"Russia’s delegation says it will leave the Parliamentary Assembly for the Council of Europe protesting the decision. Aleksey Pushkov, who heads Russia’s delegation to the assembly, said the decision is "most rough violation of Russia's rights."

“If they want to play the role of an inquisitor, let them play it themselves. At the moment we are contemplating whether we still want to be a part of PACE,” said Pushkov.

PACE was may be the latest intl org that Russia still played a role until now, besides UN. PACE rift could be worse than the rift NATO-Russia because PACE had more members from all over Europe not only West or EU

Gorbachev called to dissolve the Russian Duma! [link to www.gazeta.ru]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54888721


Should Putin listen to Gorbachev and get rid of a Duma that proved to be rubber stamp instrument, and to get new fresh elections without United Russia's fabricated victory in 2011? Putin said he was not a member of United Russia and his own election did not depend on the parliamentary "victory" of Medvedev's party. That would be a wise choice that will see another PM to rise in Russia. Someone who could be Putin's heir at the time he decides so.

Or should Duma initiate the prosecution of Gorbachev for dissolution of USSR? And finally on that road to do something like recreation of USSR-2? Perhaps Putin's aides want that to happen. Is it the wiser thing to happen though? It won't clean current Russian politicians out of the scum anyway.

It wasn't Gorby to dissolute USSR. Duma targets the wrong man. It was Yeltsin. Someone whom Putin honors as his father in politics and the first president of independent Russia. Gorbachev saved both USSR and the world from nuclear war back then in 1980s. To judge the history now from current Duma who itself is not so legitimate after rigged polls in Dec 2011 is not the best thing Putin could do. Perhaps he wants to legitimize Ukrainian takeover. This is a wrong approach. The best thing Putin could do is to listen to Gorbachev, the man who made it all possible, including for Mr Putin to rise on the scene. Otherwise, it would still be Secretary General Gorbachev in USSR. It is apparent the move of Putin's people to restore it somehow and to put Putin instead. They don't notice that the times are different and that Mr Putin himself is put in this place by the system that he did not create. Even after 15 years in the job it is not he who created this system. Rather Mr Gorbachev is.

Putin tells Europe Ukraine gas debt “critical”, transit threatened



[link to rt.com]


Russian President Vladimir Putin has written to European countries warning that Ukraine’s debt crisis has reached a “critical” stage, and could have consequences for gas transit to Europe.

"After yesterday's meeting the president held with the government presidium, Putin sent a letter to the heads of European countries buying Russian gas," a source told ITAR-TASS on Thursday.

"The letter contained a detailed description of the critical situation that has developed against the backdrop of Ukraine's growing debt for gas being supplied, as well as the possible consequences for gas transit to Europe," the source said.

Gorbachev called to dissolve the Russian Duma! [link to www.gazeta.ru]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54888721


If Purin dissolves the Duma because of the clearly rigged elections on Dec 4 2011, he will give a new chance of Russia for a fresh start. He distanced himself from United Russia after Dec 2011 and ran for president on independent national platform. Then why not to correct that gross error? What is faked should fall away. Including 2011 Duma. The whole world saw those youtube videos how commissioners faked ballots in polling stations under cameras. Medvedev laughed at those videos and became PM despite everything.

Let the new true winner rule Russia, and not the party who falsified the votes most of all. Putin still will be president until he decides to step down with honor and to leave the power to the next PM elected by the entire Russian people. Not by the apparatus that made 2011 elections possible.

Now Gorbachev is very clear about it, when he is personally attacked by those same people whom he warned in 2011. If it doesn't happen, ultimately we will see scenes of 1991 and 1993 events. Because it is not only Putin who controls the power, as the Western politicians might think. It is all generals, all other power structures known and unknown. Ukraine events may only catalyze the outcome in Russia itself.

One cannot afford to have the biggest country on this planet in 21st century ruled like that with the intentions to become even bolder on the world scene with a nuclear stick behind its back. Unless one is prepared for a nuclear war. Then it would matter not the number of the votes but the number of the shelters, because no one else will survive. Does Putin contemplate a world in which Russia is the biggest survivor however devastated it will be after the strikes, in no matter how damaged planet earth? That is terrible to think about but the cold logic leads to that.

Re: UKRAINE/RUSSIA NEWS: Russian military drills begin near Ukraine day after militants announce 100k strong mobalisation!!!p.7387
Something annoys me with all the talk, speculation and reporting regarding a possible invasion of Ukraine by Russia. Ukraine is one of the largest countries in Europe and, despite many ill-informed people mocking them, the Ukrainian armed forces are sizeable and actually quite well-equipped and trained (Okay, they have some not so good units, but they are much more of a force than any the west, for example, has recently taken on).

The simple fact that most people are missing is this: it will take a long time to prepare for an invasion (especially if you are trying to do it as subtly as possible). Look at previous large scale invasions, Fall Gelb, D-Day, Desert Storm etc. It took many months to gather all the forces, establish logistics and infrastructure. Of course, Russia already had sizeable forces in the western regions, but I don't think many people grasp the size of the areas we are talking about. Plus the Russians have to ensure they have their entire western borders reinforced for any potential retaliation by NATO.

So basically we have a steady military build-up for what, a month? Troops and equipment, logistics and infrastructure, all being moved and set-up. But so many people are saying things like "if Russia wanted to invade they would have by now, so obviously they aren't". I suggest this; that the Russians are indeed preparing for an invasion, but that most western commentators, including most people on GLP, simply do not grasp the scale of this operation at all. We have become so used to relatively small expeditionary conflicts, in relatively low-intensity environments, that we have lost all sense of what a real, large scale invasion of a well-equipped first-world nation takes to prepare.

We should expect the Russian military build-up to continue for several more months at least. They will do it relatively slowly and steadily as to not provoke to much fear. In the meantime they will make token gestures like returning captured Ukrainian military equipment. They do this to keep the west constantly second-guessing itself. Then, in late summer, before the weather gets too bad, they will invade. I would say September at the latest.
