Why "questionable"? Do you think of the former Yugoslavia? We all know that everything is calculated and that all of this is undoubtedly largely true. it's cold in the back!
So long that we don't have any more of this fucking oil!
And strongly that we have renewable energies. These bastards will always manage to make us pay for them, but at least there will no longer be these conflicts and all this collateral damage.
In any case, we cannot avoid human loss and worse, there are too many of us on earth, especially too many poor people. : Mrgreen:

Yes it is doubtful on this point ...

I do not think that the concentration camps of Yugoslavia, as well as the mass graves were inventions of the media ...

Too bad the rest was "good" ...

Yes, it remains to be understood why such different ethnic groups managed to live together under Tito (they may have had no choice) when they killed each other afterwards.
Well, now, it is very easy, via a little misinformation, to pit ethnic groups against each other ... and perhaps Mister USA behind. But doing all of this for the construction of a single pipeline to Italy seems a bit excessive to me.

1) they are not that different ... just like most African conflicts ...
2) the dictatorship systematically prevents local nationalist claims, look in iraq: chites and sunites lived (more or less) in peace under saddam ... it is that since the dictator fell that it is shit ...

Toutafé ... bringing ancestral hatreds up to date and above all: arming the different ethnic groups! This is precisely what is being done in Africa ... so pkoi not in yougo? The CIA has several methods to achieve its ends ...

Yes I think the same, there must be "something else" behind ... Hey about yougo, I advise you to watch "Harrison's Flowers"
one of the best films on the subject:

By the way, where did you find .swf? I would like to convert it to .pdf (by transferring the negationist passages which discredit the rest) to put it on the site ...

Russia: who benefits from "oil fever"?

Sending a rocket into space costs less than drilling a well in the Arctic Ocean.


Feature article on Ria Novosti about the difficulty of drilling and exploiting oil in the Arctic.

Hi Christopher!

You can always take screenshots and use paint to recover them and then convert them to pdf.

on Bloomberg,:

It says that a first deposit of a billion barrels has been identified, and that the geology around allows us to hope for an oil zone of magnitude comparable to the US part of the Gulf of Mexico!

...........
Russia's state-run OAO Rosneft said a well drilled in the Kara Sea region of the Arctic Ocean with Exxon Mobil Corp. struck oil, showing the region has the potential to become one of the world's most important crude-producing areas.

The announcement was made by Igor Sechin, Rosneft's chief executive officer, who spent two days sailing on a Russian research ship to the drilling rig where the find was unveiled today. The well found about 1 trillion barrels of oil and similar geology nearby means the surrounding area may hold more than the US part of the Gulf or Mexico, he said.

“It exceeded our expectations,” Sechin said in an interview. This discovery is of “exceptional significance in showing the presence of hydrocarbons in the Arctic.”

The discovery sharpens the dispute between Russia and the US over President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine. The well was drilled before the Oct. 10 deadline Exxon was granted by the US government under sanctions barring American companies from working in Russia's Arctic offshore. Rosneft and Exxon won't be able to do more drilling, putting the exploration and development of the area on hold despite the find announced today.
...............

The Kara Sea well - the most expensive in Russian history - targeted a subsea structure named Universitetskaya and its success has been seen as pivotal to that strategy. The start of drilling, which reached a depth of more than 2,000 meters (6,500 feet), was marked with a ceremony involving Putin and Sechin.

The US administration granted Royal Dutch Shell a final green light this Monday August 18 to drill for oil and gas in the Arctic, a first since 2012. But several environmental organizations intend to contest this authorization.

August 18, 2015 New Factory

Royal Dutch Shell will be able to drill in the Arctic. The permit was granted on an interim basis before the Fennica, the icebreaker that carries drilling equipment, was damaged by unidentified shoals in southern Alaska. This incident delayed the final prospecting license until repairs were made in Oregon. This authorization from the Department of the Interior includes the Chukchi Sea, in northern Alaska.
The oil company had already obtained permits in the Chukchi Sea during the presidency of George W. Bush, before 2009.

The Anglo-Dutch group has already invested some seven billion dollars (6,3 billion euros) in the exploration of the Arctic but it has interrupted its activities in the area since 2012 after a series of setbacks, including the loss of control of a huge platform, on which 18 workers had to be rescued by the coast guard.

According to the US administration, 20% of the world's unlisted oil and gas reserves are in the Arctic. Shell's determination to drill in this region is fueling the anger of environmental organizations, which point to the specific vulnerability of the Arctic, particularly due to climate change. Curtis Smith, a spokesperson for Shell, said the company wanted to "assess what could become a national energy resource." Without ruling out completing the drilling of a well this summer, Shell has not published any detailed timetable.
