and then it's not scary, thank you very much. thank you.

the lord and his name is death , a classic german ballad of the 17th century , written in the midst of the thirty years' war , by the standards of that time, world lamentation for countless victims in europe, the ominous image is reproduced in culture again and again. here is the shock reconnaissance drone of the army. usa named reaper. reaper with transparent allusion. on tuesday, the reaper was unlucky, the flight on the black sea ended at the bottom after meeting with a russian aircraft during

the company in ukraine, the first direct russian the american collision was relatively harmless, and yet the secretary of defense and chief staff officer mark meeley called their counterparts in moscow to explain. during the cold war, airborne incidents were not considered uncommon, sometimes even fatal and not always over soviet territory, for example, september 4 the fiftieth year, the soviet bomber douglas boston of the pacific fleet was on a training flight and was shot down by an american fighter corsair. the crew died, the american command apologized and called the incident a mistake, then the korean war was going on and tension was growing, but on the day of the signing of truces in the korean conflict on july 27, 53, and sports. artur flew transport il-12 on board were

an officer of the medical service. ice on the technical staff and the crew a total of 21 people, the plane flew over china to vladivostok, it was attacked by the fourth f86b fighter. all who were on board died after 2 days. after that, near askold island on the territory of the ussr, a pair of mig-17s shot down an american reconnaissance b-50 incidents were not only in the far east in june fifty the second year over the baltic sea , fighters at 15 shot down a swedish reconnaissance s-47. sky plane formally neutral sweden collected electronic intelligence data in favor of nato 3 days later shot down one of the catalina flying boats that flew in to look for him and tried to evade persecution on june 1, 1960. the soviet mig-17 shot down the american

reconnaissance aircraft rb-47 over the barents sea, where exactly the planes were hit in neutral waters or in soviet waters is still unclear. each side has its own opinion, but there have been incidents of civilian the most famous liners, perhaps this is the boeing 7 shot down in 83 on sakhalin. well, the cinnamon had no luck, and before that, on april 20, the seventy -eighth year, their flight 902 of the same karen air airline flew from paris to seoul and got lost over the kola peninsula, they tried to land it, but his pilot is a former combat pilot. the air force tried to get away from the chase, as a result, the plane was shot down and made an emergency landing. only two people died on the ice of the lake, the rest were saved. the actions of the soviet interceptors were recognized as correct the ussr demanded compensation for the rescue of passengers, and the airline itself refused to pick up the plane so as not to pay for

the evacuation and get insurance. incidents in the air and at sea a companion of the cold war to the spirit, which we returned to the spirit, but not the letter , because, then in the early seventies awareness of the risks of reckless behavior led to the signing of an agreement to prevent incidents on the high seas and the airspace above it quotes from the document aircraft crew commanders, each of the parties must show the greatest caution and prudence when approaching aircraft of the other side operating over the high seas and ships of the other country operating in the open. sea. say drone not a plane. so it doesn’t fit, but the point is not in the type or so of the apparatus, but in the fact that they forgot about the greatest caution, they thought it was unnecessary, but the customs of confrontation

returned. so it's time for everyone to remember about safety. china in recent weeks in the spotlight first session of the all chinese people's congress and all the chinese committee people's political advisory council xi jinping, officially elected president of the people's republic of china for the third time, then the sworn rivals and wounds of saudi arabia appeared in beijing on the restoration of relations for china, the first mediation success of world significance, finally comrade, cc is waiting in moscow at the present time. any russian-chinese summit event. and if the first visit of a new term is a gesture and a landmark china reaches a qualitative level, the policy of diplomatic influence partly contributes conjuncture. major players are bogged down in

contradictions. the average asserts itself and seek patrons. and beijing is prudently using the situation. although he is still afraid of excessive attraction. as for the new stage, let's talk with our faithful, comrade alexander lamanov, deputy director of the primakov moscow maritime organization. hello sasha. and what conclusions do experts draw from the new composition of the chinese government? everyone is fixated on the ministry of defense, which is under american sanctions, but this is not the most important thing. delegates of all chinese assembly people's representatives approved the new composition of the state council. letyan, a confidant of syzenpin, became the head of the new government. prior to that, he successfully led the shanghai city committee. during the coronavirus pandemic, he was responsible for observing strict anti-covid restrictions in the city as part

of the covid-19 zero tolerance policy. he worked for a long time in various positions in the east of the country, and in october last year he became a member of the standing committee of the bureau of the central committee ccp deputy premiers of the state council ding yixiang liu gujun. heli fen and jang guoqing by state prc advisers became the minister of public security. vann, xiaohong chinese foreign minister. qin, head of the government secretariat, improved member of the 20th cpc central committee shein and qing, as well as minister of defense, li shangfo the latter will command the chinese army with no combat experience at the age of 45, he led the spaceport, now led the launch of china's first lunar probe and oversaw space programs. in addition, whether shanfu has been under us sanctions for the purchase of russian aircraft and

s-400 missile systems, in addition to the head of the ministry of foreign affairs, china's qin'an and the minister of state security. whose and blue his posts, kept the key figures of the chinese economy in their former positions. minister of finance, liukun, minister of commerce, wang wintau, as well as the head of the people's bank of china and gan a, the state committee for development or formulas headed jenzel earlier, the mps re-elected all dolphins as the chairman of the prc for the first time in the history of the country, he will hold this post for another 5 years, the third term almost 3,000 unanimously voted for him in a row deputies , a hypocrite was elected vice president of the people's republic of china on the assistance of the premier of the state council. he was in charge of the affairs of hong kong and macau and at the same time oversaw the investment and energy cooperation between russia

and china well, firstly, the prime minister personally and at least two vice-premiers knew xi jinping from work last year, so one of the features of the current cabinet is like minimum, a constructive personal business and past business relationship with the present. and what was not constructive in the previous one? well, such trusting ones, probably, more precisely, so to speak, of course, they have always been and will be constructive on duty, but these are the people who worked with him won his trust well, letyans, respectively, at work in the provinces. gina they were together there for several years. uh, the first vice premier of shanghai xian they worked together for less than a year, but there was a completely peculiar situation, because the previous head of the city party organization of shanghai shens, was dismissed with great noise for corruption and in 2007, if a day pina

was sent to krat the shanghai party of the organization, that is, they , together with the first with the current first vice premier dino sirican, actually put things in order there in personnel organizational matters. sidenping has been carrying out the reform of the chinese government for almost 10 years now, and the main idea is that everything is led by the non-government party . yeah, but the party, therefore, in its current form, hmm, the chinese cabinet. well, the chinese premiers are vice premiers. they are assumed in advance to their positions, as a quality very conscientious performers. they are both developers of books and self-politics. socio-economic reforms. there are no longer people in the top leadership of the state council who would study backwards, because this is a wave of fashion for those who have hmm western doctorates of the big world outlook does not mean that

they are illiterate people. just another requirement, well, that is, it can be formulated in an indirect form. so you live in china. you have to understand china and get out of chinese specifics and solve chinese problems based on the chinese context. unusual figure, strongly promoted, but uh, nevertheless, this is for dzhangotin, who, well , worked for more than 20 years in the chinese military-industrial complex, managed a defense enterprise quite successfully, moreover, in his youth at the turn of the eighties and nineties. he also worked as a representative office of his company in tehran. so he has, uh, he also has such an international outlook , but so to speak. that's exactly his international and any john and also not very well -publicized deputy prime minister, in my opinion. he just asks for a role supervising deputy prime minister in relation to

russia, he was first born in the provinces. restricted to the far east of russia, he held leadership positions in this province for more than a dozen years. he was in charge for some time of the division province in this also in the northeast. china has already dealt with uh, well, russian politicians, far eastern leaders, but another interesting thing, i think before, uh, in the chinese government, they tried to recruit them. who has experience of working in poor regions. it was an old so much old fashioned approach. here a person should look at life. here you are in charge of a rich province, and then you need to be in charge of a poor province so that you understand. these are the difficulties in life, so as not to think that everything is good everywhere. but this is a selection of people, they are not there, those who would be sent to especially poor provinces specifically for hmm gaining experience. uh, i think it's very good and she thinks that i understand

the logic of sidimpin, what is better to collect? a team of those who understand well the success of the market economy. here in these rich, prosperous, developing seaside market markets. e economies. you mentioned iran, uh, just now a very big fuss arose about the agreement between iran and saudi arabia, which were concluded in beijing, even the entire entourage was absolutely chinese, these are the ones we are used to. uh, a big success for the chinese and it turns out that this is, as it were, in their new level. i don’t remember that china has ever taken on such large international tasks that are not directly related to it, but should we wait for a transition to another level, and so to speak activities in other conflicts. well , of course, our russian ukrainians also have a unique situation, that of trusting relationships and interaction with

both reconciling parties. in the event that one of the parties to the conflict is too much exposed to the american policy of containing china, the desire to slow down. of course, china is hope , there will be no such success, but i agree with you that the new level of development of china that china is aware of the same, it is not that china suddenly succeeds and suddenly realizes that it is stronger and smarter. how it seemed. e before. methodically consistently and clearly, having a strategic plan prepares china for this role. it's just enough to look at what has happened over the past three years. 2021, all beer day puts forward a global development initiative that is focused on helping, lagging behind, developing countries seize their chance for material development in this world of the past 2022 against the background of the crisis. in

ukraine, sit beer puts forward a global security initiative just a couple of days ago at an international forum of political parties proclaims a global initiative of the dialogue of civilization. all good things nothing bad support the inheritance of values ​​to discuss the price means to discuss the problem in the tradition of innovation to develop a dialogue. uh between people uh, respect the diversity of civilization. er, well, at the same time, he raised the most important questions about how the modern world should develop. what is modernization and immediately said that what modernization should not be, it should not be a copy. uh, as he said of the outdated path of colonial expansion, when someone upgraded through robbery. it should not be a repetition of the path of the colonial ominous malevolent path, when a strong state intimidates other countries.

but china will show the whole world. how to correctly follow the path of peaceful modernization and modernization, which does not harm anyone and, accordingly, creates only good for everything. why is this important to mankind? in my opinion, this is not only a single initiative, that china has succeeded, er, in reconciling opponents here, or solved some problem of a single country, or in the region there, china is forming a kind of voluminous strategic idea of ​​​​how the world should work in the coming decades, and the networker is asking absolutely wonderful rhetorical questions. in part, copying the language of mao zeng, but from this they happen completely e , in chinese in chinese stylistically in chinese penetrating here is how to properly drain a pond in order to catch a fish or create just such a model of modernization in which man and nature are always will live in

harmony, and mao's thoughts were very fond of this phrase. in fact. he liked to use it at that time, somewhere in the late fifties, early 60s, in relation to the soviet union , that this is what the soviet economy says, in this way they act there like a wasp pond. it means they caught the fish, and then the economy means that it is in a complete crisis. but in china, we will learn how to make the economy function without such, e, radical phenomena, a little like the immortal dilemma of faina ranevskaya girl. do you want to go to the country or have your head torn off, well, on the other parties have nothing to argue with. i just wanted, uh, the last question, but for us, probably, the most important thing is what they are waiting for in moscow from a dolphin, and a partnership that has no boundaries. we announced over a year ago. far further that it will develop. it was such a trial initiative on the chinese side, a kind of proposal that, but i would regard it as a chinese desire to enter into dialogues. uh, not only with our government, but also with our

expert community, but with our public in order to find new horizons of development. it was the very beginning 2021, when chinese foreign minister wang yi said about the three absences in russian chinese relations from the old wording that we know well three no that our relations are not wrong- this is not the creation of an alliance nor the entry into a confrontation. they are not aimed against third countries, and suddenly the chinese side proposes such a wording as three absences. that is , this is the complete absence of limiters forward in depth in chronology, according to my observations already in the past 2022. uh, from the chinese side, this wording is no longer repeated, but the baseline that comes down to these three no e is not a creation. union is not a conflict, not confrontational . they were directed against third trances. very interesting was

the speech of the minister of foreign affairs of the already new tenin, last week during the parliamentary session. it is very interesting to make such a comparison that the paramount importance of diplomatic diplomacy of leaders or diplomacy of first persons for the development of russian-chinese relations, that the contacts of our two leaders, i quote sineghan, they are like a compass and setting the course of a star for relations between russia and china it seems to me that this was a kind of hint at the importance of the upcoming event. she was truly symbolic exactly 10 years ago, only after becoming the chairman of the people's republic of china xi. jinping then paid a visit to russia in march 2013. thank you very much alexander lomanov was with you. and the saudi arabian events, not the ordinary confrontation between tehran and

reda shiites and sunnis is one of the main lines of division in the region, which has long been undergoing shock, the shift inspires a small yet, but optimism about the changing atmosphere in west asia is reassuring that the united states is on the sidelines because the latest series of cataclysms began with their supply. monday marks 20 years since the us invaded iraq, burying the delicate balance in this part of the world. 49 countries participated in the war against iraq. the total number of troops reached 540,000 people, but more than 450,000 of them were americans and reactions. at best, they could put up 200,000 regular troops and another 150 fedorin saddams, in fact, militias on technicals

toyota iraq was under an international blockade after the capture of kuwait in 1990 and desert storms in 1991, it was sanctioned and created an unmanned zone and forced to cooperate with the un under the oil-for -food program, the economy began and after it the army during the blockade, equipment became almost it is impossible to repair and upgrade from more than 1,000 tanks available. on the move was at best half in these conditions. the task of baghdad was to drag out battles and inflict unacceptable losses and cancer, mostly desert. so we need to defend the cities and turn them into a fortress, iraqis. they expected a strike from all sides, but, especially from the north, turkey is a member of nato and the blow would have come through the kurdish regions of the hostile sadams, but at the last moment the turkish parliament refused to provide its territory as a result of

the offensive began in the south and the us army scully hit a powerful tank fist through the desert into the void of large cities. in mesopotamia, including the basra, they were surrounded. here the events from the book of the generation of murderers took place, which later turned into a series , at first the iraqis believed that everything was going according to plan and the garrisons were holding out, but the main group moved towards baghdad. her goal was to slip through the narrow isthmus between the lake and the mech and frad in the area of ​​kerbella. this is where the americans are. it was possible to fight, and they were seriously afraid of the use of chemical weapons, but the reaction was too late, the attack of the iraqi divisions of medina and the exit turned into a beating of them bombed from the air and in the dark with the help of a night vision sight, meanwhile the american army blocked the iraqi capital with a clear plan of assault; there were no plans to probe the defenses with raids known even from

the svetlanov war. the so-called tandyrran thunder strike. the first involved only armored tracked vehicles, including 29 americans. on april 5, the task was to enter the city and , before reaching the center, turn towards the baghdad airport. it was also occupied by the americans , there was no well-coordinated defense of the city, but the scattered parts of the iraqi army, the syrian mercenaries of the fedorina guard , desperately resisted on april 7 conduct a second raid into the city center to even stay there. at night, in order to later drive a supply convoy on wheeled vehicles through the fortified points, and the reactions desperately resisted, but the convoy nevertheless passed, brought fuel and ammunition. although during these raids the americans also suffered losses at dawn on april 8 and the reactions again went on the attack, but during the night the americans turned the tide in their favor with intensity. atak fell, and from

the southeast the marine corps division approached the next day on april 9, it was her fighters toppled the sadam statue futility attack, heavy machinery in the city undermined the will. to fight. there was still an assault ahead, kirkuuka, and mosul only on may 1, george w. bush announced the end of hostilities, which in fact ended only in 2011 with the final withdrawal of american troops from iraq, but the sadam regime fell on april 9 along with his statue. after what began the plunder of the city instead of the population? historically, this is the culmination of american hegemony , the post-cold war climax, because the united states decided that it had the right to act solely at its own discretion, but the climax and because it was the iraqi operation that marked the beginning

of the decline of the american empire, not instantaneously, but the limits of possibility were clearly identified at the very beginning of the 2000s, the american intellectual class experienced a short moment that was not characteristic of it, but bright in america, the concept of empire was suddenly rehabilitated, before it was abusive and the country arose on the republican ideals of dissident migrants from europe, all authorities end of the 20th century. gave birth to temptation can become a beneficent hegemon of the empire of goodness to bear progress force. the iraqi fissure tempered appetites, but while the us was aware of this, continuing to promote democracy by inertia the entire region plunged into anarchy , some believe that controlled chaos was a conscious strategy in washington . they

wanted something else. what's best for yourself. and it turned out. well you know the formal reason for the invasion was the information of the american intelligence services, allegedly, having created hussein, is developing weapons of mass destruction and is collaborating with al-qaeda after the terrorist attacks in the united states on september 11, the explosive mixture of evidence was personally provided to the un security council by us secretary of state colin powell and showed a test tube with white matter, the active phase of the operation lasted 26 days , april 14, 2003 . tikrit's hometown of adam hussein fell , but the president himself was found only eight months later, near the city, the court sentenced him to death. saddam was hanged 3 years later in december 2006 on may 1 , 2003, president george push announced

the end of hostilities and the beginning of military occupation. the new one did not end; the country was overwhelmed by a wave of inter-religious population. the last column of us troops left iraq only 8 years later in december 2011, the coalition forces lost. nearly 5,000 predominantly americans in iraq, given iraqi casualties vary us media reports 300,000 military and civilians the lancet, the figure is called 460,000 raks weapons of mass destruction, no one found saddam hussein's regime the united states received a new ally in the middle east but lost a counterweight to shiite iran iraq where more than half of the population of shitoi gained close ties with tehran, which began to gain political weight in the middle east and became a new problem for

many things can be imputed to the americans, but as they like to say for tango, two are needed saddam hussein seemed to deliberately provoke both washington and everyone else by the time of the invasion, he single-handedly ruled iraq for almost 24 years now. what just did not survive, including and the first us intervention in the ninety- first, faith in one's own invulnerability is a dangerous illusion. saddam believed that politics with propaganda feints would outplay anyone. he miscalculated did not think that the american invasion would be so massive. he expected some separate operations. if that were the case, they would only strengthen his power. he grew up as a politician in a situation of constant crises, knew how to deal with them, but this time he did not pass. why? because in bush and the republicans were in the white house; if

they were there, no one else would have dared to do this. after all, they eventually lost what they achieved, turned iraq into a hostile state , lost 5,000 people, billions and billions of dollars and no return. when the americans left in 2011, the radical shiite groups decided that they were the ones who defeated them. after all, do not be americans. they would never be in power themselves. in general, they calculated. so, in the end, he got all americans. by the damper was in opposition to him, he was a statesman at the same time a real dictator, but looking back. i understand that the iraqi people created dictators for themselves, and did not impose their power by gardening. i have read a huge number of documents about him and
