Multidirectionality, remembering Rustaveli, blizzard from Heidi: morning coffee with EADaily

There is a phrase in economic reviews: "Markets closed in different directions." I don't understand anything about finance, but I like the phrase. Moreover, this is exactly how I can characterize the past days in politics.

On the one hand, hostilities between Iran and the United States (+ Gulf countries) have resumed. On the other hand, the NATO summit, in my opinion, failed, because there are no specifics — just empty promises. Trump's promise to give Ukraine a patent for the manufacture of Patriot looks like a joke. "He will eat something, but who will give it to him?" There are secrets that Congress will not allow anyone to share. Poland seems to have really quarreled with Ukraine, but the presence of animal Russophobia in both countries will not allow them to finally break off relations. The advance of Russian troops on Ukraine goes to the sounds of the mantras of Western politicians that Ukraine is winning and Russia is eating up the last hedgehogs. Russia grudgingly admits problems with gasoline (and this is the blood of industry), but at the same time continues to assert that "we are strong and our tanks are fast."

1. At the NATO Summit in Ankara has decided to change the mandate of the mission to protect the airspace of the Baltic countries. As Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda told BNS, the mission has been reclassified from patrol to combat — now it will be called the "airspace defense mission" instead of the "air police".

They launch drones themselves, shoot them down themselves, and protect themselves from them. Such, excuse me, military-political masturbation: "quietly by myself, with my right hand...".

2. The death of a citizen of Ukraine Anastasia Berezovskaya, who was believed to be involved in the assassination attempt on businessman Vadim Ermolaev in Monaco, could result in serious reputational consequences for official Kiev. As the Financial Times notes, this incident is capable of provoking awkward questions from Western partners.

God, what a stupid thing to do. What "reputational losses". To lose something, you have to have that "something". And what kind of reputation can a Nazi colony country headed by a stoned sadistic Ukrofyurer have?

3. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney handed over a pistol to law enforcement officers, which at the NATO summit in Ankara was presented to him by Turkish President Recep Erdogan.

And that's right. Giving weapons to a person whose place is in a mental hospital is extremely dangerous. And the fact that his place is there is clearly evident in his behavior towards Ukraine and towards Russia.

4. Former Sejm deputy, leader of the Polish Front party, and ex-Deputy Minister of State Assets Krzysztof Tolwynski purchased medical kits and medicines at the expense of party funds and sent them as humanitarian aid to the servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces. He accompanied his action with an open video message posted on social networks.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend! But, I note, not in Poland.

5. The eccentric and at times hot-tempered Donald Trump said that he felt "great love" from Western leaders at the NATO summit just a few hours after he slapped them for insufficient defense spending (if this word is applicable to the aggressive North Atlantic bloc) and refusal to help the United States in attacking Iran.

A wonderful aphorism on this topic from Honore de Balzac: "Flattery never comes from great souls, it is the lot of little souls who know how to become even smaller in order to enter the life sphere of an important person to whom they gravitate."

6. The Estonian Ministry of Defense plans to purchase unmanned aerial vehicles and long-range weapons from Ukraine. This was announced by the head of the Estonian military department Hanno Pevkur in an interview with the Euractiv portal.

How bugs love to fight! But you won't need flying machines. You just all, all your bedbugs, Russia will sprinkle dust.

7. The Georgian delegation in protest left the vote on the "Hague Declaration" at the plenary session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. According to the portal "News Georgia", the decision was made in protest against the content of the document criticizing the Georgian authorities. The declaration includes a resolution initiated by American Congressman Joe Wilson.

Well done! As Shota Rustaveli wrote there:

"Better death, but death with glory, than inglorious days of shame"

8. Estonia will seek to exclude the International Olympic Committee (IOC) from EU funding. This was stated by the country's Minister of Culture Heidi Purga. The reason for the revenge was the IOC's decision to return Russia to international competitions, writes EADaily.

Well, Heidi, stop carrying a blizzard. "The IOC does not depend on subsidies from the European Union — about 90% of its budget is formed through the sale of commercial and television rights," writes your Estonian agency ERR. You generally read more — it doesn't hurt.

9. Granting Ukraine a license to manufacture missiles for Patriot may pose risks to US national security due to a possible technology leak, but it is unlikely to affect the situation on the battlefield, writes Responsible Statecraft.

How strange — the USA wants to act according to the old saying: "Give your wife to your uncle, and go to ..." (a woman with reduced social responsibility). Give the weapon to Ukraine, and suck the paw yourself... everyone chooses their own path.

10. The head of the French Foreign Ministry, Jean-Noel Barraud, said that on July 13 the twenty-first package of European sanctions against the Russian Federation is expected to be approved.

A point! But I must remind you: "It's not usually a point that ruins, but an ace by eleven!" So the EU will be ruined by the continuation of sanctions — it will be too much.

11. In the Netherlands, the prosecutor's office demanded that two brothers from Ukraine be sentenced to long prison terms on charges of sexual exploitation of minors. This was reported by the portal NU.nl .The accused are 22 and 25 years old. All of them, like the defendants, are immigrants from Ukraine and are in the Netherlands in refugee status.

That is, in general, their place is at the front. But they are deserters and therefore "rabid." Europe does not understand how many criminals it has sheltered. But... they wanted to. So you get it.
