Russia - 'Patriots in Poland violates NATO agreements'

The Russian Foreign Ministry has said that the permanent stationing of US Patriot missiles in Poland, which arrived in the country this week, "is a violation of the basic agreement between Russia and NATO in 1997."

Deputy head of Russian diplomacy Aleksandr Grushko told the Golos Rosyi radio station that NATO the document says that all sides must refrain from stationing permanent military forces in border regions, including territories of new member states.

The Patriot missiles and around 100 American troops are stationed in Poland just 60 kilometres from Russia's Kaliningrad border.

Minister Grushko said Moscow is monitoring the process since the presence of these missiles evokes anxiety. The official added that there are no logical explanations for stationing Patriots near Russia's borders.

On Thursday Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, demanded an explanations from Poland and the US on the issue.

The head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian Lower House Konstantin Kosachov, in Warsaw this week, said that from the military view point the location of Patriot missiles on Polish territory seems irrelevant, but raises questions of political nature.

Sikorski - no apologies

"Poland will not apologise for exercises or training conducted together with her allies," said Poland's head of diplomacy. Radoslaw Sikorski.

Commenting on the statement of the Russian deputy foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski said that the S-300 Russian air defence system is stationed close to Poland's border. He underlined that as a NATO state Poland has every right to set up defence systems together with its ally and this should not cause any problems.

2.: Millions Of Colombians Displaced: U.S. Values Dollars Over Lives

Millions of displaced Colombians demand US respect human life, not money

US corporations are under fire for aiding the creation of world's second largest displaced population. Activists claim millions of Colombians have been driven from their homes.

In light of the issue, hundreds of protestors have gathered at Washington DC's Capitol Hill. People brought pictures of those who have suffered as a result of the activities of major US companies in Colombia's indigenous territories, which are rich in natural resources. Millions have not only been displaced, but also are either missing, tortured or have been killed.

Afro-Colombian Marino Cardovo fled from his home to the United States after paramilitary groups came in and violently removed residents in his village. "Military and paramilitary came to my town. They bombed out my town, they persecuted Africans living in the area," Marino told RT.

Marino is one of millions uprooted from his native territory. He became an IDP – an internally displaced person.

Colombia's internally displaced population is one of the largest in the world, second to Darfur. The activists in DC hope a congressional resolution introduced back in March will gain enough support to urge the Obama administration to address Columbia's IDP problem and the ongoing seizure of Afro-Colombian and indigenous territories. All of it, they say, is linked to multinational corporations inside Colombia.

"Chiquita Banana has already testified, has confirmed its own guilt. They paid off paramilitaries to the tune of millions. During the time they were paying paramilitaries and guerrillas, 14,000 people in Colombia were killed," Ben Beachy, National Organizer from Witness For Peace organization told RT.

Organizers say US involvement in training, equipping and funding Colombia's military is escalating the crisis. They want an immediate end.

"Graduates of the schools have been involved in human rights abuses, torturers, massacres over and over again," people who came to the Capitol Hill to participate in the protest claim. They also want the US to block the US–Colombia free trade agreement.

People hope the decisions the Obama administration will make on Colombia will favor the victims over the corporations.

Nato Commanders Meet Puntland Officials Off Bossaso

PUNTLAND - Officials from Somalia's Puntland state got opportunity to interact and discuss with the Commander of the NATO Task Force, Commodore Steve Chick and his team who are patrolling the waters off Somalia as part of NATO's counter-piracy operation, code-named Ocean Shield.

The meeting took place on board NATO flagship HMS CHATHAM, which was anchored few miles off Bossaso port, the commercial capital of Puntland.

According to Abdi Ali Hirsi (Qarjab), the governor of Puntland's Nugal region, the commander and his team briefed officials on NATO's and the other counter piracy forces, including the EU Naval Force (EU NAVFOR) and the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) operations in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean to fight piracy.

"25 officials from Bari, Karkaar, Nugal and Mudug regions of Puntland attended the meeting and we critically analyzed the anti-piracy mission," Qarjab said.

"The NATO officials informed us that they would be meeting Puntland public and government [figures] including the president who is currently out of the country," he added.

NATO, which has fleets off Somalia's coastlines, has established a working relationship with Puntland in an attempt to uproot piracy off the Horn of Africa.

4.: Predators, Warriors And Ravens: CIA Wages Drone War

Posted by: "Rick Rozoff" rwrozoff@yahoo.com rwrozoff

Irish Times

Predators, Warriors and Ravens: the CIA drones wage war
The CIA's use of unmanned aircraft to kill insurgents and militants marks a turning point in the history of war, writes LARA MARLOWE, Washington Correspondent

-On March 24th the state department's legal advisor, Harold Koh, made the clearest statement yet of the Obama administration's policy on drone strikes. Koh said the strikes were legal under the 2001 Congressional Authorisation for Use of Military Force, and under the principle of self-defence. He called them "targeted killings" – the Israeli term – not assassinations.

The courtyard of the Pentagon feels like a cross between an arms fair and a used-car lot on a fine May morning. "Congratulations 1,000,000 Army Unmanned Aircraft System Flight Hours," says a banner.

With 5,456 US servicemen killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Afghan war going badly, the US military celebrates what it can. Unmanned Aircraft Systems, also known as Unmanned Aircraft Vehicles but referred to as drones, are the military's most important technological asset. Last year the CIA's director, Leon Panetta, called the Predator drone programme "the only game in town".

"We've reached a turning point in the history of war, and maybe in humanity," says Peter Singer, director of defence studies at the Brookings Institution and author of Wired for War, which chronicles the shift to robotic warfare. There were only a handful of drones in the inventory when the US invaded Iraq in 2003, Singer says. "Today there are more than 7,000 airborne drones, and some 12,000 ground-based robots....Very soon there will be tens of thousands."

This week the army chose to advertise its drone revolution by inviting journalists to a press conference celebrating the millionth hour. Col Gregory Gonzalez, project manager for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, tells us drones are equivalent to the use of radar in the second World War, or helicopters in Korea and Vietnam. "They've been funding us really well, because they know there's a bang for the buck," Col Gonzalez says.

A representative selection of the army's drones are displayed in a lane under the trees. There's a Shadow, equipped with an Israeli-made camera, used mainly for surveillance, but also for some targeting, and the diminutive Raven, a battlefield surveillance drone that is launched by hand.

The only weaponised drone, and the star of the exhibition, is the Warrior, a souped-up Predator that carries four laser-guided Hellfire missiles under its wings. The army calls it the Grey Eagle. "There are rules in army aviation that you have to have a North American Indian chief or tribe name," says Lt Col Kevin Messer.

Predator drones have been used extensively by the CIA to assassinate alleged al-Qaeda and Taliban militants in the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan. The army uses drones mostly in what it calls TIC (troops in combat) incidents. The CIA does not comment on its top-secret programme, though the New York Times reported this month that the intelligence agency believes it has killed more than 500 militants in the past two years "and a few dozen nearby civilians". Other estimates of civilian victims range much higher.

Elsewhere in Washington – in think tanks, on university campuses and in the higher echelons of government – the reliance on unmanned aircraft to search out and kill perceived enemies has prompted heated debate. But here in the Pentagon the language is technical and acronym-packed, devoid of geopolitical or moral content.

Each army Predator costs $6 million "without payload", Col Messer explains. I hear about its SAR (synthetic aperture radar), GMTI (ground moving target indicator) and EOIR (electrical optical infrared) ball. The drone's ungainly "camel hump" hides a rotating satellite dish. Its mission is RSTA (reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition). "If it's a target I want to prosecute, I can do it," says Col Messer. "If it's a target I want to kill, I can do it. It is the sexiest programme in the army."

The technology is becoming more accessible. Forty-three nations are building military robots, as are some non-state actors, such as the Lebanese Hizbullah.

Critics of the US's reliance on drones portray it as a cowardly weapon, since operators can kill without any risk to themselves. An executive order handed down by president Gerald Ford in 1976 banned US intelligence from carrying out assassinations. Before 9/11, US officials criticised Israel for assassinating Hamas leaders. That changed after the atrocities of 9/11, when George W Bush authorised the CIA to kill members of al-Qaeda and their allies anywhere in the world and Congress approved the measure.

On March 24th the state department's legal advisor, Harold Koh, made the clearest statement yet of the Obama administration's policy on drone strikes. Koh said the strikes were legal under the 2001 Congressional Authorisation for Use of Military Force, and under the principle of self-defence. He called them "targeted killings" – the Israeli term – not assassinations.

The Obama administration has more than doubled the number of drone strikes. Some influential policymakers, including Vice-President Joe Biden, advocate relying even more heavily on drones to fight al-Qaeda and the Taliban, to keep US soldiers out of battle.

The killing of Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Taliban in Pakistan, along with 11 family members and bodyguards by a Predator drone last August, was considered a triumph for US intelligence. But as Jane Mayer reported in the New Yorker, it took 16 missile strikes over more than a year for the CIA to kill Mehsud. Between 207 and 321 people were killed in those strikes, depending on which news reports one tallies.

Now the CIA is trying to kill Anwar al-Awlaki, the US-born cleric who is believed to have inspired the Fort Hood killings last November and the attempted car-bombing of Times Square this month. Awlaki lives in Yemen, where the drones are searching for him. If US authorities wanted to tap his telephone, they would need a court warrant. But the CIA can assassinate him with the approval of the National Security Council and no judicial review.

Peter Singer says there have been 134 unmanned airstrikes in Pakistan. "But we don't call it a war. We perceive it differently." There is also a danger, says Singer, that the military and CIA succumb to "the tempation of technology" and go after "low-hanging fruit". He does not oppose drone strikes, but wants them to be handed over to the military – not the CIA. "I want someone in uniform to be in charge of that."

In the US the drone strikes are presented as efficient, precise and costless. In the Middle East and Pakistan they are perceived as cruel and cowardly. Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistani-born US citizen who tried to detonate a home-made car bomb on Times Square, told a friend he was angered by the drone strikes in Pakistan. Critics question whether the political "blowback" from drone strikes outweighs the strategic advantage.

5.: Russian Parliament Considers Response To U.S. Missile Deployment

Posted by: "Rick Rozoff" rwrozoff@yahoo.com rwrozoff

Duma to consider response to U.S. missile deployment in Poland

[Video:
http://en.rian.ru/video/20100527/159180262.html

Moscow: The State Duma will discuss Russia's response to the deployment of U.S. missiles in Poland during debates on the new Russian-U.S. strategic arms reduction treaty, Duma speaker Boris Gryzlov said on Saturday.

In an interview with the Rossia TV channel, he suggested one possibility could be the deployment of Russian missiles in the Kaliningrad exclave near the Polish border.

"I would not like the situation to develop," he said. "[Military] reinforcement in Kaliningrad Province as a response has been discussed... There is no doubt that this issue will be discussed in the Duma."

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said earlier on Saturday his country would not apologize to Russia for hosting U.S. Patriot missiles.

His remarks came in response to Moscow's reaction with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko saying on Friday nothing could justify the deployment of U.S. missiles near the Polish-Russian border.

Commenting on Grushko's remarks, he said S-300 Russian air defense systems were stationed close to Poland's border.

Sikorski stressed that as a NATO member state Poland has every right to set up defense systems together with its allies and this should not cause any problems.

The United States opened on Monday a temporary military base near the northern Polish town of Morag, 80 km (50 miles) from the Russian border, in accordance with an agreement negotiated under former President George Bush in 2008.

The U.S. troops will be deployed at the base to train Polish forces until 2012, when the base is expected to become permanent. The move has brought a strong reaction from Moscow, which is particularly displeased by its proximity to Russia's Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad.

Russia has suggested the base be moved away from the borders, and the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that the deployment did not enhance regional security and cooperation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday that Moscow expected an explanation on the deployment of U.S. Patriot missiles.

President Dmitry Medvedev on Friday submitted the new Russian-U.S. strategic arms treaty for ratification to the State Duma.

The new START treaty, signed on April 8 in Prague, replaces the 1991 pact that expired in December. The deal is expected to bring Moscow and Washington to a new level of cooperation in the field of nuclear disarmament and arms control.

The treaty stipulates that the number of nuclear warheads be reduced to 1,550 on each side over seven years, while the number of delivery vehicles, both deployed and non-deployed, must not exceed 800.

U.S. President Barack Obama told Medvedev on May 13 the United States had already submitted the document for ratification to the Senate.

6.: Gates Orders U.S. Forces To Adopt 'AfPak' Counterinsurgency Means

Gates Orders Services To Adopt McChrystal's COIN Standards
By JOHN T. BENNETT

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has directed the U.S. military services to adopt a set of counterinsurgency (COIN) tools modeled after ones instituted in Afghanistan by Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, said a senior Pentagon official.

Gates on May 24 signed a directive ordering the services to "take McChrystal's COIN training and proficiency standards ... and adapt those for the whole force," Garry Reid, deputy assistant secretary of defense for special operations and combat terrorism, told Defense News May 25.

The idea is to take the kinds of COIN training and "proficiency" standards that McChrystal, the top American general in Afghanistan, implemented there with his "AfPak Hands" program.

The "Hands" effort was formally launched last fall with the endorsement of Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen.
....
Gates wants the new military-wide training and proficiency standards to be "in line" with those used in McChrystal's "Hands" program, Reid said.

"Every service member needs some understanding" of the local population, culture and language "when they're going to be on the ground," he said during prepared remarks at an industry conference in Arlington, Va.

The memo instructs the Pentagon's top policy shop in coming months to develop the framework for the standards. It will then be up to the services, Joint Staff and other military components "to fill those out - as they would with anything else," Reid said.

Eventually, Reid told the conference, the COIN standards could be expanded.

"Ideally, we will [one day] have a global approach," he said, adding the standards might be amended to reflect "region-by-region" specifics.

7.: Israel To Deploy German Nuclear Missile Submarines Off Iran

Israel stations nuclear missile subs off Iran
Uzi Mahnaimi in Tel Aviv

-"The 1,500km range of the submarines' cruise missiles can reach any target in Iran," said a navy officer.

Three German-built Israeli submarines equipped with nuclear cruise missiles are to be deployed in the Gulf near the Iranian coastline.

The first has been sent....

The submarines of Flotilla 7 — Dolphin, Tekuma and Leviathan — have visited the Gulf before. But the decision has now been taken to ensure a permanent presence of at least one of the vessels.

The flotilla's commander, identified only as "Colonel O", told an Israeli newspaper: "We are an underwater assault force. We're operating deep and far, very far, from our borders."

Each of the submarines has a crew of 35 to 50, commanded by a colonel capable of launching a nuclear cruise missile.

The vessels can remain at sea for about 50 days and stay submerged up to 1,150ft below the surface for at least a week. Some of the cruise missiles are equipped with the most advanced nuclear warheads in the Israeli arsenal.

The deployment is designed to act as a deterrent, gather intelligence and potentially to land Mossad agents. "We're a solid base for collecting sensitive information, as we can stay for a long time in one place," said a flotilla officer.

The submarines could be used if Iran continues its programme to produce a nuclear bomb. "The 1,500km range of the submarines' cruise missiles can reach any target in Iran," said a navy officer.

Apparently responding to the Israeli activity, an Iranian admiral said: "Anyone who wishes to do an evil act in the Persian Gulf will receive a forceful response from us."

U.S. Ambassador: Romanian troops are fighting side by side with U.S. troops for the same values and ideals

Romanian and US troops are fighting side by side for the same values and ideals, U.S. Ambassador to Romania Mark Gitenstein said on Friday, on the occasion of the ceremony of remembrance of U.S. soldiers who served their country in the World War II, fighting on Romanian territory.

"It's a big consolation for us, as Americans, to know that now, more than fifty years after those events, Romanian troops continue to fight together with the U.S. troops, for the same values and ideals. Second Lieutenant Leu (i.e Valerica Leu, a Romanian soldier who died recently in Afghanistan) gave his life, the same as 5,000 US soldiers did, in Afghanistan and Iraq, to defend the same values," the chief of the U.S. mission in Romania said in his speech.
....
Attending the commemoration ceremony at the Monument of American Heroes in the Kiselev Park in Bucharest, there was also the Secretary of State for National Defense, Michael Vasile Ozunu, but also Romanian and American military staff.
