* Sobre Putin e a "ambição de reconstituição do poder imperial russo que constitui uma ameaça potencial à segurança europeia"(FCG)
Esta história do poder imperial russo é como a do Pedro e dos Lobos ou se calhar os moinhos de D Quixote, e já agora, o quanto mais a Europa tinha sido segura no século 20 se de facto, o poder imperial russo do czar nunca tivesse caído e aliás, pelo qual, estupidamente se fez a Primeira Guerra Mundial com o resultado de provocar precisamente (e tragicamente) a queda do Império Russo e emergência do comunismo.
As contas da ciência oculta da geo-estratégia saiem com frequência erradas e com o resultado exactamente oposto.
Assim como começar a WWII por causa da Polónia e esta cair sob o domíno de Estaline. Quase que podiam chamar as duas “boas guerras” pela vitória do comunismo.
Putin tem o apoio da população e tenta recuperar a dignidade de uma “great power”. É a “segurança europeia” que explorando os novos nacionalismos do independentismo-separatismo das ex-republicas russas, sempre dispostas a receber ajuda seja de quem for para se afirmarem (sim hoje da Nato, mas amanhá da China?), induzem a uma reacção mais do que esperada pelos Russos que vêm outros pipelines e outras ambições pelo médio -oriente, afeganistão e outros quintais do que já foi desde tempo imemoriais, Rùssia.

* Sobre a Nicarágua e Cuba
“Former US Lt. Col. Oliver North, who helped organize and raise funds for a terrorist organization that decimated Nicaragua in the 1980s, returned to that country’s ground zero in late October to warn the citizens there against re-electing Daniel Ortega.
Ortega first came to power in a 1979 revolution led by the Sandinistas, which overthrew the brutal Washington-backed dictatorship of Anastasio Somoza. The Somoza family had ruled the country since US Marines invaded and occupied Nicaragua from 1927-1933.
But the US Central Intelligence Agency soon brought guns and money to the enforcers of the toppled dictatorship, Somoza’s hated National Guard. Before long these re-named “contras” were killing health care workers, teachers, and elected officials – the CIA actually prepared a manual which advocated the assassination of the latter. The contras preferred attacking these “soft targets” rather than the national armed forces. In that sense they were very much a terrorist organization; they also used torture and rape as political weapons.
These atrocities brought the contras universal condemnation from humans rights groups such as Amnesty International and Americas Watch. The Sandinistas took the United States to the World Court for its terrorist actions—the same court where the US had won a judgment against Iran just a few years earlier, for the taking of American hostages. The court ruled in favor of Nicaragua, ordering reparations estimated at $17 billion.
The heinous nature of these crimes and the direct involvement of the Reagan Administration disgusted millions of Americans, even more so after Ortega was democratically elected in 1984. Led by activists in the religious community, some hundreds of thousands of US citizens organized against US funding for the contras and convinced Congress to cut it off. That’s where Ollie North came in: on behalf of the Reagan Administration, he illegally sold arms to Iran and used the proceeds to fund the contras. This became the infamous “Iran-Contra” scandal of twenty years ago.
North was convicted of various felonies for his Iran-Contra crimes, but never served time because his conviction was overturned due to a technicality on appeal. In 1990 the Sandinistas were voted out of office by a public weary of war, with President George H.W. Bush making it clear that the violence would continue if the Sandinistas were re-elected.
Nicaragua’s economy never recovered from the war and the US embargo. Today it is the second poorest country in the hemisphere, with a per capita income less than it was in 1960. "
Quanto a Cuba também é um bom exemplo. Cuba foi "libertada" pelos EUA do jugo da Coroa Espanhola, tranformando-se num protectorado que acaba com mais uma revolução dos anteriormente “libertados”, depois, quer o embargo quer as sucvessivas tentativas de assassinato e invasão só ajudaram o regime.
