Russia not clinging to G8 if West does not want it – Russian FM
24th March, 2014
Russia is not clinging to the G8 format, as all major world problems can be discussed at other international venues such as G20, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
“The G8 is an informal club, no one gives out membership cards and no one can expel members,” Lavrov told a media conference at the Hague. “If our Western partners believe that this format has exhausted itself, let it be. We are not clinging to it.”

We are nearly a week into the “New Cold War” and we haven’t got as far as kicking the Russians out of the G8. At the same time a remarkably laid back Barak Obama has, uncharacteristically for a US president, taken the military option off the table- did Kennedy do that during the Cuban missile crisis at the height of the Cold War? The West will therefore limit itself to a non-military response. But Western hegemony, the empire, rests entirely on military force as we have seen repeatedly in the last thirty years. To rely on moral authority or diplomatic finesse is to go naked. Legal authority looks equally questionable. The EU has declared the Crimean referendum invalid on the grounds that it runs contrary to the Ukrainian constitution- the same constitution that it trashed by supporting the 22nd February coup in Kiev.

Ce terme désigne, non les c…proprement dits, qui ont toujours été très présents à Paris, sous quelle que forme que ce soit, mais les conservateurs les plus à droite du parti conservateur américain. Au pouvoir depuis des années, ils sont responsables des véritables catastrophes qui ont plongé l’Amérique dans des déficits et des pauvretés en chaine.

Hier, au mépris du droit international et du simple droit commercial, il a menacé la Russie d’une non livraison des deux BPC de type Mistral presque achevés à Saint Nazaire, et déjà payés par les Russes. Il condamne ce faisant toute coopération militaire avec la Russie, renvoyant des milliers de travailleurs français au chômage.

“Bulgarian socialists appear to be supportive of Russia’s intervention in Crimea. Alexander Simov, a journalist from the Socialist daily Duma who was sent to Crimea as an observer, said yesterday he believed that the referendum vote was legitimate.
“I am going to watch the whole process. To see … that it is a legal referendum,” he said. “So I think it is going to be very legal,” Simov said, as quoted by the Voice of America. Simov’s name appears on the list of the BSP candidates for the European elections.”
