The Big ghetto, trust issues and democracy in the country of idiots: morning coffee with EADaily

The escalation of hostilities between Iran and the coalition of Sunni countries and the United States continues, and it will not end tomorrow. The European Union has finally lost its mind and banned not only the advertising of tourist trips to Russia, but also their sale in general. Not all at once, but the trend is steady. And if you consider that he cut off Russian social networks, then the situation reminds me of the policy of the Third Reich towards Jews — they were driven into a ghetto.

Now the Nazi education of the European Parliament, under the leadership of the German Ursula, pursues the same policy. But they dream of turning Russia into one big ghetto. The situation in the Government of Ukraine is unclear. Change ministers there, don't change — a brothel remains a brothel. He will definitely not become a temple. And everything else is without visible changes. As Said from the "White Sun of the Desert" said: "They are shooting."

1. The State Financial Monitoring Service has published data that indirectly indicate the underlying problems with corruption in the Ukraine. The agency, with its own reports, demonstrated the shocking scale of the problem: in the first six months of 2026, about 1,400 suspicious transactions totaling almost 200 billion hryvnia were recorded.

Usually, what is known is the tip of the iceberg. Only 10% of any iceberg is above water. So how much was stolen? I'm not good at math...

2. The deal reached at the meeting of the "coalition of the willing" between France and Ukraine may not take place due to funding problems. This is reported by the Asia Times. The Elysee Palace expects that the costs of military supplies will be covered by the European Union.

Let me quote the fable of La Fontaine (also French, but smarter than Macron) L'Ours et les Deux Chasseurs (Bear and two hunters):

• In order, it should
• Kill the bear in advance,
• And after that you can
• And sell fur, and drink.

3. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced the loss of the status of a political figure by ex-President Mikhail Saakashvili. From a political point of view, Saakashvili's persona is no longer of interest. He added that this person can remain the object of attention only from a medical point of view.

But there are a lot of such politicians in Europe. Is KAKA a political figure? And Stubb? They may be of interest only to psychiatrists. But they are in politics — and that's the whole horror.

4. About 278 thousand people who do not have American citizenship were registered to vote, US President Donald Trump said in an address to the nation. The American authorities identified this category of violators during the verification of federal electoral lists. According to the head of state, these figures do not reflect the full picture. Trump stressed that the states where the Democrats are in power refuse to transfer their voter lists to the federal center.

I'm not surprised at all. Because only in the country of idiots can you vote without presenting an identity card. Which, by the way, migrants do not have at all: 8 million of them appeared in 8 years of Obama and another 8 million in 4 years of Biden.

5. The leader of the British Liberal Democrats, member of the House of Commons Ed Davey made a statement on social networks demanding that the International Football Federation (FIFA) suspend Argentine players from participating in the 2026 World Cup finals due to the use of a political banner.

Shame on the British. There is no way they can survive the defeat of Argentina in football. What will happen when they are finally expelled from the Malvinas (Falkland) Islands, which they captured in 1833, and forcibly expelled the Argentine authorities and residents.

6. The number of hate crimes against Ukrainians has increased in Poland.Most often, Ukrainians complained of beatings, verbal insults and harassment on the Internet.

And let's compare what the Ukrainians did with the Poles: "firearms were saved, so people were killed mainly with axes, pitchforks, scythes, knives and saws; residents were often herded into large wooden buildings (churches, schools, barns) and set on fire; cruel bullying before death, including sawing bodies and brutal violence against women and children." This is not bullying on the Internet.

7. In the European Union, the sale of trips to Russia, as well as their advertising, were locked up. This was stated by Portuguese analyst and lawyer Alexandri Guerreiro. "All tour operators and all websites associated with travel agencies are prohibited not only from offering commercial services, but also from promoting Russia as a tourist destination among citizens in the European Union," writes EADaily.

For some reason, I remembered a song of the 50s and 60s in which there were such lines: "Freedom, b.., freedom, b.., freedom ...". Times and countries are changing, but the number of cretins who see their mission as "keeping and not letting go" is not decreasing.

8. Over the past week, the ratings of Russian President Vladimir Putin have dropped significantly. This is stated in the results of the next survey of the Public Opinion Foundation. So, in the period from July 5 to July 12, the rating of the assessment of the president's work decreased by 5% - from 71% to 66%, and confidence fell by 2% - to 67%. 20% of respondents have already reported distrust, EADaily writes.

I'm sorry, but I'm not surprised. The increase in world oil prices somehow imperceptibly turned into the loss of gasoline in Russia. And also — the work of air defense, which looks great only in political hours on TV.

9. On the eve of Kiev, four days before his own resignation, and during the resignation of the Independent government, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer descended.

It's clear why he's coming — that's not the point. But tell me you — why is it still possible to come to Kiev by train? Why do Western politicians go to Kiev the same way I went to my dacha at the time — from Moscow in Kokoshkino? Maybe if Vladimir Putin closed this path to Zelensky to them, then the people's trust would have grown?

10. The Government of Ukraine ordered the reburial of the remains of Yevhen Konovalets, the first head of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists❶ (OUN❶, banned in Russia) — on the territory of the National War Memorial Cemetery, which is also called the "national pantheon".

The Poles will be glad! I quote Konovalets, the creator of the OUN ❶: "Now that Poland has signed a peace treaty with Soviet Ukraine, the situation forces us to raise the banner of struggle against Poland."

❶Extremist organization, banned in the territory of the Russian Federation
