EURASIAN Economic UNION is OPEN For NEW 

partners - PUTIN

The Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union has huge potential to expand and is open to cooperation with partners in the East and West, President Vladimir Putin said at the EEU summit in Moscow.

“The increase in the number of members is beneficial to the union itself. It boosts its market capacity and contributes to the strengthening of trade and economic ties, and to the launching of new investment projects,” Putin said at this week’s session of the EEU’s Supreme Council.

The Eurasian Economic Union is an economic and political bloc formed in 2014 uniting Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia. The treaty to form it will go into full effect on January 1, 2015. The population of the union is about 171 million people and its gross domestic product is expected to reach $3 trillion next year.

The leaders of the EEU countries who attended the Supreme Council session also took part in a session of the Collective Security Council – the top body of the military Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO).

At this event the Russian President called for allies to jointly develop a response to various threats emerging in the modern rapidly changing world. “Unfortunately, the global security system is currently askew. This demands a coordinated and joint response that would defend all of our countries and the region as a whole from terrorism, drug trafficking, cross-border crime, and also prevent natural and man-made disasters,” Putin said.

After both summits Vladimir Putin invited the other leaders to visit Russia’s newest defense facility – the major complex meant to monitor threats to national security in peacetime, but capable of taking control of the entire country in case of war. The presidents of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan arrived to the defense center together. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu also took part in the visit.

Putin told his guests that all CSTO members would be given access to the National Defense Center and this would greatly contribute to the manageability and rapid response of their national military forces. “Everything here is made with Russian technology, with very powerful computer software that is currently unmatched in the world,” the Russian President said.

READ MORE: Russia to probe media reports that Ukraine military shot down MH17

The interview was conducted on Tuesday, spokesman for the committee Vladimir Markin told the media on Wednesday.

This followed a report in a Russian newspaper, in which the Ukrainian citizen, who preferred to remain anonymous, voiced his allegations.

The investigators used a polygraph during the interview, which showed no evidence of the witness lying, he added.

“The facts were reported by the witness clearly and with no inconsistencies. The investigators lean towards considering them truthful. A polygraph examination confirmed them too,” the official said.

"Menurut akaun, beliau secara peribadi melihat pesawat yg dipandu oleh [juruter-bang tentera Ukraine] Voloshin bersenjatakan peluru berpandu R-60 udara-ke-udara," kata Markin. "Beliau berkata tidak ada keperluan untuk senjata itu dlm misi udara tetap Angkatan Udara Ukraine kerana pasukan pemberontak tdk mem-punyai pesawat tentera."

Markin berkata bahwa Jawatankuasa Siasatan akan terus mengumpul & mengana-lisis bukti ‘perpetrating’ kepada menenggak daripada MH17 dan akan berkongsi maklumat dengan siasatan antarabangsa Belanda yg dipimpin ke dalam kejadian itu, "jika mereka benar2 berminat utk menubuhkan kebenaran & hantar siasatan."

Saksi itu mungkin akan diambil ke dalam jagaan perlindungan di Rusia kerana nyawanya mungkin terancam, kata Markin.

Kementerian Pertahanan Rusia yang membuat data radar awam yang menunjukkan bahawa jet tentera Ukraine mampu mengambil turun pesawat itu dengan peluru berpandu udara-ke-udara adalah di sekitar MH17 pada masa kejadian itu.

Laporan awal penyiasatan antarabangsa berkata MH17 telah dijatuhkan oleh daya luar, tetapi tidak akan mengulas lanjut mengenai sifat kekerasan itu, meninggalkan pihak yang terlibat bebas untuk berdagang tuduhan.

“According to his account, he personally saw the plane piloted by [Ukrainian military pilot] Voloshin armed with R-60 air-to-air missiles,” Markin said. “He added there was no need for such weapons during regular air missions of the Ukrainian Air Forces because the rebel forces had no military aircraft.”

Markin said that the Investigative Committee will continue gathering and analyzing evidence perpetrating to the downing of MH17 and will share the information with the Netherlands-led international probe into the incident, “if they really interested in establishing the truth and send an inquiry.”

The witness is likely to be taken into protective custody in Russia because his life may be threatened, Markin said.

The Russian Defense Ministry made public radar data indicating that a Ukrainian military jet capable of taking down the airliner with an air-to-air missile was in the vicinity of MH17 at the time of the incident.

The international investigation’s preliminary report said MH17 was downed by an external force, but would not elaborate on the nature of that force, leaving the parties involved free to trade accusations.

RUSIA Untuk Membuktikan LAPORAN Media BAHWA 

MH370 telah 'DITEMBAK Jatuh oleh TENTERA Amerika

PSAKI Salahcakap: OBAMA Belum LAGI Menandatangani Rang UNDANG-undang BARU Anti-RUSIA . . .

iLMu2lautan – Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama belum lagi menanda-tangani rang undang-undang penjelasan cara utk lebih sekatan ekonomi terhadap Rusia. Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat mengesahkan Jen Psaki ‘misspoke’ semasa taklimat media.

Rang undang2 itu dijangka ditandatangani "pd akhir minggu ini," menurut kenya-taan Setiausaha Akhbar di White House Josh Earnest Selasa. Juru-cakap Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat Jen Psaki mendakwa pd hari Rabu bahwa rang undang-undang itu telah ditandatangani.

"Beliau menandatanganinya semalam," Psaki dinyatakan semasa taklimat itu, mengganggu Gayane Chichakyan RT ini yang bertanya soalan mengenai rang undang-undang digelar Ukraine Kebebasan Akta Sokongan 2014.

Walau bagaimanapun, menurut kepada wakil-wakil Rumah Putih "Presiden masih belum menandatangani undang-undang ini."

"Jen [Psaki] sebenarnya ‘misspoke’ semasa taklimat hari ini, jadi kami akan membetulkan ini dengan nota kaki pada transkrip dalam laman web dalam beberapa minit," jabatan ini officialconfirmed untuk Sputnik News Agency.

PSAKI Misspoke: OBAMA Not YET Signed NEW 

Anti-Russian BILL . . .

US President Barack Obama has not yet signed a bill clearing the way for more economic sanctions against Russia. The US State Department confirmed Jen Psaki misspoke during the press briefing.

The bill was expected to be signed “by the end of the week,”according to White House press secretary Josh Earnest’s statement in Tuesday. US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki claimed on Wednesday that the bill was already signed.

“He signed it yesterday,” Psaki stated during the briefing, interrupting RT’s Gayane Chichakyan who was asking a question about the bill dubbed Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014.

However, according to representatives of the White House “the President has not yet signed this legislation.”

"Jen [Psaki] actually misspoke during today’s briefing, so we will be correcting this with a footnote on the transcript found on the website in a few minutes," the department's official confirmed to Sputnik News Agency.

Rang undang-undang itu akan menyaksikan kira-kira $ 350 juta pada bantuan yang diberikan kepada Ukraine.

Selain bantuan tentera dan bukan tentera ke Ukraine, rang undang2 tambahan membolehkan pengenaan lagi sekatan bersyarat pada sektor pertahanan Rusia, seperti hukuman ke atas milik negara senjata Rosoboronexport peniaga dan orang perseorangan yang berkaitan.

Rang undang2 jg membayangkan $20 juta dana tahunan bagi menyokong "demo-krasi Rusia & masyarakat sivil organisasi" termasuk melalui peningkatan "Amerika Syarikat aktiviti penyiaran kerajaan disokong." 

Satu lagi keutamaan berkembang penyiaran di negara2 bekas Kesatuan Soviet, yang akan kos lain $ 10 juta setahun.

Walaupun rang undang-undang itu tidak membuat sekatan wajib sepenuhnya, ia membolehkan Obama untuk memutuskan bahagian mana rang undang-undang untuk menguatkuasakan.

'Pendekatan ketinggalan zaman'

Berita itu datang hari yang sama Presiden Obama membuat pengumuman yang bersejarah mengenai "perubahan dasar" ke arah Havana dan Amerika Syarikat merancang untuk mengangkat jualan dan eksport embargo dan mewujudkan hubungan diplomatik dengan Cuba.

BACA lebih lanjut: Obama mengumumkan Amerika Syarikat akan menubuhkan kedutaan di Cuba, sekatan lif READ MORE: Obama announces US will establish embassy in Cuba, lift sanctions

Dekad "pendekatan ketinggalan zaman" membawa sebarang perubahan rejim di Cuba yang "masih ditadbir oleh Castros dan parti Komunis," Presiden Amerika Syarikat mengumumkan.

"Tiada negara lain menyertai kami dalam sekatan ini. Dan ia mempunyai kesan yang kecil, "kata Obama. "Kami akan berakhir pendekatan ketinggalan zaman yang selama beberapa dekad telah gagal untuk memajukan kepentingan kami."

Bagi Rusia, ahli politik Amerika Syarikat termasuk Obama juga telah mengakui bahawa sekatan yang dikenakan setakat ini tidak adalah seperti yang berkesan seperti g diharapkan. 

Walau bagaimanapun, "setiap negara adalah sangat berbeza," Psaki berkata, nam-paknya membayangkan bahwa desakan utk "pengasingan" Rusia mungkin masih entah bagaimana mempengaruhi polisi dan proses dalam negara.

OP-EDGE: matlamat Sekatan 'adalah perubahan rejim, tidak kira Cuba atau Rusia OP-EDGE: Sanctions’ goal is regime change, no matter Cuba or Russia

Sementara itu, Kementerian Luar Rusia berharap bahawa Washington mungkin akhirnya menyedari ketidakberkesanan tekanan sekatan di negara-negara lain, kerana ia akhirnya lakukan dalam hal Cuba.

"Ia menunjukkan bahawa Presiden Amerika Syarikat yg telah mengiktirafkan yg sia-sia tahun mencuba untuk 'mengasingkan' Cuba," kata Kementerian Luar Rusia. "Kami tidak boleh tetapi berharap bahawa Washington akan cepat menyedari yang sia-sia sekatan tekanan yang sama terhadap negara lain."

The bill will see some $350 million in assistance provided to Ukraine.

Besides the military and non-military assistance to Ukraine, the bill additionally allows further imposition of conditional sanctions on the Russian defense sector, such as penalties on state-owned arms dealer Rosoboronexport as well as connected individuals.

The bill also envisions $20 million in annual funding in order to support “Russian democracy and civil society organizations” including through increasing “US government-supported broadcasting activities.”Another priority is expanded broadcasting in countries of the former Soviet Union, which will cost another $10 million per year.

Although the bill does not make sanctions fully obligatory, it allows Obama to decide which parts of the bill to enforce.

‘Outdated approach’

The news comes the very same day President Obama made a historic announcement about a “policy change” towards Havana and US plans to lift the sales and exports embargo and establish diplomatic relations with Cuba.

READ MORE: Obama announces US will establish embassy in Cuba, lift sanctions

The decades of “outdated approach” brought no regime change in Cuba which is “still governed by the Castros and the Communist party,” the US president announced.

“No other nation joins us in these sanctions. And it has had little effect,” Obama said. “We will end an outdated approach that for decades has failed to advance our interest.”

In the case of Russia, US politicians including Obama have also admitted that restrictions imposed so far were not as effective as expected. However, “every country is hugely different,” Psaki said, apparently implying that the push for “isolation” of Russia may still somehow influence policies and processes within the country.

OP-EDGE: Sanctions’ goal is regime change, no matter Cuba or Russia

The Russian Foreign Ministry meanwhile expressed hope that Washington might finally realize the ineffectiveness of sanction pressure on other countries, as it eventually did in the case of Cuba.

“It is indicative that the US president has recognized the futility of years of trying to ‘isolate’ Cuba," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. "We cannot but hope that Washington will be quick to realize the futility of similar sanctions pressure on other countries.”

TIADA Penumpang, TIADA Kapal TERBANG: Lapangan TERBANG 'Hantu' di EROPAH . . .

V^TwentyONE – Eropah telah dicat baru landasan, Di seluruh lapangan terbang yang dilanda krisis 'hantu' pintu baru berkilat dan semua kacang dan bolt di tempatnya - tetapi tiada penumpang dan tiada kapal terbang, memberikan mereka aura2 yang ngeri.

Kos yang melambung tinggi telah melambatkan upacara memotong reben, seperti kemelesetan paling teruk di Eropah dalam tempoh 100 tahun telah membunuh projek2.

Suruhanjaya Eropah ketepikan berjuta-juta euro dlm pembiayaan utk meningkat-kan infrastruktur di lapangan terbang serantau, tetapi mereka sedang menunggu untuk pelancong dan pesawat yang tidak pernah datang, dan telah menjadi simbol perbelanjaan melulu.

"Kesukaran anda mempunyai degn Kesatuan Eropah yang akhirnya ia mempunyai semua wang ini yang ianya mahu untuk melepaskan dalam naungan melalui geran dan segala macam gaji buta yang berbeza, di seluruh negeri yang 28 negara, dan ia mahu untuk mencuba dan membuat kesan ekonomi, "Patrick Young, seorang pakar kewangan, memberitahu RT.

Orang-orang di Brussels "percaya wang tumbuh di atas pokok, iaitu masalah asas yang menolak EU ke arah titik yang pecah," kata Young.

NO Passengers, NO Planes: ‘GHOSTt’ Airports Of EUROPE . . .

Across crisis-stricken Europe ‘ghost’ airports have freshly painted tarmac, shiny new doors and all the nuts and bolts in place - but no passengers and no airplanes, giving them an eerie aura.

Soaring costs have delayed the ribbon cutting ceremonies, as Europe’s worst recession in 100 years has killed the projects.

The European Commission dispensed millions of euro in funding to boost the infrastructure at regional airports, but they are waiting for travelers and planes that never came, and have become symbols of reckless spending.

“The difficulty you have with the European Union is that ultimately it has all this money that it wants to divest in patronage through grants and all sorts of different sinecures, throughout the land of the 28 nations, and it wants to try and make an economic impact,” Patrick Young, a financial expert, told RT.

People in Brussels “believe money grows on trees, that is the fundamental problem that is pushing the EU towards breaking point,” Young said.

Poland yang menyertai Kesatuan Eropah pada tahun 2004, dan telah dipuji oleh Suruhanjaya bagi pembaharuan ekonomi & tanggungjawab kewangan, menerima lebih $125 juta (€ 100 juta) utk membantu membina & menaik taraf 12 lapangan terbang.

Lublin dan Rzeszow adalah di bahagian hutan dan berbukit timur negara itu dan belum dibuka. Lapangan Terbang di Lodz telah diberi wajah baru, tetapi telah gagal untuk menarik penumpang kerana ianya terletak hanya dalam jarak 50 minit pemanduan dari Warsaw, lapangan terbang terbesar di negara ini Lodz dibuka pada tahun 2012.

Poland menerima €615.7 juta dari EU untuk menyokong kewangan lubang hitam di antara 2007 dan 2013, menurut angka yang diberikan oleh Suruhanjaya Eropah untuk Reuters.

Poland, which joined the EU in 2004, and has been lauded by the Commission for its economic reforms and financial responsibility, received over $125 million (€100 million) to help build and upgrade 12 airports.

Lublin and Rzeszow are in the forested and hilly east part of the country and haven’t yet opened. Lodz airport was given a facelift, but has failed to attract passengers as it’s located just a 50 minute drive away from Warsaw, the country’s largest airport Lodz opened in 2012.

Poland received €615.7 million from the EU to support these financial black holes between 2007 and 2013, according to figures provided by the European Commission to Reuters.

Lapangan terbang gagal menarik syarikat penerbangan tambang murah untuk mengendalikan penerbangan di antara bandar-bandar kecil dan hab yang lebih besar.

"Hubungan antara lapangan terbang tempatan dan syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah adalah membunuh diri," Jacek Krawczyk, bekas pengerusi Poland LOT syarikat penerbangan kebangsaan kepada Reuters.

Poland bukannya satu-satunya negara di Eropah untuk menghabiskan nasib pada gajah putih.

The airports failed to attract budget airlines to operate flights in between the small cities and bigger hubs.

“The relationship between the local airports and low-cost carriers is suicidal,” Jacek Krawczyk, former chairman of Polish national airline LOT told Reuters.

Poland is not the only country in Europe to spend fortunes on white elephants.

Di sebelah selatan, Sepanyol menerima elaun yang ke-2 terbesar dari SPR untuk membina lapangan terbang, yg juga gagal utk menarik penerbangan komersial. Keadaan ini begitu buruk bahawa salah satu daripadanya, lapangan terbang Ciudad Real di tengah Sepanyol, adalah untuk dijual di 10 % peratus harga kos untuk membina. 

Lapangan terbang itu dibuka pada tahun 2008 dan kos €1.1 billion untuk membina, dan ditutup pada tahun 2012, dan ia kini mempunyai tag harga sebanyak € 100 juta. Tiada penerbangan komersial telah beroperasi sejak 2011.

Di pantai timur, Castellon-Costa lapangan terbang €150 juta dalam Valencia dibina pada tahun 2011 tidak pernah menyaksikan pesawat tunggal mndarat. Landasan yg tidak cukup panjang utk mendapatkan lesen yg diperlukan utk menguruskan penerbangan komersial. Pengendali lapangan terbang itu menjangkakan ia akan menjadi 50,000 penumpang pada tahun 2015, dan 200,000 pada 2017.

Sekitar 80 lapangan terbang di Eropah menarik kurang daripada 1 juta penum-pang setahun dan kira-kira 3 suku daripada yg di dalamnya lampu merah, menurut badan industri Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa.

To the south, Spain received the second biggest allowance from the EC to build airports, which are also failing to attract commercial flights. The situation is so dire that one of them, Ciudad Real airport in central Spain, is up for sale at 10 percent the price it cost to build. The airport opened in 2008 and cost €1.1 billion to construct, and closed in 2012, and it now has a price tag of €100 million. No commercial flights have operated since 2011.

On the eastern coast, the €150 million Castellon-Costa airport in Valencia built in 2011 has never seen a single plane land. The runway isn’t long enough to get the license needed to run commercial flights. The airport’s operator anticipates it will serve 50,000 passengers in 2015, and 200,000 by 2017.

Around 80 airports in Europe attract fewer than 1 million passengers a year and about three-quarters of those are in the red, according to industry body Airports Council International.

Jerman mempunyai masalah perbelanjaan dan juga ketika datang ke lapangan terbang. Brandenburg lapangan terbang di Berlin mungkin perlu satu lagi €3.2 billion utk akhirnya membuka pintunya di atas €5.4 billion yg sudah dibelanjakan.

Berliners telah menunggu untuk kemudahan baru mereka untuk membuka sejak 2011, tetapi mungkin perlu menunggu sehingga 2016 atau 2017. Ia terletak di selatan Berlin di sebelah Lapangan Terbang Schonefeld yang kini beroperasi.

Germany has spending problems as well when it comes to airports. Berlin’s Brandenburg airport will likely need another €3.2 billion to finally open its doors on top of the €5.4 billion already spent.

Berliners have been waiting for their new facility to open since 2011, but will likely have to wait until 2016 or 2017. It is located south of Berlin next to Schonefeld Airport which is currently operating.
