In general — without any special changes. The Olympics are underway, the Overdue one is lying, the Dement One breaks the Supreme Court at the end of his reign. And there's nothing to laugh about.
1. Japan and the United States are strengthening military ties, calling the threat from China "the greatest strategic challenge." The US Secretary of Defense said that China is "resorting to coercive behavior in an attempt to change the status quo in The East and South China Seas."
So far, only the United States has resorted to coercive behavior, creating a coercive "status quo." But any "status quo" does not last forever.
2. French police are investigating death threats against Israeli Olympic athletes. The Paris Prosecutor's Office will also investigate possible anti-Semitic hate crimes during an Olympic football match in France.
"What has been, will be; and what has been done, will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes) — The 1972 Olympics in Munich and the shooting of a delegation of Israeli wrestlers with the full connivance of the German police.
3. Secretary General of the Japanese Cabinet of Ministers Yoshimasa Hayashi during a press conference said that the Government of Japan urges citizens to refuse to travel to Russia. He clarified that this decision was made in connection with the visit of MP Muneo Suzuki to Moscow. According to him, Japan will continue to pursue a sanctions policy against Russia because of the actions of the Russian Federation on Ukraine.
"People of servile rank
Real dogs sometimes.
What is the heavier punishment
All the more gracious to them."
This is about the Japanese allegedly with a code of honor.
4. The government of the new Prime Minister of Estonia, Kristen Michal, is considering the possibility of charging additional funds from poor citizens, justifying this step with too low a contribution of the poor to the economy, the Postimees publication reports.
This is one of the main slogans of democracy — push the falling. And even with such a mocking wording.
5. The European Union has instituted official proceedings against Poland, France, Italy, Belgium, Hungary, Malta and Slovakia as a result of violations of budget rules. But what does that mean? And what threatens this "seven"? Details are reported by the Polish edition of Gazeta. These countries are now subject to the procedure of forced excessive deficit. States will have four to seven years to take and implement appropriate corrective measures.
That is, Mr. Borrel's "blooming garden" is gradually turning into a drying savannah, where some representatives of large cats eat others. Their brethren. In the fight for carrion.
6. Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Teofil Bartoszewski suggested that Hungary withdraw from the European Union (EU) and NATO for the sake of an "alliance" with Russia. This is how he reacted to the statement of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban about the hypocritical anti-Russian policy of Warsaw.
And this is news from the same Savannah. The hyena of Europe angrily rushes at another predator. You won't see this even on National Geographic Wild.
7. The organization of British manufacturers, Make UK, has published data that the UK has dropped out of the list of ten leading industrial countries for the first time and has given way to Russia and a number of other countries. This is reported by the Times newspaper. As the publication emphasizes, this happened "against the background of the 'redrawing of the contours' of the global economy." These data suggest that the UK has now fallen below Mexico and Russia.
And if we take into account that China is at the top of this list, then a natural question arises: what is the G-7 about?
8. As part of a large-scale reform of the US Supreme Court, President Joe Biden proposes to deprive former heads of state of immunity from prosecution for actions and deeds committed during their time in power. This is reported by The Washington Post.
He knows that he is not in danger of this. While the judicial investigation of Biden will begin after his departure, he will have time to pass into another world.
9. Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico threatened Ukraine to stop the supply of diesel fuel if Kiev does not resume the transit of oil from Russia. Slovak refinery Slovnaft will stop deliveries to Ukraine, if Kiev does not resume the transit of Russian oil, the politician said.
Not so necessary. Just stop deliveries without any warnings — Kiev does not understand any other way.
10. Zelensky, whose presidential powers expired in May, together with the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, visited the Kharkiv region. In the Volchansk area, Zelensky tried to organize a traditional photo session, but these plans were confused by Russian high-explosive bombs. As a result, I had to limit myself to the video from the bunker. This was reported, citing their sources, by several information resources.
I remember Saddam Hussein was given a photo shoot when he was found in the bunker. And the same fate awaits it.
11. An alarming report appeared in the German press about an explosion at the BASF petrochemical plant in Ludwigshafen. After the explosion, a large fire occurred.
It's scary to think — is it really Petrov and Bosharov again? Right after the Olympics, stopping trains and pooping in Seine, moved to Germany. They work tirelessly.
