More than 70% of soldiers in ukrainian army right now are from eastern Ukraine and most part of them speak russian, their native language. Avakov, current ukrainian minister of internal affairs, speaks russian (his native language) on TV freely. These soldiers who fight for Ukraine speak russian as well as anchorman on ukrainain TV channel:

So, it's not about language, man. Think about it.

I have saw a post that he said everything we see is build by someone.. So everything that exists built by someone like bitcoin and some other things. so he said god is the one created everything.. I got a logical question.. So if god exists who created him??? Guys it is not an insult.. A logical question only. Please share your ideology 

This clearly shows Spain is much richer. It can borrow money easily whereas no banker wants to put into money in Russia. New car registrations give a good indication of a country's wealth, and both markets are now equal. That is quite incredible, considering the population's difference...

According to what the President of the European Information Centre for Human Rights in Vienna, Harry Murey told AiF.ru, the trial court issued on August 17 a ruling on the inadmissibility of  deprivation of a citizen of Russia, Angelina de Meyer, and her husband, Daniel de Meyer, of parental rights on the newborn baby. "The month-old child of De Meyer family is a citizen of the Russian Federation and at the moment is not residing in Germany. The Court emphasized that Jugendamt Paderborn CPS agency's appeal to the court is unreasonable and can not have a chance of success." - said Murey.

Recall that two years ago a court in the same city deprived Angelina de Meyer (citizen of Russia), and her husband, a native of Germany, of parental rights to two minor children - Abby and Jamie -accusing the parents without evidence of abusing the minors.

"Despite all the hardships and difficulties, August 17 can be called a truly significant day for Russia. Admitting Russian diplomats to participate in the hearing, the Court implicitly acknowledged the child, born in the heart of the Crimea, in Simferopol, for a fully-qualified citizen of the Russian Federation, according to the legislative acts of the Russian Constitution. It is obvious that there has not been set such precedents in the courts on the territory of the European Union, since Crimea became part of the Russian Federation.", - noted in the European information center for human rights.

Russian UN representative Vitaly Churkin has said “there is chaos in Kiev,” following the UN Security Council meeting on recent Ukraine-Russia tensions. It comes a day after Russia detained two potential attackers on the Crimean border with Ukraine.

“There is chaos in Kiev. They don’t know what to do with Donetsk. The Minsk agreements are quite clear, but they [Ukrainian authorities] have no political will to implement them,” Churkin told journalists.

Donetsk is located in the eastern Ukrainian Donbass region, one of the hotspots of the current tensions.

"Many Security Council members called for full implementation of the Minsk agreements… This is in line with our stance," the diplomat said.

Instead of doing this, Kiev “distracts attention to other things,” he added.

Churkin also emphasized that the US delegation yet again had attempted to present an “entirely one-sided picture of the events in Ukraine.”

“Despite Washington’s statements about their determination to solve the crisis in Ukraine, unfortunately it never reflects in the UN Security Council discussions. As for the rest, I think that it was useful for us. We provided the information about what happened.”

Before the meeting, Churkin said that what happened on the border with Crimea was “a clear act of sabotage and terrorism. So I am very surprised that they raised the issue with the UN Security Council.”

On Wednesday, Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) stated it had foiled a terrorist plot planned by Ukrainian intelligence.

Explosive devices and ammunition used by the Ukrainian Army’s special forces had also been discovered, the FSB said.

Kiev rejected the claims, and accused Moscow of provocation.

Among those detained in the operation was southern Ukrainian resident Evgeny Panov, who shared details of the plan and who was behind it, according to the footage of his questioning shown by the Russian media.

“I was invited to Kiev, where I was told about the formation of a group which would be sent to carry out acts of diversion in Crimea. The group was comprised of active officers from Ukraine’s military intelligence service. The operation was prepared by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry. The plan was to blow up Russian military hardware. And of course, there was a high risk of killing people in the process.”

With the group, Panov traveled to several cities in Crimea and chose a number of potential targets – a ferry crossing, an oil plant in Feodossia, a helicopter regiment, and the ‘Titan’ chemical factory in the town of Armyansk.

Panov was paid about $130 for the operation, he added.

A day after the FSB announced the foiled plot, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko urged all military units near Crimea and the eastern Ukrainian Donbass region to be at the highest level of combat readiness.

The Ukrainian security forces on the border with Crimea are ready "for any turn of events," the aide to the Ukrainian border service, Oleg Slobodyan, told journalists at a briefing following the president’s statement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Ukraine has turned to "the practice of terrorism" and "is playing a dangerous game," calling Kiev's actions "stupid and criminal."

We all know why the U.S. is involved in the Middle East...oil.

It is that simple.

It is time for us to simply admit this and keep our actions constrained to only the actions that benefit the U.S.

Nation building in countries that are barely out of the Stone Age (1) is a waste of money and time.

If Military force is to be used...let it be overwhelming, decisive and quick. (2)

All 200 Russian Paralympianss are banned – a decision with which they waited till last moment – for the pleasure of an executioner to inflict an extra torture on a victim, I can only assume. Only athletes with the most severe injuries or impairments imaginable are allowed to compete in Paralympics, including missing legs and arms, paralysis, cerebral palsy or Down syndrome. In other words, those people who defeated insurmountable odds to survive and thrive. It seems especially diabolical to do this to such athletes.

For the full picture on this new low in the war against Russia, and on how Olympics have become an ugly proxy in the global geopolitical struggle to preserve the dying US Empire, read my complete article compilation on Olympics, doping in sport, and Brazil!

Do you think Putin will rule Russia for life?

Is there anyone, whom do you consider a viable replacement at this point?

Are there really options for someone new to take over after Putin's presidency will end?

Personally, I think he will. He has no legal obstacles not to go for next elections, he's probably the only candidate to win.

Lol... that guy seems to be in everyone's ignore list. You should not quote him, as it defeats the very purpose of ignoring someone.

Now back to the topic, Serena must be banned from competing in the women's game. She is definitely not 100% female. It is more like 60% female and 40% male. That gives Serena the advantage when competing against women.

...

I repeat, all athletes use different doping to improve the results of its features. Only a few manage to deceive the monitoring organizations, while other competitors are not able to deceive the control and they are forbidden to speak at the event. At this time, the Russian athletes are out of luck.

Meldoniy (Meldonium) scandal

The Meldonium scandal began developing earlier this year after late last year WADA suddenly declared Meldonium to be a super-doping agent and banned it. It quickly turned out that Meldonium stayed in one’s bloodstream for months, and so, even those athletes who ended Meldonium usage immediately after the ban, tested positive months later and were promptly banned from all international competitions. WADA faced criticism for its ‘poorly researched and tested’ decision on Meldonium, but it simply shrugged off any such criticism and kept plowing on.

Here is an article on CBS about that: Meldonium producers say the drug can take months to leave body

The most famous athlete they got on Meldonium scandal was tennis star Maria Sharapova, who, as a result, is under a 2-year playing ban, and of course, she is missing the Rio Olympics. Why it was important to get Sharapova? Along with Yelena Isinbayeva, she is the face of the Russian sport. She was the Russian flag bearer at the London Olympics, and just like Isinbayeva, she is universally loved and admired.

Bolder for better understanding.

He says he just visited Plotnitsky in the hospital and that wounds aren’t life threatening: ‘Plotnitsky is tough, like all Donbass people, he’ll make it.’ Zakharchenko said that their intel showed for a while that attempts on both of their lives were being prepared by Kiev. He added that there won’t be Minsk 3 and that this is the end of negotiations.

These stats that only 0.91% russian doping tests was positive is bullshit. Mostly tests was made in russian laboratories and in Sochi olympics and investigation proved, that mostly tests was falsificated by workers of laboaratories and russian FSB. Original tests was changed to clean tests. So, this chart don't give us real view.

Sharapova was favorite for London Olympics gold. The international disappointment and underground discontent against the ‘steroid sister’ Serena Williams’ gold in London ran deep; doubts and protests took place – all squashed.

They are feeling the beginning of an end of the failed Western globalist model and they are ready to bite to death in order to preserve their miserable existence.

This is nothing new, Ladies and Gentlemen! It’s dehumanizing someone who thinks differently in order to make it easier for the sheeple to accept an upcoming war. This is how World War II started and this is how millions were burned alive or experimented on! Let me remind you that the puppet masters behind igniting WWI and WWII were located in the same place from whence this report has originated.

The London-based ISD report recommends de-radicalizing the following categories: pro-Kremlin supporters, far left and far right, as well as Russian speakers!



Danielle Ryan ‏@DanielleRyanJ

This is frankly insane. Will there be similar initiatives for “radical, pro-White House supporters”?

Report, authored by Lucas and Pomerantsev, equates anyone supportive of Kremlin policy with radical Islamists in need of ‘deradicalization.’

its the usual anti russian bs, as if any top level athletes are not on some sort of proscribed drugs/hormones

BREAKING NEWS!

IPC (International Paralympic Committee) considers whether they should ban Russian Paralympic team from #Rio2016 Paralympic Summer Games. In other words, they waited for the very last moment to deliver this new blow.

This video by RT (Russian) says the investigation against Russian Paralympic team began ONLY after July 28, 2016 ‘independent’ WADA commission’s recommendation to ban the Russian Olympic team from Rio. The Olympics are to begin on August 5, 2016 and many athletes are already there. The whole thing has been timed so that there is no time for handicapped athletes to appeal or demand justice.

If ban against handicapped and disadvantaged athletes comes to pass, Russia threatens to sue in the International Human Rights Court.

BUT THERE’S MORE:

Exactly as originally predicted in

LADA RAY REPORT: End of Olympics? Plot to Remove Russia from #RioOlympics!

250 Russian star athletes from the Olympic team (sports other than track-and-field) that still made it to Rio are now being sabotaged, while attempting to concentrate on their last preparations for the upcoming competition.

There is an ongoing plot to make #RioOlympics participation for clean Russian athletes as difficult as possible by crushing their spirit through relentless psychological pressure, suspicion and treating them like guinea pigs through incessant new doping tests.

Breaking news 8/1/16: #IOC flip-flops last moment on its earlier decision that each individual sport should determine whether Russian athletes are allowed to compete. IOC suddenly rules that each Russian athlete in Rio will have to be considered for participation by a panel of three judges: that’s 250+ athletes and 4 days before the start of competition.


Blatant discrimination and double standards: Russian athletes tested nearly 5400 times more than Americans (especially striking gap due to the fact that US team is more numerous than Russian)

The new info coming in: Russian athletes in Rio have been tested and retested so relentlessly that they don’t have time to train or sleep. This is part of the sabotage I’ve predicted in my original report!

And we are talking perfectly clean Russian athletes, who never failed a test in their life, or whose sport – such as gymnastics (artistic and rhythmic), synchronized swimming, diving, horse riding, etc. – doesn’t benefit from doping. Let’s also emphasize that Russians are favorites in most of these sports that don’t benefit from doping, having won ALL or the majority of gold medals in rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming.

the All-Ukrainian Russian Orthodox March for Peace in Donbass started on July 3, one in the east (Donbass), another in the west (Ternopol) of Ukraine. Both marched on foot to Kiev, where they converged and joined forces.

The name for this unique event, which on a smaller scale regularly takes place for special occasions in Russian Orthodox churches, is Крестный ход (Krestniy Khod). However, the size and scope of this particular happening is unprecedented.

Some incorrectly translate Крестный ход to English as ‘a crusade.’ In reality, the right translation would be a ‘peaceful pilgrimage’ with the elements of a ‘march.’  The purpose of such event is multi-prong: to atone for personal and collective sins of humans; to ask for forgiveness and seek god’s and Divine Mother’s protection; to declare the desire for unity and peace.

Technically, initially – some time in 9th-10th century or so – a Catholic ‘crusade’ did signify the same as Крестный ход. However, the meaning of a crusade was irreparably tarnished as a result of aggressive Crusades by violent Western/Catholic knights against Jerusalem, Constantinople, Middle East and Russia with the expressed purpose of looting and conquest. Therefore, the word ‘crusade’ acquired a decidedly negative and derogatory connotation.

A reader asked me if these were two separate branches of Orthodox Church that wanted to show their unity by converging in Kiev. No, this is the same Russian Orthodox Church: its Ukrainian branch. This march united all those in Ukraine who belong to the Russian Orthodox Church, with Patriarchy in Moscow. This is the dominant religion in Ukraine.

However, there is a breakaway branch of ‘Ukrainian Orthodox Church,’ unrecognized by other Orthodox Churches and world religions. There is also a very confusing ‘Greek-Catholic’ Church, primarily in Western Ukraine, where the Vatican penetrated when those territories belonged to Poland and Austria-Hungary. The latter is essentially Catholicism with some Orthodox stuff thrown in to camouflage its real essence. Both of these have been thriving and greatly expanding since 2014 Kiev coup. They both support the ‘right sector’ and Bandera ukro-nazis; both are Russophobic. Neither of these two were a party to this All-Ukrainian march.

There is a big problem in Ukraine with these two breakaway (shall we call them separatist?) religions: using nationalists and ukro-nazis, they attack regular Orthodox churches and monasteries, beat up, kill or expel Batyushkas (priests), threaten congregations and take over such churches for themselves. The problem is being silenced or quietly supported by Poroshenko and his junta. Russian State and the Russian Church have been trying to appeal to Catholic and other religions, as well as to Western leaders to help restore justice. The West – as usual – is silent.

There were many threats against this All-Ukraine March for Peace, and not only from ukro-nazis, but also from Ukraine government officials. Ukraine’s minister of interior Arsen Avakov and his advisor Gerashchenko posted threats against march participants on their Facebook pages; recommendations to attack and kill the marchers sounded from some Ukraine parliament deputies. Rotten eggs were thrown, fake bombs were set up on the way. Odessa pilgrims were threatened to be BURNED ALIVE inside buses they were boarding to get to Kiev (recall Odessa May 2, 2014 Kulikovo Polie tragedy when people were burned alive)! Attempts to intimidate pilgrims, disrupt the march and block it from entering Kiev were made by ukro-nazis from fascist OUN/UPA.

...

While the dark forces that took over Ukraine ran to their Mediterranean villas or hid in their holes, an extraordinary situation took place in Kiev as one hundred thousand people joined the march through its streets. Previously, ten thousand joined the march when it traveled through Kharkov, and thousands joined it in every town and city it passed. In every town, including Kiev, volunteers cooked free meals and prepared tea for pilgrims. Kiev, for the first time since the bloody February 2014 coup, turned into a city of peace and unity. Observers noted that the energy during the march was incredibly high. And they are absolutely right.
