МИД РФ усомнился в адекватности министра обороны Украины

1 Share
Пресс-служба МИД России опубликовала официальный комментарий российского внешнеполитического ведомства в связи с высказыванием министра обороны Украины Валерия Гелетея о том, что российские власти, введя войска на украинскую территорию, начали войну.
Авторы комментария считают, что степень компетентности Гелетея является предметом исследования специалистов не в военной области, и называют "шокирующим" призыв украинского министра готовиться к очередным десяткам тысяч жертв в военных действиях, называемым им «Великой отечественной войной». По мнению российских дипломатов, тем самым Гелетей втягивает украинский народ в продолжение кровопролитного гражданского противостояния, "прикрывая свое желание усидеть в занимаемом кресле любой ценой".
1 сентября министр обороны Украины Валерий Гелетей написал на своей странице в Facebook: «Наши Вооруженные Силы уверенно теснили банды российских наемников, уничтожали диверсантов и спецназовцев. Именно поэтому Кремль вынужден был перейти к полномасштабному вторжению своих регулярных войск на территорию Донбасса. Сегодня мы уже имеем дело с дивизиями и полками». По словам Гелетея, такой войны Европа не видела со времен Второй мировой, потери будут исчисляться не сотнями, а тысячами, даже десятками тысяч.

Roman Catholics and much of the world have been closely watching for evidence that Pope Francis has the wherewithal to buck the resistance to reform from the Vatican’s powerful bureaucracy.
An encouraging sign emerged last week with the announcement that the Vatican’s former ambassador to the Dominican Republic had been stripped of diplomatic immunity and could be tried there for his alleged soliciting of underage boys for sexual acts. The announcement reversed a devious and secret stratagem engineered by unidentified Vatican officials last year to recall the ambassador, Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, before Dominican authorities could bring criminal charges of child abuse against him.
The Vatican’s use of immunity to shield the prelate from criminal prosecution outside the Vatican set off a furor, particularly in light of Pope Francis’s promise that in the pedophilia scandal “there are no privileges” for priests or prelates. That diplomatic immunity was suddenly reversed after an article in The Times by Laurie Goodstein detailing numerous cases of the archbishop’s alleged preying on impoverished Dominican shoeshine boys and others who said they were paid for sex. There are suggestions Pope Francis might have had a hand in the reversal; he previously stressed to a colleague that the Wesolowski case felt like “a dagger” in his heart.
The Vatican denied it had attempted a cover-up in recalling the archbishop, pointing out that he was later defrocked after church officials concluded he was indeed guilty of abusing children. Defrocking is hardly adequate punishment for criminal acts, however, and the Vatican maintains the former archbishop might still face criminal charges under its own laws. There are understandable concerns that this could be used to shield him from full justice in the places where he allegedly abused children. However it ends, the case will be followed as an indicator of Pope Francis’s commitment to true church reform.

A top Buckingham Palace official appeared court today accused of receiving more than £100,000 in bribes in return for awarding contracts for work at royal palaces.
Ron Harper, 62, was deputy property manager at the Royal Household from 1994 until his suspension in 2012. 
It is alleged that between 2006 and 2011, company directors bribed Harper in return for him awarding them large contracts for work at the palaces.

The maintenance work at Buckingham Palace, St James's Palace and Kensington Palace, was funded by the Civil List, now called the Sovereign Grant, and came straight out of taxpayer's pockets. 
Harper, who was made a Member of the Royal Victorian Order by the Queen in 2004, appeared at Southwark Crown Court with eight other men and one woman, who are yet to enter pleas.
Harper, from Sudbury, Suffolk, is charged with four counts of conspiracy to give and receive corrupt payments.
Steven Thompson, 60, of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, and Bernard Gackowski, 61, of Keyworth, Nottinghamshire, former directors of Melton Power Services, are both charged with one count of conspiracy to give and receive corrupt payments and one count of conspiracy to commit fraud by abuse of position.

Putin Threatens Nuclear War Over Ukraine

1 Share
Lars von Trier, the terribly talented Danish provocateur, is quite a character. The filmmaker behind awe-inspiring films like Breaking the WavesDancer in the Dark, and Melancholia—to name a few—had, three years back, taken a vow of public silence after he was ripped to shreds in the press, and even questioned by Danish police, for remarks he made at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. There, von Trier, in a failed attempt at stand-up comedy, said, “I understand Hitler, but I think he did some wrong things, yes absolutely, but I can see him sitting in his bunker… I think I understand the man. He’s not what you would call a good guy, but I understand much about him and I sympathize with him.” Later, he declared jokingly, “I am a Nazi.”
The Cannes Film Festival declared him “persona non grata,” effectively banning von Trier from the Côte d'Azur fest, and von Trier later issued a statement saying he wasn’t anti-Semitic or a Nazi. Later, he said he’d “decided from this day forth to refrain from all public statements and interviews.”
On Monday afternoon at the 2014 Venice Film Festival, von Trier (sort of) broke his silence. The occasion was a press conference where his collaborators—star Stellan Skarsgard, story supervisors Jenle Hallund and Vinca Wiedemann, and longtime producer Louise Vesth—discussed the uncut, five-and-a-half hour version of Nymphomaniac.
"Have I learned anything about women? No. I know everything about women."
Nymphomaniac, which was released in two parts (or “volumes”) stateside, is a psychosexual odyssey centering on Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), a self-described nymphomaniac who’s discovered beaten to within an inch of her life by Seligman (Skarsgard). He takes her in, and Joe tells him her story, flashing back to her sexual awakening, dozens of sexual conquests—three-ways, BDSM, you name it—and the one man, Jerome (Shia LaBeouf), who won her heart.
It wasn’t like most press conferences. You see, von Trier still won’t speak directly to the press. So, his frequent star and good pal Skarsgard was given three “lifelines”—or questions he could kick over to von Trier, who was broadcast in via iPad. Skarsgard would then phone von Trier up, the two would chat in Danish, and Skarsgard would regurgitate the filmmaker’s answers.
But first, Skarsgard discussed how he came onboard Nymphomaniac. “[Von Trier] called me a year before we started and said, ‘Stellan, my next film will be a porno film and I’d like you to play the male lead… but you will not get to fuck. But you will show your dick at the end, and it will be very floppy.’ Who can resist that invitation?”
The Swedish actor also addressed claims that von Trier was a misogynist because of the pains he inflicts on his female characters on film. According to Skarsgard, these critics are missing the point. “Some reviews have not quite understood it and think that Lars is a misogynist and that he doesn’t like women, but he’s a director that writes the best roles for women in the world, and he really likes them. I can vouch for that. There have been some misunderstandings.”
Now, for Mr. von Trier. The first question kicked over to him was what it’s like to work with Skarsgard, to which Skarsgard relayed, “Lars says it’s not really working together. Throughout the years, he’s been breaking me down, and he says that I function very well now.”
The second “lifeline” was what von Trier had learned about female sexuality by makingNymphomaniac. Skarsgard cheekily said, “I know a little bit about female sexuality, but it’s still a mystery. On the other hand, my own sexuality is a mystery.” Then, he phoned his buddy von Trier, who just repeatedly sighed for about twenty seconds—Skarsgard apologized on behalf of von Trier—before the following message was passed on: “He says, ‘Have I learned anything about women? No. I know everything about women.”
The third and final “lifeline” asked whether von Trier related to his female protagonists as well as his male ones. “Everything that is masochistic in the film is me,” said von Trier (via Skarsgard). “The women, to a certain extent, is some of [von Trier], but every time something masochistic is shown, it’s [von Trier].”
After the whole “lifeline” shtick was up, von Trier disappeared from iPad view, and Skarsgard was asked about the filmmaker’s reputation for being “difficult” to work with—an assertion that he swiftly denied.
“It all comes from the difficulties of working with Bjork on Dancer in the Dark,” said Skarsgard. “But that was two control freaks, and you should never have two control freaks on a film set. They both wanted to make their film, and that doesn’t work. But other than that, he’s the sweetest, loveliest man to work with.”
Things wrapped up with a vague—albeit intriguing—announcement by Louise Vesth, von Trier’s producer.
“I’m happy to announce that the next Lars von Trier project will be a TV series in the English language,” she said. “He has a really, really good idea which I cannot tell more about right now. He wants a huge cast, and from what I heard, it will be something you’ve never seen before, and you definitely will never see again.”

Киев собрался строить «с нуля» стратегическую разведку

1 Share
Участники совещания у премьер-министра Украины Арсения Яценюка пришли к выводу, что стране необходимо «с нуля» строить стратегическую военную, а также тактическую и внешнюю разведку, сообщил советник министра внутренних дел Арсена Авакова Антон Геращенко. «Только что закончилось совещание премьер- министра Арсения Яценюка и министра внутренних дел Арсена Авакова с командирами добровольческих батальонов, вышедшими из окружения под Иловайском с оружием в руках - батальоном «Миротворец» - Андреем Тетеруком, «Днепр-1» - Юрием Березой и раненным в боях за Иловайск комбатом «Донбасса» - Семеном Семенченко», - написал Геращенко в FacebookПо его словам, выводов было сделано несколько. Во-первых, «бойцы хотят верить, что генералы, которые принимают решения наступать, думают о том, где будут резервы и как отступать в случае возникновения угрозы окружения». Во-вторых, по словам Геращенко, «нам нужно строить стратегическую военную и внешнюю разведку с нуля». «Не должно быть так, что русские войска начали наступать утром 24 августа, а наши командиры узнавали о наступлении русских из постов Юрия Бутусова в Фейсбук», - пояснил он. Также, по словам Геращенко, и тактическую разведку Украине нужно строить с нуля, чтобы не было такого, что «беспилотники русских летают над нашими бойцами днем и ночью, корректирую точную наводку артиллерии и «Градов», а наши артиллеристы слепы». В-четвертых, Геращенко призвал все общество объединиться вокруг президента Украины Петра Порошенко, главы Верховной Рады Александра Турчинова и премьер-министра Арсения Яценюка. Советник Авакова дал понять, что опубликовал в Facebook не все, но добавил: «Скажу одно - все командиры готовы доукомплектовывать и довооружать свои батальоны и снова идти в бой». Добавим, что ранее в понедельник министр обороны Украины Валерий Гелетей также написал в Facebook большой пост о положении дел у украинских силовиков. По его словам, «Россия проиграла гибридную войну Украине», после чего якобы приняла решение «перейти к полномасштабному вторжению своих регулярных войск на территорию Донбасса» и даже «по неофициальным каналам угрожала применить тактическое ядерное оружие». Напомним, с 24 августа силы ополчения Новороссии нанесли удар по киевским формированиям, находившимся к югу и к юго-востоку от Донецка. Несколько украинских группировок общей численностью до 7 тыс. человек попали в окружение, южный фронт практически рухнул, и ополченцы вышли к побережью Азовского моря. Киевские власти объясняли разгром украинской армии «масштабным российским вторжением». 28 августа Порошенко объявил на весь мир, что в пределы Украины вступила российская армия, при этом руководство Украины не разорвало с РФ дипломатических отношений и не объявило войну. Убедительных доказательств присутствия российских воинских частей в зоне конфликта, о котором еще с весны заявляют в Киеве, до сих пор не представлено. Газета ВЗГЛЯД перечисляла признаки, по которым легко можно определить присутствие войск другого государства, но ни один из них в Новороссии не наблюдается.
