Cheniere Readies First LNG Shipment, Facing Challenging Market

U.S. natural-gas exports start as overseas demand for LNG is slowing

The first ship carrying natural gas from the Gulf Coast is expected to depart soon, marking the emergence of the U.S. as a major exporter and the globalization of the once highly regionalized gas trade.

U.S. stationing tanks and artillery in classified Norwegian caves

Marines are prepositioning battle tanks, artillery and logistics equipment inside Norwegian caves as the U.S. pushes to station equipment near the NATO-Russia frontier."

Any gear that is forward-deployed both reduces cost and speeds up our ability to support operations in crisis, so we're able to fall in on gear that is ready-to-go and respond to whatever that crisis may be," Col. William Bentley, operations officer for the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, said in a statement Friday on the Norwegian deployment that called the caves classified.

The deployment of new equipment to the Cold War-era caves comes amid renewed tensions between NATO and Russia. Russia shares a 121.6-mile long border with Norway. The border was heavily militarized during the Cold War, and the Russian navy's Northern Fleet is in Murmansk, about 100 miles from the border.

In October, Norway's Chief of Defense, Adm. Haakon Bruun-Hanssen, told reporters that Russia has "shown that they are willing to use military force to achieve political ambitions."

Latest China news I read was that they stationed SAMs on the island they just built.

But China is a great home to US mfrs, so China can whatever the they want to do because BigCorp, who makes US foreign policy, loves them.

How do you figure? If you thought "why do you your mother" was said in anger you would be wrong. It was to demonstrate the stupidity of loaded questions. I liked it better than "why do you beat your wife" which is the usual example given.

I believe the correct example is "do you still beat your wife?". So either a "yes" or "no" confirms that they did beat their wife.

Russians have proposed a cease fire to start on March 1st. Most likely they are confident they can obliterate the rebels by that time. 3 weeks.

Meanwhile Erdohitler and French puppets crying about Russia being mean to their terrorists. ErdoHItler: "US is allowing a sea of blood..."

book this:

SOME BIG HUGE IS GOING TO GO DOWN IN THE NEXT 3 WEEKS. Whether another army jumping into Syria, air-air skirmishes, a huge Assad/Putin victory or big terrorist attack. HEED MY WORDS. something BIG is going to happen in the next 3 weeks.

Russia gives a gift of 10,000 automatic rifles to Afghanistan

Afghan officials took delivery of 10,000 automatic rifles and millions of rounds of ammunition as a gift from Russia on Wednesday, another sign of deepening involvement by Moscow in the war-torn country.

Dependent almost entirely on foreign aid, Afghan security forces are struggling to secure the country amid a rising insurgency.

As the NATO-led coalition's military presence dwindled last year, Afghan leaders reached out to Moscow, which fought a war of its own in Afghanistan during the 1980s, for more Russian-made weapons, including small arms, artillery and attack helicopters.

"This donation represents a deep friendship between two nations," Afghan national security adviser Hanif Atmar said at an event marking delivery of the arms shipment. "This important donation is from an important friend of Afghanistan in a crucial time for Afghanistan and the region."

Ceasefire

Turkey still s ing Syrian towns and sending massive weapons and men

Saudi about to launch a ground and air attack on Syria

Saudi Arabia Deploys Combat Aircraft to Turkey

It’s clear that the recently adopted ceasefire threatens the Turkish and Saudi interests in Syria significantly. Both countries support a wide range of Islamic militant groups including Al Nusra Front, which was designated as a terrorist organization by the UNSC. Turkey has clearly been violating Syria’s sovereignty with its systematic artillery s ing of the northern part of the country and by allowing the flow of reinforcements to militants while Saudi Arabia spent significant amounts of petro-dollars in order to support groups attempting to overthrow the Syrian government. In this case, the Turkish statements claiming the possibility of a military invasion of Syria and Saudi Arabia’s intention to deploy an air force to support the Turkish operations can’t be ignored.





Saudi Arabia is sending fighter jets and soldiers to a military base in Turkey ahead of a ground assault on Syria, reports suggest.
The possible invasion is said to be both a move against both ISIS and Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
Turkey’s foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu confirmed the deployment of Saudi Arabia’s military in a statement to the Yeni Safak newspaper today, saying: ‘Saudi Arabia declared its determination against Daesh by saying that they were ready to send both jets and troops.
