Russia is continuing it's quest to move back to USSR
Hey folks,
First day into the new year. January 1, 2009, and we see that Russia is continuing it's quest, or Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's quest that is, to bring Russia back to the good ol days of the USSR.
As I have been telling you, Russia is on the move. Putin wants to restore all the Russian Territories and will do pretty much anything to achieve it. The Georgia war was the latest move.
Now it appears to be the Ukraine. Remember back on September 17, 2008 I posted this.
The Russia / Georgia War is NOT a surprise. They want it back. They do not like America being allies with Georgia. Nor do they like the fact that they CHOSE to break away from the Mother Country.
I keep telling you that Putin, wants the old Soviet Union back. First was Azerbaijan. A former Soviet republic that borders the Caspian Sea, and lies just north of Iran. This is where we discovered another Islamofascist terrorist attack being planned to be carried out against the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Baku.
Then we have Russia invading Georgia. And seizing control of the oil pipelines there. Then I told you that the Ukraine's governing coalition collapsed on that Tuesday in a crisis that threatens to knock the ex-Soviet country of 47 million people off its pro-Western course and back into Moscow's orbit.
Now we have this from the AP - Russia's Gazprom cuts all gas to Ukraine by LYNN BERRY
MOSCOW – Russian gas monopoly Gazprom said it cut all gas supplies to Ukraine on Thursday morning after talks broke down over payments for past shipments and a price for 2009.
That's not it folks.
Gazprom spokesman Igor Volobuyev said the cuts began as planned at 10 a.m. (0700GMT and 2 a.m. EST) Thursday.
A spokesman for Ukrainian gas company Naftogaz confirmed a steady drop in supplies.
There are fears that a cutoff could lead to a repetition of a January 2006 gas crisis. Then, a similar dispute between Russia and Ukraine briefly interrupted gas shipments to many European countries. Ukraine controls the pipelines through which Russia supplies most of its customers in Europe.
While cutting gas to Ukraine, Gazprom said it also has increased the gas pumped through pipelines that mainly serve Europe, which gets about a quarter of its gas from Russia.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has warned Ukraine against diverting gas intended for other customers, saying that could have "quite serious consequences for the transit country itself" by damaging relations with Europe.
Now this addition "by damaging relations with Europe." is this Writer's, Lynn Berry, interpretation of what Putin meant. I am not sure if Mr. Berry is correct here. Putin probably was warning them of "quite serious consequences for the transit country itself" by Russia itself. It will be an excuse to have Russia take control of the country itself.
Ukraine's president and prime minister issued a statement saying they would guarantee the uninterrupted transit of natural gas through Ukrainian territory to Europe.
Natural gas is used for heating and to generate electricity, and the cutoff comes as Europe approaches the depths of winter. Naftogaz director Oleh Dubina has said that Ukraine has enough gas in reserve to last it through early April.
The deadlock over gas supplies reflects the deep political split between Moscow and Kiev.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has angered the Kremlin through his efforts to build ties to Western Europe and his support of Georgia in its August war with Russia.
THERE YOU GO! THAT is the reason. That and Putin wants the Ukraine back. The Price thing is a flimsy cover. A smoke and mirrors thing. Not to meant that the Ukraine was set to deny the Russian Navy from using their Ports during the Georgia conflict.
Remember on September 22, 2008, I posted this.
A Russian navy squadron set off for Venezuela Monday, an official said, in a deployment of Russian military power to the Western Hemisphere unprecedented since the Cold War.
The Kremlin recently has moved to intensify contacts with Venezuela, Cuba and other Latin American nations amid increasingly strained relations with Washington after last month's war between Russia and Georgia. During the Cold War, Latin America became an ideological battleground between the Soviet Union and the United States.
Folks, I keep warning you that there is a new Cold War Brewing. The Putin is still very much in charge of Russia and he WANTS the USSR back. He WANTS the Cold War Back.
Since January 20, 2008 I have been warning you about the new Cold War. I have been pleading with you to make the right choice for the Next President of the United States. I said this back then.
WE need a person in the White House that sees this as a very REAL threat and someone that is not afraid to make the tough decisions when needed. Someone who could not care less about polls, and popular opinion and just do their job. Keep America safe. Think about it.
You, the majority of the American People, seem to think that Obama is the guy. OK. Fine. I HOPE Obama is paying attention.
