"Russia criticizes US sanctions on arms trader
MOSCOW (AP) — The United States has imposed sanctions on the Russian arms monopoly Rosoboronexport along with a dozen of other firms from China, Sudan, Venezuela and other countries for their alleged roles in supplying sensitive technology to Iran, North Korean and Syria.
Notice how it is always designated enemies listed in the Zionist-controlled, agenda-pushing, enemy-creating War Daily, readers -- as the friendly allies of Israel and Pakistan (for now) go unmentioned? It's called CENSORSHIP!
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia's cooperation with Iran and other countries has been in line with the international law. A separate ministry statement suggested the move would worsen prospects for international mediation on Iran."
Isn't that the point?
More provocation:
"US makes move to support Albania, Croatia NATO bid" by Deb Riechmann, Associated Press | October 25, 2008
WASHINGTON - Bush said the United States looks forward to the day when NATO embraces all the nations of the Balkans, including Macedonia.
NATO leaders agreed at a summit earlier this year in Romania to invite Albania and Croatia into the alliance. However, the alliance rebuffed US attempts to begin the process of inviting Ukraine and Georgia, both former Soviet republics, to join. Despite strong US backing to bring them in, Germany, France and some other alliance members opposed the move, fearing it would provoke Russia.
And that they would then freeze this winter!
Ties between Russia and NATO members have been further strained by the Georgia-Russia conflict. The war erupted in August when Georgia launched an attack to regain control of South Ossetia, which broke from Georgian control in the early 1990s. Russian forces swiftly repelled the attack and drove deep into Georgia. --more--"
I can hardly believe the MSM told the truth for once.
See: AmeriKa's MSM Lies about Russia -- AGAIN!
BRUSSELS - Most Russian claims that Georgia is violating a cease-fire agreement in the breakaway region of South Ossetia appear to be unfounded, the head of the European monitoring mission there said yesterday.
Like WMD claims against Iraq, huh?
Russia should provide more details if it has evidence that Georgia is breaching the deal, Hansjoerg Haber said. A war erupted in August when Georgia launched an attack to regain control over South Ossetia. Russian forces swiftly repelled the attack and drove deep into Georgia.
The WEST SAID THAT, huh? And check out AP telling the truth again!
Russia withdrew its forces from parts of Georgia according to the terms of an EU-brokered cease-fire, and the European Union sent a more than 200-member mission to monitor the situation. But Moscow has said that Georgian troops have failed to withdraw from areas near South Ossetia and Abkhazia, another separatist province, and have instigated shootings against Russian forces.

"In general, the observation is that such reports are overblown," Haber told reporters. "There may have been isolated shootings, but no major incidents have been registered." If Russia and its allies in South Ossetia have evidence of Georgian wrongdoing, they should end their refusal to allow the EU monitors into the breakaway region so they can investigate, Haber said.
What UNREAL European FUCKING ARROGANCE!!
"We are pleased to come over to their side of the administrative boundary and inspect what has happened there," Haber said. "We invite them to invite us." On Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the 225 EU monitors of turning a blind eye to Georgian troops' failure to withdraw from areas near South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
"We don't get any details from the Russians, we just get general allegations," Haber said. Asked specifically about allegations that Georgian special forces were in areas near South Ossetia, Haber said some lightly armed units were there, but said their presence was "commensurate and adequate" for policing the region.
Oh, so the EUROPEAN SCUM is a LIAR, too, huh?
Georgia, meanwhile, accused Russian forces of destroying a bridge leading into Abkhazia in order to isolate ethnic Georgians living there. Russian troops demolished the bridge between Gali, in Abkhazia, and Zugdidi, in Georgia proper, Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said.
The bridge was one of the last remaining border crossings into Abkhazia, Utiashvili said. Most of Gali's citizens are ethnic Georgians. Russia's Defense Ministry had no immediate comment yesterday. But the defense minister for Abkhazia's de-facto government blamed the bombing on Georgia.
Russia, meanwhile, appointed ambassadors to South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russia recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent nations after the war and plans to keep 3,800 troops in each region, a much bigger presence than before the war.
BULL!! They were allowed to keep 7,600 hundred troops in the terroritories per a 1991 U.SN. MANDATE! I am SO SICK of the ZIONIST LIES!!!!
Georgia straddles a key westward route for oil and gas from the Caspian Sea region, and has become a focus of competition between Russia and the West for regional clout. --more--"
Yeah, let on to the REAL REASON for all the SHENANIGANS in the LAST PARAGRAPH, MSM -- and LET IT GO at that! Don't FURTHER INVESTIGATE that GLOBALIST AGENDA or ANGLE!!!! God help you PNAC or something ever cross your keyboards!
Of course. any war with Russia bogus! Do you war with someone you sail with?
