US to sidestep Russia veto on Kosovo

THE US is pressing for a quick UN vote on Kosovo but is ready to take on Russia's threat of a veto and move to unilaterally recognise the Serbian province's right to independence.

E Verteta4_U

Why this geopolitical "tug of war" over Kosovo between Russia and the US?

As reported by Anup Shah in the website "globalissues.org" on 21 January 2001:

""The determination by the U.S and NATO, at all costs, to occupy Kosovo and virtually all of Yugoslavia, is spurred on by the enticement of abundant natural resources. Kosovo alone has the richest mineral resources in all of Europe west of Russia. The New York Times observed that "the sprawling state-owned Trepca mining complex, the most valuable piece of real estate in the Balkans, is worth at least $5 billion." producing gold, silver, pure lead, zinc, cadmium, as well as tens of millions of dollars in profits annually. "Kosovo also possesses 17 billion tons of coal reserves and Kosovo (like Serbia and Albania) also has oil reserves."

All Bush's talk about Kosovo 'independence' is simply about who controls - and profits - from these resources.

Kuwait says US cannot use bases for any Iran strike Kuwait

Kuwait, a staunch US ally, said on Monday it would not allow the United States to use its territory as a launch-pad for any attack on Iran over its nuclear programme.

Kuwait served as the launch-pad for the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and remains the main staging point for US-led troops in the country. Around 15,000 US troops are stationed at several bases in the emirate.

Translation: it is very clear to the Kuwaiti government that there will be a US-led strike against Iran which is coming soon, and they don't want any part of it.
