Russia: Wow, BBC gets it correct – CNN Plays The Same Old Game!

Hello,

I will have to say that in a general sense BBC has a better approach to Russia than USA Media does. I am glad to see that, For the Russian media talks good about the whole situation with the EU. Moscow looks forward to real communication and desires it. But as you can see CNN headlines the situation to make it sound like Russia is threatening the EU! Guess what? Russia is not threatening the EU.

These articles are over the same meeting by the European Union!

Russia welcomes ‘responsible’ EU!

(BBC)
Russia has welcomed the “responsible” outcome of an EU crisis summit that condemned the country’s intervention in Georgia but did not impose sanctions.

Russia’s foreign ministry said it regretted the bloc’s accusation of a “disproportionate” response in Georgia.

But it said that most EU countries had shown they wanted to continue partnerships with Russia.

EU leaders agreed to suspend talks on a strategic pact with Russia until its troops were withdrawn from Georgia.

But Russia expressed merely “regret” over this decision, classing it as the latest in a long line of blockages to a much-delayed agreement.

“Moscow over the past two years has got used to artificial obstacles to this document,” the ministry said in a statement.

“There were calls from some states to impose sanctions on Russia and freeze relations,” it continued, adding: “The main thing, however, is they are in the minority and the majority of EU countries have manifested a responsible approach.”

Russia rejects EU partnership talks threat!

(CNN)

Russian officials Tuesday criticized the European Union for threatening to postpone talks on a new political and economic partnership deal over the war in Georgia. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has issued another warning to the West over Georgia.

The Associated Press quoted Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko as saying that a “partnership” with the EU “should not be a hostage to the conflict” over Georgia.

Vladimir Chizhov, Russia’s envoy to the EU, added that he was not surprised that the European Union stopped short of imposing sanctions on Russia, AP said.

He told reporters in Moscow that both sides are “too interdependent,” adding that “Russia and the European Union are bound by destiny to be close partners.”

Title say it all……

Russia: I do not Want To Hear, "I did not know!"

Hello,

EU, NATO, UN, America, USA, Europe, Western World: Listen up and remember this!

In this part of the world Ukraine has decided to irritate Russia about the Black Sea Fleet….

Ukraine demands Russia to give 72 hour notice on Black Sea Fleet movements. Ukraine passed a bill announcing that Russia must……. “restrict Russian warships at the leased military base at the Black Sea port of Sevastopol, saying the vessels` movements were subject to Ukrainian approval.” (Bad move Ukraine)

Ukraine to increase rent for Russian Fleet by up to 25 times. From January 1, 2009, the Ukrainian leadership is planning to up the rent for the Crimean territories where Russia’s Black Sea Fleet is stationed…… (Can some say, Stupid move?)

Why would Ukraine do this?

My only thought is that they want to loose the Crimea……

In Moscow, coverage of Georgia has so far drowned out the rumblings in Ukraine, but some Muscovites are clear where they stand…

“No one in my circle —and they’re rather well educated— would say the Crimea is Ukrainian territory.”

I will attest to that, Russians feel that the Crimea is Russia and you will see that Crimea thinks it is Russian. That was the first issue that I got to experience in Ukraine at Border crossings, When you cross into the Crimea you cross into another world. My wife automatically says: “Yes, Crimea is Russian” as the thought any other way is non existent…

So when Ukraine gets itself into hot water over trying to play games with the Russian Black Sea Fleet don’t sit in front of your TV and say: “I did not know that!” as you are told lies about Russia is aggressively acting and started this, blah, blah, blah!

For the Fact is: Ukraine started the game of: Russian Black Sea Fleet will do as we say or else… (This is not a game with Gas & Corporate issues, this is a game over Military issues and Russia will never accept that.)

So when the world turns upside down again and Ukraine is crying about Bad Evil Russia: Remember that Ukraine kept poking the Bear over Russia’s Black Sea Fleet…

Russia: Magomed Yevloyev’s Played His Last Hand!

Ingushetiya.ru, Owner Shot Dead!

Hello,

This is a good one and believe me there is much more to this story than what is being told. But nothing changes the facts that a man was shot and dumped near a hospital to die.

The owner of the embattled opposition web site Ingushetiya.ru was killed Sunday after being detained by police, and his supporters promised massive protests that could lead to a sharp escalation in violence in the restive region.

Magomed Yevloyev, a prominent opposition member and staunch critic of Ingush President Murat Zyazikov, was detained in Ingushetia’s main city of Nazran as he stepped off a plane from Moscow, his lawyer and friend Kaloi Akhilgov said by telephone.

He said Yevloyev had flown in business class with Zyazikov, a retired general from the Federal Security Service, and suggested that the two might have quarreled during the flight.

Ingush police said they had wanted to question Yevloyev in connection with an investigation into an explosion in Nazran earlier this year, Interfax reported.

Once inside the police car, Yevloyev, a Moscow-based lawyer and former investigator in the Ingush Prosecutor’s Office, attempted to wrestle an assault rifle away from one of the officers and was accidentally shot in the head during the scuffle, the police said.

Ingush opposition activist Magomed Khazbiyev said Yevloyev was found lying near a Nazran hospital with a bullet in his temple, Interfax reported. (Link)

Am I to believe that he was shot accidentally? (sources say shot in the temple)
Am I to believe that he tried to grab a gun?
Am I to believe that he was detained by police and was not constrained away from weapons?
Am I to believe that it was real cops that detained him?
Am I to believe that he was not wanted for termination?

What I do believe with out a doubt, is that it was a very badly planned issuance. That two wrongs do not make a right. I believe that a big mistake was made, even if it was someone that was considered very wrong in his way and manners of getting his point across.

His past and the way he proceeded to express himself got him in hot water and now he will be 6 foot under. Earlier in August, the Moscow City Court upheld a lower court’s decision in June to close Ingushetiya.ru on charges of carrying extremist content. Prosecutors have also accused the web site of inciting ethnic hatred.

There is a song by Kenny Rogers, The Gambler:

You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table.
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealin’s done.

now Ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’
Is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
‘Cause ev’ry hand’s a winner and ev’ry hand’s a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.”

It did not help that his last hand he played in life, was on the jet that they detained him from. He got into an argument with Ingush President Murat Zyazikov, a retired general from the Federal Security Service. (opps)

What I believe is that he was not killed by accident and no one in their right mind would believe that, even me…..

Russia: ‘US to strike Iran in coming weeks’

Hello,

Well looks like our vacation could become a war zone…….
——————————————————————————-
Sep. 1, 2008
JPost.com Staff , THE JERUSALEM POST

The Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD, has called off an operation aimed at infiltrating and sabotaging Iran’s weapons industry due to an assessment that a US attack on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is imminent, according to a report in the country’s De Telegraaf newspaper on Friday.

The report claimed that the Dutch operation had been “extremely successful,” and had been stopped because the US military was planning to hit targets that were “connected with the Dutch espionage action.”

The impending air-strike on Iran was to be carried out by unmanned aircraft “within weeks,” the report claimed, quoting “well placed” sources.

The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the De Telegraaf report.

According to the report, information gleaned from the AIVD’s operation in Iran has provided several of the targets that are to be attacked in the strike, including “parts for missiles and launching equipment.”

“Information from the AIVD operation has been shared in recent years with the CIA,” the report said.

On Saturday, Iran’s Deputy Chief of Staff General Masoud Jazayeri warned that should the United States or Israel attack Iran, it would be the start of another World War.

On Friday, Ma’ariv reported that Israel had made a strategic decision to deny Iran military nuclear capability and would not hesitate “to take whatever means necessary” to prevent Teheran from achieving its nuclear goals.

According to the report, whether the United States and Western countries succeed in thwarting the Islamic Republic’s nuclear ambitions diplomatically, through sanctions, or whether a US strike on Iran is eventually decided upon, Jerusalem has begun preparing for a separate, independent military strike.

Can they wait until after we travel to Israel in October? (Like how about: No War!)

We really want to go to Israel and see the Holy land before it gets redecorated!

Russia: Don’t Try to Give me That Substandard Chicken!

Hello,

I was drinking my morning cup of coffee and came across Russia Banning 19 USA Poultry Companies. I turned to my wife and said Tyson Foods is going to be one of these companies. Guess what? It was….

How would I know this: Amongst my resume of things that I have done in my life, I spent many years dealing with Corporate Food Service! One of the issues that befalls upper management is to make deals with other Corporations for food supplies. One of the worst suppliers that I had to deal with was Tyson Foods. I vetoed many shipments of Tyson products in my time. why? Because they were made up up substandard products and non compliance with rules & regulations.

Why do you think that in the early 2000’s Tyson is and was one of the top 10 worst Corporations in America? (The situation has not gotten any better with Tyson over antibiotics in chickens!)

When I see Tyson in the store here, I just shake my head and say to my wife, “Don’t buy….!”

Russia: Georgia Leaves Their People in Russia Diplomatically Stranded!

Saakashvili explains to Bush how not to see your people!
Hello,

Seems Georgia (Saakashvili) is a country (person) that seriously does not care for its people.

“Georgia severed diplomatic ties with Russia and toughened visa requirements for Russian citizens over the weekend in response to Moscow’s decision to recognize the independence of its separatist provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.” (Link)

The population of Georgia is 4,630,841 people. This fact comes out of the CIA fact list. The population of Georgians in Russia is about 2,000,000 to 2,200,000. They say that 600,000 to 1 million Georgian immigrants live in and near Moscow alone.

Now, understand that Georgia has broken diplomatic ties with Russia: They have left 2 Million people in Russia with no one to turn to for help. 2 Million people in Russia that have been left by their country. The people have no protection from any political issues that arise between governments. A Embassy and Consulate helps to promote trade and investment between Georgia and Russia. They also help in political, economic and other developments. The Consuls are also responsible for the consular protection of Georgian nationals who are temporary residents in, or visitors to, their consular district.

Now, also understand that a country that has only 4 and a half million people in it, really needs to preserve a relationship with the 2 million plus Georgians that have been secluded in Russia. That is close to half the population that remains in Georgia.

But then again, that makes sense because Georgia (Saakashvili) attacked (Who they claim to be) their own people in South Ossetia……………..

Makes me think.

Russian Americans: CRA has Expressed Media Concerns!

The Congress of Russian Americans (CRA) has expressed concern over the lopsided coverage of the Georgia-South Ossetia conflict by the U.S. mass media. It has sent letters to the White House and the U.S. State Department, according to CRA Director Georgy Avisov.

“There is no fundamental reason that can prevent peaceful and mutually beneficial cooperation between the U.S. and Russia,” the letter says.

The Congress of Russian Americans is one of the oldest and best-known NGOs for U.S. citizens of Russian origin.

Russia: German Weekly Magazine Der Spiegel comments on South Ossetia!

Hello,

Looks like Monday is going to be interesting:

Evidence of “numerous erroneous decisions of the Georgian leadership which led to the beginning of a crisis in the Caucasus” are accumulating in the OSCE headquarters, says the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel in an announcement of an article to be published on Monday.

The magazine says that “a lot of corresponding reports by OSCE observers in the Caucasus have unofficially fallen into the hands of some governmental authorities in Berlin.”

According to this data, Georgia had been actively preparing a military strike against South Ossetia and began the attack before Russian tanks entered the Roksky tunnel connecting South Ossetia and Russia.

Also, there are reports of observers who say that the Georgian authorities ordered that the attack on South Ossetian civilians at night when they were sleeping, the announcement says.(Link)

We will wait and see….

Russia: Nikolai Valuev beats John Ruiz to claim WBA title

BERLIN, August 31 (RIA Novosti) – Russian boxer Nikolai Valuev has beaten American John Ruiz in Berlin to reclaim the WBA title.

The judges’ decision to declare a Valuev victory at the Max Schmeling arena late on Saturday was unanimous. However, there was some initial confusion when the fight was at first declared, in what turned out to be a mix-up, a split decision.

Valuev weighed in 40 kg (88.2 lbs) heavier than his Puerto Rican-American opponent.

“It is great to have the title back and I am very happy about it,” said Valuev after the fight.

The seven-foot (2.13-meter) Valuev became Russia’s first world heavyweight champion in December 2005 when he defeated Ruiz. In April last year he lost his title to Ruslan ‘White Tyson’ Chagaev from Uzbekistan.

Since then Chagaev has defended his title once, but a torn achilles tendon forced a delay in his mandatory challenge bout against Valuev. On July 4, the WBA decided to sanction a match against the Russian’s closest contender, John Ruiz.

Chagaev is currently what the WBA calls a “champion in recess,” and Valuev will now have to face Chagaev before June 26, 2009, if the Uzbek manages to get fighting fit by then. (Link)
