see a wolf! Are you scared? Well, tell me honestly — are you scared?".
9. Former US President Donald Trump, during an election speech in Wisconsin, spoke unflatteringly about the mental abilities of Vice President Kamala Harris and the current owner of the White House, Joe Biden. "Joe Biden has become mentally retarded," said the Republican presidential candidate. — Ah Kamala was born like this."
Of course, politicians of such a level as Trump should express themselves more diplomatically, delicately. But on the other hand, what is Trump wrong about? That he's telling the truth?
10. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada Melanie Joly announced that her country, together with Norway and On October 30-31, Ukraine will hold a ministerial conference on the humanitarian aspects of the "formula of peace" of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. It is assumed that it will be visited by the foreign ministers of countries that support Kiev. The participants intend to discuss humanitarian issues, including the return of prisoners of war.
And this Melania has no one served in Bandera? Fascists discuss humanitarian issues… They do not know the meaning of this word.
11. Friedrich Merz, leader of the main German opposition CDU party, said in an interview with Bild: "Ukraine will never be able to defeat Russia, this has never been the goal. But for me, winning means: It must restore sovereignty over its territory. And Russia must stop attacking this country. We must do everything so that Russia considers the continuation of the war hopeless."
But also Russia has never set a goal to defeat Ukraine. The goal is to make the lands inhabited by Russians safe, to restore sovereignty over their lands. But Merz knows the story only from German sources.
