About Bout I actually wrote two articles that explain their point of view ( U.S. sent an aircraft carrier crew for the Booth in 6000. And you weak? and dogonku In the article on Bute. Congratulations! ). In one of them, I said the following:
What can we say about the deal bout? It lasts longer semitrajectory years. In this battle there are three parties: the first party is Russia, the second - the U.S., and the third-Thailand.
If the analogy with the game football, it turns out that Booth is a ball, one team, Russia, the second-USA, and the stadium, unfortunately for the Thais in their territory.
why Thailand is not lucky? Yes because they will have to meet two requirements are mutually exclusive ...
Russia demands release of its citizens, and U.S. extradition.
In late August, Prime Minister Talianda made it clear that this case is purely political. He said: "In case of Victor Bout, Thailand - the third party. It is necessary that the United States and Russia itself decided the issue between themselves "-RiaNovosti. This is the same" democratic "??
States explained by the fact that Booth, ostensibly, is a "merchant of death"-that is, weapons. But let's think logically, can a man sell weapons on such a scale without the undercover? This is unlikely! Throughout the history of trade with arms linked with the tasks of security forces. That is not even a trade, and performance of special tasks of the country.
Recently theme of Victor Bout has become very topical. It is known that on 20 August Court of Appeals Thailand has decided to extradite Bout to the U.S., but there ability to make some bureaucratic problems, so the issue had to be postponed.
on Thai law, if Court of Appeal decision will not be fulfilled within 90 days (until 20 November), the defendant must (!) release.
What is the result? And turns out that for Booth was trade between Russia and the U.S.. Thailand did not play any role here, as he said, so he did.
"Victor was taken a few minutes ago. Police officers from escort told me that he was being taken to Don Muang Air Force Base. There will be all the immigration formalities, after which Victor will give Americans, "said the lawyer
" I'll go to Don Muang and try to get to Victor bye with his wife. What is happening now - absolutely outrageous. Nobody put it in popularity - with me, nor the Embassy (of Russia), nor the wife of Victor "- added he said.
And you? The same democratic (!). After compliance with all human rights principles and the accused! The lawyer, who by law is the alter ego of the accused, not was advised that his client is exported from the country. Think about the way you want, but I spit on such a democracy. She did not need. It is not necessary neither my home country, Armenia and Russia itself. What do we have? The whole world was on tenterhooks the whole world spoke and discussed this issue, and the U.S., sorry, Thai authorities did not bother to communicate its decision to smuggle a Russian citizen in Russia's embassy in Thailand. Why illegal? Because Thai court has twice pleaded guilty to a Russian businessman alleged crimes of his unproven.
"The plane with Victor Bout on board flew from an Air Force base, "Don Muang in Bangkok in exactly three and a half hours after the Thai Cabinet decided to approve the American request for his extradition "
I myself arrived at the prison at the consular visit, and learned that Victor is not there already. As usual, yesterday we sent warden request for a consular visit, and we have it confirmed. The lawyer was there, too. We all, of course, already knew about media reports that today Victor can take. It turns out that the embassy, \u200b\u200band a lawyer and close Booth learned of the impending extradition only from media reports "- said the Russian diplomat.
I have the following question arises: if he illegally supplied arms to Africa, then why not try him in Africa? Or in Russia, of which he is? How U.S. jurisdiction could reach him in Thailand? Why does it have to judge the Americans? He was doing something in the U.S.?-No! He acted to the detriment of "national security" the U.S.?-No! So where it wants to prosecute in the U.S.?
Well, as they say, lost so lost! For me it is a little less foreign policy in the treasury of the current government. Now I am waiting for response from the Russian Federation. First, the hard political statements directed primarily toward Thailand, and then the U.S.. Providing serious legal aid Buta in the USA! We too can search and find a man who worked or are working in the U.S., in order to exchange it with Booth, as this was the case during a spy. From Thailand to act tough. Well, for example, our veterinarian shooter-Onishchenko, can tell the Russians that in Thailand this year, be safe to rest, since you can take a chance infected with any disease (think it is something that can only be political will was).
According to U.S. CM and the plane, which was extradited Russian businessman Viktor Bout will arrive in New York about 21.00 on Tuesday on New York time (about 05.00 MSK medium).
now turn to the political reaction of the Russian side, which I was, until, that is not a particularly happy:
"It (extradition Buta in the USA) was the result of massive political pressures imposed by Washington on the Thai authorities. We seek now an immediate consular access to Mr. Bout. He - a Russian citizen, he is entitled to all rights that any citizen of Russia, got into trouble in a similar situation, has to be respected, "- said RyabkovForeign Minister, speaking about e the situation, put it as follows: "This whole story - a sample of blatant injustice"
all! Once is not enough for the case of this magnitude. Although much time has passed does not wait, can understand what's what ...
American side, as usual, treats our ears, the words of "democracy", "legality", "impartiality" of the case. Ryabkova colleague suggests that this case will not affect Russian-US relations. That they are very strong and this kind of situation can not change the situation.
"This will create a ripple, but do not worry. We have a mature relationship with Russia, based on national interests that this case can not change. There are issues on which we agree and on which we disagree, and we solve these questions. And in this case we will work to overcome existing difficulties
We act in full accordance with international law. We know that the Russian government thinks about this. We are discussing with them this question "I comment here too. But I think it would be interesting learn about what an American expert Ternovskii, behind which is about 30 years of experience in the system of American jurisprudence, appreciate the chance Bout to be justified.
"... Booth is innocent. How would it not curse in the western media and pasting labels loud, I think his chances of being justified in New York are high enough. The cornerstone of the American system of justice - the presumption of innocence. Charges will not be easy, proving in an open adversarial trial versions of their ...
... dragged America Booth at the stadium, but he has every chance of winning the case and in a foreign field ...
... The federal system is not too much to bring the case before the court verdict. Typically, the judicial court considered the federal prosecution as a forum negotiations, which seek a compromise. In this process, much depends on the lawyers ...
... I hope that will protect Bout "dream team" which is, of course, a lot from a financial point of view . But the professionalism of lawyers plays a very important role in the U.S. justice system ...
... Does he reach it Bout to court and when it is, or will be settled by compromise - will determine the directors of the one and two sides (prosecution and defense )..."What a "dream team" I do not know, but Russia budget ADEQUATE!
PS We will wait for further developments. Russia must, she must return its citizens on their land! Only for the fact that he did not become traitors. If he had said everything that needed to MI, it would not tortured! Means holds, then does not betray, so should be rewarded BACK HOME!
What do you think, dear readers? How will the Russian side? Will exchange Bout? Find a suitable small coin? In general, how to treat this case?
these days will take stock of the competition Who is the hero of the XX century? The choice is yours! request to those who have not participated in it, to attend to pattern of voting was more or less objective. After summarizing the results I'll write a post about the winning candidate, which I will talk about the little-known facts of his life.
