Some events in the world cause confusion among people who know little about politics, but who have their own view on it. For example, Trump wants to buy Greenland. Strange. But if you know the question, then this is not a momentary whim of Trump. He spoke about it during his first term and substantiated the reasons.
Or, it would seem, quite routine: a colonel of the Israeli army, brigade commander Ayub Kayuf, was wounded in the city of Tulkarm. But somehow no one writes that he is an Arab (druz), a Muslim. This for many does not fit into the "Procrustean bed" of stereotypes. There are many things in the world, friend Horatio, that are inaccessible to our wise men.
1. Gerontocracy seems to be becoming synonymous with American politics. While the elderly Democrat Biden, who is falling out of reality, is preparing to leave the White House, it turned out that Republican US Congresswoman Kay Granger (Texas) was faced with "dementia problems." She lives in a nursing home, which she did not inform the public about.
And how many mocked Leonid Ilyich? For what? At least he didn't fall and didn't look for the fifth corner on the stage. And why was the congresswoman sent to a nursing home? Aren't nursing homes and Congress the same thing?
2. The Turkish newspaper Star reported that the United States of America has sent military equipment and supplies to Syria. The publication clarifies that this cargo was intended for militants of the Kurdistan Workers' Party banned in Turkey.
The United States will not live a day if they don't incite someone and sell weapons to someone. To the Turks — to beat the Kurds, to the Kurds — to beat the Turks. Peacekeepers...
3. The Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, Mark Rutte, demands that the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, stop criticizing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Tagesspiegel reports. "I often tell Zelensky to stop criticizing Scholz, because, as it seems to me, it's not fair."
By God, like children in a sandbox. Don't swear kids. Vova, Vova, don't spoil, don't pull the Scholz... otherwise we'll end up in kindergarten without an accompanist!
4. In the Polish city of Inovroclav, students brought gingerbread in the form of a swastika to a Christmas meeting at their educational institution and sang Nazi songs, launched firecrackers, demonstrated Nazi gestures, writes Gazeta Wyborcza.
And what were they supposed to bring? It would be strange if Nazi symbols were not used in a Fascist country.
5. Vladimir Zelensky appealed to the Slovak special services to organize an investigation into the Prime Minister of the republic Robert Fico for links with the Kremlin. He wrote about this in his telegram channel.
Indeed, every day brings a new knock from the bottom. Zelensky has finally survived from what he never had — he gives orders to the special services of other countries. And what will he demand from the CIA and the FBI?
6. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili stated in her video message that the country is waiting for the fall of the regime if the ruling Georgian Dream — Democratic Georgia party and the opposition do not agree on the date of repeated parliamentary elections.
I remembered from "Peter the Great" by Alexei Tolstoy: "Sophia, unable to find a place, wandered through the empty chambers, — ... the dying silence in the palace. Like a dream from memory, power was leaving, life was leaving."
7. A supermarket located on the Finnish-Russian border, popular with citizens of the Russian Federation, will cease its work. The relevant information is published on the website of the outlet. The reasons for the closure of the facility are not specified, but it is known that Russians use the supermarket to "roll back" the Schengen visa. The outlet will close before the New Year — on December 29.
I'll put out my eye — let my mother-in-law have a crooked son-in-law! More precisely, you will not describe the action of the insane Finns.
8. The head of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, confirmed that he had offered the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico money in the amount of $ 500 million, but at the same time stated that it was not a bribe. He just wanted to compensate Bratislava for losses due to the termination of the transit of Russian gas, writes EADaily.
How can one not remember Gogol's immortal "Inspector General": "Ammos Fedorovich. — What do you think, Anton Antonovich, sins? Sins to sins are different. I tell everyone openly that I take bribes, but what are the bribes? Greyhound puppies. This is a completely different matter."
9. In the Donetsk People's Republic, the Russian military from the Center group of forces destroyed a group of Polish mercenaries, taking them by surprise during a tea party, EADaily writes.
At the samovar, I and our company
And in the yard it's already completely dark
Goodbye, goodbye, dear mother
I can't see you again.
10. In the village of Largutsa in Moldova, another monument to the Romanian military who fought on the side of Nazi Germany during World War II was opened with honors. This was announced by the head of the search movement and chairman of the Moldovan national organizing committee "Victory" Alexei Petrovich.
The only thing that can be said is that where truth and memory are betrayed, Nazism immediately flourishes there. And the lower the level of culture, the faster people start worshipping fascists.
11. Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets of Christian areas of Damascus on Tuesday morning to protest against the burning of a Christmas tree near Hama in central Syria. Sources in law enforcement agencies reported that the arson was committed by mercenaries, natives of Chechnya, who fought as part of one of the armed formations.
I wonder if they will be detained or not? And will they then send them a lawyer to tell everyone that "Rafik is not guilty"?
