Playing “Cuba not USA enemy”, involving Cuba
in Energy War against West, Russian provokers
softening USA brains before invading Georgia:
02 August 2008 – 04:15 (NEWSru.com)
Cuba doesn’t want, anymore, military
cooperation with Russia, after Russia closed
RLS (for listening USA telephone and electronic
messages in most of USA, find USA submarines
and serve Russian submarines in Western
Hemisphere) in Cuba without consultations in
2001. In 2000 USA Congress made a law deny
Russia to reconstruct debtor till base is removed.
30-31 July 2008, Patrushev was in Cuba. Russia
will still actively push cooperation in production
and refining hydrocarbon fuels, energy,
transportation, information, biomechanics and
pharmaceutics.

Georgia will not abandon Georgian villages to
Russian Insurgents. Georgian and Russian
peacekeepers evaluated: Stress is escalating.
02 August 2008 – 05:08 (RIA Novosti)
Defense Minister Kurashvili:
“(Georgia) will never again role back, if they
fire at our positions we will answer with fire…
…All our military and police and I will die here
but we will not step back… …the Osetian
peacekeeping battalion participated directly,
they role out their military hardware and were
firing at Georgian positions. We informed
observers about it.” According to official
information firing at Georgian villages
wounded nine civilian villagers and one police
officer. Minister of Reintegration of Georgia
Jacobashvili:
“(Russian) peacekeepers, as I see it, only watch.
They didn’t interfere in the process last night.
(Probably they did participate in firing or in
military supply and logistic support, as
comprises from interviews of  Timerman and
Yamadaev) Separatists doing everything to stay
in power, even paying by life of local people…
…We and Russian peacekeepers themselves
evaluated situation as being stressed. At present
going process of escalation of stress.”

Russia underlined its right to "preventive" nuclear strike:
03 August 2008 (Moscow News)
…by Chief of General Staff Yuri Baluyevsky on Saturday…
…Russia… …one that was eager to bring its defense
doctrine in line with… …Western world and make it more
up to date with contemporary military demands "We are
not planning to attack anyone. But our partners should
clearly understand... …to protect the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Russian Federation and its
allies, including on a preventive basis, including with
the use of nuclear weapons, he underlined, however,
that "military force can and must be used to
demonstrate the decisiveness of the top leadership of the
country" (To crush resistance to Russian invaders)
…in line with the doctrine President Vladimir Putin
began spelling in 2000…
Karaganov pointed to countries in Asia:
"…we will see who's ready to join our nuclear umbrella."
(CIS already have right to termo-nuclear and ballistic
umbrella - non-Russian nationals and nations created
them!
Russia is only a holder of the trust because of pressure
of USA and Britain with regard to Strategic Threaties
at the time of transformation of USSR into CIS.
They are talking about overstock of the A-bombs that
produced secretly by Russia itself, because of
treasonous transfer of high concentrate producing
plants for A-bombs by Bechtel and British Monarchists
to Russian-Prussian spies from Russia - to use it as act
of treason against non-Russian nations and conquer
their territories to breed Russians.)
…(Russia) successfully test fired supersonic cruise
missiles close to the Iberian Peninsula… …Moscow
Region would have a second unit operating a S-400
Triumph zenith anti-missile system by the end of the
year.

provoked shooting… …Tbilisi claims the Osetin side
started fire and they had to fire back… … On August 2
(appointed by Russia insurgent) President of South
Osetia Eduard Kakoity blamed Ukraine and USA in
supplying arms to Georgia… …by his words it was Kiev
and Washington that sent to Tbilisi sniper riffles used in

riffles, by Russian insurgent grabbers, to defend
themselves more effectively, angers Russians)

of Abkhazia to talk… … ”old tricks” of Russia lose
effectiveness, “it is why they escalate artificially…
…Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia also helping
(escalation). Yesterday they state an announcement of
war."
(Real South Osetins and real Abkhazians, including
hold in bondage on occupied territories, became more
attracted to Georgian success in rebuilding Georgia
and outlining Georgian Provinces, and less afraid of
Genocidal Russia. Russia is furious and eager to invade,
starting with rebuilding “Upper Abkhazia”)

Russians… …we’ll have dialog with Russians… …they try
brake negotiations (German plan)… …strange protest
