اوباما يصل الى ستوكهولم لبحث الملف السوري
Read this story in English
وصل الرئيس الاميركي باراك اوباما الاربعاء الى ستوكهولم المحطة الاولى في جولة تستغرق ثلاثة ايام في اوروبا سيحاول خلالها الحصول على المزيد من التاييد لسياسته المتعلقة بسوريا.
وكان في استقبال اوباما سفير الولايات المتحدة في السويد مارك برزينسكي واعضاء من الحكومة السويدية بينهم نائب رئيس الوزراء يان بيوركلوند.
وغادر الموكب مطار ستوكهولم-ارلاندا بعد دقائق على وصول الرئيس الاميركي متوجها الى العاصمة السويدية حيث سيلتقي اوباما رئيس الوزراء السويدي فريدريك راينفلت على ان يعقدا مؤتمرا صحافيا بعد ذلك.
وستطغى الازمة السورية وموضوع التبادل الحر على النقاشات. وقال وزير الخارجية السويدي كارل بيلد "نامل في ان يتمكن مجلس الامن من الاتحاد حول هذه النقطة".
وبعد المؤتمر الصحافي المشترك، سيقوم اوباما بتكريم ذكرى راوول والنبرغ الدبلوماسي السويدي الذي انقذ عشرات الاف اليهود المجريين عام 1944 و1945، وذلك بمناسبة زيارة الى كنيس ستوكهولم.
ويزور بعدها المعهد الملكي للتكنولوجيا حيث سيناقش "الابتكارات السويدية في مجال الطاقة الخضراء والبيئة".
وفي المساء يتناول اوباما العشاء مع الرئيس الفنلندي ساولي نينيستو ورؤساء وزراء النروج ينس ستولتنبرغ والدنمارك هيلي ثورنينغ شميت وايسلندا سيغموندور ديفيد غونلاوغسون، بدعوة من رئيس الوزراء السويدي.
وصباح الخميس يلتقي اوباما الزوجين الملكيين قبل ان يغادر الى سان بطرسبرغ حيث تعقد قمة مجموعة العشرين. ومن المرتقب ان يعقد في سان بطرسبرغ لقاءين ثنائيين مع نظيريه الفرنسي فرنسوا هولاند والصيني شي جينبينغ.

Keep dreaming just like prince bandar.
www.smh.com.au/business/world-business/saudis-offer-russia-secret-oil-deal-if-it-drops-syria-20130827-2smvt.html

"Saudi Arabia has secretly offered Russia a sweeping deal to control the global oil market and safeguard Russia’s gas contracts, if the Kremlin backs away from the Assad regime in Syria."
Wasn't that already provided by Bandar on his last meeting with Putin? That's pretty much what Russia wants; a monopoly in the Caucasus and Europe in general regarding oil/gas. Al-Assad protected that interest quite strongly; how would Bandar safeguard his vow though? Oh also, keeping terrorism low on Russia's borders.

It seems my assessment is true. Russia is looking for security regarding the Saudi offer.

bandar threatened to using chechen terrorists during the winter olympic games in russia. he probably thought putin would shake in fear.
instead putin gave orders to massively bombard saudi in case of an attack on syria. that was the day the US announced strikes on syria, and that's why they have been backpedaling since.

_mowaten_, that's akin to shooting themselves in the foot; he basically admitted all those Russian lives that were taken by Chechnyan terrorists were under his control? Doesn't seem too bright a man really, Bandar.

Putin is a real man of " Men " !!
He needs no authorisation from anyone !
He has a plan & consequently will stick to it !
He is unenthusiastic about what is occurring in the states !
His mind is made up regardless of the outcome from the US senate committee or the congress !
The plan has been laid out , an agreement has been reached ! But if the US cross it then god bless America & its allies ( KSA , GCC , Israel & Turkey ! )
Limited fire power into the desert & that's it ! It is about saving face of the President of the US !
A warning has been drafted in Red Ink towards the US , as long as they do not cross it !
I'm sure that will be the end result ! But may The Lord of Lords help Israel if they do decide their own Agenda & attack , because there will be now MERCY towards them !
Signed Wolf !!!!!......!!!!!!

Is that how you Jews think Maxx?
If you are a Homo then it does not justify you to think that other people are as such as your self .
You have every right to use your two large cheeks to the Saudis , Turks or the GCC States if you want , that is your business , but don't compare others' to the likes of you ! Yes I praised Putin but it does not mean the way you entertain other males , I should leave that part up to you ...but take my advice be careful , there are serious disease & virus out there such as HIV / Aids . Who knows you might be suffering from one of these & it has affected your mined , go & treat your self , don't worry about political comments as you have posted above about me , i forgive you , your health is more important !
Signed Wolf .....

Russia cannot and will not impose a red line. On the contrary Russia's military is in shambles and certainly not a match for the US fire power.
Basically what Putin is doing is simply barking with no teeth to bite. When the US will attack Syria's Bashar, take my word Putin shall continue to bark and with no concrete military action from his part.

It is clear by now that any strike against Bashar's forces will not be limited to punitive strikes as a result of chemical weapons use, but such strikes carry a broader plan to tip the military balance and provide a military boost to the rebellion and I hope such broader plan includes a strike against HA so as to strengthen Lebanese state institutions and enable the Lebanese state to have the monopoly of arms in the country and eliminate the state within the state currently in existence. One problem though, we need an effective government in place to handle such task so our corrupt and worthless politicians need to reach an agreement for a government.
Here we go again another opportunity to strengthen the Lebanese start and hopefully we won't let it slip out of our hands

hahaha russia has a red line for the stongest army in the world?? are you stupid or are you a kid with no knowledge of the current situations. russia is starving and is buying time before assad gets found in a hole hiding. America will take over and closes all doors for russian deals. syria(assad) is russia's gateway to dealing with iran(wolfs homeland).

I replied to your comment above. If you care to read it pls start with the smaller one as the larger comment is a continuation

russian military is so hurting.. educate yourself before commenting. they have no money to feed there people and you think they can support a war? america has no fear of russia, the only thing is obama is sympathetic to his communist leaders

falanges, are you serious right now or just a hasbara troll? Perhaps you should take your own advice and educated yourself instead of preaching it to others. Here's a good start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Air_Force#Aircraft_and_personnel_numbers_2013
Its planes and rocket systems are reaching for being the best; they've come a long way since 20 years ago. Same goes for everything else.
Do you know how much active and reserve military personnel the US has? Some 2 million. Russia has 2 million in reserves alone and some million on active duty. Not to mention china also has some 3 million. Not about numbers though really; the US military is the strongest indeed, but it's not to say Russia with a little help from here and there can't become a worthy opponent. Your denigration of Russian military assets is uncalled for and wrong also.

flame thrower and southern
you can say what you want blame the Zionists. AIPAC or whatever you want. The point is clear. Bashar is being cornered and it is payback time for all the crimes he committed against his people and against the Lebanese.
rest assured there will be plenty of celebration when he finally is faced with all the various crimes he committed

flamethrower
you have a big problem it is called M14 complex
you have tendency to blame our nation's ills on M14. I am sure M14 contributed as much as M8 or the so called centrists. Unfortunately all our politicians are corrupt and all pilfered the state's coffer when in power.
So please be fair and blame all our politicians not M14 only

flame thrower
You still miss the point
what I am trying to say is simply that all our politicians are corrupt and pilfered the state's coffers while you seem obsessed to blame only M14.
get real dude and face the sad reality that all our politicians are corrupt
