7. The whole earth rests, is at peace, shouts for joy; 8. And the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying: “Since you fell asleep, no one has come to cut us down.” The whole earth. Here you can see an indication that the earth also seems to sympathize with the joy of the Jews: it is not a little

Chapter 1554: Why should you cut off your hand?

Chapter 1554: Why should you cut off your hand? Allah Almighty said: “And cut off the hands of the thief and the thief...” (“Meal”, 38).2069 (6789). It is reported from the words of ‘Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: “A hand should be cut off for (theft of) something

The West continues to report in measured doses on the consequences of the events of February 7-8 and the next few days, when the coalition and the Kurds achieved a bridgehead on the left bank of the Euphrates. A message arrived about the explosion of a large ammunition depot in Tabiye (Deir ez-Zor), during which 15 Russian military personnel were killed. The message does not say which military personnel we are talking about - regulars or private soldiers.

There are two nuances to the news.

The first is the source. The notorious London Rahman Observatory. The source is not reliable, but at the very least it cannot be dismissed - through Rahman, quite accurate information is being released by the British, who are directly involved in the coalition both with their air force and the work of special forces. Anyway, .

The second nuance is that regulars also took part in the attack on Konoko Russian army from the MTR. They were reported several times before the offensive, but the number is unknown. Taking into account the fact that the Americans significantly mixed up the entire attacking group with sand, and judging by the losses, regular military personnel could easily have died in this mess. Just for company. At the same time, the Americans stubbornly insist on the version that in all their calls to their Russian colleagues, they categorically denied the presence of regulars in the column going to Konoko.

It is possible and necessary to hide the dead military personnel, but take them out of the scope of the operation. It is possible (and this does not seem surprising) that the partners came to an agreement on this issue and they carried them out of Kisham to Tabiyah. Fortunately, it’s very close. Well, as for just bombing some warehouse to cover up the issue - no problem.

To understand the situation, it is necessary to clarify that the team of Putin’s oligarch, who went to “squeeze the plant,” as was said in intercepted telephone conversations about the incident that were distributed on the Internet, did not just go to some “factory.” Conoco belonged to and was built at one time by the famous and very large American oil and gas company ConocoPhillps, then nationalized by the father of the current President Assad, and now the Americans have taken their property back. And, naturally, they protect it and do not intend to give it away. Now imagine the situation: you finally took yours, and then some merry gang comes to take yours away from you. Here, by all standards, the States were obliged to roll out anyone who encroached on the master's property. And they rolled it out.

To justify the oligarch, we can say that he could have been completely unaware of the situation. And how do these guys from the gates know the nuances of the territory in which they pirate. And in general, if someone thinks that the oligarchs have a lot of money, and they recruit the very best into their security services or analytical departments, then this, of course, is not entirely true. The same security service of Deripaska - no matter how much money they pay her, they couldn’t keep track of some prostitute, and hello: the boss now has problems.

A smart people The lads competing with the oligarch could simply set him up, unobtrusively inviting him to squeeze out a useful factory from the gypsies and improve his financial situation a little. And they set him up with cooler brothers. That's the whole simple background. Another question is that the tough guys treated Putin’s brother, who had lost his shores, too harshly, and now they have to cut loose ends.

In general, the SOHR news may well be true, but with some minor deviations from reality. But who cares about these details?

In fact, it would probably be more correct to title the article “Cutting ties with Ukraine is insane.” Why am I saying this? There are millions of threads connecting Russia and Ukraine. Yes, we are simply one people flesh and blood, the same blood flows in our veins. Long before Bogdan Khmelnitsky, we were one state, people of the same blood. And no matter what political events happen now that divide us into Ukrainians and Russians, we will still remain of the same blood. It seems to me that from these very positions we should always help Ukraine, and not put a spoke in its wheels when the opportunity arises. Unfortunately, we do not always adhere to this, despite the fact that friendliness is a custom among Russians.
In the midst of the election campaign in Ukraine, when the question was being decided whether the five-year government, which betrayed the interests of the Ukrainian people of Poroshenko, would be replaced by the new, albeit still incomprehensible to anyone, government of Zelensky, the head of the Russian government, Dmitry Medvedev, said that Moscow was responding to the expansion of Kiev list of Russian goods prohibited for import, decided to ban the export of oil and petroleum products to Ukraine. Why is such a decision, which affects not only the business of Ukraine, but also affects the long-declining welfare of ordinary people, taken by Russia precisely during the break between the first and second rounds of voting to elect a new president of Ukraine? Who does this play into the hands of: the outgoing president or the new one?
Yes, the new president, and as we already know, Vladimir Zelensky, is a “dark horse” for us. But Petro Poroshenko clearly turned out to be an enemy of the Ukrainian people and led them to impoverishment. And here is a new, young, admittedly comedian, showman, but still elected by popular vote. So how should we, a brotherly country, act now? Is it really possible to laugh, or threaten, to impose sanctions that a young, inexperienced president in politics and economics will not be able to cope with? Is it really possible to cut down those weak ties that we still have with Ukraine and only because during the election campaign the position of candidate Zelensky was not entirely clear, but we emphasized that he considers our president his enemy, that he wants to return to Ukraine Crimea and withdraw our troops from Donbass? All this was said by the presidential candidate in the heat of the election campaign, when you could say anything, without having the slightest experience in political struggle.
But now, the votes have been counted. The result is obvious - Zelensky was elected as the new president. And he was congratulated on his victory even before the end of voting based on the results of exit pools, that is, polls of voters after leaving the polling stations, by Poroshenko himself, who admitted his defeat, by the presidents of the USA, France, Poland, and the Chancellor of Germany. Russian artists, who were prohibited from performing concerts in Ukraine, congratulated Zelensky and expressed hope for improved relations between Ukraine and Russia. Even Crimea responded approvingly with hope for the best: “Vladimir Zelensky, who wins the presidential elections in Ukraine, can visit Russian Crimea to understand and recognize the choice of the Crimeans made in favor of Russia,” said the head of the Crimean parliament’s committee on interethnic relations, Yuri Hempel. They understand that the new president of Ukraine, inexperienced in politics, must see with his own eyes the voluntary transfer of Crimea to Russia, associated, first of all, with the introduction of restrictions on the use of the Russian language on the territory of Ukraine.
Well, how did Russia react? “The Kremlin considers it premature to talk about Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s congratulations to Vladimir Zelensky on his victory in the presidential elections in Ukraine and the possibility of working together with him; they will be judged on specific cases,” Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters. What specific cases can be discussed if the inauguration of the new president takes place only in a month? But it is already known that, for example, the Kiev court suspended the decision to rename the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which Poroshenko insisted on. It is also known that the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine began to summon high-ranking officials from Poroshenko’s entourage for questioning to bring charges of embezzlement against them. And what else can we expect?
I think Russia should set the tone in everything connected with our fraternal state and its new president. And then the representative of the US State Department on Ukraine issues, Kurt Volker, spoke in favor of direct dialogue between the elected President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Don’t we want this ourselves? Or are we still waiting for the elections to be invalid, either due to fraud in the counting of votes, or due to false tests taken by presidential candidates? Anything is possible. But we shouldn't be late. Wouldn't you cut off the weak strings of the song of friendship? After all, Ukraine has always needed and needs our support. Our help must be the first, the most necessary, the most sincere, even if their elected leaders sometimes talk nonsense.

They also say in Rus': Breaking is not building. It's much easier, but worse.

Cut off the ends Simple. Express To decisively end something (usually: habits, attachments, inclinations). It's been seven years since his wife left him. And, it would seem, it is high time to overcome his grief and cut off the ends of his heartfelt affection, but he cannot, and does not want to do this. He remains true to this feeling(G. Sinelnikova. New role).
