1. Many wondered how Britain managed to take on the Olympic games in Rio as many as 27 gold medals, thereby taking the second (!) place in the overall medal standings.
The solution was unexpected. It turned out that more than 50 British athletes received from WADA permission to doping:

When you consider that since 2014, the President of WADA is British, the picture is classic — we see that in the UK as Fair Play, fair play. Gentlemen believe in the word, then they are incredibly lucky with cards.
2. Europeans firmly grasped the udder of American corporations. Fine now threatens to “McDonald’s” — the most famous caterers of the planets require half a billion dollars in the case for tax evasion:

Remind us corporations traditionally believe that paying taxes abroad they do not have as their Asses cover formidable fleets uncle Sam. The Europeans, however, recently decided that Washington was too weak to protect his players, and began to demand American corporations to pay taxes honestly.
In August received a harsh penalty, Apple, she demanded to pay the 14 billion Americans tried to retaliate by giving the same penalty for the German “Deutsche Bank”, but the Germans have already said that to pay Americans a penalty for non-existing sins is not going to.
Now came the turn of “McDonald’s”… in General, American corporations in Europe I work a lot and if they start to pay taxes in full, the EU budget will be replenished in the end, a trillion sums. Americans to respond to that right now there is nothing — as European Corporation taxes in USA are paid more or less regularly.
In Ukraine, meanwhile, also brewing conflict between the European Union and the United States:

The EU needs the implementation of the Minsk agreements and the end of the civil war in Ukraine. States, by contrast, need a hot spot in the underbelly of Europe. In this conflict, I believe, the advantage also on the side of Europe — as it is, first, closer, and second, the observance of the Minsk agreements and Russia, which has considerable influence in the region.
3. A couple of touches to the portrait of the defenders of copyright. HP printers EN masse stopped working after 12 September — worked built-in protection from cheap ink:

The Corporation is trying to force users to buy ink exclusively she charged many times the price.
4. The share of oil revenues in the budget of Russia declined to 43% and continues to fall:

I note that we are talking about the Federal budget in the consolidated (General) budget share of oil and gas even less. Actually, it’s funny now to remember the prophecies of those who promised Russia a complete collapse in the fall of oil below $ 90 per barrel…
Let me remind you, oil is a very important part of our economy, but still far not a single oil growing wealth of Russia, and not all the oil is, of course, we sell abroad:

5. Agency S&P improved the rating Outlook of Russia Outlook revised to stable:

You would enjoy it, but me, on the contrary, rather upset by the fact that the national media is paying more attention to Western ratings than, for example, the Chinese — according to which financial situation in Russia very strongly.
6. Under the heading “Their morals”. Alex Exler, a well-known cosmopolitan, which is a nightmare and can not be suspected of hostility to the West, talks about the seizure of property in Spain.
http://exler.livejournal.com/3995604.html
I already wrote about the fact that in Spain (and many other European countries) there is a freezing phenomenon, as the capture housing. I mean, suppose you bought a flat or a house in Spain or France, lived there for a summer, returned to Russia, arriving next summer, and your apartment or house quietly lives some shelupon: Gypsies, Moroccans, Syrians and so on. Moreover, it is clear that this will all be specific marginalized: drug addicts and criminals. When you find out, the police can not call the police shelupon. And show the policy paper, which says that the owner of the apartment-house Antonio Banderas gave them, shelupon, this apartment-house to rent for a period of three years. And is personally signed by Antonio Banderas.
…
And with the court all too fun. Sue you will be at least six months, and if shelupon will be at the hearing and to object, the court will appoint a new hearing, which is also a few months, well, if settled among shelupon is a minor child and shelupon not in the ownership of flats-home (and she doesn’t, duh), then you will be evicted at least two years.
During this time, all your belongings will be sold, discarded or destroyed, the apartment-house of this scum trash to such a state that the housing will be easier to burn down and build again, and, in addition, you will receive bills for tens of thousands of euros for the used electricity and gas, as shelupon, clear the stump, to use them did not hesitate once. And disable your home-apartment from electricity and gas, you can not even personal statement, written in the company.
Yes, that’s right, in Europe such moronic laws. Any scum can seize your home, and the police will protect this scum from you, the rightful owner. Them it themselves are not satisfied, but they have such descriptions. Sort it out in court, says the policy. Sue, we will say the policy that we ourselves don’t like it, but we have no right to act otherwise.
