Would love to know what Project Avalonians think.
As a 10 year old kid, I was petrified of USSR in the early 60s. I NEVER thought I'd feel any kind of warm hearted feelings toward Russsia or ever trust them, but after reading this article from Veteren's Today (http://www.veteranstoday.com/2012/03/10/why-putin-is-driving-washington-nuts/), and watching this video below, I'm puzzled ... am I really seeing truth or smoke .... that Putin might actually be a "good guy".
Here's the excerpt from Veteran's Today that caught my eye:
..."And then there’s the joker in the pack – the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Putin will want Pakistan to become a full member as much as China is interested in incorporating Iran. The repercussions would be ground-breaking – as in Russia, China, Pakistan and Iran coordinating not only their economic integration but their mutual security inside a strengthened SCO, whose motto is “non-alignment, non-confrontation and non-interference in the affairs of other countries”.
Putin sees that with Russia, Central Asia and Iran controlling no less than 50% of world’s gas reserves, and with Iran and Pakistan as virtual SCO members, the name of the game becomes Asia integration – if not Eurasia’s. The SCO develops as an economic/security powerhouse, while, in parallel, Pipelineistan accelerates the full integration of the SCO as a counterpunch to NATO."
