2. The opposition immediately accused the blogosphere defense system is that it is not hit by a meteorite 🙂 MOE – that there was no warning of falling debris, 🙂 Army – that it was a military missile 🙂 media – of concealing the truth (read the comments with your own eyes, “I bet hundreds of corpses taken out” and I do not even go to the blogs of “Echo of Moscow” and other exciting places.) Individual subjected to censure Medvedev for bad joke about meteor rain as a character. In my opinion – on the background of those jokes that happily let go of the whole blogosphere, Prime joked innocently.
3. Most pleased with the reviews of foreigners. Along with the traditional “so they deserve, this Russian!” met and massive admiration for the Russian air defense system (right, let think so!), a surprise to the fact that Russia fully avtoregistrator by car (they do not know that we were in the sled and put the polar bears?), and attempts to understand what a phrase you’ll hear all the Russian, when they see an exploding car. 🙂 Well, we know that phrase, we had grown and matured!
So – all right. Zinc Plant repaired, glass insert, wounded healed, compensation payments. I think that tonight Putin about this act and all declare. Well just have to make sure, you can not miss this event! If in the U.S. over some city so exploded – Obama would have been three speech delivered on the subject of the dangers of space, the need to unite the nation and promote world peace. And by the way, although I am being ironic, but it is the right response is – everything has to be paid to the benefit of their country. 🙂
