Yks kirjutas:Mälu värskendamiseks meenutan, et (kui uskuda wikileaksiga välja imbunud materjale) juba aastal 2010 hakati NATO's eesotsas Saksamaaga (just, just selle sama Saksamaaga, kes osade kaasfoorumlaste arvates Venemaaga mehkeldada armastab), kellele kohe sekundeeris ka USA, välja töötama ja ellu viima Poola ja Baltimaadega seotud intensiivsemaid kaitseplaane.
Soovitan soojalt viie aasta taguseid arenguid NATO liinis meenutada:

Siin ka näide USA saatkonna telegrammist, kus sakslaste osa mainitakse mustvalgelt:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/us-emb ... nts/240187
Nagu mina aru olen saanud, siis pani Saksamaa selliselt Baltimaadele otseselt ja väga soodsalt tegutsema venelaste Zapad-2009.

Ühesõnaga, plaan Kotkast Valvur (Eagle Guardian) nägi ette kaastata kiirreageerimiseks (sic! 2010.aasta mõistes)nelja NATO riigi - Poola, Saksamaa, GB ja USA - vähemalt 9 diviisi suurust koondarmeed. See oli siis plaan 2010.aasta seisuga. On raske uskuda, et täna kehtiv (modifitseeritud)plaan, kui peaks rakendatama artikkel viite, oleks devalveerunum.

Jää hakkas murenema eelmisel aastal ja liikuma umbes-täpselt aasta eest. Wikileaksi lekitatud USA diplomaatiliste esinduste telegrammidest ehk memodest selgub, et USA pealekäimisel saadi Saksamaa nõusse

Uus poliitika löödi lauale USA-Saksa ühisinitsiatiivina.

Ühtlasi antakse telegrammis mõista, et Daalder lasi initsiatiivil paista Saksamaa algatusena.

We've found the way forward with Russia. The Baltic states have received strategic reassurance," said a well-placed source. "That's backed up with contingency planning that did not exist before. It's done now. We told them we'll give you your reassurance if you agree to the reset with Russia. That made it easier for the Germans"During intense – if discreet – diplomacy last year, the resistance was overcome by the Americans, and the new policy was tabled as a joint US-German move."

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Let's imagine a scenario where Russia invades the Baltics. Would NATO go to war?

Brzezinski: If he goes into the Baltic states by invasion, of course. That's the point of NATO, isn't it? We can't say to the world: "We don't mean what we are saying. We'll not do anything if you do anything"? That's a little bit like hanging out a sign on the front door of your home reading: "We are away, the doors are not locked." Do you think that would be a smart security strategy?

SPIEGEL ONLINE: According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, 58 percent of the German population doesn't believe that Germany should use military force to defend a NATO ally if attacked by Russia.

Brzezinski: I've seen that. What percentage of the Germans would say that, if Germany was attacked, the United States should not protect it?

SPIEGEL ONLINE: Probably, the majority would say the US should help.

Brzezinski: Well, of course. That's human nature. That's why I don't worry too much about these things because human nature changes as circumstances change. Look at the Lithuanians, that tiny, little country. They have just announced that they are going to defend themselves, period. That should put Germany to shame. In fact, I believe Germany would fight. I think Ms. Merkel would fight. And the opposition would fight.

„Ma tänan väga õigeusklikke, Vene rahvast toetuse eest. Toetuse eest sellelt suurelt riigilt, vendade riigilt. Me tunneme, et see aitab. Me peame töötama koos. Venemaa ei ole vaenlane,“ teatas Kammenos RT vahendusel.

Париж окончательно решил не поставлять РФ "Мистрали"

Разрыв контракта на поставку французских вертолетоносцев типа "Мистраль" в Россию обойдется в 1,2 млрд евро. Об этом заявил глава Минобороны Франции Жан-Ив Ле Дриан в Вашингтоне, передает Iran English Radio.

Сообщается, что Франция окончательно не поставлять "Мистрали", несмотря на то, что страна должна будет компенсировать несоблюдение условий контракта. Отметим, Париж должен был поставить вертолетоносцы за 1,2 млрд евро согласно соглашению, подписанному в 2011 г.

Напомним, ранее сообщалось, что соглашение о возврате России денег за "Мистрали" будет подписано в ближайшее время.

"Переговоры вступают в завершающую стадию, уже в ближайшее время мы подпишем с французами соглашение о возврате России денег", - заявил помощник Президента России по вопросам военно-технического сотрудничества Владимир Кожин.

In two of the largest interceptions ever seen, the UK Royal Air Force's (RAF's) Eurofighter Typhoons based at Amari Airbase in Estonia identified and shadowed four Sukhoi Su-34 'Fullback' strike aircraft, four MiG-31 'Foxhound' interceptors, and a pair of Antonov An-26 'Curl' transport aircraft on 24 July, while five days later NATO fighters tailed four MiG-31s, four Sukhoi Su-24 'Fencer' strike aircraft, as well as three An-26 and one Ilyushin Il-76 'Candid' transport aircraft that had been flying close to Latvian airspace.

MiG-31 ilmumine siiakanti on midagi uut. Venelastele on kuskile mingi vastav baas tekkinud? Nt vastukaaluks NATO lennuväele Baltikumis?
