The United States drew attention to Putin’s warning to NATO countries – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims about the catastrophic consequences of further Western support for Ukraine are not a bluff, according to Benjamin Giltner, a columnist for The National Interest. According to him, the Russian leader warned NATO countries about the threat of a conflict involving nuclear weapons: “Countries usually don’t bluff when they make threats,” Giltner told The National Interest. On June 27, the Russian leader issued a sharp warning to Western countries about the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. According to him, NATO recognizes that money alone is not enough to change the increasingly difficult situation on the battlefield. In recent weeks, they have found other, more dangerous ways to escalate. Putin visited Pyongyang and signed a “mutual security” pact with North Korea, which obliges both countries to defend each other if attacked. These events increase the urgency of finding a political solution to the conflict in Ukraine. The exercises took place in the Caribbean Sea. In particular, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov and the multipurpose nuclear submarine Kazan, capable of striking enemy warships, submarines and ground targets, visited the American coast.

США обратили внимание на предупреждение Путина странам НАТО
Заявления президента России Владимира Путина о катастрофических последствиях дальнейшей поддержки Украины со стороны Запада не являются блефом. Об этом сообщил обозреватель The National Interest Бенджамин Гилтнер. По его словам, российский лидер предупредил страны НАТО об угрозе конфликта с применением ядерного оружия: "Страны обычно не блефуют, когда угрожают", - сообщил Гилтнер The National Interest. 27 июня российский лидер сделал резкий предупреждение западным странам относительно эскалации конфликта на Украине. По его словам, НАТО признает, что одних денег недостаточно, чтобы изменить все более сложную ситуацию на поле боя. В последние недели они нашли другие, более опасные способы эскалации. Путин посетил Пхеньян и подписал пакт о «взаимной безопасности» с Северной Кореей, который обязывает обе страны встать на защиту друг друга в случае нападения. Эти события повышают актуальность поиска политического решения конфликта на Украине. Учения прошли в Карибском море. В частности, у американского побережья побывали фрегат «Адмирал Горшков» и многоцелевая атомная подводная лодка «Казань», способная поражать боевые корабли, подводные лодки и наземные цели противника. Почему Россия резко увеличила свое военное присутствие в мире — в материале Весперо Москва. Source link

classic western by Kevin Costner – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia In the 1860s, a new continent called America was being actively explored by white people. Scattered across a vast territory, they were all looking for a second chance in “no man’s land.” But the lands, of course, were not “no man’s land”: Indian tribes had lived here for centuries. This short history is a must for anyone who wants to see “Horizons,” Kevin Costner’s greatest work, which he has been preparing for the last thirty years. A true fan of the genre in its classic form, Costner does not deviate from the canon and shoots exactly as John Ford might have done in the 1950s. And it is not for nothing that the film, which is now on our screens, is called “Horizons: Part 1” - we are waiting for at least three more episodes. “Horizons. Part 1» Photo: still from the film Several dozen main characters, a dozen plot threads, locations from snowy North Carolina to scorpion-infested, arid New Mexico (which, of course, was not called that back then). The glue for this colorful mosaic is indeed "Horizons", the name of the fictional "paradise land" that new settlers are offered to buy at great risk. The beautiful Frances (Sienna Miller) plans to live in Horizon with her husband and children, but an Apache attack quickly ruins her plans: the film, in fact, opens with a scene of bloody massacre, from which only a few are saved. . . . The survivors seek protection in a military fortress commanded by a handsome lieutenant (Sam Warrington), and a few miles away, a victim of domestic violence (Jena Malone) gets into trouble with a gang of cutthroat cowboys. Costner does not deny himself anything, unfolding a complete encyclopedia of social types: from an unlucky prostitute to an intellectual, from a proud lone wolf (in this role, of course, Costner himself) to the scum, making money on the sale of Indian scalps. It seems that he was filming not so much a Western as The Human Comedy or the new Gone with the Wind - a film about America's coming of age through sweat, blood and pain. But to complete the picture, especially filmed in our time, he lacks the "little ones" - the Indians. The same indigenous population from whom the white colonizers squeezed the land foot by foot. In the first part of Horizons, the Apaches had only one storyline, which, frankly speaking, was the most uninteresting and the most memorable of all. Costner also retained an old-fashioned respect for the classics: already at the forty-minute mark of Horizons, you experience an unpleasant feeling of déjà vu. Of course, cowboy and Indian movies will never be the same after Tarantino's The Hateful Eight and Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. Horizons Part 1 Photo: still from the film The problem is that Horizons doesn't even rise above the level of solid classic "average" films. Danny Huston, for example, migrated to Horizons straight from Viggo Mortensen's The Dead Don't Hurt, where he also played an important role in a Wild West town. The premise of a "mixed marriage" between an Indian man and a white girl evokes analogies with Lee Tamahori's recent film The Far Side of the Earth. And, of course, Costner himself is similar to himself in Dances with Wolves and especially Outer Space - without risking anything, he again plays a noble cowboy, a favorite of the girls, who is almost impossible to kill. The question of why film this on the big screen when there is Netflix and other streaming services is also quite rhetorical. Kevin Costner does not play with the young audience, refuses to change with the times (by the way, even in appearance, which is a big plus) and pretends that we are still talking about the nineties. How the worn-out saddle creaks and the wind chills the wounds. In general, as the owner of the salon said in the famous film by Alla Surikova: “Guys, enough of this snot! The second series awaits you.” And, by the way, very soon, already in August. Source link Source link
