俄羅斯反對制裁敍利亞

俄羅斯反對制裁敍利亞政府,又指就法國在當地建立「人道主義走廊」提議,俄羅斯需要更多資訊,才决定立場。
俄羅斯外交部發言人盧卡薛維奇在每周新聞發布會上表示,目前各方需要的不是決議、制裁和壓力,而是內部對話。
阿拉伯聯盟爲敍利亞簽署協定的最後期限過去,但敍利亞沒有回應。敍利亞很有可能面臨制裁。

聯合國否決集束彈藥新公約

聯合國否決了有關允許繼續使用集束炸彈的新國際條約。該條約建議只允許使用1980年以前生產的集束炸彈。
美國稱對這一決定「深感失望」。美國代表說,這個新條約本來可以禁止數以百萬計的集束炸彈的使用,並對剩餘的集束炸彈進行具體的限制。
集束炸彈是指散射或釋放在撞擊之時,或之後引爆的爆炸性子彈藥的彈藥。集束彈藥散射或釋放的子彈藥的數量少則幾十,多則可超過600個。
聯合國說,現在已經有111個國家加入了《集束彈藥公約》。它們當中有66個已批准該條約,受到所有公約條款的法律約束;45個國家簽署了公約,但還未完成公約的批准程序。
目前未加入集束彈藥公約的國家包括美國、俄羅斯和中國。

專家料越南需百年拆炸彈

根據專家估計,完全清除越南境內戰爭遺留的各式未爆彈藥,所需花費的時間將超過100年,所需經費將近10億美元。
越南拆除未爆彈行動委員會與來自美國和瑞士的專家,於25、26日在河內進行了兩天的研究和討論,針對越南境內的未爆彈藥拆除工作評估,提出以上結論。
根據會議結論,目前仍有數以萬計的的各式未爆彈遍布越南各地,總面積約660萬公頃,佔全國土地總面積的20.12%。
會議中,專家一致認為,必須採用高科技方法才能完全而有效清除這些未爆彈。
目前越南仍採用落後的方法清除這些未爆彈,不但效果不彰,而且對除爆人員極危險。要靠一些國際機構協助提供先進的除雷除彈技術。

阿聯盟考慮經濟制裁敘利亞

阿拉伯聯盟官員預期將在26日討論對敘利亞進行經濟制裁。
由於大馬士革無視阿拉伯聯盟要求停止暴力鎮壓反敘利亞政府抗議人士的星期五最後期限,沒有簽署讓阿聯盟派觀察員去敘利亞的協定, 阿拉伯聯盟正考慮實行制裁,包括:禁止商業航班飛到敘利亞、中斷敘利亞的一切金融交易,包括停止跟中央銀行的交易、凍結敘利亞政府銀行的戶口。
聯合國表示,敘利亞三月以來的動盪局勢已導致3500人死亡。

法禁伊朗石油 南歐經濟添憂

【經濟日報專訊】法國單方面禁止伊朗石油入口,並游說歐盟跟隨以擴大禁運範圍,藉此對伊朗核計劃施壓。分析認為,禁令將令倫敦布蘭特期油企穩在100美元水平以上,若禁運擴展至歐洲層面,勢必向疲弱的南歐經濟多踩一腳。
制裁核武 迫回談判桌
法國外交部宣布,單方面禁止伊朗石油入口,以制裁伊朗發展核武器,迫使對方重回談判桌。消息指,英國亦支持禁運,兩國正研究措施帶來的影響。紐約及倫敦期油昨隨外圍下跌,分別跌0.1%及1.1%至95.6及106.59美元,但跌勢相對其他商品溫和。
事實上,法國對伊朗實施石油禁運,對兩國本身的衝擊不大。美國能源信息局(EIA)數據顯示,法國上半年平均每日從伊朗入口4.9萬桶原油,佔這個油組(OPEC)第二大石油出口國的石油出口僅2%。
自1979年起,美國已對伊朗石油展開禁運,近期西方政府關注伊朗發展核武,或導致以色列展開軍事行動,法國此舉反映雙方的對峙加劇。
分析師認為,即使經濟增長放援,但對伊朗的禁運制裁,或令倫敦期油維持在100美元以上的水平。商品價格自今年2月起持續高企,油價曾升至接近150美元的歷史水平。
白宮前石油顧問Robert McNally表示,石油市場一直忽視伊朗石油的風險,但隨着歐美開始干預伊朗石油出口,市場開始為油價加上風險溢價。伊朗為油組(OPEC)第二大輸出國,產油量為沙特阿拉伯的三分一。
希意西入口多 料拒參與
另外,法國表示與歐盟國家展開磋商,爭取擴大禁運範圍,但預計將受到鄰國反對,主因希臘、意大利及西班牙同樣非常倚重伊朗的石油,上半年分別每日入口2萬、18.3萬及13.7萬桶,佔相關國家石油入口逾1成。
不少分析認為,利比亞內戰及敘利亞禁運已令歐洲的原油市場緊張,現今法國又自行擾亂供應,或進一步窒礙南歐經濟。瑞士顧問公司 Petromatrix分析師Olivier Jakob指,依賴伊朗石油的歐洲國家,均是出現信貸危機的國家,若伊朗石油遭禁運,希臘的煉油廠亦將面臨困境。

美國想侵略敍利亞嗎? 同時想攻打中國及俄羅斯

Is The U.S. About To Invade Syria … And Pick A Fight With China And Russia?
2011年11月24日 4:41:21

Is the U.S. Gearing Up for a Syrian War?

CBS reports:
“The U.S. Embassy in Damascus urged its citizens in Syria to depart “immediately,” and Turkey’s foreign ministry urged Turkish pilgrims to opt for flights to return home from Saudi Arabia to avoid traveling through Syria.”
Military analyst Statfor reports (as summarized by Zero Hedge):
For the first time in many months, CVN 77 George H.W. Bush has left its traditional theater of operations just off the Straits of Hormuz, a critical choke point, where it traditionally accompanies the Stennis, and has parked… right next to Syria.
***
Naval Update 11 23 11 800 Is the U.S. About to Invade Syria ... and Pick a Fight with China and Russia?
Zero Hedge noted yesterday that a No-Fly zone over Syria – the first concrete step towards war these days – may be imminent.

The American People Don’t War War … But a Syrian War Was Planned 10 Years Ago

I noted in August:
While the U.S. is doing its best to try to whip up support for a war against Syria (a war planned at least 10 years ago), a new Rasmussen poll finds:
Just 12% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the United States should get more directly involved in the Syrian crisis, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Sixty-six percent (66%) think the United States should leave the Syrian situation alone.

Are We Picking a Fight with China and Russia?

This is even more dangerous because China has warned the U.S. against attacking Syria, and Russia has reportedly moved warships into Syrian waters to defend Syria from a U.S. attack.
Relations between the U.S. and Russia have degraded recently. See this and this. This is largely due to the U.S. threatening war against any nation which becomes an economic rival.
May cooler heads prevail.

Is Russia Preparing to Attack United States?

Russia was no longer considered to be a world power after the fall of the former Soviet Union. But, those who have underestimated Russia are in for a rude awakening. Today Russia has the second most powerful military in the world and is number two in the production of both oil and gas. Forbes Magazine estimates Moscow has 79 billionaires - an increase of 21 in just one year. A top-level Russian General Nikolai Makarov said NATO’s eastward expansion or an attack on Iran by the U.S. and Israel could cause Russia to enter the conflicts threatened ‘The possibility of local armed conflicts along nearly the whole border has increased dramatically. In certain conditions, I do not rule out local and regional armed conflicts developing into a large-scale war, including using nuclear weapons.’ In other words, Russia is prepared to use nuclear weapons!
While America has been naively disarming, Russia has over 12,000 antiballistic missiles in its defense system. Many of these ICBM’s are aimed at cities and key locations in America. Ever since the “fall of the Soviet Union,” Russia has been conducting massive military exercise in partnership with nations like Iran and China. These defense drills are designed to help prepare Russia for any U.S. missile attack against their nation. In addition, Russia has been building a vast system of underground bunkers and nuclear blast shelters. Some military experts are speculating Russia is secretly preparing for World War III.
Some intelligence experts believe that Russia may be making preparations for an attack against the United States. The Russians have been storing up grain, foodstuffs, gold, and oil. These Russian underground bunkers can store 326 million tons of grain, and their military can store 80 million tons of grain. Simultaneously, both Republican and Democratic politicians have been steadily disarming America, including the so-called “Super-Committee which made massive cuts to the U.S. military budget, while nations like China are super-charging their military!
Even before the escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran, Russia continues to prepare for nuclear war with the United States. Years ago, the Russian military decided that an all-out nuclear war with the U.S. was winnable. Russia is building massive underground super-cities in order for their top leaders to survive such a nuclear war. Since the 1960’s, when the Anti-War Movement was mobilized, with the help of Russian agents, the Russians vastly increased the building of underground bunkers in case of nuclear war. Russia has numerous giant underground complexes like the giant underground complex the size of Washington D.C., called “Evil Mountain,” or Yamantau Mountain. The purpose of “Evil Mountain” is to enable the Russian elite to survive a nuclear war. In the United States and nations around the world, massive underground bases, many the sizes of cities, are being built in preparation for World War III.
While many geo-political analysts wrote off Russia as a military and economic failure, the prophet Ezekiel made specific productions about Russia as a leading military and economic power in the last days. Russia supplies nations like Iran with scientists, technology and weapons. Ezekiel had a vision of the future where a nation called Russia which in Ezekiel 38 is referred to as the “land of Magog, along with “Meshech and Tuba,” which scholars believe is located somewhere in Russia. The term in Ezekiel 38, “many people’s with thee,” which is the consortium of Middle Eastern nations allied with Russia. The prophet Ezekiel saw this future vision of Russia and Iran invading Israel around 593 B.C., which was thousands of years into the future. Yet, Ezekiel was more accurate than many geo-political analysts alive today.
The prophet Ezekiel gives us a list of the nations that will come against Israel.
“Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.” Ezekiel 38:1-7
