In the latest edition of Geopolitical Weekly, George Friedman, CEO of private intelligence corporation Stratfor, discusses US strategies of containment by encircling Russia with a military alliance reaching from Estonia in the North to Azerbaijan in the South.

He concludes that Russia is much weaker than the SU and that, from a historical perspective, the US has no choice but to “engage Russia in conflict.” He seems to envision a repeat of the strategy of containment that resulted in the collapse of the SU at the end of in the cold war for the Russian Federation to further isolate and weaken Russia. However, instead of direct deployment of US military main force, he recommends building a military alliance from Estonia to Azerbaijan. The alliance, which would also include Poland, Romania, Moldova, Georgia, etc. would be more suitable for confronting Russia than Nato because, unlike Nato, its members would not have veto power. In addition to training and military hardware supplied to these countries, the US would support the alliance by economic and financial measures taken against Russia.

In the same context, the German weekly Der Spiegel cites a 7-page confidential Nato document according to which Nato is to increase its cooperation with Armenia, Azerbaijan and Moldova. The so-called Nato partnership committee has elaborated a catalogue of concrete measures for promoting cooperation with these countries.

Specifically, these countries are to be encouraged to increase the inter-operability of their armed forces, participate in Nato “Smart Defense Projects” such as surveillance operations.

Moreover, specific aid measures are planned for each of these countries. For example, Nato visibility is to be increased in Moldova. Moldova is also to participate in the rapid action troops of the Nato Response Force. Azerbaijan is to cooperate with Nato for Cyber- and Energy-Security, while the training of troops is to be at the forefront of measures for Armenia.

Nato members have already agreed on these measures. Some, including Nato Secretary General Fogh Rasmussen favor a further Nato East expansion, others, including the German government, don’t envision a further Nato expansion at this point of time.

You must be a Rothchild banker!

We have at the moment (only two powers sans ourselves) to be concerned with in respect to military actions; China and Russia.

The Russian extravaganza is a family affair and we shouldn't be involved. The west is pissed because "we've shot out wad" and are broke. ON top of that our potential enemies have the oil and little if any debt.

Should China down the road feel the need to expand we and Russia would be needed to contain them.

We need fewer not more arrangements with other countries. Boots on the ground ? ( It will be too contaminated by the Nuke's). We

need the best weapons, to be fired when all else fails as a "Finale".

Me, a Rothchild banker? It boggles the mind!

As to what we need to be concerned about, that is clearly an expansionist Western military alliance brought into play to prop up a dysfunctional system of financial capitalism.

From a global perspective, I do believe that a neutral Eurasia from Lisbon to Vladivostok is the only chance for civilization to survive between the inhumane and abusive practices of wild-West and wild-East capitalism.

But then, perhaps it is just as well if civilization does not survive.

Illustration of the futility of trying to override lust for an others possession.

Two grizzled old miners went deep into Alaska in search of gold.

After many months of fruitless search and loneliness they talked about their deprivation and decided more than anything else they missed sex.

There of course were no women available so in desperation they each fashioned a board, cut a knot hole in it and satisfied themselves.

Sometime later not having heard from the miners a search party was dispatched and finally located only one miner.

Upon questioning it came out one miner admitted he had killed the other. What reason he was asked ? Well, sorrowfully the miner

admitted " I caught him having sex with my Knot hole !
