Summit with a question sign

The “historical”, as the general secretary of NATO, Anders Fog Rasmussen, is convinced, the alliance summit in Lisbon was opened under the roar of Megafonov. “The world - yes!”, “NATO - no!” - Participants of protesters chanted in different areas of the capital, quite in the spirit of that distant time now, when the Portuguese Communist Party was one of the most powerful in Europe, regularly receiving funds for anti -war activities from the bottomless cash desk of the CPSU. But now, not only the Portuguese left are not only funds. The Governor of Madeira, Governor Madeira, called the NATO summit in an open letter to Portugal, called the NATO summit in an open letter to Portugal, in the pre -ended state. The crisis walked Mamai on the budget of the alliance countries just when he urgently needs to solve the problem of Afghanistan, otherwise Iran will decide by its direct injections into the pockets of Afghan officials. It was Afghanistan, and not the search projects of the anti -missile defense of the continent (with or without Russia), which so far no one has money, was the main theme of the Lisbon summit. It seemed that Russia finally realized: NATO defeat in Afghanistan is fraught with destabilization of the situation in Central Asia, which means not in the interests of Moscow. That's why the Kremlin agreed to discuss the issue of free supplies of weapons and military equipment to the NATO. Further plans to create a general pro in Europe ... on the fertile ground of general efforts in Afghanistan in Afghanistan ...

But on November 18 it became known: Medvedev decided to reduce his stay in Lisbon as much as possible, he will stay here only half a day on Saturday. And in the morning of the 19th, rumors crawled: the final document was not yet agreed-the parties did not come to an agreement regarding the sources of the general threat ... On the same day, Fleur of doubts allowed Dmitry Rogozin, abstained from the unambiguous answer to the question about the most probable results of the summit.

At the time of signing this number in Lisbon, it was not yet clear what form Russia and NATO will put on their fragile agreements on Afghanistan and about: whether it would be an oral statement by Rasmussen, which is equivalent to the failure of negotiations, or the parties would nevertheless sign a joint declaration. However, everything will endure the paper and the microphone. Worse, if the pendulum of real Russian foreign policy again swayed towards the “stormy and long” fluctuations - with whom to be friends and “against whom”. November 19, 2010
