 The Russians are shrewd geopolitical players. They smell weakness in the new U.S. administration and are exploiting it even before Obama takes office. As I have said many times.. Obama is a lightweight and liberals are cowards. Our enemies will take advantage. They will chew him up and spit him out.

Nuclear smackdown in New Europe

  Medvedev also sees the war in South Ossetia as symptomatic of a larger and more deeply-rooted problem. Medvedev: “A barbaric aggression against South Ossetia and the global financial crisis – two very different problems which nevertheless have common traits and a common origin...A local reckless enterprise provoked a rise of tensions far behind the region’s borders, in the whole of Europe, in the whole world. It called into question the efficiency of international security institutions and practically destabilized the basics of the world order. The lessons of mistakes and crises of 2008 proved to all the responsible nations that it is the time to act, and it is necessary to radically reform the political and economic system." Medvedev is right. The present architecture for global security needs to be thoroughly revamped as does the global financial system. Unilateralism, preemption and the Bush Doctrine have only made the world a more dangerous place. So, too, Wall Street's disp

 This could be part of the problem. Obama, in his chats with nine world leaders, told SK President Lee the US-ROK relationship is a “cornerstone” of Asian stability. Good thing he noticed. Medvedev rounded on the United States for ills ranging from the global financial crisis to the recent war in Georgia, in a state-of-the-nation speech that was watched intently by his mentor Vladimir Putin, and omitted mentioning Obama by name. http://news.theage.com.au/world/russias-medvedev-hits-out-at-us-20081105-5ilq.html

Nicholas Burns: We Should Talk to Our Enemies
arifsali
by arifsali  10-27-2008   
 Nicholas Burns started his career as a foreign service officer in 1983. He served in Cairo and Jerusalem, before working in the State Department’s Department of Soviet Affairs. Then in 1990 he shifted onto the National Security Council staff. In 1995 he became Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, and in 1997 he was appointed Ambassador to Greece. In 2001, the George W. Bush administration made him the United States’ Permanent Representative to NATO, and then in 2005 they made him Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs — the number three job in the State Department. This career diplomatic, widely respected and widely experienced, trusted with key missions by the Bush administration, has an article in Newsweek about how yes we should engage in direct, high-level talks with “bad guy” regimes:

Oil Falls Below $64 As Economy Outweighs OPEC
merrie
by merrie  10-27-2008    1
 News that Japan's Nippon Oil plans a 15 percent cut in November crude oil refining, from a year earlier and data showing China's September oil demand growth was its slowest in 10 months also weighed on oil prices. Despite OPEC's Friday decision to cut back on production, oil prices have continued to slide. Kuwait's oil minister said OPEC was concerned about an oil price fall after it cut output but it would take time to decide if the cut was sufficient, while Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said OPEC should create a crude price band between $70 and $90 per barrel. Separately, crude oil speculators on the New York Mercantile Exchange shifted to a net long position while open interest dropped in the week to October 21, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission reported on Friday.

 My guess is that this is just another ploy by Chavez to garner media attention while at the same time tweaking the Americans. I worked for "Mickey D's" for five years, and know that they go WAY out of their way to abide by government regulations. Gotta be tough on the Venezuelans who will be out two day's pay.

Not The School Curriculum He Knew?
merrie
by merrie  10-15-2008    2
 Calling Bill Ayers a school reformer is a bit like calling Joseph Stalin an agricultural reformer. . . For instance, at a November 2006 education forum in Caracas, Venezuela, with President Hugo Chávez at his side, Ayers proclaimed his support for “the profound educational reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chávez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution. . . . I look forward to seeing how you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.” Ayers concluded his speech by declaring that “Venezuela is poised to offer the world a new model of education—a humanizing and revolutionary model whose twin missions are enlightenment and liberation,” and then, as in days of old, raised his fist and chanted: “Viva Presidente Chávez! Viva la Revolucion Bolivariana! Hasta la Victoria Siempre!”

As Usual, The Truth Remains Unspoken In The Press
merrie
by merrie  10-15-2008   
 So, why does Pelosi get a complete pass for aligning herself with this Colombian Senator that aids terrorists and is a chief booster of one of our biggest enemies in Central America? What else but that the U.S. media does not discuss this subject much. But, why doesn't the U.S. media want to expose Pelosi's support of a foreign enemy? Perhaps it is for the same reason that the U.S. media doesn't want to talk much about the true nature of the close ties that Barack Obama has to American terrorist William Ayers? To do so would discredit Pelosi and Obama both and that is the last thing the media wants to do. So, the truth remains unspoken in the press.

America Will Remain the Superpower

 But that only means it had outperformed nearly every single major foreign stock exchange, including Germany's XETRADAX (down 28%) China's Shanghai exchange (down 30%), Japan's NIKK225 (down 37%), Brazil's BOVESPA (down 41%) and Russia RTSI (down 61%). These contrasts are a useful demonstration that America's financial woes are nobody else's gain. On the other hand, global economic distress doesn't invariably work at cross-purposes with American interests. Hugo Chávez's nosedive toward bankruptcy begins when oil dips below $80 a barrel, the price where it hovers now. An identical logic, if perhaps at a different price, applies to the petrodictatorships in Moscow and Tehran, which already are heavily saddled with inflationary and investor-confidence concerns. Russia will also likely burn through its $550 billion in foreign-currency reserves faster than anticipated -- a pleasing if roundabout comeuppance for last summer's Georgian adventure.

 I love this. Chavez is no saint as he has a poor record in terms of domestic political repression. However, lets give credit where credit is due. Shutting down McDonalds even for just a few days is a powerful act against one of the worst corporations on this planet. The fact that Chavez shut down Pepsi earlier this year is great as well. Can anyone imagine what would happen in the USofA if Bush/Congress did the same thing. Boy would you say riots in the streets.

 This concerns me. HRW obviously has a strong reputation but this article questions its report on Venezuela. This article is quite convincing in its dealings with the HRW report. I sympathise with Latin American countries in the USA's backyard having once done a stint as a brigadista in Nicaragua in 1985

Russia Moving into U.S. Backyard

 Thanks to the arrogance of the Bush/Cheney foreign policy with Venezuela, we now have talk of nuclear reactors being built in Venezuela with Russia's assistance. Relations between U.S. and Venezuela have been deteriorating for years and as a result Russia is extending its reach around the world. If we had maintained better relations with Russia, this would not cause Americans much concern. But the reality is that we now have two oil rich nations trading nuclear technology and weapons that are not motivated to work with the U.S.
