EU suspends talks with Russia   SEPT-1 (PDF file)
Gordon Brown asked the EU European Union to freeze  negotiations with Russia for a new contract EU/Russia. The talks should start Sept-15 including energy security. The EU decided to negotiate the partnership agreement with Russia only after Withdrawal of the Russian troops from Georgian heartland.
France's president, Nicolas Sarkozy, the EU's current president has convened the first EU emergency summit since February 2003, for Sept 1st. France now worried that tough actions undermine Europe's Peacemaker position, G8 membership of Russia could be frozen. The british position is more radical, admits the energy dependance of Europe from Russia.It depends on Russia for a third of its oil and 40% of its gas. Brown said this addiction had to be broken. "Without urgent action we risk sleepwalking into an energy dependence" source in part: Guardian

Minsk/Brest-Litovsk Belarus Moscow "Fire cracker wall"
Russian president Medvedev and Alexander Lukaschenko Belarus will sign in automn a missile defence system installed at the polish boarder, probably Brest-Litovsk to complete the new "Fire cracker wall" in central Europe initiated by signature of Condi Rice with excellent knowledge, "how to blow up Central europe". The european Union must start to defend it's boarders, by downgrading vulnerable members like Poland, to trigger world war II situations with the "CIA bridge club". Europeans will live in peace after 54 million victims during world war II. So all others ( both sides)  put your Fire crackers in your home country, make war at home; here is no place. The "fire cracker wall" will be a permanent threat to all European capital cities, victims of double nervous US/RUSSIA pulling the trigger for their interests, no protection at all, chaos,,,,,

Troops, UN, Elysee peace plan
Russian president Medvedev informed EU-French president Sarkozy by phone, that russian troops will retreat untill friday. A contingent of 500 soldiers will stay to secure the peace plan. Russia rejected the UN resolution as propaganda. Elysee told, Sarkozy and Medvedev agree peace plan must be executed.
NATO wild discussions, wrong signals:
Nato's decision yesterday to create a special consultative council for Georgia, and to suspend the one it has with Russia is a diplomatic trick. On the longterm the exclusion of the main player russia in it's home territory is nonsense. Security arrangments have to be decided collecticve in a region where millions of ethnic russians live. The old-fashioned power talk of Condi-Rice, the US being bounded to Irak, has the ability to spread the conflict, but NATO's ability to solve the conflict in the Caucasus is low. As german chancellor Angela Merkel told, NATO can not act out of itself in this conflict. French diplomacy focussing on flexible response has to pave the way for a balanced agreement for Europe-Russia "SUTHBEACH" area. US may be more engaged to restructure Pakistan nuclear power on the "EASTCOAST" of the area (southbeach, eastcoast are virtual terms used for popular politics explainer)
