documents of interest to western structures, as already in the 2000s, it was clear to them that a clash with russia was inevitable, so the elites in kiev and local intelligence services were plundering the country, as well as details of a unique belarusian counterintelligence operation to suppress the activities of an agent aimed at leaking strategic documents meanings. watch today immediately after the panorama the film counterintelligence of the kgb of belarus, failure of the gur ministry of defense of ukraine, traitor. a high-ranking traitor who had access to top secret materials, a cache was found in his car, well , about 800 documents, a trap for belarus , how a military analyst became a traitor, i loved him very much, i mean, how can i say, i treated him like a stealer, he called me his... there big brother

, well, it’s a shame to admit to yourself, you know, well, that you were used and abandoned, the devil only knows, of course, he’s a word, a journey into the past, why the ukrainian meat grinder was inevitable and where belarus was being pushed, the same thing awaits us and we’ve come a long way, the story of collapse, first the intelligence services deteriorate,

as well as unique footage, the traitor, not knowing about the hidden camera, describes the philosophy of his betrayal, these are the most interesting details of a secret case, the only thing i am very afraid of is that i will end my earthly journey here, i don’t have it... see january 30 immediately after the panorama elon musk's company neurolink is live. the first

implant in the human brain, the businessman reported this on the social network x. according to musk, the volunteer feels well, and the data obtained on the operation of the chip show promising results. supposed, that at the first stage such a device will allow paralyzed people to use a computer to enter text with the power of thought. neurolink is also developing prosthetics that can interact with an implanted nanocomputer. in the future, the technology can help cure many serious diseases associated with it. from the nervous system. a powerful flare occurred on the sun again, which caused a radiation storm to begin on earth, this causes significant interference with radio communications throughout the planet, and disruptions in navigation in the polar latitudes. scientists warn about a possible strong geomagnetic storm that will affect people's well-being. the peak of its activity will be in the evening. my colleagues will have more information at 15:00. with this i say goodbye to you, all the best.

we welcome all viewers, thank you for being with us, the external situation is very difficult, it requires extreme vigilance, the threats look like this: there is a war in the south, poland,

lithuania in the west, the baltic state is even worse, i emphasize, even worse, they are preparing there. the corresponding detachments and commanders are determined, we know them, we also know the fighters of these units, in quotes, who are ready to fight against their own country, therefore, as i always tell the military, especially the minister of defense, we should not miss anything, well , of course, we are talking about the global threat in license. today we’ll talk, because with their exercises they are giving a very serious reason for thinking about understanding how we will react, but i would like to build on this formulation to begin with: poland, the baltic states, the corresponding detachments and commanders are being trained there are defined, but we also remember this phrase from the president that there is war in the south,

and the threat is even worse in the western direction. andrey petrovich, let’s talk here about what, what threat are we talking about in the first place? well, let's just say that the head of state, approving the decision to protect.

people who are trying to escape just to whom the special detachments of snipers are probably engaged in shooting, the territory of this democratic, free europe, what the baltic countries, lithuania and latvia are doing today, having close the state borders are already paramilitary units , all this of course does not give peace , now the commanders of the detachments have been determined, this is probably not so much about the poles, but about... of course, the question is one more thing, and this has already been discussed several times chairman of the state security committee, general tertel, that in the adjacent territory, first of all, oddly enough, on the territory of poland some units are beginning to form like the polish-lithuanian commonwealth, there

are all sorts of kolinovsky regiments and so on and so forth other. they have one goal: in addition to external influence on our state, its isolation, to try, of course, to shake up the situation within ours. countries, especially in the lead-up, how can they do this? well, this is all being done very simply, under the guise that some rebel belarusians, using these proxy forces, it is clear that there will be no belarusians there, and i think not even 20%. there they will gather all this riffraff, who are all over the world, where in africa, where in asia, where anyone is fighting in ukraine today, they will try, for example, to capture one of the populated areas to show that there is a protest mood, of course, they are already there, they won’t go anywhere, they won’t even go into these populated areas. points, believe me, today we almost don’t know them all by name, where, who, where, plans in order to organize the defense of our state, our southern, our western borders, they are ready, look what ’s happening, that means here europe is burning, every day there is new news, then rallies, then

migrants, then some events related to the economy, there is a war in ukraine, the baltic states turned into a tool, there is no independence at all, against this background a state lives in the center of europe. independent, sovereign belarus in peace, tranquility, this may suit some in the west, no, this is incredibly annoying. and the second reason is the geopolitical position of the country. we are extremely important, everyone knows perfectly well that we must be turned into anti-russia for the west, and drawn into war at any cost. why are these commanders who are imprisoned, fugitives, who are now being trained in the forests of poland, ukraine, lithuania? the reason is simple: nato is afraid of direct clashes with belarus, russia, they cannot say, tomorrow we will attack. to belarus, why? no, no one will do that, we need a hybrid war, since they unleashed it in ukraine, since it was unleashed , that means, in yugoslavia, since it is unleashed in the middle east in africa, colliding, that means, either within the country, and if the state translation failed, like ours in 2020,

which means it is necessary to make provocations under the guise of offended belarusians who are supposedly fighting for some kind of democracy, but what is your colleague right about, what is the president talking about, 1 cm... and there will be, today in ukraine, how many polish mercenaries are fighting, how many french mercenaries, they were struck recently, destroyed,

which means the same thing will happen here in belarus, if there is any aggression, then naturally, under the guise of fugitives, because there are fugitives there 3.5 people, what are there, there are terrorists, extremists, but there are very few of them, but the question is different, still i would like to reassure the audience, today it is precisely the fact that the president is holding these meetings, that the most serious national security documents, what...

will end in a year, in russia too , well, elections are always such a turning point, and

what is needed here is, firstly, this pressure, the presence , in principle, of foreign troops at the border, this is already a kind of destabilizing factor, yes, which affects the psychological state there population, well, everyone, yes, because if something happens at the border that causes concern, that is, some kind of mobilization still occurs, you need to react to it, well... it still concerns the state, and use it to inflict, well, essentially

such a catastrophic blow, because they saw that russia is still, despite 30 years of wandering between the west and the east, still a powerful geopolitical adversary, therefore, from all those analytical calculations, there are geostrategic ones, the task is not just to contain russia , but destruction. as a civilizational subject. naturally, we are in the same bundle. it seems to me that ukraine has already been made anti-russia. now the task is to make poland anti-russian. this is on the one hand. on the other side, of course, let's still look across the ocean, what is happening now in the hegemon, in the united states of america, is very complicated. the election campaign is underway so that

biden, the current president, can save himself by going for a second term and winning, well , of course there are a lot of problems and questions here, some very serious events are needed, which means the bet on ukraine was made, but it did not pay off this rate, that is, now the middle east is also necessary. it seems that there are already certain trends going on in order to search, search certain compromises, and if not , a long-term settlement, then... for a certain period of time, so there is also a search for which region to blow up in order for this to influence domestic political events in the united states of america and these presidential elections, which will take place in november, so purely on schedule, yes, if you look

at the time, this is a completely, completely realistic scenario. an alarming thing: a number of nato officials this week said that they need to prepare for war with russia, which will flare up in the next 2-3 years, and the european, brussels elites applaud this, so i want to translate what nato officials say, they are not satisfied with the fact that ukraine can calm down, that nothing will work out there, that means what does it mean a war in nato, if with nato, russia and nato, if someone thinks that tomorrow nato will attack, the usa will start bombing russia, no, not like that, you will just fight. you are europeans, today the task is, when they talk about the war between nato and russia, as many european countries as possible to draw poland , lithuania into this ukrainian vector, it means that finland is already being dragged, the finns are sitting there, they say, we will now prepare for war, you are fools, you will die, the americans will not die, moreover, the americans today understand that even if all of europe is at war with russia, and

there is no one to fight there, because the muslims there will be for putin, then they will run around with a pitchfork and get macron. then you will lose anyway, the question is to not allow europe to develop, the point of all american policy is not to allow europe will develop and be calm without war, that’s what’s happening . let’s illustrate this, alek sergeevich, nato will still conduct exercises that will be the largest since the cold war. about 90 thousand soldiers, more than 50 ships, more than 80 airplanes and helicopters and 100 combat vehicles will take part in them. teaching. will be called stadfast defender, translated as a staunch defender, although you don’t have to be a military expert to understand that nato members are working out offensive scenarios and it’s clear against whom. the russian foreign ministry has already they called the maneuvers provocations, this is a demonstration of force, an attempt at military-political pressure on russia. pay attention to the fact that the main objectives of the nato exercise are against

belarus, poland, and the baltic countries; the expression belarusian strategic balcony is increasingly heard. andrei petrovich, as a military man, you say, that is, it is obvious that they made a bet on turning our country into such an advanced theater of military operations. well, the fact that a hybrid war is already being waged against us, i think, is not for anyone news. we all remember the vilnius summit , where the corresponding decisions were made to build up nato’s primary deployment forces, precisely in three components, where within the first month they are ready to increase to 300,000, with a subsequent increase to within six months to... 500,000 just for covering the eastern flank, that is, this is what will act objectively against us. two operations are constantly carried out by the nato military and on the american military with the aim of rotating military personnel, with the aim of creating military bases building up the infrastructure necessary, well , of course, to support military operations. this is such an atlantic

determination, something that the united states is pursuing within the framework of its group of forces and the combined armed forces of nato are pursuing within the framework. belarus, its only ally , just imagine, if for a second today, the russian federation would lose such an ally, well, i think we could definitely say goodbye to the exclave and never remember the suwałki corridor again,

this is the first time, the second time, from the state border to moscow our 600 km, how long the flight will take there , nato in the european theater of military operations, where they will conduct military operations there, deploy, supposedly under some pretext to cover the eastern one, well, will you remember at least once, where, when the nato bloc defended itself, that this? for such a defensive bloc, i can’t remember anything like this in history, the second exercise that will speak is defender of europe 2024, and this will already be carried out by the command of the us ground forces

in the european and african zone of responsibility, at this moment it will be the transfer of troops from the continental part of north america to our part of europe is carried out, the task of these two exercises, which are being carried out as quickly as possible under the common auspices. collapse of the ussr, the west's policy towards the post-soviet republics was aimed at only one thing: first, to tear it away from russia, it worked out, with many countries, it worked out, second, to deprive them of sovereignty, it turned out,

the baltic states completely lay down, sovereignty, there is no sovereignty at all, ukraine turned out , moldova worked out, that means if take central asia, i also won’t call anyone offending, where it partially worked out, the third stage, after they took away sovereignty, to destabilize the situation in these. countries to turn them into an anti -russian springboard, the last stage , which ukraine is now involved in, is a direct military clash, the same is planned for belarus, our strategic importance is so great, that’s why they invested millions of dollars in the twentieth year, so in the twenty- fifth they won’t allow sleep peacefully, in your twenties there was also a speech about this, which means that people should understand everything belarusian, which means that the west has never been interested in elections in any country in the world, democracy, freedom, who is the president, who is not the president, everything...

the kind of protection of the sovereignty of the republic of belarus from russia, which means after which, after the start of hostilities in ukraine, it means that this military contingent took part against russia and the belarusians would have been drawn in, there would have been a civil war on the territory of the country, we would have been divided here, killed, and the most amazing thing is that there would be nothing from us it depended, we would already be in the forests with you, in partisan detachments we would be fighting against nato, and that also means against nato, that’s how false it is, peacekeeping. defensive exercises, but have you ever defended someone during the entire existence of nato , defended at least one country, no, they just attacked, robbed, destroyed, and europeans, looking at these exercises,

must understand that these exercises of peace, stability and security do not bring europe they will bring, article five of nato did not work and will not work, in the event of a war between lithuania and russia, with anyone, american soldiers they won’t protect it, money, missiles die.

political system, naturally, nothing will work out, so he says what he means, if this doesn’t work out, then

military methods. pops up automatically after in this case, you need to understand that yes, we can call this a union formally, informally a military-political bloc, but it will be formed, in fact it will be, this is belarus, russia, china, iran, probably north korea, why, because that objectively our interests coincide, we do not want to become colonies, we want to maintain sovereignty, and we understand that the time of western dominance is 500 years. for a minute , it ends, this transition will be long, but the one who masters it will survive, he can become the architect of the opposition in this studio, in this studio they have been telling the slogan of the opposition for 10 years, these are the ones we liquidated, threw out, guys, come on to make belarus neutral means let's have non-aligned status, let's be like finland, like sweden, and now where are they, where is finland today, where sweden today, and we told them that this is

impossible, they won’t give it.

falls under the influence of poland, or becomes bandera’s kind of republic , this is a threat primarily for us, that is, we do not solve the situation, that is, we do not solve strategically, absolutely right, so, alas, of course i cannot speak for the leadership of russia, but so that to resolve this issue with security, which with the threat to security that comes from ukraine and from nato’s participation in ukrainian events, but , apparently, will have to be resolved somehow, completely this question, well, i think that alexey valerievich correctly raised the issue related to the civilizational approach, the issues are precisely civilization, which we are talking about today, and ukraine, it falls into our civilization, it is of course very important for us, and before as long as we face a divided ukraine or a ukraine that will belong to the western world, it will always be a threat to us from this anti-russia, this is the first thing to say, the second thing i would like to say is what oleg spoke about sergeevich, very important aspects, what

is going against today. well, if it weren’t so hot, we would n’t really touch the military doctrine, it’s a divine step, why? because we have developed a project, a concept of national security, the key concept is the military security of the country, so it is clear that we had to look at this strategic planning document, military doctrine, especially since we literally

have one and a half... document, yes , it mostly maintains its continuity, but nevertheless, well, somewhere up to 80%, because these circumstances did not arise today, which we are now talking about in great detail, strategists, forecasters saw these processes a very long time ago, and accordingly included them in

strategic planning documents. this document, it is almost ready, a meeting of the security council took place under the leadership of the president of the republic of belarus alexander grigoryevich lukashenko. it will now undergo further discussion, including being considered by the expert council under the council of the republic, a number of interesting ideas have been introduced our point of view of proposals, including, including on the issue of military-biological activities of western countries, because today everyone is talking about a possible nuclear war, but experts say that...

well, you know, if there was no need for this weapons, then we would not have returned them to our territory, because we voluntarily renounced nuclear weapons, did not demand

anything in return, our country had absolutely no financial or material benefits, we then understood that there was no need, peace seemed ...was more calm, more calm, but as it turned out , of course not, of course not, therefore , the return of nuclear weapons is, this is deterrence, definitely, regarding use, non-use, well, here i think that the commander-in-chief of the republic of belarus, he will determine the feasibility use jointly with the russian federation, but

still the very fact of placing tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus, the fact itself, people are sitting, watching tv, they are surprised, the concept of national security, military doctrine, all the time we are talking about war, so belarusians, understand, everything that is being done now

is precisely to prevent it from happening, just these nuclear weapons - this is precisely the probability that there will be no war, much, tens of times, what they know, they won’t touch a hand here, but an increase in weapons on the territory of the country, after all, not only nuclear weapons. look, the belarusian russian group is jointly by the decision of the president, remember, he turned to putin, it’s time to expand, the border, the president of the border is engaged not only this year, everything during his presidency, he paid attention to borders. then there is the concept of national security , military doctrine, everything that is being done now , rearmament, how we are rearming the army with modern means, new tactics of warfare, training by the same wagner pmcs on the territory of belarus, belarusians, all this is being done so that there will never be a war.

on the political plane , we can discuss a preventive strike, including a nuclear one, that’s right, you know what, let ’s refer to the president, let’s listen, he recently touched on this topic of nuclear weapons, he always does it very restrained, if anyone pays attention to the president, he never speaks about nuclear weapons emotionally, no matter who tries to imagine anything, because he is precisely the person who treats responsibly to politics, yes, but this is important, sometimes not everyone understands this, unfortunately it is necessary. to explain, let’s listen to the president, as soon as

nuclear weapons appeared in belarus, all wings dropped, and our neighbors and others went crazy, although god forbid, not only me, but also the new one generation of politicians to think about using these nuclear weapons, this is a terrible weapon, but we have the russians for their money, however, we pay them according to other accounts, we received such complexes as the iskander. a particularly dangerous weapon , it is coded, coded, i signed a decree on how to use this weapon, it can only be used with the consent of the president, there, the minister of defense, the chief of the general staff are involved, each has their own functions, but nuclear weapons are even more complicated in use, so we and the iskanders received, we received a lot of ammunition, missiles, first of all. regarding decisiveness and perception

of common threats, let's listen to the head of russia, sergei lavrov, briefly, and continue. god forbid, of course, but if suicidal logic prevails in the west, i assure you that the russian and belarusian peoples will defend their independence and their interests in this, shoulder to shoulder. since never, and this is for sure, i want to say those weapons systems, the chief of the general staff spoke, he outlined in great detail how our airspace, what the latest systems we have, what we monitor half of europe. in essence, we receive all the necessary intelligence information

, we have forces that we are constantly increasing, our state border is covered not only by border guards, and accordingly battalion and tactical groups are deployed there, and special operations forces operate, we have a system buildup, an immediate response force that is in one-hour readiness, one hour they are already carrying out combat missions, that is, these aspects are very important, this is the main understanding, so that we get the latest systems such as iskander, our palan?

the romanian dictator and the fuhrer, and there

they openly say: well, the slavs are generally worse than the jews, worse than the jews, they need to be destroyed without any help, and this logic has not gone anywhere, because the followers of hitler, they survived in germany, someone moved to america, someone now supports ukraine, these disputes of this rot, this brown plague, they remained there, now under the guise of new ideas, there is any transhumanism, they are trying maintain their dominance, and... news from italy. remember, recently everyone was shocked by the video of the blackshirts zagging in the center of rome. so now the spiritual heirs of musaleni can do this completely calmly. italy's supreme constitutional court has decided that the use of the fascist salute is acceptable at commemorative events. displaying a fascist salute can only be considered a crime if it

jeopardizes public order or there is a concrete danger of an uprising by a banned fascist party as stated in the court's decision. they have logic. the horses are considered iron, you don’t mean anything bad , zigging to your health, but at the same time the whole world understands what zigging is, every person still understands, which means i agree with alexey, but i’ll add, there’s a war going on right now too and for resources, because the west, the west cannot live at its own expense, throughout its existence they have lived by robbing the middle east, africa and the post-soviet space, 30 years after the collapse of the ussr they wanted to live at our expense. everything from well-being in the over nineties, they built at our expense, and today, when the world rebelled, when the middle east said: “we want to live on our own, when the countries of africa want, listen, enough colonies, we want to extract our minerals and sell them according to the the price at which market relations will be bought from us, no , we won’t give it to you, let’s go to war, get

blood, we will bomb you, destroy you, the same with the post-soviet space, the same with belarus, with russia, they don’t want so that..." we could live independently in peace, that’s why when the president says this phrase: peace and sovereignty are expensive, that ’s what we’re talking about, there will be no sovereignty, they will be stolen, plundered, destroyed and nothing about it - these are values, some ideological concepts, they don’t have an ideology, they they constantly invent it, change it, now fascism, now liberalism, this radical, then something else , but the essence is the same, it is interconnected, yes, i agree, we just have our own values. second, third, how much more we simply won’t have time when here we are in the first block there is one threat, discuss, but they exist, the most

the wrong year, the most inopportune time for elections, it would seem, but they must be held anyway, inappropriate, because we understand that it’s like... the population, this issue is just security, yes, as they say, the ship is sinking not when there is water around, when there is water inside, do we have this understanding? well, you know, even based on the discussion that we are having today in the studio, maybe it will even seem paradoxical to some that in such a situation, yes, two states are going their own

way, implementing the plans that including on improving the political... emphasizes that we are self-confident, both the republic of belarus and the russian federation, we are implementing the plans that we have, now it’s election time, the electoral process, we

will hold a single day for the first time on february 25 voting, we will elect 12,600 deputies of local councils, this is the form, i’m interested in this... inside we can do whatever we want, a lot of posters, a lot, in the population, in the people who form the basis of any state, there is an understanding, a feeling, the pulse of that time, that we can now put many aesthetic things on the back burner and keep the main thing in focus, by removing that, we will simply collapse and there will be nothing, you correctly said that here are the deputies of the chamber, representatives, members of the council. this was very active work with the population in work collectives, in the regions, and we feel it.

so to speak, the draft concept of national security and military doctrine, that is, this shows that the country lives its own life, but there are certain unrest, they are associated primarily with those actions which we observe on the external contour, on the external contour, yes, there is an understanding of the situation, the situation, but this will not prevent us from carrying out and implementing those. the tasks that face the country, the state and with dignity, to calmly make a choice, what the west wants from every election in belarus and not only

belarus, to make the country weaker, what we want to make stronger, which means we want to make the country stronger, i am convinced, i i’m not afraid, you’re asking the right question, what will happen in these elections, it’s right that we we are carrying out now, whether there will be destabilization, whether there will be destabilization, why we know the risks, threats, there will be attempts, but nothing will work.

year, briefly, let’s listen to a very important fragment from the president, we have never been so protected, our people, our state, as now, how it will be, if god forbid, a war breaks out, well, it will all depend on us, the system has been built. there are armed forces, a mobilization reserve of half a million people for the war, we call, there is territorial defense, someone is your participant, there is a people’s militia, in the village council must fight for the village , who can hold a gun to protect their home, everything is lined up, weapons, ammunition, distributed locally, stored, pressed a button, started spinning, spinning, but it all depends on us. from me and from all of you , the head of state briefly said how

we will defend our land, and a thousand times he is right, all this will be confirmed precisely in our military doctrine, what is a military doctrine in general, the doctrine determines the policy, the military policy of our state, its main aspects, here in within the framework, when we were preparing this doctrine , it was based, of course, on the constitution, the concept of national security, it was not only the general... headquarters that worked, we have already dwelled on this issue , everyone worked, teams, ministries, departments, our parliamentarians worked , that is, everyone has their own point of view, this is not a purely military document, it’s just this sphere, the military sphere, it is very, very important today, first of all it is important because of what is happening around us, the basis of the military doctrine is military-political situation, and the military-political situation is made up of, firstly, what are the views of our neighboring states, especially in the west, this is what their doctrines look like, what their strategies look like,

military conflicts, we have moved away from the old approaches, this is connected local, regional, large-scale conflicts, now there is an interstate conflict and a coalition war, an interstate war and a coalition war, that is, it seems to be already clear here, and the most important thing is that it is defined in what areas it is being waged, so we are often here in in the programs there we discuss these documents, war is generally a two-way process, where there is one side and the other, who are solving some of their own problems, and it is clearly defined for us that we will conduct military operations on the ground. in space, at sea, in the air and in the information space, these are just cognitive, mental wars, everything is already taken into account in our military doctrine, these are the fundamental aspects, in addition, what must be said, our allied relations are also spelled out in military doctrine and peacekeeping approaches are ours, we

learned from the experience of what happened in kazakhstan, the experience of those, technical... exercises that we are conducting within the framework of the organization of a collective security treaty, all these aspects are taken into account, and most importantly, the president set tasks for the preparation of such important documents as the concept national security, as a military doctrine, required the most important thing, to get away from the template, to get away from just standard approaches and formalism, i think we succeeded, the second thing is that we had to take into account the experience of all absolutely these conceptual documents that were . have been developed recently, and the most important thing we are talking about is maintaining the continuity of our military doctrine, these aspects are beyond any doubt, they have been taken into account, so i think the military doctrine turned out to be normal, good, it will turn out normal, good, working a document that will clearly define the main directions for the development of all other strategic documents, including those of a closed nature, on how to protect peace

and stability on our land. alexey, what should we do? this is what we are building according to updating the concept of national security of the military doctrine, in fact, a new political architecture , the supreme national assembly appears, key documents are updated, we follow the constitution, in fact, this is an ongoing process and we are setting up our state, well, for existence and a dignified existence in new conditions, but here it is important one thing: we ’ll talk about it 100 times, but if we don’t have order in our house, if we don’t feel like one family, well, this is not the time, yes, to be pulled into corners, it means that our state really has a leader, there is laws that regulate, including the use of the most serious weapons, we understand the intentions of the potential enemy, unfortunately, they do not inspire optimism, and

it...

means dividing the slavs, dragging out a war and destroying them, this is their plan, the same plan for belarus, therefore, when we talk about threats, about the concept of national security, about military doctrine, there is also a war for minds, which will continue all these years even stronger than before, an information war, an ideological war, a war of meanings, a war for our youth, for our children, teenage students, and we will not allow this war to be lost, this is probably one of the most important things we will fight for, and by military means, well, let them try, let them try , let them teach history. well, you know, this is precisely the western saber-rattling that demonstrates that the west is losing

the fight for, for the minds of people, for the minds of people, which is why serious information and psychological attention will also be paid to this aspect.

ourselves, on this note we will end today’s episode, thank you for participating in the program, that's all for today.

let me love you, like a flower in the field, like a young apple that flocks over a crayfish, like a patched bird that lives in the wild, let me love you. let me love you for the song that i can smell, for the sweet, booming laughter, for the frequent signal, the clear direction.
