Putin "coughs" again: on one side sending tanks 'incognito' and on the other:

Hmm ... It smells of the diplomatic incident doesn't it?

The delivery of the Mistrals to the Russians involves a risk: the vengeance of NATO.

If the Mistrals are delivered, we can expect an Air France plane to be the victim of an accidental missile launch or a collision on the runway with a lost service vehicle.

AMHA, the least bad thing to do is to sell the Mistrals to NATO and to widely compensate the Russians.

We call it lowering our pants, and it's something that is apparently very fashionable in this government ...
A contract commits us and if it is not respected it will send a strong message to other BRICS countries: no longer buy French!
What about NATO? It might be the moment to (re) exit from its integrated command ...

Must believe that a contract does not bind us: example with the cancellation of the order of 6 Airbus A380 placed by the Japanese.

Nuance, nuance ... Here it is EADS which cancels the order for A380 made by a small Japanese low cost company which does not seem to have enough backbones to pay the bill ...!

And I think that if they arrived there, it is that it probably could not yet pay the deposit according to the planned schedule (or that EADS calculated that they could not achieve it. .)

Whereas with Russia, it's a completely different geopolitical context. Putin is very clever in forcing France to choose sides! Because behind all that, in the background, points the specter of the domination of America on the world (in the more or less long term) ... And THIS IS FULLY THAT WE MUST GET OUT, even if we must admit that a few "small" dictators come back here and there to the controls according to the vicissitudes of the search for better political systems: this is the price to pay for a better geostrategic balance of the great world powers. This is the price to pay for the free choice of peoples to self-determine themselves. This is the price to pay so that great dictatorships do not take power at the global level: and I believe that fundamentally what is happening with Russia, the Arab Spring - in perspective with the very marked suspicion of destabilization from all over the Middle East region with certain interests in Israel and the great reinforcement of some of their friends at the CI @ - revolves around these issues there for the future, including what is happening in Syria, well sure!

And it is very obvious that neither in Tel Aviv, nor in Washington, these political manipulations are unanimous! It will take a good capacity for resistance - I mean in the Western camp - to resist the sirens of accelerated globalization, not taking into account neither these legitimate human and humanist aspirations, nor ultimately the environmental situation (which in itself is already a strong indicator of the contempt that these "crowd manipulators" have for the human species: who is much "richer" than they imagine, but perhaps not in dollars ...)

I don't know if anyone has seen the "Special Afghanistan"on Arte the other evening (visible in redif ... +7, do not delay ...) and well that says a very very long time: except what we said about Sufism and Wahhabism, almost everything we have been told about the "monstrous" Taliban, Molah Omar, Bin Laden, women mistreated from their accession to their fall (to resurface in Dash with other objectives?) is false and 95% archi-false. You will see two Western white women investigating in Kabul and elsewhere (yes, if women ...) and going to the most remote combat zones, taking no more precautions than that, and by following the trail of all the places of residence of Molah, from its birth to the height of the war: a stunning Arte dossier!

Today at 14 p.m., the Mistral Vladivostok is under the Russian flag. It was therefore delivered:

He is still in Saint-Nazaire, but is now a Russian boat.

Huge !

Here, here ... Flamby made the right choice ... *

Let's wait to see more!

It's really ... incredible!

Ahahahah the face of the Republicans, I would like to see it!

There is still hope I tell you!

* In fact, from the beginning it made bad, it was bad from Washington's point of view (when one is bad, sometimes one remains!) But which on the contrary serves the world cause of peoples, towards a better balance, right?

This is the official pretext.

With its six A380s, Skymark Airlines wanted to make Business Class low-cost! It displeased the competition and Airbus, under pressure, took the first opportunity to cancel the order.

Skymark Airlines, which had almost entirely paid for its first A380, will not be delivered and the 450 million euros already paid will not be reimbursed. Airbus, which has broken the contract, demands compensation which could amount to several hundred million euros. Skymark Airlines will have lost not far from the billion euros.

That's a "strong message" as sen-no-sen says :D . A word to the wise ...
