BAIKONUR SPACE CENTER, Kazakhstan, June 14, 2017 (Roscosmos PR) — The launch vehicle (LV) Soyuz-2.1a with cargo spacecraft Progress МS-06 successfully lifted off from Baikonur Space Center at 12:20 MT.
According the flight program, the first three stages of Soyuz-2.1a have taken the cargo spacecraft into low orbit just short of eight minutes and forty-eight seconds after liftoff. Korolev Mission Control Center specialists have taken the further Progress MS-06 flight to ISS under control.
According to telemetry data, the spacecraft insertion into low-Earth orbit and separation from the third stage of the launch vehicle occurred on schedule, deployment of all antennas and solar array panels was detected immediately after the separation. Systems and assemblies of the spacecraft operate normally.
The docking of Progress MS-06 to ISS module Zvezda is scheduled at 14:42 MT June 16, 2017. The ISS docking process will be in automatic mode under control of Russian ISS commander Feodor YURCHIKHIN and specialists of Russian ISS segment flight control group in Korolev MCC.
The vehicle will deliver to the ISS about 2.5 tons of various cargo, including «dry» cargo, propellant in the combined propulsion system and refueling system tanks, water and compressed gases.
Over 70 small satellites will be orbited by a Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket together with a Fregat booster as associated payload under the Kanopus-V-IK space mission, Glavcosmos, the Russian operator of launch services, said on its website on Wednesday.
The satellites will differ by their format: from space vehicles of the 1U CubeSat type to micro-satellites weighing up to 120 kilograms to be launched in the interests of foreign customers from the United States, Germany, Japan, Canada and Norway.

GENEVA, June 13. /TASS/. More than 10,000 people have been killed and about 24,000 injured in Ukraine since the conflict in the east began in mid-April, 2014, the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said in a quarterly report on Ukraine, published in Kiev and Geneva on Tuesday.
However, Poroshenko says that he is against stopping the Ukrainian war on Donbass.
Petro Poroshenko’s press center issued a statement in which Poroshenko promises to come up with a new law on “reintegration of Donbass.” He says that the war on Donbass will be continued, as a part of the defense of Ukraine. He also stated that the reintegration of Donbass shows some positive results, among them the named the sanctions on Russia.
======================
Since the Ukraine now is an associated member of the European Union, and the Kiev authorities have been conducting a war on the Russian population of Ukraine for the last three years without any concern from the Western European nations, it brings up a question that might be at the center of a new lawsuit against the NATO members who bombed Serbia in 1999: are the Western countries conducting the genocide of the Slavic people?
‘Up to 15 tons of depleted uranium used in 1999 Serbia bombing’ – lead lawyer in suit against NATO
“The NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 used between 10 and 15 tons of depleted uranium, which caused a major environmental disaster,” said Srdjan Aleksic, a Serbian lawyer who leads the legal team, which includes lawyers from the EU, Russia, China and India. The legal team was formed by the Serbian Royal Academy of Scientists and Artists.
“In Serbia, 33,000 people fall sick because of this every year. That is one child every day,” he claimed.
When asked as of why Serbia has decided to sue NATO 19 years after the attacks, the lawyer said “considering the horrific consequences for our population… it is never too late to sue someone who has caused an environmental catastrophe, someone [who] bombed Serbia with a quasi-nuclear weapon, i.e. depleted uranium.”
The Serbian lawyer says 19 countries that were part of NATO at the time need to pay compensation for “for the financial and non-financial damages… to all the citizens who died or fell sick as a proven result of the NATO bombing.”
Codenamed “Operation Allied Force,” it was the largest attack ever undertaken by the alliance and the first time that NATO used military force without the approval of the UN Security Council and against a sovereign nation that did not pose a real threat to any member of the alliance.
In the course of the campaign, NATO launched 2,300 missiles at almost 1,000 targets and dropped 14,000 bombs, including depleted uranium bombs and cluster munitions.
More than 2,000 civilians were killed, including 88 children, and thousands more were injured. Over 200,000 ethnic Serbs were forced to leave their homeland in Kosovo.
The official NATO operation code name was Operation Allied Force; the United States called it Operation Noble Anvil.

We can see that none of these countries was a Slavic country. However, they got together to bomb a defenseless Slavic nation and called this operation “noble anvil.” An anvil is a cast-iron block with a hard surface on which another object is struck. “Noble” this is a term that the Western Europeans have using to describe their wars on the Slavic nations. The term directly implies that a murder of the Slavic people is somehow a “dignifying act.”
In conjunction with this upcoming lawsuit, many in Russia suggest that time has come when we have to address an issue of the genocide of the Slavic people that the Western non-Slavic nations have been conducting all through the 20th century and at the first quarter of the 21st century.
| On June 14th, while answering the question about the anti-Russia sanctions proposed by the US Congress, Vyacheslav Volodin, a Chairman of the State Duma, explained that the Western countries use the economic anti-Russia sanctions due to the Western genetic repulsion towards the Slavic people. He literally said, due to their “pathological hatred towards Slavic nations.”
The Moscow Times translated as “Sanctions Are Result of West’s ‘Contempt’ For Slavs.” “This goes far beyond anything reasonable,” Volodin said, adding “those who stand behind these sanctions can be suspected of fighting against the Slavs.” The statement comes after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed extending sanctions against Belarus yesterday and U.S. senators reached a bipartisan agreement on the extension and expansion of sanctions against Russia that would target Russia’s oil and gas export. Leaving for Minsk to preside over the Russia-Belarus Union State Parliamentary Assembly, Volodin asked journalists:“You have to ask them why they so genetically dislike Slavic people”. He also added that this kind of treatment of the Slavic nations won’t end well. |
Good health to you, Vladimir Vladimirovich.
I have a short question, but one that has a tremendous value for at least four generations of the Russian people.
It is well known that the entire world is stubbornly ignores the other side of the Second world war in which the Nazis had committed the monstrous acts of genocide of the Slavic people. The West is fanning an issue of the Holocaust, which consists in the destruction of one third of all Jews, but at the same time nothing is being said about how many Russian people were killed. And this despite the fact that the number of killed Slavs by far exceeds the number of killed Jews, and they themselves, and Europe and the rest of the world were liberated by no one, but the Russian soldiers.
It’s not difficult to understand why the West refuses to recognize the Russian Holocaust. What is a big mystery to most people in our country, why don’t we insist on them to do so.
Where are the world museums of Russian, Serbian, Belarusian and, in general, museums of the Holocaust of the Slavic nations? Where are repayments (at least morally) from our “friends and partners” for so much suffering and great sacrifice what they inflicted upon us? Unfortunately, there is nothing at all.
Mr. President, like many citizens of our country, I would very much like to see something being done.
It’s time for us to decide on this key issue for the future of our country and nation. It’s time for our state to seriously demand from the world to recognize the genocide of the Slavic people that took place.”

Call it anything you want, an intense hatred, dislike, prejudice or racism, but the Western attitude towards Slavic nations doesn’t go unnoticed.

Moscow will give an “adequate response” to US attempts to deploy missile defense elements near its borders, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in the second part of The Putin Interviews documentary, aired by Showtime.
“We will keep this strategic balance. Balance is a very important thing,” he said.
The Russian president said that US missile defense facilities, currently being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea, in Eastern Europe and other regions can be transformed into strike facilities “in minutes, maybe in a few hours.”
“Practically the entire territory of Russia will be surrounded by these systems,” Putin said. “In fact, this is another great strategic mistake by our partners. Because Russia will give an adequate response to all these actions.”
“At the same time, our response will be a lot cheaper,” he has stressed.
All the “Topols-M” and “YARSs”
The Russia’s MOD reports about that this summer maneuvers planed to be conducted in the framework of the summer training program. However, the number involved in this drill is unusual: ten missile regiments with 90 launchers, almost the entire Arsenal of ballistic missiles for mobile ground complexes.

In case you have forgotten what happened in Ukraine, this book should refresh your memory with the incredibly precise and humorous chronicles: ANTHOLOGY OF RUSSIAN HUMOR: FROM MAIDAN TO TRUMP
I remember I was a brain-washed teenager fed on a junk diet of Time Magazine, to which my Dad subscribed, and CNN, when NATO bombed Serbia. At the time, I thought the Serbs were the ‘bad guys’ and the Bosnians ‘the victims’. I’m very ashamed to say that I was somewhat happy at the time that NATO was bombing Serbia. I do remember, though, being worried as to how Russia would react. It was only words, no action.
How much my views have changed since. I’m now ashamed to be a Westerner, am horrified by NATO and admire the courage of the Russian people in standing up to the criminal, media-supported Atlanticists. Thank God for Russia. And let the Serbs determine their own fate.
I, being older, was working for the army of one of the attacking nato states, and we knew what we were seeing…and a silly few people smiled with false pride, while we chatted with “Fritz” in the main machine shop
Fritz was drafted into the nazi army in ’44, from the hitler youth. 14? Maybe younger…and survived the Russian Front (well, it was not static for Fritz…)
He got the lesson…do not attack the Slavic People…”Stupid” he said…and more. His PTSD was always near to surface…and even the little he spoke brought terrible tremors and clattering teeth and his hands sought out the hard candy he always carried. Fritz had made, he said, the error of firing his 8mm rifle at a T34, which fired back…hence the awful experiences of a child-now-old standing at his lathe, making parts for the White Tigers… Pity. Fritz also made the error of not falling back – which is how he came to be alone against a tank at 14….and he evidently survived because the Red Army saved him, not that he liked it…he got back to Germany in 1955, I think…
Anyway he said it would lead…well, to “Fritz” the kid all over again…
I suppose he must be gone by now…
……….
“Sanctions”…did not the Sea Peoples from the North raid Russia every Summer?
Is that a “sanction”? Rape and pillage is not a “sanction”?
No argument, just considering that stealing and raping is a negative sort of action, and maybe it has evolved…evolved into “economic” or “prohibitions” in law…or what’s said to be law…
When, exactly, did these raids of one sort or another stop?
Did they stop?
The first sanctions against Slavic peoples were imposed in 805:
“805, December 24: Charlemagne prohibited in Diedenhofener Kapitular, a royal assembly, the arms trade with Slavic peoples. Along the “Slavs border” that stretches from Lüneburg Bardowick to Lorch in Linz country, all cities will be asked: “That they do not export arms and Brünnen (Panzer, jw) for sale.””

One of the oldest Slavic songs is a war song that has been verbally passed on to the next generation for over 1000 years: “Serbja so do Nĕmcow hotowachu”(Sorbs are preparing [for war] against Germans). The German “Drang nach Osten” to conquer “Lebensraum” is over 1200 years old:

http://www.lagis-hessen.de/img/ga/s3/14.jpg
Even before there was a German Reich in 1848/49 most German politicians wanted war against Russia:
“The anti-Slavic or anti-Russian mission
…
On July 25, 1848, Wilhelm Jordan called the deputies in the Polendebatte of the Paulskirchenversammlung to finally get to a “healthy Volkssegoismus”. “In the East,” the Germans repeatedly succeeded in making “conquests of the sword” and the “ploughshare” over the course of history. The Germans could and should confide in this “right to conquest” (RfdN, Vol. 2: 1145 f.).
Another parliamentarian spoke of the “holy war”, which should in any case be carried out “between the culture of the West and the barbarism of the East” (Wollstein 1977: 303). [ 41 ] Another stated: “If ever war were to come, there would be a war between Germans and Slavs” (RfdN, Vol. 4: 2779). [ 42 ] Heinrich von Gagern wrote in retrospect about the period of the bourgeois revolution:
The war with Russia, for the sake of the Baltic Sea and the East Seeprovinzen, around Poland, about the Danube and the oriental conditions … was the most popular of all Germany (cf. Valentin 1977, vol. 1: 544).
Bakunin reported that “the senseless cry of the Germans against the Slavs” had been heard most loudly in the Frankfurt Parliament in 1848-49. This would not have had anything to do with democracy, but had been “the call of German national egoism.” The Germans had for a long time been accustomed to regard the “Slavs” as their own, and they maintained that they had to “hold them under the stick” in order to discipline them (cf M.W 18: 609). Bakunin remarked:
In this hatred of the Slavs, in this Slavic confrontation, all parties (1848/49) were unanimous; … The loudest cries were the Democrats against the Slavs: in newspapers and pamphlets, in parliaments and popular assemblies, in the clubs, beer kinks and on the street… Such a noise was so incessant a storm that the Slavs, (Bakunin 1973: 137 f.), Which would have killed all of them.
The hatred of Russia was marked by Bakunin as one of the “strongest nationalities in Germany” (cf n. MEW 18: 613).
The speeches of the Paulskirchenversammlung document how much an alleged “Slavic danger” was regarded as a threat to German culture and German economic power. Six decades later, this danger became a justification for the alleged necessity of the First World War (Lammich 1978: 3, 5).”

In the 90s German leaders demanded more Lebensraum in the East again:
“expansion to the East”
“outwards it is essential to achieve something whereby we have failed twice before”
“Without Germany it is impossible to integrate the East European peoples.”
“We must force Serbia to its knees.”

The genetic hatred of Slavs makes sense for Germany, but not for America. For us it’s a broad hatred of ANYTHING that stands in our way. We’re just psychotic genocidal killers who can’t TOLERATE any sign of independence in the world.
Russia has always managed to stay independent while globalists (France, England, Germany, Japan, USA) take turns attacking it. Each empire takes on the job for about a decade, fails miserably, then hands it off to another psychotic empire. You’d think they might learn, but psychotics don’t learn.
It’s all the time the same ’empire’ (organized crime syndicate, sect of psychopaths). Since about the 17th century). They ran the British (AngloZionist) Empire, were behind both Napoleon and Hitler, and their headquarters is the Nazi BIS in Basel)
The ex-bankster and insider Ronald Bernard does a beautiful job exposing and confirming that this mafia (of about 8000 men) is responsible for the unbelievable misery, rat race, terror and tyranny and destruction in and of the world since especially the 17th c.
Irma Schiffers interviews Ronald Bernard (part 2) . . . https://youtu.be/3C-KHt9vi5k
Yars and its derivatives keep the psychotic Western masters in check. The fear of “lakes of glass” promised to Germans by one retreating Soviet/Russian general in the early nineties is the only thing making the crazy bosses in the West at bay.
Serbs being the closest Russian-like nation to the western crazies are always at the receiving end of those that would like to do to Russians what they have been doing to Serbs.
But what saddens me is the amount of treason among us Serbs and Russians.
MOSCOW, June 15. /TASS/. Advanced Russian weapons systems have been put to a test in conditions of the military operation in Syria and the experiences of their use are invaluable, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his annual televised question and answer session on Thursday.
“It has done enormous good for our defense industry.
The use of cutting-edge weapons has allowed us to understand how they work in combat conditions and to make required corrections in the quality of these advanced weapons systems.
But we knew for sure they are good weapons.”

Syrian Army Boxing in US Forces in Southern Syria Came as a Shock — Defense Secretary Mattis
The Pentagon was taken aback by how suddenly and quickly it was presented with a fait accompli east of al-Tanf
From Russian Insider:
A 184 kilometer march executed in a single day would be a feather in the cap of any force, but is particularly impressive in the Syrian context where advances tend to be far, far slower.
Also, there were no prior announcements or social media rumors that such a move was being prepared — for once the Syrians kept their plans and preparations to themselves.
Additionally, it of was of great help that it took place while all eyes (and American bombs) were focused on much smaller forces testing the US-proclaimed 55 kilometer exclusion zone further east — and which may have been diversionary moves.
We have now learned that the US military was no less shocked by the advance than you and I. Testifying before Congress US Defense Secretary Mattis explained:
“As far as the Tanf situation, that was another operating area that we had. I did not anticipate that the Russians would move there. We knew it was a possibility. I did not anticipate it at that time but it was not a surprise to our intelligence people who saw the potential for them to move out in that direction.”
In military parlance the Syrians did not achieve a “strategic surprise” but they did achieve an “operational surprise”.
Pentagon grossly underestimated the Syrian forces.
Indeed, Mattis had by all apperances convinced himself that Russians were not interested in southern Syria, and that a push to the Iraqi border was a solely Iranian-backed operation with which the Russians disagreed.
In fact, that the Russian Ministry of Defence timed its press briefing for almost the very moment (figuratively speaking) when Syrian and allied forces had reached the border would imply just the opposite was the case.
It also likely means that the Russians contributed heavily to the planning for the operation and that this reflected in its swiftness and professionalism.
Indeed, Mattis who speaks of “Russians moving there” now seems to believe so.

This was arch demon, Tony Blair’s first war- and the intention was solely to draw America into its first large scale ground war since Vietnam. Blair failed in every respect. The ever increasing bombing of civilian targets across Serbia by an ever increasing ‘alliance’ was Blair’s desperate attempt to encourage American ***cowards*** to see the timeliness of a ground invasion- but US military commanders remained convinced that Soviet trained Serbia forces would inflict far too great a toll on a ground force.
As a ***direct*** consequence of Blair’s disaster in Serbia, Blair went back to the drawing board and Humanity’s most audacious false-flag, 9/11, was conceived. Blair successfully conquered the West in the aftermath of 9/11- and Blair’s people still rule in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, NZ and West Europe today.
An indication of the power of Blair and his pack of lesser Demons is how the British rolled long distance multiple rocket systems from Jordan into America’s base in Syria this week, while Putin’s people once again sat on their hands and cried at the UN about this outrage. America now has state-of-the-art ground to ground rocket artillery with a 480Km range at Tanf which it can either use directly to decimate the forces of the Syria people, or can ‘accidently’ allow to fall into the hands of ISIS.
Since the government of Syria is recognised at the UN, and the Russians are the official legal allies of this government, Russia can legally attack and destroy any non-Syrian-government approved military installation in Syria- and there isn’t one thing the UK/USA could do about this. But instead Putin, as the Stone interview tapes prove, will just witter on about ‘friends’ and ‘partners’ in the West while the West stabs to death every ally of Russia while working up the courage to use its “first strike advantage” (Stone’s words not mine- even ‘good’ liberal Americans are so naive about the real balance of power) against Russia directly in the ultimate cowardly sneak attack.
Britain and America have invasion forces prepped and ready to go in Jordan and Qatar. Any excuse that gains some traction in the zionist controlled propaganda organs of the West will trigger this invasion. The goal of ther invasion will be a blitzkrieg to Damascus and a rapid decapitation of the Syrian government- using the same tactic seen in Libya. All it will need is two weeks of dithering by Putin (as he forces Russian troops to withdraw to safe locations in Syria) for it to be all over. The USA won’t care what happens in Alleppo or Palmyra- prestige stunt locations for the Russians of no value.
The rocket invasion story is currently headlines at RT. It tests Putin, and when Putin refuses to respond as always, the Americans will know the next phase can begin.
Twilight I tend to agree. You clearly have the western mindset down pat.
However I dont think your right about Putin. What do you expect him to do? I would hope Putin does not give America a excuse for all out war where we all die. I believe Putin is giving America all the rope they need to hang themselves, all the while pointing out that no nation is safe from America.
Its bad enough that war may come, but lets not hipe each other up and make it easier for a bunch of crazy people to have their one last haraw.
Some expect that Russia will do what they did (and what they are doing right now in a less focused way) in the 1860’s – the two Countries and the several nationalities are in a locked rhyme. It’s the geology…
…anyway Russia will probably do more or less what they did the last time the US had, ah, troubles of a critical nature, in the previous episode.
But because of the latent or incipient matters of justice related to criminal actions, well, you understand what must happen… Cops, MPs, arrest warrants, indictments, trials…
This implies that the Fleets will not be enough, not this time. And they were not enough last time either…doing a job over usually bring greater attention to details…and the builder does a better job…
911? Everybody that cares to know, knows who and why… it’s a silly topic….
Of course this can only attend when defeat is agreed to have occurred…so it’s not “personal”, not emotional – it is simply equilibrium being re-established…
Alternative? Sure. We may be dead by then…mistakes happen.
as to 911? Everybody that cares to know, knows how and who and why… it’s a silly topic….
If so, do not expect to see a Syrian defeat, or Iranian, or Russian…
No plan survives first contact.
