Russian Advice on Afghanistan (The New York Times, 12 January 2010)

How long would the Afghan government endure today if it were left alone to face the Taliban? A rapid slide into chaos awaits Afghanistan and its neighbors if NATO pulls out, pretending to have achieved its goals. A pullout would give a tremendous boost to Islamic militants, destabilize the Central Asian republics and set off flows of refugees, including many thousands to Europe and Russia... A “successful end” to the operation in Afghanistan will not come simply with the death of Osama bin Laden. The minimum that we require from NATO is consolidating a stable political regime in the country and preventing Talibanization of the entire region. That is the Russian position. We are ready to help NATO implement its U.N. Security Council mandate in Afghanistan. We are utterly dissatisfied with the mood of capitulation at NATO headquarters, be it under the cover of “humanistic pacifism” or pragmatism read more...

Russia criticizes US, NATO over Afghan drugs

// Security Policy

Moscow is worried about declining public support in Europe for the war. "(Russia) is losing 30,000 lives a year to the Afghan drug trade, and a million people are addicts," Rogozin said. "This is an undeclared war against our country." "We are obviously very dissatisfied with the lack of attention from NATO and the United States to our complaints about this problem." For years, the allies tried to eradicate poppy crops, but that resulted in a boost to the insurgency as impoverished poppy farmers joined the Taliban. Gen. Stanley McChrystal's new policy of trying to win the support of the population means that these farmers are now left alone, enabling them to tend crops that produce 90 percent of the world's heroin   read more...

Dmitry Medvedev: 'We are facing challenges that we should meet together with NATO'

// Public Work

It is not about NATO, and our military doctrine does not treat NATO as the main military threat. It is about the never-ending enlargement of NATO through absorbing the countries that used to be part of the Soviet Union or happen to be our closest neighbours. It definitely creates certain problems, because NATO, whatever one may say, is a military alliance. Everything is quite clear here. We have our own defence strategy and we have Armed Forces tailored to fit a certain configuration. But if a military alliance, which is, by the way, our partner in general, keeps on moving even closer to our borders, if missile defence or something else is being reconfigured, it is a good enough reason for us to be concerned read more...

HEAD OF THE MISSION

With the demise of Communism, reasons for the West and Russia to be in confrontation vanished. Russia entered on the path of European democracy. In many areas, cooperation between Russia and NATO has yielded positive results. This is true in Russia's support for the transit of cargo by the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. We are also gaining momentum in civil emergency planning, and our scientists are successfully collaborating on equipment to fight terrorism...

Missile defence as a common cause for all (Jane's Defence Weekly, London)

Russia needs guarantees that the mobile BMD assets deployed, for example, on the ships sailing the Mediterranean sea would not turn into new problems for us in the future. A battle ship equipped with interceptor missiles and means of remote surveillance is capable of weighing the anchor and sailing up to Russian coastline. In the end, instead of missiles charged in Polish mines we would get the same missiles but already sailing around on the deck of an American battle ship in Polish territorial waters. There is small choice in rotten apples. I would very much like to believe our American colleagues and put out of my head any second thoughts of the true nature of the ballistic missile defence. But as Ronald Reagan would say in such a case: “Trust, but verify”  read more...
