This is the IDIOT'S GUIDE FOR AN ENERGY PLAN? What difference does it make if you are dependent on OPEC for oil and Columbia for Electricity?
What if the RD imported technology of Nuclear Engineers for 4 state-of-art power plants @ remote locales or an isolated offshore island?
What if the RD Gov like Brazil created a diverse energy policy producing its own energy cheaper to be more globally COMPETITIVE?
This new energy creates installation JOBS for a UNDERGROUND transmission & distributions lines w/high security voltage substations providing power & fiber optic communications in ALL RD AREAS (no copper wire thefts).
This would power a NATIONAL RAIL SYSTEM connecting major ports from POP to STI, LaVega, Bonao to SDQ, LRM and PUJ to move both people & EXPORT/IMPORT goods FASTER!
Secondarily, an inner city cable cars like San Fran, CA eliminating OLD HIGH COSTS gas guzzling bus monopolies polluting the air more while being more globally competitive to attract more jobs!.

Some Americans listening today may wonder why events taking place in a small country halfway around the world matter to the United States. In the years since it’s gained independence after the Soviet Union’s collapse, Georgia has become a courageous democracy. Its people are making the tough choices that are required of free societies. Since the Rose Revolution in 2003, the Georgian people have held free elections, opened up their economy, and built the foundations of a successful democracy.
Georgia has sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq to help others achieve the liberty that they struggled so hard to attain. To further strengthen their democracy, Georgia has sought to join the free institutions of the West. The people of Georgia have cast their lot with the free world, and we will not cast them aside.

And now, for the first time in memory, Europe is becoming a continent that is whole, free, and at peace. ... George W Bush early this morning

The US sent over 6000 fighter planes, 1000's of Tanks and 100's of Millions of $$$$ in AID to the Soviets during WW2.
The US and British Strategic Bombing Campaign crippled the Germans Industrial Complex. Do you think the Soviets would have lasted if German industry could have pumped out 10,000 Tiger Tanks instead of 1000? 1000's of Messershcmidt 263's instead of a few hundred? Arado's, Panther's?
Remember the Germans were trying to develop an Atomic Bomb as well. They were years behind the US but the Soviets had no clue. They only built their's in 49 after they recieved the info from spies.
Also remember the US was fighting 2 wars. Remember Japan? The Russians didn't jump in until a week before it was over.
Yes i know more Soviet Soldiers died. That is because Soviet Military leaders sent them to their deaths in wave attacks. Soviet Military Strategy is studied at many acadamies on how not to fight a war.

Yes, but you can't ignore the fact that, even with all their defficiencies, the soviet military not only took the full brunt of the german's military might, but they'd also almost outrun the british and the americans on the race to conquer Berlin (and this despite the fact that these people had it easy, if we were to compare the odds they faced with the ones that the Soviets, badly supplied and armed, had to overcome).

ladronaso, americans have no idea of what hostilities are, because they always take place in someone elses yard. i was in new york, quite near to battery park, the morning the towers got hit. you had to have been there to understand the panic level. one cannot diminish the extent of the damage, but it pales in comparison to what would happen if the city got hit by a five megaton bomb. so folks, bravado and braggadoccio are anachronistic artifacts of civilisation. the ONLY way to save the planet is by negotiation and compromise. nobody can be bullied , like Bush and Cheney believe. they believe that they can bring some bluster and tough guy talk and everyone will cower under the bed, because America says so. NOT!!!

The crisis over Russia's display of military might in Georgia has alarmed ex-Soviet satellites states in a broad arc from the Baltics to Central Asia. Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, all of which harbour bitter memories of Soviet occupation, have expressed solidarity with the Georgian position.
Yesterday President George W. Bush hailed what he saw as progress in resolving the Georgia crisis, describing the ceasefire agreement as "a hopeful step."
He reiterated, though, that the disputed regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia remained part of Georgia, despite Moscow's insistence that they should now be allowed to become part of Russia. "There's no room for debate on this matter," said Mr Bush. "The international community is clear that South Ossetia and Abkhazia are part of Georgia and the US fully recognises this reality."
From: Spain, Sanlucar de Barrameda..Coto Doñana
Meanwhile, disturbing reports of abuse of ethnic Georgians in captured parts of the disputed region emerged. A group of captive soldiers were paraded in the streets of the South Ossetian capital, Tskinvali, and the bodies of at least 40 dead troops rotted in the sun.
Teams of ethnic Georgians, some under armed guard, were forced to clean the streets. It was the first apparent evidence of humiliation or abuse of Georgians in the Russian-controlled breakaway republic......ladrone you chicken oh the bomb blasts scared you povrecito you chicken go back to the DR you dont deserve to live in the USA you chicken

Yes, but you can't ignore the fact that, even with all their defficiencies, the soviet military not only took the full brunt of the german's military might, but they'd also almost outrun the british and the americans on the race to conquer Berlin
They took the full brunt because they had the worst Military Leadership on the planet. After Stalin purged the Military in the 30's the basic Soviet game plan was full frontal assault.
They arrived in Berlin only because FDR gave it to them. Learn your history.
From: United States
yes, anthonyc. only difference is that Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo did not have 100 megaton bombs, and the systems to deliver them. if you believe that america scares Russia, you need to take another bottle of meds, or stay away from the bong! are you really insane enough to believe that Putin is cowering in a bunker because Condi Rice and Little George sounded off? actually, the only guys crapping their pants are the euros, who know that Russia is not to be toyed with!!

The Russians have feared the USA since the time of Lenin. IF Putin isn't afraid then why isn't he annexing Georgia right now instead of retreating?
He was blindsided. He thought he got away with it in Georgia and the next thing he knows the US is building a Missile defense shield in Russia's former client state of Poland.
Yep. Putin pulled a bonehead move.

you might want to ask the Europeans, who stand the greatest chance of being atomised by some Russian nukes, who the boneheads are. you are still living in the 50s, my friend. let me reiterate this, until it sinks in: Lenin did not have 100 megaton bombs!!!!!! are you beginning to get the point, or are you impervious to logic?

Deep down inside he relishes a return to the old politics of the cold war in hopes that it will give rebirth to a U.S. Cuba Invasion or occupation. Anyone who deviates from his warped and antiquated views is a communist or socialist. Goes to show you the extent of his reasoning and ability to partake in constructive intelligent discourse.

What if the RD imported technology of Nuclear Engineers for 4 state-of-art power plants @ remote locales or an isolated offshore island?
What if the RD Gov like Brazil created a diverse energy policy producing its own energy cheaper to be more globally COMPETITIVE?
This new energy creates installation JOBS for a UNDERGROUND transmission & distributions lines w/high security voltage substations providing power & fiber optic communications in ALL RD AREAS (no copper wire thefts).
This would power a NATIONAL RAIL SYSTEM connecting major ports from POP to STI, LaVega, Bonao to SDQ, LRM and PUJ to move both people & EXPORT/IMPORT goods FASTER!
Secondarily, an inner city cable cars like San Fran, CA eliminating OLD HIGH COSTS gas guzzling bus monopolies polluting the air more while being more globally competitive to attract more jobs!.

Just bad DT translation .. the power will be generated by hydro-power plants in Venezuela .. then transmitted by the submarine pipeline .. and if there are problems with the cables somewhere on the sea bed .. we just send Hugo down in a scuba suit and let him fix it. No problem."

Conspired to Assassinate a former US President.

Now as for the Russians. When was the last time they won a war? Afghanistan? WW2? WW1? Russo-Sino war?
The Russians are a paper tiger. Even today there are reports of some Russian troops mutinying due to not having been fed in 3 days.
Don't say WW2! The US and brtis Supplied them. Bombed their enemies and took the brunt of the fighting
Get real. While the Russians were flexing there muscle buy attack the boy scout troop called the Georgian Military the US was busy making arrangements with Poland to istall a missle shield.
Who do you think is more worried? the US because the russians invaded a country that most people couldn't find on the map?
or
Russia with the thought that Poland not only will have a strong Military but they will be backed up with US troops?
Putin though he was clever.
Hey Vlad.......SURPRISE!!!!
Georgia has sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq to help others achieve the liberty that they struggled so hard to attain. To further strengthen their democracy, Georgia has sought to join the free institutions of the West. The people of Georgia have cast their lot with the free world, and we will not cast them aside.
George W Bush early this morning
Georgia’s emergence as a young democracy has been part of an inspiring and hopeful new chapter in Europe’s history. Europe has moved beyond the world wars that killed millions of people, and the Cold War that divided its citizens between two superpowers. Every administration since the end of the Cold War has worked with European partners to extend the reach of liberty and prosperity. And now, for the first time in memory, Europe is becoming a continent that is whole, free, and at peace. ... George W Bush early this morning
That's the dumbest statement that I have read in a long time. How do you think Eastern Europe came to be under the Soviet banner, anthonyC? Do you think that the americans and the british helped them conquer all those countries? Please, meditate more your posts before sending them. As things stands, it was the other way around. If the Soviets wouldn't have taken on the brunt of the Nazi's military machine, the US and the brits would have had a very, very nasty time trying to fight the unrelenting military might of the Werhmacht.
Go check your history.
The US sent over 6000 fighter planes, 1000's of Tanks and 100's of Millions of $$$$ in AID to the Soviets during WW2.
The US and British Strategic Bombing Campaign crippled the Germans Industrial Complex. Do you think the Soviets would have lasted if German industry could have pumped out 10,000 Tiger Tanks instead of 1000? 1000's of Messershcmidt 263's instead of a few hundred? Arado's, Panther's?
Remember the Germans were trying to develop an Atomic Bomb as well. They were years behind the US but the Soviets had no clue. They only built their's in 49 after they recieved the info from spies.
Also remember the US was fighting 2 wars. Remember Japan? The Russians didn't jump in until a week before it was over.
Yes i know more Soviet Soldiers died. That is because Soviet Military leaders sent them to their deaths in wave attacks. Soviet Military Strategy is studied at many acadamies on how not to fight a war.
If you not already done so, please send DT an email regarding the numerous and recent grammar, spelling and translations errors. As users it can expected for us to make these mistakes, but for ambassadors of valuable Dominican journlism this is not acceptable. We should be striving for better and so should they.

I mentioned that to the editor personally once. Obviously it had no effect.
Maybe he doesn't care as long as his ad dollars come in.
EXACTLY .. and that too is a major form of CORRUPTION in the US that we do not like to talk about .. General Colin Powell warned Bush-Cheney about it .. they IGNORED their own SECRETARY of STATE .. they IGNORED the CIA which could not VERIFY the NIGER URANIUM rumor being circulated by MI6 .. central to the entire issue was REVENGE .
Lets not forget that this story was given to the Italian Government and consequently passed to Italian Media and both decline to follow up or give any credence to the intelligence report.
......That would be TOO RISKY. It would mean going up AGAINST a REAL FOE. One that could.. UNLIKE SADDAM .. EFFECTIVELY STRIKE BACK against the US. So GEORGIA is STILL OCCUPIED by RUSSIAN TROOP.
And yes the U.S. would easily go into some less threatening country where they could win easily than to really go ahead against someone who will give them a good swift kick in the ass.
Proves they are good at picking their battles.
If you still think there was justification for going into Iraq then either you're delusional or an idiot. Which one is it?
Cibaeño, They are Both, delusional and idiots. Its part of the "Bush" cult. You could put a gun their heads and they will never accept the fact they were wrong. They are ideologues hypocrites, living in denial. Just need to look at the Commander In Chief they are defending
We need to start squeaking. I have done some squeaking and will continue to do so.
Their equipment and training is not on par with the west. They are just willing to lose thousands just to make a statement and if public opinion is against them they just censor what the public has to base the opinion on.
But what exactly does this have to do with an under sea cable?
what the heck does it matter if the bomb is intended for Cleveland and lands in Pittsburgh?
Not to mention the huge stock piles of munitions they posses throughout the vast territory(ies) of Russia. In addition I would not underestimate Russia. This demonstrates pure U.S. superpower mentality, U.S. innate ability to underestimate the power and cleverness of their adversaries. Lets not forget Putin was head of the KGB who has a wealth of knowledge and resources. Wouldn't doubt he has several aces stashed.
In Korea
Vietnam
Iraq
and perhaps Afghanistan
Contrary to your minuscule feeble mentality, I served in the Military I served during "The Cold War" and during my tenure handled and received substantial briefings and intel on Russia's capabilities, conventional and unconventional warfare tactics. No I'm not an expert but I don't underestimate my enemy. I know what to expect from Russia, just as I know that Russia has and will not hesitate to take any action necessary to accomplish it's goal.
Unlike you I am a pragmatist and realist not a foolish Ideologue living in denial, like the ones that got us into the Iraq war.
Americans live in a perfect nested world. They have no real concept of what a real unconventional or conventional nuclear/chemical war would look like. Heck they have no real idea of anything past their backyard.
