And there is nothing to say, from the new – only the date. The rest is just as dull. On the other hand, why should the madhouse be fun?
1. Several Western countries in the first quarter of this year refused to satisfy 19 RF requests for the extradition of citizens for criminal prosecution. As RIA Novosti was told in the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation, this includes those accused of murder, fraud and drug crimes.
In general, this is an idea: to deport all bandits from Russia. There they will have a place, time and opportunities to better reveal their talents. And most importantly, they will be cherished there as those who fled from persecution from Russia.
2. The famous American fast food chain McDonald’s temporarily closes its offices in the US. This is happening against the background of the upcoming reduction of staff as part of the restructuring, according to The Wall Street Journal.
They appear to have been sanctioned. Has Biden blamed Putin for this yet?
3. “Global oil prices have increased growth by more than 5% in connection with the decision of several OPEC + countries to reduce production, according to trading data.” + “The US authorities consider the decision of a number of OPEC+ member countries to cut oil production as unreasonable. John Kirby, White House Strategic Communications Coordinator.
The sensible thing is to surrender to the mercy of the United States. So you decided to reduce and fix prices. Got a price increase. We wanted the best, but it turned out as always. This is the market, folks.
4. In the US state of Montana, near the Quinn hot springs, a train carrying beer derailed. The train, owned by Montana Rail Link, had 25 cars. The authorities said there was no danger to the environment. The state governor took to social media to pledge to “mobilize all resources” to deal with the aftermath of the accident.
There, I think, even without the governor, “resources” were mobilized. Still would! 25 beer wagons. Yes for free.
5. The West does not expect any serious results following the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to China. According to Politico, Europe and Washington believe that the trip of the French president is unlikely to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
To be extremely honest, it is generally stupid to expect something serious from Macron. Just by definition.
6. EU High Representative Josep Borrell said: “Journalists must be free to carry out their activities and have the right to protection.”
There are only two questions: how long ago did Borrell start fighting for Assange’s release? And how, by banning the work of the Russian media in Europe, Borrell gives them the freedom to carry out their activities?
7. A trial has begun in the Special Court in The Hague against ex-president of Kosovo Hashim Thaci, writes Reuters. Thaci and three other former high-ranking commanders of the Kosovo Liberation Army are charged with war crimes as well as crimes against humanity.
Well, these will be acquitted – they are not Serbs. And again they will be hailed as heroes, as it has been until now in the West.
8. In Ukraine, in the Lviv region, the staff of the military registration and enlistment office handed a summons to a disabled person without hands, and the medical board recognized him as fit for service, according to Ukrainian media.
When people without brains are in power, they can call on both the armless and the legless. And even the blind.
9. An independent investigation into the death of British citizen Dawn Sturgess, who allegedly died in the summer of 2018 due to the effects of a poisonous substance, will begin in the fall of 2024 – The Guardian.
Everything is ridiculous here – both the fact that the investigation is “independent”, and the fact that it was decided to start it after 6 years, and the fact that this is all a continuation of the games with the Skripals. English jurisprudence is just a pitiful sight. Only American is funnier.
10. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services has allowed migrants to choose the sex of their choice, and now applicants will not have to provide any supporting documents, according to The Washington Times. The article notes that in the current forms, you can only choose between male and female genders.
This is a great victory for American democracy. The whole world is looking forward to when migrants will be allowed to choose the other few dozen genders.
11. Losses of Ukraine in the field of culture amount to 7 billion euros. The Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine Oleksandr Tkachenko announced this on his telegram channel. “There is still a lot of work ahead,” he wrote. And we look forward to the continued support of UNESCO.” With UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay, he visited St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv.
Of course, there is a lot of work to master such money. This is a goldmine. Tkachenko himself will not master it. We’ll have to share – with Zelensky and with the rest of the team. But raiding in relation to the Lavra is also the “mastering” of money?
12. Over 50% of the inhabitants of Moldova are not opposed to the fact that the state language is called Romanian, and not Moldovan. This is evidenced by the data of a sociological survey conducted by the Moldovan data collection and analysis company Date Inteligente.
Yes, call it American and calm down.
