'La Voz de Aztlan' : 'Peter the Great' Too Big for the Panama Canal but 'Admiral Chabanenko' is Not
Dec. 4, 2008 LA VOZ DE AZTLAN Los Angeles, Alta California December 4 , 2008 The Kremlin has announced that the Russian warship "Admiral Chabanenko" will sail through the Panama Canal this week. This will be the first time for a Russian warship since World War II. The Panama Canal was once under the control of the USA but it came under control of Panama on December 31, 1999. There was a plan to have the Russian nuclear powered cruiser "Peter the Great" to pass through but it was determined by Panamanian engineers that it was just too huge and it was decided that the submarine destroyer "Admiral Chabanenko" should instead sail through the tight canal.. » read more
Sarkozy Backs Russian Calls for Pan-European Security Pact
Saturday 15 November 2008 President Nicolas Sarkozy of France joined Russia in condemning the Pentagon's plans to install missile defence bases in central Europe yesterday and backed President Dmitri Medvedev's previously ignored calls for a new pan-European security pact. Both presidents concluded a Russia-EU summit, in Nice in the south of France, with an agreement to convene a major international conference next summer at which the Americans, Russians and the 27 countries of the EU should come up with a blueprint for new post-cold war "security architecture" in Europe. The call for such a pact has been Medvedev's central foreign policy message since he succeeded Vladimir Putin as president earlier this year. Medvedev has called for the new deal in several keynote speeches but has been snubbed by western leaders until Sarkozy delivered a characteristic surprise yesterday, appearing to hijack the subject. Sarkozy said: "We could meet in mid-2009 to lay the foundations of what could possibly be a future pan-European security system.. » read more

IS KAZAKHSTAN DISENGAGING FROM GEORGIA?
Oct. 15, 2008 The Russia-Georgia conflict has had repercussions throughout the post-Soviet space. While Western states have decided to increase their material support to Georgia, Central Asian governments find themselves in a more complex and difficult situation due to their dependence on Russia. For example, Astana announced it would abandon a project to build a grain terminal in the Georgian port of Poti and oil refineries in Batumi, doubly bad news for the already weakened Georgian economy. BACKGROUND: Relations between the South Caucasus and Central Asia are relatively tense.. » read more

Putin Orders ‘Nuclear Noose’ Put Around US
August 18, 2008 New reports circulating in the Kremlin today are stating that Prime Minister Putin and President Medvedev have jointly ordered Russia’s Strategic Missile Troops (RVSN) to begin the encirclement of the United States with a ‘Nuclear Noose’ in preparation for ‘all out’ war with American Military Forces. Sparking the fears of Russian leaders, these reports state, were conversations held this past week between Putin and former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Kissinger McLarty Associates) wherein Mr. Kissinger stated that the likelihood of Senator John McCain ascending to the presidency of the United States was ‘all but assured’. Russian policy analysts have long considered a McCain led US government as a continuation of Bush’s foreign policy for an American led implementation of a ‘New World Order’ that would see the abolishment of Nation States and the establishment of World Trading Blocks, and which Putin has vowed to prevent occurring. Making an American Government being led by McCain even more intolerable for Russia has been McCain’s strident calls for Western military action against the Russian people and its leaders, but which can only be fully understood by knowing that his, McCain’s, top foreign policy advisor, Randy Scheunemann, is a longtime lobbyist for Georgia whose lobbing firm has been paid over $1 million by the Georgian government to further their influence in the US.. » read more
India fears vacuum left by Musharraf
August 18, 2008 The resignation of Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, may have come as a relief to most people in his country. But in Pakistan's giant neighbour, India, there are some who are less pleased and even anxious at his imminent departure. Delhi has traditionally been restrained in its comments on Pakistan's internal politics, concerned that it may be seen as meddling. So its first reaction after Monday's announcement was entirely predictable. "We have no comments to make on the resignation of President Musharraf of Pakistan", the Indian Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Navtej Sarna, said in a statement.. » read more
