Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin called for the unification ofpost-Soviet states into a “Eurasian Union” in an article published Tuesday on the announcement of his planned return to the Kremlin. Putin’s article in the Izvestia daily outlining a grand project to integrate post-Soviet states into closer cooperation comes five months before polls that can put him at the helm of foreign policy decisions for at least six years. The front-page piece, titled “New Eurasian integration project: a future that begins today”, sings praises to Russia’s economic integration with Belarus and Kazakhstan. But, Putin writes, “we set a more ambitious goal to go to the next, higher level of integration — the Eurasian Union,” which would “build on the experience of the European Union and other regional coalitions.” Russia has pursued for several years closer economic cooperation with ex-Soviet partners, forming a customs union with Belarus and Kazakhstan in 2009 and later developing it into what it calls a unified economic zone. Putin called the project a “historic breakthrough” for all post-Soviet states, which would break barriers for business dealings as well as people looking for a job. “The idea is not to recreate the Soviet Union in some form,” Putin writes, adding that the Eurasian Union would combine human and economic capital of its members to “ensure the stability of global development.” The political potential of this project, said Putin, is to “create real conditions to change the geopolitical and geoeconomic configuration of the entire continent and have an undoubtedly positive global effect.” The plan to create a Eurasian Union raises questions as to Russia’s future within the World Trade Organisation, which has been a permanent issue on the foreign policy agenda of President Dmitry Medvedev. Russia is the biggest economy still outside the trade organisation, and has pursued membership for many years. Putin did not explain in his article however how unification with other post-Soviet states would help its accession. The article, his third Russian piece since 2009, is the first published by Putin since he announced on September 24 his decision to seek the presidency in March after serving as head of state in 2000-2008. Putin has also penned stories for British and Polish newspapers.

Pull my finger! Let's see here. A "Eurasian Union". Hmmm,that seems to remind me of something,but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. Could it be Auto Union? Teamsters Union? What? What? Seems like it was a "something Union". I have it on the tip of my tongue,but just can't remember it.

Amerikans will have Zero Clue on why their way of life has disappeared: Google: Showing results for Russian Missile china india Search instead for Eurasian Missile china india Now why would google replace my 'Eurasian' with Their 'Russian'? And how many articles in the entire page related to what I know is out there? One. 'Iran, Russia, China mulling joint missile shield' - Tehran Times www.tehrantimes.com/.../2...ing-joint-missil...Cached You +1'd this publicly. Undo Sep 25, 2011 – TEHRAN - Unofficial sources have announced that Iran, Russia, and China are currently holding talks on a proposal to establish a joint missile ...
Want to know how the Soviet State Media operated? Turn on your TV. Watch AP.
Sometimes it seems like nothing really changes,even though practically everybody agrees changes should be made. This proves beyond the shadow of any doubt that Putin is a bleeping idiot. Russia is in danger of attack and assimilation from the East,NOT the west. The ONLY danger the West represents to her is the "danger" of the established power base losing their power over the people. Joining up with the fascists in China and Iran may work well when it comes to keeping Putin (the KGB)and the Russian Orthodox Church in place as district managers,but it's a giant step back towards the 1920's for the typical Russian.

Clinton promises Not to move NATO into former Warsaw Pact Nations. Yeah right. China's the threat. And you also think that the Missiles NATO wanted in Czech were to deter the Iranians...;} And that's Also the reason that Russia sold China it's Sunburn/Yakhont Missile Technology.
Yeah,they are. And you also think that the Missiles NATO wanted in Czech were to deter the Iranians...;} Mainly,but also a resurgent police state in the East that is under the domination of the freaking Chinese. Not that this would worry you because you love communism.

How do you know it's not also fascist and socialist?
Mainly,but also a resurgent police state in the East that is under the domination of the freaking Chinese. Not that this would worry you because you love communism. What!? Name that police state under the domination of... And just whythefuuck the Iranians would target Europe. And 'ism's are ideologies. China's only ideology now is 'MakingMoneyism'...note that China, like Iran, have invaded Zero Nations in the last 100 years or more...while we have multiple Vietnams. And please bring up the Dalai Lama now...;}
How do you know it's not also fascist and socialist? Because like you,he is retarded and going to have trouble adjusting to change.

That must be why you are a Tea Bagger, you like change.
There is a really big one you may have heard of named "China",and another one a lot smaller named Tibet. And just whythefuuck the Iranians would target Europe. Jihad. note that China, like Iran, have invaded Zero Nations in the last 100 years or more...while we have multiple Vietnams. Always the apologist for your commie idols,ain't ya? It does seem like you have managed to overlook Korea,Tibet,and one other country that comes to mind named "Viet"-something. Maybe you know the nation I am talking about? Oh,and that doesn't include the multiple minor invasions of Russia the press refers to as "border skirmishes". A more accurate description would be "sticking their toes in the water to see how hot it is."

Blame the Teabagger who first used the term to describe himself... America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Huh?? So "teabagger" is about your supposed outrage over the name of a "stolen" historical event? "Taking back the language" means invoking a nasty gay act to describe advocates of limited gooberment? For a disgusting post-menopausal drunken leftist moonbat you make surprisingly NO sense at all. Carry on being a disgusting, disgruntled Commie hag.

Well that is about as high as they ever get..... Having to use a plexiglass window mounted in their stomach so they can see where they are going!!!
"CHANGE" you can step in..... you've got a hard on for communists...;} note how the USSA's Client States dropped 'communists' in favor of 'terrorists' after 1990. And then 'al qaeda' for 'terrorists' after 9/11. you're showing your age, Sneak...;}
Korea? Those folks who have demonstrated that disarming is suicide while the USSA roams the planet? Those folks? And note how the 'we're about to invade Iran' talk has died down? And that the faster the Iran/Pakistan Pipeline gets built the more bellicose we get towards our 9/11 buddies in Islamabad? Viet Something? Are you trying to say they invaded their own nation? please, sneak. really.
080808 Russia and China and Israel have not forgotten....
Korea? Yes,Korea. It was in all the papers. Also Viet Nam,where they had their asses handed to them,and Tibet,which they are still occuping. Not to mention all the nations they invaded by proxy like African and Central and South American nations by providing arms and training to Maoist terrorists trying to overthrow the governments there. Viet Something? Are you trying to say they invaded their own nation? please, sneak. really. I know that to you "We iz da wurld" commies the whole world is one nation,but Viet Nam and China are two separate nations. Honestly. Even commies can't agree on which commies are supposed to be the ones dictating.

So does everyone else that is sane.

I'm reminded of the American colonel, Harry G. Summers, crowing to a Communist officer after the Vietnam War, "We won every battle." His North Vietnamese opposite number Replied: "That may be true, but it's irrelevant." If Americans learned nothing else from Vietnam, it should have been that winning battles or killing more of the enemy, is not necessarily the key to success. And our military has learned nothing since....;}
So does everyone else that is sane. So Reagan did not defeat the commies? I thought that was the history the USSA was teaching? You know, the Peace Dividend we were supposed to get before Poppy managed to create another enemy? Always another enemy...;}
But we all know that... Lol, you're nothing but a leftist propagandist here. WE all know that.

And Jimmy, YOU'VE got a hard-on for: Capitalism AS a communist, WILL you finally admit that you support chaos, anarchy, and a Communist Regime as the form of governance for the USA?

HUH?? LOL - you're high, right? Hey, I'm sure the US and the rest of the world has unnecessarily been paranoid over a benevolent Red China since 1948. Will you criticize 0bama yet for his warmongering?

I've said many times on these boards that nobody ever won a war by killing privates. If you ain't willing to specifically target the leaders and the financiers,you shouldn't be going to war. BTW,despite your attempt to shift the focus of the discussion away from Chinese invasions,the Chinese DID invade VN,and they did get their asses handed to them.

He defeated the Russian commies to the point their government collapsed. Nobody ever claimed he or anyone else killed every communist on the planet. Nice try,though.

So communism is like cancer? And does the World have colon or lung cancer now...;}
Worse. Nobody gives cancer to someone else.

The Nuke Hanoi Faction. or We had one arm tied behind our backs. But Operation Menu w/ B52's carpet bombing a 1/3 of Indochina not enough. And before we get started on this, Russia made it clear that a nuking would start WWIII. See, once you use nukes, nuking goes worldwide immediately.
See Cancer Rates Soar after 1947 Open Air Nuke 'tests' for rebuttal. And Fukushima now....;}
I'm shifting nothing. And the ONLY humanitarian Invasion in World History is Viet Nam taking out the Khmer Rouge. But these are Outliers, Exceptions to the Rule. No One has gone past and beyond oceans, hemispheres, continents except the USSA.
Uh, now we have sneaky in the roll of research scientist. There lots of evidence linking various infectious viruses to certain cancers.
