BMPT stands for «tank support fighting vehicle» – the weapon that has no analogues in the West.

Valery Gerasimov during the president’s visit to Khmeimim, the air base used by Russian military and protected by the AFVs and T-90 main battle tanks (MBTs).

Let us start with an example.
The senior author bought an apartment in a nice housing complex in the little town of Manassas, Prince William County, half an hour from the center of Washington DC.

The US-Russia brokered ceasefire agreement, like other such agreements reached in the past, is in place now.

This is very particular with regard to the positions of both Iran and Israel.
Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, if facing strong backlash over his governments’ decision to hand over $10.5 million ($8 million USD) to Omar Khadr, and then offer an apology to the former Guantanamo Bay prisoner.
Khadr fought against coalition forces in Afghanistan as a 15 year old boy, before being sent to Guantanamo Bay.

As Congress continues to ponder where it could possibly find the money in the budget to provide universal healthcare for all Americans or tuition free university, American lawmakers somehow managed to squeeze out a $696 billion National Defense Authorization bill for 2018.
POTUS Trump’s requested a $50 billion spending increase, for which the House granted him the $50 billion. and then raised it another $30 billion.
American bases are scattered all over the world and practically control all of Europe. The exception, Russia and China.

Even the leaders of America’s surrogate «enforcers» in the Pacific are not immune to dying suddenly after crossing swords with Washington. New Zealand’s Labor Party prime minister Norman Kirk was a vocal critic of the United States for everything from its nuclear armed ships in the Pacific and its war in Vietnam to Washington’s involvement in the 1973 coup in Chile. In 1974, Kirk, 51, died suddenly after suffering a heart attack. Later, Labor Party president Bob Harvey called for a Royal Commission to investigate whether Kirk had been assassinated by the CIA with a «contact poison».
