Dmitri Ragozin head of Russian foreign relations comitee confirms Russian vision of new Europe.

In the week which has seen elections in Serbia eleven years after the first foreign policy decision of the united German state (to recognise Croatian independence). Russian Head of state has met Tony Blair and others to discuss the future of an emergent European superstate and UN policy on Iraq.

It has been reported in the european pres that Dmitiri Ragozin, Mr Putin´s appointee has confirmed to various friendship group that Russia in return for peaceful development of the EU superstate will offer enery resources to the Europeans. This means 9.8percent of the present global reserves of Oil and together with Gas reserves in Europe including the Irish as of yet little exploited gas reserves bringing European gas and oil reserves to 23percent of global capacity.
Mr Ragozin expressed Russian concerns at unilateralism in global affairs and the attempt to impose a "full spectrum dominance" by certain interests presently with power in Washington.
I though like many readers of indymedia was a bit suspicious so I decided to get on my bike and find some russians. As luck would have it this week a "russian navy cadet training vessel" the "CARDOV" registered at St. Petersburg has been on a an "international peace and goodwill mission". (I live in Barcelona by the way).
Members of the public can board (till tomorrow only) the ·Cardov. for only 3€, young officer cadets I spoke to confirmed that 3€ is a lot of money back home.
I mentioned the gas and oil reserves to these young cadets, who are sailing around the mediterranean on a three mast sailing vessel.
They are very skilled at rope and string theory apparently.
Anyway I learnt a little russian when a youngster and though my tutor is now dead (Dr. Roberts TCD RIP) with the help of a passerby I was able to engage in friendly conversation with these young cadets.
The russian word for "enough" as in "enough" oil/gas/prostitution in our borders in russian is "DOSTA" if you´re interested.
I wish the 23 crew of the CARDOV well as they tomorrow set sail for Malta.
By the way "CORDOV" is what it looks like in russian the third letter looks like a little triangle.
(the sort that sometimes have an eye above or in Barca have a question mark).
