Владимир Путин в режиме видеоконференции дал команду на вывод на проектную мощность химического завода АО «Аммоний». С президентом Татарстана Рустамом Миннихановым.


Владимир Путин в режиме видеоконференции дал команду на вывод на проектную мощность химического завода АО «Аммоний». С президентом Татарстана Рустамом Миннихановым. 


Khan, Mini-khan and a lot of "ammonia"


Vladimir Putin... gave the command to output... the... "Ammonium"... 

The description is abbreviated for clarity, due to the absence of the official translation version on the presidential site. Apparently this valuable product is not for export but to satisfy the high domestic demand and consumption.

Nice job! Does it smell like COLOGNE, too? Is some hidden "mess-idge" there? Or is he just major-ly pissed off due to being out of the European limelight? Putinologists, apply your interpretational skills! As the Russian commentators determined, he is "нерукопожатный". А "что-пожатный"? - That's the question! 

Western politicians do not want to shake his hand and they do not want to deal with the mad Russian Tsar. I told you so! 
That's all right: Piss, Vovchick-khan, piss! Enjoy! This is the only thing that is left for you to do... Until the next stage. 

M.N.

"Now it is necessary to find compromises, not compare ambitions. To reestablish trust and return to joint initiatives that have been frozen. To join forces in the fight against international terrorism, which is spreading in the world like plague," Medvedev said.

The return of the healthy Russian voice (through nostalgia and pain of the lost and tragic years of 2012 - 2015), and hopefully the return of the healthy Russian political thinking and attitude:   


Dmitry Medvedev to urbi et orbi: 

Russia, EU, NATO Must Reopen Lines of Communication

  • U.S. President Barack Obama wrote: “Hackers in China and Russia are going after U.S. defense contractors.” (Wall Street Journal, 02.09.16).
  • At the start of 2015, 150 Russian Chechens were fighting in the Middle East. Their total numbers, including those that came from Europe, hovered between 1,500 and 2,000 people. By the end of 2014, 85 to 100 fighters from Kabardino-Balkaria fought for ISIS in Syria. As for Dagestan, the republic’s President Ramazan Abdulatipov stated that there are 643 Dagestani jihadists in the Middle East. Incidentally, the South Caucasus also supplies new recruits to ISIS—about 500 Azerbaijani and 400 Georgian militants. (Carnegie, 02.12.16).
  • An unidentified source in the Chechen government has claimed that there are no members of law enforcement agencies among Chechnya's fighters in Syria. The Chechens fighting in Syria consist of independent groups of young people who oppose the Islamic State, the source told the news agency. (Moscow Times, 02.09.16).
  • U.S. Congressman Dana Rohrabacher wrote: “Syria is as close to the Russian border as New York is to Chicago, and Russia will not countenance a jihadist regime in Damascus. It is only too mindful that fifteen thousand of the Islamic fighters in Syria are Chechens, who, once done there, will return to Russia for the next round of terrorist brutality.” (National Interest, 02.11.16).

The FBI made a very confusing game about preventing terrorism | The Verge:
Slippery Slope is just one of a series of interactive elements that make up the FBI's project, a well-meaning but awkwardly presented initiative that feels as down with the kids as a school security guard. Users are prompted to click through the project's pages, sifting through the buzzwords to complete quizzes, all with the aim of earning just what every teen really wants: an FBI certificate. All of this is presented in the confines of the FBI's website, the Bureau's stern masthead acting like a teacher supervising your safe, educational "fun."
