Russia and Uzbekistan join efforts to repulse external aggression from USA
11/15/2005 12:29
A military invasion in Uzbekistan is hardly possible - the US administration will probably try to organize a coup there instead

Islam Karimov, the President of Uzbekistan, arrived in Moscow with an official visit. The signing of the union treaty between Russia and Uzbekistan became the main result of Karimov's visit. In addition to economic cooperation, the document also envisages reciprocal assistance in case of extern aggression shown against one of the sides.

"To guarantee security, maintain peace and stability in necessary occasions on the base of separate contracts, the sides agree to use military objects situated on their territories," Interfax cited the text of the contract.

A quick quote from the CIA World Factbook...

Uzbekistan is the eighth-largest producer of natural gas in the world, but lacks the ability to export most of it. Uzbekistan currently serves as a crucial link in the gas transport chain linking Turkmenistan's enormous gas deposits with Russia.

(BTW, a huge natural gas pipeline runs through Mongolia, linking Russia and China. DUH-bya's shmoozing with his buddies to get the world by the short hairs in that area.)

sorry, I suddenly got that silly song stuck in my head.

:shrug:

where Putin said (and I'm paraphrasing, probably badly): "After 9-11 I was approached by enemies of the United States offering to attack America in Afghanisgtan. To show my support for the US I held them off." Really bizarre and incredibly poorly reported. I'll try and find the link. It's up there with Prince Turki bin Faisal acknowledging the existence of The Safari Club.

"I have never said this in public, I'm going to do it today. When counterterrorist operation began in Afghanistan, we were approached by people, through several channels, we were approached by people who intended to fight against Americans in Afghanistan. And if by that time President Bush and I had not formed appropriate relationship, as we have, so no one knows what turn would the developments in Afghanistan had taken. You know what was Russia's position, and it helped, to a great extent, to achieve further results that we have achieved in Afghanistan, and was for a very good purpose."
