Latynina on the Russian military moves against Ukraine:
This leads us to another topic - to the concentration of troops on the Ukrainian border and a bunch of videos in the social media of movement of Russian armour. e "potentially imminent crisis".
And an increase in the level of alert of the European command of the US Armed Forces, which has been raised this level to "potentially imminent crisis".
And everyone began to play the game of guess whether there will be a new invasion of Ukraine or not. Frankly, I find it somehow hard to imagine that Putin will order an invasion while he is negotiating with Macron and Merkel about exporting to the west the Sputnik V vaccine.
But, if they reject his "Sputnik", well, then maybe. But what is happening is, in fact, exactly what your humble subject predicted here a couple of weeks ago, when, you remember, Iranian mullahs, who are ready to let Biden make a deal with them only under the condition
that he kisses their feet and pays reparations for Trump.
And they then reminded him of their demands by shelling American bases (which did not happen under Trump).
And at first, Biden even consulted on this, and after a long consultation he replied to this shelling, but only after previously warning the Russian command. And then the Iranian "miners and tractor drivers" shelled again the American base - and this time Biden did nothing.
In general, I think that it is not necessary to be a great strategist to understand what conclusions the entire Association of Rogues, from North Korea to the Kremlin, made this.
And, it seems to me that after Biden did not respond to these Iranian provocations, he, received a response from Russia. This is a response as well as well as escalation: Biden said "killer" so take this. And, of course, this is also a move in relations with the West.
"You want to talk about Navalny? We will make you talk about Ukraine. " That is, this kills the topic. Because Putin has got a huge international problem - Navalny.
And this problem, I remind you, he created himself. Because - I, of course, in general, the tactics of the non-silovik Kremlin tower, was to completely ignore Navalny, and actually, in the situation that emerged
the tactics of all these vile PR'ists was correct. They were always saying that, ah, this is some blogger, he is a nobody, we know nothing about him. Well, how much views did "Dimon" get - 43? Well, and good. Well, that's OK, Comedy Club gets 10 million.
And, of course, a couple of years ago, and even a year ago, even in Putin's most terrible dream, Macron, Biden and Merkel would not ask him: "What's happing with Navalny?"
Because the strategy, conventionally speaking, the PR and politological towers of the Kremlin, was to cut off potential trouble before it starts.
And thus, these Putin PR people made Putin the representative of the only legitimate reality.

But, as I have said many times, the regime is characterized by the fact that it has a mass of loyal Putinists who by no means solve Putin's problems, but, on the contrary,
they pretend that they are solving the Putin theme, but in fact they are solving their own problems and increase their status, and in fact they create a lot of problems for Putin,
including the very security forces who defended themselves against a pensioner's airsoft grenades.
And now let's imagine that some of them come to Putin and say: “We have such a poison, such a poison that no one else has. And you cannot identiry it. And we will be the first in the world!
Let's create departments, institutions, detachments to eliminate the enemies of the Fatherland! " Well, listen, it's nice to have a poison that no one else has in the world. Because well, Russia does not have its own iPhones, its own nanochips, its own good electronics.
Even petrochemicals are bad. Already Saudi Arabia is building petrochemical plants. But, it's true, we have Sibur. And we have a secret poison. And the king had this poison put on his envious arrows. So cool! Such a compensation!
But, then, naturally, a problem arises that since there is poison, it must be tested somehow. Well, it seems there is some kind of Skripal, a traitor, who continues to damage the Motherland.
In fact, this Skripal is living near London watching ORT and is a loyal supporter of Putin. I remind you that when Skripal worked for the GRU, he worked in the personnel department and, in fact, sold some lists of intelligence officers, because this lot sells whatever they
have that can be sold. If he worked at Gazprom he would have sold something else. But since Skripal was there, they also had to explain how terrible this Skripal continues to be, what terrible damage he is causing.
Recall that unfortunate man who was killed in Dagestan, who led some Lezgi movement, whose level was like: "Let's build a sandbox in the courtyard of the house." He was, of course, described as a terribly dangerous person, he would separate the Lezgins from Russia.
That is, in every possible way, in order to exaggerate the importance of their work, they inflate the status of their victims. They always say that they are fighting the Serpent Gorynych, with Medusa the Gorgon.
Then, they came and said : let's settle with Navalny. And then, it turns out, in the course of all these operations, that together with Skripal, due to their complete unprofessionalism, they poisoned his daughter, and that Petrov and Bashirov
revealed themselves, and that they passports were found in a list with almost 200 names. Thus all the people with these passports were automatically exposed.
And then it turned out that they transferred money for the coup in Montenegro through Western Union and gave the postal address of the GRU headquarters as the return address.
And when Navalny survives, a simple question arises: How did Navalny survive the field of this terrible poison, this terrible Novichok? And the answer is very simple: exactly because that was "Novichok".
Because when these experts found, how terrible polonium is, how terrible Novichok is, they somehow failed, apparently, to explain to the boss that Novichok was conceived as a weapon of mass destruction, and that the small
dose of Novichok , which is needed to kill a person, automatically makes it of little use as a method of individual poisoning,
because with such small doses you run the risk of poisoning a lot of of people, which, in fact, happened during the poisoning of the Skripals or failing to poison the intended person, which happened during the first attempt to poison Navalny when Yulia Navalna was the victim .

One of the greatest achievements of 21st century science was due to this American-French alliance (the only time two women shared a Nobel prize). But there were other aspects of the story of the discovery of CRISPR-CAS that are worthy of note. Francisco Mojica was the first
researcher who discovered and named CRISPR (a family of DNA sequences used by some bacteria to defend themselves from viruses) but his breakthrough paper was rejected by 4 major scientific journals before finally being published (after 2 years) by a less prestigious one. And
the same thing happened when in 2012 Lithuanian biochemist Virginijus Šikšnys submitted his paper on programmable DNA cleavage, the same idea that gave Charpentier and Doudna their Nobel prize. His work was rejected and published after a long delay. Charpentier and Doudna

Latynina on America's first "Five Year Plan":
Well, and, of course, I cannot but congratulate the United States on the announcement of its first Five-Year Plan. They already had introduced commissars some time ago. I mean the Department of Equity and Inclusion, which was
created by the States Department. But now they also have a Five-Year Plan, which assignes, among other things, 20 billion dollars for elimination of racist highways". By the way, did you know that highways can be racist? And it turns out, such highways do happen. The New York
Times and other organs of the Democratic Party greeted this plan with headlines that remind us of the best examples of North Korean art.

Here is Yulia Latynina on this:
"And all sorts of oppositionists began to scoff at these heroes, who spent a whole day battling one guy. And I want to explain one simple thing to you. Of course, perhaps, it could have been eliminated as quickly as possible.
But understand, all these people - "Thunder", "Lynx", "Bulat", "Zubr" - what do they want? Of course, they want to receive a medal for their participation in this operation.
Because, on the one hand, when you beat up a crowd of girls in an alley who shout “We are without weapons,” on the one hand, it is pleasant, but, on the other hand, it is difficult to get many medals for it.

Napoleon said that had it not been for the Revolution, he would have become a scientist. He also stated that would have like to solve the problem that troubled Newton - or as he put it “Newton explained how the planets attract one another but not why they do so”. Laplace, who had
taught young Napoleon and probably wrote the famous characterization of him (see below) thought him intellectually completely capable of this.
Indeed, on a famous occasion Napoleon surprised Lagrange & Laplace by telling them of mathematical discoveries he learnt about in Italy, they had not heard about.

For those who understand Russian are are interested both in history of WWII and details of military technology (both engineering and science behind it) there is a fantastic new series of talks by Mark Solonin on his YouTube channel

Mark Solonin is the
most important independent historian of WWII on the Eastern Front, as well as a professional aviation engineer and aircraft designer. He begins with a detailed account of the history of the development of the atom bomb, with technical details of the science behind it and
the engineering of making one. As he says, the basic details of the first generation of atomic weapons are on Wikipedia (based mostly on reverse engineering) but there is also a lot of disinformation about the working of later technology. This is the first of the series,

Illarionov on Biden’s speech (text of which is given in English and Russian on his blog: aillarionov.livejournal.com/1222786.html ) 1/
“Biden's assessment of Putin has been widely quoted.
However, few people seem to have read his answer in full.

If you get acquainted with the full, uncut text of Biden's interview then the meaning of what was said becomes clear.
“Yes, he's a killer. He will pay a price. You will see it soon. He has done bad things. I will not say what I will do, but he will understand. We must be able to "walk and chew gum at the same time" at the same time.
