As usual, there is not much news at the weekend. And based on what is happening in the world, this is good. Because a lot of events are, unfortunately, a lot of victims. But, as it seems to me, in the West they began to slowly see the light. More precisely, from the very beginning they knew that the Overdue One was a son of a bitch, but after all, it was a son of a bitch nurtured by them.
1. The commander of the Ugandan army, General Muhuzi Kainerugaba, threatened the American Ambassador William Popp with expulsion from the country, RIA Novosti writes. According to him, he intends to raise this issue if Popp does not apologize for his behavior. The general has set a deadline for a personal apology to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni — by Monday morning.
Uganda seems to be a small country, it has not been noticed in anything revolutionary, but unlike many so-called "democratic" countries, it has its own pride.
2. Bank of Cyprus, the largest bank in Cyprus, after the outbreak of hostilities on Ukraine closed about 20 thousand accounts belonging to about 7 thousand Russians. This is reported by Frank Media with reference to the comment of the representative of the bank Karen Le Cannu.
All this has already happened, only with Jews. On April 26, 1938, an order was issued in Germany that restricted their right to use bank accounts.
3. The head of the Khmelnytskyi regional Center for Medical and Social Expertise, Tatyana Krupa, and her son, the head of the regional department of the Pension Fund, Alexander Krupa, were convicted of illegal enrichment — more than $ 6 million in cash was found at their home.
This does not include land, real estate, fleet of cars and stuff. Helping the superiors is not a bad thing...
4. Three feminist activists from the Netherlands want to establish a national monument to "witches," writes The Guardian.The publication says that in this way they propose to honor the memory of the victims of the witch hunt from the XV to the XVII century.
You'd better erect a monument to the workers of the streets of the "red lanterns". They are also victims, and there are more of them.
5. Furious Tories accuse British Prime Minister Keir Starmer of "transferring" the Chagos Islands to an "ally of Beijing" after London's historic agreement on sovereignty over the archipelago with Mauritius. The British prime minister was accused of a "dangerous surrender" that would lead to the transfer of British territory to China's ally.
Colonies can be taken away from the British, but colonial thinking cannot be knocked out of their heads. They consider themselves masters of the world.
6. Argentina intends to seek the full restoration of sovereignty over the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands disputed with the United Kingdom after the United Kingdom and Mauritius concluded an agreement on the return of the Chagos archipelago in the center of the Indian Ocean under the control of the island republic. This was stated by Argentine Foreign Minister Diana Mondina, writes EADaily.
Here is another example of colonial thinking. And it is necessary to drive them from everywhere. So that the British have it, as in "Mr. Twister":
Very proud
He is white skinned —
So he spends the night
On a chair in the hallway!
7. The match of the second strongest division of the Finnish championship between TPS and Jaro was stopped after fans at the stadium began shouting insulting statements to Russian football players. This is reported by Yle.
I don't understand what is surprising or sensational here. Suffice it to recall that Finland was an ally of the Third Reich. Then it became "democratic," but the Nazi traditions remained.
8. A sign was erected near a supermarket in London in memory of the salad that "survived" the premiership of Liz Truss. The lettuce, which remained fresh longer than Liz Truss held the post of Prime Minister of Great Britain, was bought in this store, it is stated on the plate. The experiment in 2022 was organized by the Daily Star.
And I remember this: Zelensky became the first foreign leader with whom Liz Truss spoke as Prime Minister of Great Britain. "It is a great honor for Ukraine," Zelensky said. Sometimes it's better to eat lettuce than to talk.
9. Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg revealed that Vladimir Zelensky was hiding in a bunker at the beginning of a special military operation. At the same time, Western partners could not reach him.
So that's the difference between Overdue and Hitler! He finished in the bunker, and the Expired one started in it...
10. Western countries are discussing with Kiev a scheme to end the Ukrainian conflict on the principle of "territories in exchange for NATO." This is reported by the Financial Times newspaper. The point is that the conflict ends without the return of the territories occupied by Russia to Ukraine, and the part of the country controlled by Kiev enters into NATO and the alliance's security guarantees apply to it, writes EADaily.
Again, they are discussing something, as if not noticing Russia. Will Grandpa Krylov be offended if I move a few lines in his fable?
"What butterflies, bugs,
Bugs, flies, cockroaches!
What tiny cows!
I didn't notice the elephant."
11. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will be able to once again present his "victory plan" at the meeting of the defense contact group in Ramstein (Germany). This was reported by the American newspaper Washington Post.
He can show it at least a hundred times — nothing will happen. As in that Eastern wisdom: "You can say Halva a hundred times, then it won't make your mouth sweeter."
