Alternative Solutions For The Mistrals

-



Some solutions such as selling the Mistrals to NATO, the EU or even waiting to seize the Mistrals to pay the fine Russia owes in the Yukos case often appeared in the media these last months. Here are the most advanced propositions or articles about those:

1) European Union: Resolution/Proposal for the E.U to purchase Mistral ships:

"The proposal for the European Union to purchase Mistral ships from France is welcomed in Brussels and is a way out of a particularly complex situation, says Arnoldas Pranckevicius, External Policies Advisor to the President of the European Parliament.
Pranckevicius says that no concrete decision regarding this proposal has been made yet.

The European Parliament is the first institution to raise the proposal and express it in a resolution."

2) N.A.T.O and Canada: One of the Mistrals for NATO, the other one for Canada:

"After transferring ownership of the program to NATO, the first Mistral building for Russia, now completing at the STX Europe shipyards in Saint-Nazaire, France, would enter Alliance service on schedule in 2015, based in Europe and manned by a French-heavy multinational crew representing most member states. The second Russian Mistral — slated for delivery in 2016 — would be operated by the Royal Canadian Navy on a renewable five-year lease, based on the East Coast at Halifax. Under terms of the lease, this LPH would share commitments between NATO and Canadian national taskings."

3) Seize the Mistrals to pay the fine Russia owes in the Yukos case:

"In July, Russia has been condemned to a 50 billion dollars fine by the court in The Hague in the Yukos case. The deadline to pay this fine is the 15th of January 2015. Could the Mistrals be seized to pay the fine if Russia fails to pay in time?"

4) Legal grounds: How the deal could be cancelled using the "Force Majeure" clause:

"That greater force covers external reasons for canceling a delivery, with “war (whether declared or not), armed conflict or the serious threat of same…” leading the factors listed in the ICC note. If France decides against delivery, prime contractor DCNS could evoke force majeure on the grounds the interministerial commission for arms export had refused to grant the export license. After 180 days — generally the suspension period — DCNS could cancel and would have to repay Russia for the ship. The two sides would then go to a tribunal to decide how the payment would be made."

La page Facebook RT France gagne depuis début Décembre 2017 entre 70 000 et 110 000 abonnés par semaine sans raisons particulière. Elle est ainsi passée subitement de 500 000 à 850 000 abonnés en un mois et est en passe de devenir l'une des plus grosses page d'information sur Facebook. La plupart des nouveaux abonnés proviennent d' Afrique et non de France. Détail de l'analyse et mise à plat des donnés disponibles. NOTE: Cet article est une version restaurée de l'article pru sur "NoMistralsForPutin.com", lequel a été piraté et n'est plus accessible. Par rapport à la version initiale, il manque de nombreux graphiques.

Sabordage des Mistral: récits d’une Маскировка Kremlin – Front National à Saint Nazaire

-
Image
En mai 2015, Jean-Claude Blanchard et Gauthier Bouchet, deux élus du Front National de Saint Nazaire, ont étroitement collaboré avec les services de propagande du Kremlin en relayant, voire en inspirant, l’hallucinante mystification du sabordage des Mistral, les grands navires d’invasion initialement construits pour appuyer le néo-impéralisme de Vladimir Poutine. Même si les années ont passé, cette opération de désinformation et de manipulation de l’opinion ainsi que des médias reste un modèle de maskirovka (Маскировка) conduite en dehors de tous principes moraux dans le cadre de la guerre hybride que les siloviki mènent contre des pays qu’ils veulent pousser à la discorde et au chaos. Un évènement aussi insensé aurait été impossible si ses promoteurs n’avaient pas eu une connaissance intime des faiblesses de notre société grâce aux lumières et aux conseils de leurs complices locaux. Cette affaire scandaleuse présente, malgré ses ramifications internationales, l’avantage d’une qua...

No Mistrals for Putin is a non political activist group and none of its actions can be endorsed by any political party

Dear Friends, We were a very small group of French people, based in Nantes, Dublin and Kyiv. We started to alert the world opinion about Mistrals at the end of February 2014. In France, nobody used to care about this deal that was supposed to create jobs and deliver vessels with no military resources. These vessels were supposed to be some kind of ferry boats or floating hospital. We knew they were war ships that could be used for invasion. We knew they were the best tool for Russia in order to keep control of Crimea. We knew they would be a serious threat for many countries of the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. We remember our first messages to Ukrainian people. They could not believe what we were saying: France selling invasion war ships to Putin, Ukraine's invader??? Eventually, we were lucky enough to have some great people following us from the beginning and spread the word. All together we succeeded in step one: alert public opinion and create international movements. All t...
