'Democracy is dead' : 'Fanatical' missing airliner pilot pictured wearing political slogan T-shirt

By SIMON PARRY and AMANDA WILLIAMS and WILLS ROBINSON 

PUBLISHED: 22:08 GMT, 15 March 2014 | UPDATED: 18:54 GMT, 16 March 2014

An image has emerged of the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet wearing a T-shirt with a 'Democracy is Dead' slogan as it has been revealed he could have hijacked the plane in an anti-government protest.

Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a father-of-three, was said to be a 'fanatical' supporter of the country's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim - jailed for homosexuality just hours before the jet disappeared.

It has also been revealed that the pilot's wife and three children moved out of the family home the day before the plane went missing.

It comes as FBI investigators say the disappearance of MH370 may have been ‘an act of piracy’ and the possibility that hundreds of passengers are being held at an unknown location has not been ruled out.

Officials also revealed that it is possible the aircraft could have landed and transmitted a satellite signal from the ground. If the plane was intact and had enough electrical power in reserve, it would be able to send out a radar 'ping'.

Captian Shah was an ‘obsessive’ supporter of Ibrahim. And hours before the doomed flight left Kuala Lumpur it is understood 53-year-old Shah attended a controversial trial in which Ibrahim was jailed for five years.

Campaigners say the politician, the key challenger to Malaysia’s ruling party, was the victim of a long-running smear campaign and had faced trumped-up charges.

Police sources have confirmed that Shah was a vocal political activist – and fear that the court decision left him profoundly upset. It was against this background that, seven hours later, he took control of a Boeing 777-200 bound for Beijing and carrying 238 passengers and crew.

Yesterday, Malaysian police searched his house in the upmarket Kuala Lumpur suburb of Shah Alam, where he had installed a home-made flight simulator. But this newspaper can reveal that investigators had already spent much of last week examining two laptops removed from Shah’s home. One is believed to contain data from the simulator

Confirming rising fears, Malaysia’s prime minister Najib Razak announced yesterday that MH370 was deliberately steered off course after its communication system was switched off. He said it headed west over the Malaysian seaboard and could have flown for another seven hours on its fuel reserves.

It is not yet clear where the plane was taken, however Mr Razak said the most recent satellite data suggests the plane could have been making for one of two possible flight corridors. The search, involving 43 ships and 58 aircraft from 15 countries, switched from the South China Sea to the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean. 

In another dramatic twist early Sunday Indian officials however, said the search was on hold until 'fresh search areas' were defined by Malaysia. It is unclear what the reason was for the delay. 

Data showing the number of plausible runways where the plane could have touched down - which need to be at least 5,000ft - offer a baffling number of potential locations.

According to a map drawn up by U.S. radio station WNYC, there are 634 locations which could fit, from Australia to the Maldives to Pakistan.

However, the true number is likely to be even higher, as estimates of how far the plane could have travelled have been increased since the calculations were carried out.

US investigators say faint ‘pings’ were being transmitted for several hours after the flight lost contact with the ground.  

Meanwhile, military radar showed the jet climbed to 45,000ft – above its service limit – which could have been a deliberate attempt to knock out the passengers and crew.

Anwar Ibrahim is a broadly popular democracy icon and former deputy prime minister whose prosecution on a charge of sodomy is seen by many Malaysians as political persecution.

The raids on Captain Shah’s home appeared stage-managed as a display of intent after the Prime Minister said the focus of the investigation was now on ‘crew and passengers’ as a result of the latest leads. 

But investigators have told the Mail on Sunday inquiries into the background of the pilot actually began days earlier.

Malaysian police, helped by FBI agents from the US, are looking into the political and religious backgrounds of both Zaharie and his co-pilot. Zaharie’s home was sealed off yesterday as police spent an hour inside.

However, a senior investigation source said two laptops were taken from the property in low-key visits by police early last week despite a series of denials by officials that his home had been searched or raided. 

One laptop taken away is thought to contain data from the flight simulator while a second contained little information. Zaharie’s personal laptop was not found, and is thought to have been with him in the cockpit of the plane, the source said.

Zaharie’s co-workers have told investigators the veteran pilot was a social activist who was vocal and fervent in his support of Ibrahim.

‘Colleagues made it clear to us that he was someone who held strong political beliefs and was strident in his support for Anwar Ibrahim,’ another investigation source said. ‘We were told by one colleague he was obsessed with politics.’

In their interviews, colleagues said Zaharie told them he planned to attend the court case involving Anwar on March 7, just hours before the Beijing flight, but investigators had not yet been able to confirm if he was among the crowd of Anwar supporters at court.

Zaharie is believed to be separated or divorced from his wife although they share the same house, close to Kuala Lumpur’s international airport. They have three children, but no family members were at home yesterday: only the maid has remained there.

JAILED FOR FIVE YEARS: MALAYSIA'S OPPOSITION LEADER

Anwar Ibrahim is a broadly popular democracy icon and former deputy prime minister whose prosecution on a charge of sodomy is seen by many Malaysians as political persecution.

Campaigners say the politician, the key challenger to Malaysia’s ruling party, was the victim of a long-running smear campaign and had faced trumped-up charges.

Captain Shah, who is thought to have attended the trial in Putrajaya hours before flying, is thought to be incensed by the verdict.

Co-workers have told investigators the veteran pilot was a social activist who was vocal and fervent in his support of Ibrahim.

Investigators said: ‘We are looking into the theory that Zaharie’s political beliefs may be a factor. There are huge sensitivities surrounding this but we cannot afford not to pursue any angle brought to our attention.’

In the days after Flight MH370 disappeared, Zaharie was affectionately described as a good neighbour and an eccentric ‘geek’ who had a flight simulator at home simply because he loved his work so much.

Malaysian officials initially appeared keen not to direct any suspicion towards Zaharie or his co-pilot, 27-year-old Fariq Abdul Hamid, who was last week revealed to have invited two women passengers into the cockpit and smoked on an earlier flight to Phuket.

But evidence of the way the plane’s transponder and communication systems were disabled and the way the plane was expertly flown over the Indian Ocean apparently using navigational waypoints meant only a skilled aviator could have been at the controls. Investigators were also baffled by why, if hijackers took over the plane, there was no Mayday call or signal from the two pilots to say the cockpit had been breached.

At yesterday’s press conference, the suspicion over the pilot’s involvement mounted as prime minister Najib Razak said that investigators had found ‘deliberate action’ on board the plane resulted in it changing course and losing contact with ground crews. 

As a result of the new information, Malaysian authorities had ‘refocused their investigation on crew and passengers aboard’, he said. Police sealed off the area surrounding Zaharie’s home and searched the house shortly after the press conference.

Mr Razak said the new satellite evidence shows ‘with a high degree of certainty’ that the one of the jet’s communications devices – the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System  was disabled just before it had reached the east coast of Malaysia. ACARS is a service that allows computers aboard the plane to relay in-flight information about the health of its systems back to the ground.

Shortly afterwards, near the cross-over point between Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic controllers, the plane’s transponder, which emits an identifying signal, was switched off or, less likely, failed.

According to a military radar, the aircraft then turned and flew back over Malaysia before heading in a north-west direction.

Komunikasi 54 minit terakhir antara MH370 dengan menara kawalan didedah

KUALA LUMPUR: Komunikasi pada 54 minit terakhir antara pesawat Malaysia Airlines (MH370) MH370 yang hilang pada awal pagi 8 Mac dengan menara kawalan didedahkan The Telegraph hari ini.

Laporan itu juga mendedahkan transkrip komunikasi juruterbang bersama dan menara kawalan, dan lain-lain pengawal trafik udara , bermula dari masa Boeing 777-200ER itu berlepas dari landasan hingga ke kedudukannya di ketinggian yang mencecah 35,000 kaki di atas Laut China Selatan.

Transkrip bermula pada 00:25 dengan arahan am daripada menara kawalan kepada juruterbang pesawat Boeing 777-200ER milik Malaysia Airlines (MAS). Perbualan terperinci bermula pada 00:36.

Ia termasuk pertukaran dari satu lokasi di mana penyiasat percaya pesawat itu telah disabotaj, dan juga perkataan terakhir pembantu juruterbang, Fariq Abdul Hamid , 00:27: "All right, good night. "

Penganalisis berkata urutan mesej yang muncul sebagai "perfectly routine" atau rutin tepat bagi setiap penerbangan. Bagaimanapun, mereka berkata terdapat dua ciri yang menonjol sebagai berpotensi ganjil.

Yang pertama adalah mesej dari kokpit pada 01:07 yang memberitahu menara kawalan, pesawat itu terbang pada 35,000 kaki. Ini mengulangi mesej yang disampaikan enam minit lebih awal.

Tetapi, ia berlaku pada 1:07, ketika ACARS, peranti isyarat pesawat, menghantar mesej terakhir sebelum ia dipadamkan dalam masa 30 minit kemudian yang didakwa seperti disengajakan. 
Satu transponder berasingan telah dipadamkan pada 01:21, namun penyiasat percaya ACARS ditutup sebelum 01:19 iaitu ketika komunikasi dari Fariq.

Ciri lain yang pelik, yang boleh dijadikan sebab pesawat itu disyaki mengalami kemalangan adalah bila hilangnya komunkasi dan seterusnya penyerahan pengawal trafik udara di Kuala Lumpur kepada petugas di Bandaraya Ho Chi Minh.

"Jika saya mahu merampas pesawat itu, ia akan menjadi point di mana saya akan melakukannya," kata bekas juruterbang British Airways yang memandu 777s, Stephen Buzdygan.

"Mungkin ada sedikit ruang kosong di antara pengawal trafik udara ... Ia adalah satu-satunya masa semasa penerbangan mereka akan mungkin tidak dapat dilihat dari bawah," katanya.

Maklumat yang didedah The Telegraph itu menambah lagi spekulasi mengenai nasib MH370, sama ada ia adalah mangsa kemalangan tiba-tiba atau dirampas.

Transkrip ini juga menunjukkan bahawa jika juruterbang yang terbabit, mereka sangat berhati-hati untuk menyembunyikan niat sebenar mereka.

Menurut transkrip kokpit, dari saat tanda masuk di 12.36 apabila pesawat itu masih di atas darat, Fariq, melakukan rutinnya memberitahu lokasi, kenaikan dan ketinggian.

Walaupun dia sudah mengambil pendekatan yang sedikit kasual dan pada masa-masa berlepas dari kata-kata rasminya, tidak apa-apa tanda bahawa kapal terbang akan hilang.

Sesetengah pakar berkata, mereka tidak melihat apa-apa yang boleh membuatkan mereka berasa ada perbuatan jahat mungkin telah berlaku.

Pesawat MH370 berlepas dari Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) awal pagi 8 Mac dalam penerbangannya ke Beijing.

Namun pesawat itu dilaporkan hilang dari radar awal pagi 8 Mac dan masih hilang sehingga hari ini. - The Telegraph

Sidang Media Terkini MH370 24 Mac 2014 (Malam)

Petang ini saya diberi taklimat oleh wakil daripada Cawangan Siasatan Kemalangan Udara United Kingdom (AAIB). Mereka memaklumkan kepada saya bahawa Inmarsat, syarikat UK yang menyediakan data satelit yang menunjukkan jalur utara dan selatan, telah menjalankan kiraan lanjut ke atas data berkenaan.

Menggunakan satu bentuk analisis yang belum pernah digunakan sebelum ini dalam siasatan seperti ini, mereka mampu memberi beberapa petunjuk lebih jelas mengenai laluan penerbangan MH370.

Berdasarkan analisis baharu mereka, Inmarsat dan AAIB merumuskan bahawa MH370 terbang di koridor selatan dan kedudukan terakhirnya adalah di tengah-tengah Lautan Hindi, di barat Perth.

Kawasan ini merupakan lokasi terpencil, jauh daripada sebarang tempat pendaratan. Oleh itu dengan perasaan amat sedih dan terharu saya ingin memaklumkan bahawa menurut data terkini, Penerbangan MH370 berakhir di selatan Lautan Hindi.

Kami akan mengadakan satu sidang media esok (Selasa) dengan butiran lanjut. Sementara itu, kami ingin memaklumkan kepada anda tentang perkembangan baru ini secepat mungkin. Kami berkongsi maklumat ini kerana kami komited kepada keterbukaan dan rasa hormati kepada ahli keluarga yang terlibat, dua prinsip yang menjadi amalan dalam siasatan ini.

Malaysia Airlines sudah berhubung dengan ahli keluarga penumpang dan anak kapal untuk memaklumkan kepada mereka perkembangan ini. Bagi mereka, beberapa minggu lepas merupakan tempoh yang memilukan;  saya sedar berita ini akan lebih menyedihkan lagi. Saya menggesa pihak media menghormati privasi mereka dan memberikan mereka ruang yang diperlukan di saat-saat sukar seperti ini.

PM NAJIB RAZAK PRESS STATEMENT ON MH370 24 MARCH 2014, 10PM

This evening I was briefed by representatives from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). They informed me that Inmarsat, the UK company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern and southern corridors, has been performing further calculations on the data. Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370 flight path.

Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.

This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

We will be holding a press conference tomorrow with further details. In the meantime, we wanted to inform you of this new development at the earliest opportunity. We share this information out of a commitment to openness and respect for the families, two principles which have guided this investigation.

Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of this development. For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking; I know this news must be harder still. I urge the media to respect their privacy, and to allow them the space they need at this difficult time.

US Teruskan Ketenteraan Walaupun Menghadapi Resessi

Saya tak tahu nak bahasakan kebijaksanaan ahli Kongres US - Ultra Bijak / Maha Bijak @ Bodoh lagi Dungu. Dalam perbahasan & undian kali pertama bantuan menyelamat US$700b majoriti Kongres menolak usul ini kerana bimbang bantahan pembayar cukai. Pada 24 Sept 08 Kongres meluluskan bil peruntukan belanjawan pertahanan berjumlah US$612b. 392 undi menyokong & 39 menentang.

Belanjawan ini meliputi kos operasi di Iraq-Afghan, pembangunan misil baru, intelligence dll. Jika difokuskan kelengkapan ketenteraan; Misil nuklear dalam Jabatan Tenaga, Jabatan Negara, Kebajikan Pesara Tentera semua sekali melebihi trillion dollar setahun.

Dalam ucapan Setiausaha Pertahanan di Universiti Pertahanan Washington, Robert Gates berkata "pertahanan harus memahami had kuasa tempur dan pemimpin harus melihat teknologi dapat memenuhi keperluan medan perang" bermaksud perang akan terus menjadi komitmen utama mereka. Kekuatan misil & alat tempur bukan lagi pilihan perdaganan negara - negara 'bebas' seperti Malaysia, Iran Cuba dan sewaktu dengannya. Ini kerana misil dan alat tempur Amerika dikawal dengan source code. Fungsi source code ini ialah meng-disable kan alat tersebut dari berfungsi. Contohnya 8 unit Hornet F-18 yang dibeli TUDM tidak boleh membawa misil sama sekali. Termasuk misil uadara - udara AIM 120 yang dibeli dari Amerika hanya jadi perhiasan saja!
Paling teruk usul ini disokong juga oleh 2 calon Running President, Obama & Mc Cain. Bajet akan terus menaik setiap tahun. Tapi mencipta adakah lebih banyak misil akan mewujudkan keamanan dimuka bumi? Ekonomi Amerika diramal terus merosot kerana masalah inflasi akan menyusul selepas ini (stagnant + inflation = stagflation). Dengan tercetaknya dollar begitu banyak sehingga tidak bersandarkan nilai emas, masalah hyper inflasi pula akan menyusul. Dari komen, blog, majalah ekonomi & lain-lain sumber, saya meramalkan nilai dollar akan menyusut lagi apabila negara Arab menggunakan Euro. Dengan harga minyak mentah yang semakin menurun, kegiatan spekulasi yang didalangi broker Amerika terus mencatatkan kerugian; menurunnya hasil cukai kepada kerajaan. Jika Amerika terus bermain api dengan China, apa akan jadi jika China menjual kembali 1 trillion simpanan dollarnya?

The US military's fallout shelter
By David Isenberg

WASHINGTON - Some people may think one consequence of the ongoing United States financial crisis would be increased pressure for cuts in military spending. But that is unlikely to happen. While the crisis will increase fiscal pressure to reduce military spending, as it is the largest pot of discretionary funding in the federal budget, other countervailing political factors will ensure that there likely will be no significant reduction. Consider that on September 24, during the fight over the Wall Street bailout, the House of Representatives passed by a vote of 392-39 a $612 billion defense authorization bill for 2009, which includes both baseline military spending and funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other counter-terrorism operations. The fact that the bill was approved without public or congressional protest indicates there is unlikely to be any significant pressure to cut military or related national security spending. The latter category includes nuclear weapons spending at the Energy Department, plus the State Department, as well as Veterans Affairs, and the intelligence agencies. All together that totals exceeds a trillion dollars annually. It is a truism, but the primary reason for continued high levels of military spending is that the United States is at war. Unlike the situation at the end of the 1980s and early 1990s, no factors are comparable with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, which drove a significant reduction in US military spending. Today, the situation is reversed. The United States is fighting the "war on terror" and politically both the incumbent administration and the opposition party are reluctant to cut military spending at such a time. In fact, nothing in the campaign platforms of either Republican Senator John McCain or Democratic Senator Barack Obama suggests they plan to significantly reduce military spending. McCain says the United States must enlarge the size of its armed forces. That alone will guarantee that operational and support costs, traditionally one of the highest categories of US military spending, stay high. Likewise, Obama supports plans to increase the size of the army by 65,000 soldiers and the marines by 27,000 troops. Finally, there is the longstanding congressional tradition that by voting for more military spending, they are providing "jobs" for their economy, not to mention their constituents, as a more general Keynesian pump-priming mechanism. It is true, however, that some military officials see the administration-proposed financial bailout of Wall Street as a direct threat to the military budget. Pentagon comptroller Tina Jonas said the US financial crisis may lead to lower defense budgets and more public demand for accountability over spending. "Any crisis of this nature is going to affect - must affect - other federal spending," Jonas, the Defense Department's top money official since July 2004, said on September 26 in an interview on her last day in office. Any analysis that suggested defense budgets would escape impact was too sanguine, she added. Yet a few days later she said the US military wanted an increase of $57 billion in fiscal 2010, about 13.5% more than this year's budget of $514.3 billion. While that request would include costs that to date have been paid by supplemental appropriations it would still be a real increase. In the long term, another factor that could reduce spending is a step away from the technology heavy hardware which was a mainstay during former defense secretary's Donald Rumsfeld's tenure. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in a speech on September 29 at the National Defense University in Washington that the military must understand the limits of combat power and its leaders must be skeptical that technology can bring order to the battlefield. He cautioned against efforts to reorganize the Pentagon around buzzwords like "transformation", and challenged those who advocate investing in smaller numbers of higher-technology weapons in a belief that war can be revolutionized. "Be modest about what military force can accomplish, and what technology can accomplish." Gates said the Pentagon had placed too much emphasis on high-technology weapons systems aimed at potential state adversaries such as China and Russia, which take years to develop. He noted that the 2009 budget contained more than $180 billion for such conventional systems. Given US military dominance in air, land and sea power, the Pentagon can safely shift away from building small numbers of highly advanced ships, aircraft and other systems and instead purchase larger quantities of simpler, cheaper equipment. Army secretary Pete Geren, a former four-term congressman from Texas, also cautioned last Monday that the proposed $700 billion rescue plan could take a toll on the army's budget in the coming years. The financial crisis could exacerbate the fact that defense budgets traditionally are cut drastically at the end of wars, he said. Because of its high personnel costs, the army does not have the flexibility of other services to spend on new weapons systems. Thus it will face substantial pressure to cut back on its troubled flagship modernization program, the Future Combat Systems, and its new helicopter programs. Last week, as it has each year since the mid-1990s, the US Army sent its "wish list" (in which it seeks to supplement its own budget with "extracurricular" money) that it, as well as the other services, sends to Congress each year after. Given that it bears the largest share of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the army only sought $3.9 billion. Although, when you take into account the amount by which the 2009 army budget already has been increased over and above the extrapolated 2001 plan for 2009 it is apparent that the army actually is seeking a $54.5 billion "wish list plus-up". Even so, the army leadership said it would seek larger overall budget requests in future years. Ironically, this indicates that the basis for each of the services' "plus-ups" is not war-related; instead they are an artifact of the post-September 11, 2001, political environment. Specifically, as noted above, in times of war politicians in the executive branch and Congress are willing to support a generally rising tide of defense spending, even when it is not spent on problem areas, such as a smaller force structure or reduced readiness. Even if the US withdraws a large number of its forces from Iraq relatively soon, the costs will continue to rise for some time. The war in Iraq will cost far more in the next year than the Iraq portion of that $68.6 billion Congress has provided in the in the new military. Thus, some time in 2009, the direct costs of the war there, that the Bush administration once predicted would cost perhaps $50-60 billion in total, will cost more than $800 billion, or $100 billion above the cost (in the best-case scenario) of the bailout of the financial system now being proposed in Washington. This excludes long-term costs such as payments of health care and veterans benefits, which ultimately could total somewhere between one-and-a-half and seven times the bailout money. Yet as long as the United States remains at war nobody expects to see a decline in military spending. Despite large war costs there is nothing comparable to the end of the Cold War, or the Great Depression that would drive military spending significantly downward. According to Larry Korb, an assistant secretary of defense in the Ronald Reagan administration and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund in Washington, "The budget has been projected to go up. Will it go up as fast as projected is the question?" A similar opinion was given by Steven Kosiak, vice president of Budget Studies, at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and Budgetary Studies. "In the future the budget, at worst, will likely stay flat and grow more slowly than projected. The only real question is what the rate of growth will be."

Eurocopter awarded tender to replace Nuri

THE Defence Ministry has agreed to acquire new helicopters from European helicopter manufacturers, Eurocopter, to replace the Nuri, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced yesterday. He said the ministry was now scrutinising the clauses in the agreement before signing it officially with the company concerned.“I have been told that the Defence Ministry has identified Eurocopter as the replacement for Nuri. “The Defence Ministry had received many applications from international aircraft manufacturers and suppliers,” Abdullah, who is also the Defence Minister, told reporters after attending a special briefing at Wisma Pertahanan, Jalan Padang Tembak, Kuala Lumpur.
On Sept 17, Abdullah handed over the post of Finance Minister to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and took over the Defence Ministry. Abdullah had once held the Defence Minister’s post from 1986 to 1987 - Bernama

Adakah Russia akan memulakan perang dunia ke-3?

Persamaan perang dunia pertama dengan perkembangan mukhtahir; Russia mengundurkan tentera dari Georgia boleh mencetuskan perang dunia ke-3. Ini tidak mustahil kerana bergantung kepada sikap kedua2 negara. Nampaknya Amerika yang dibelenggu resessi ekonomi & masalah kewangan mula melabuhkan kapal perangnya di Georgia. Dah nak muflis nak perang jugak ke? NATO juga sedia menghimpit Rusia "jika perlu". Selamat membaca. Berita asal dari Asia Times Online.

Let's talk about World War IIIBy Nikolai Sokov It is time to seriously contemplate World War III. The most important elements are already in place. Just as so many experts on the Caucasus have predicted, the region has become a power keg and the main source of great-power rivalry. Obviously, disagreements between great powers go far beyond this region and, in fact, conflicts and war in the Caucasus are rather insignificant in their grand games and calculations. Yet the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and Russia all have important symbolic stakes there - there are promises to local players and fears that abandoning them might hurt reputation and global standing. Paradoxically, the chances of a major, global armed conflict have increased since the probability of a large-scale nuclear war has declined to zero, in all practical terms. No one fears that the world will be annihilated, and thus the world is now deemed reasonably safe for a conventional war. Let us try to imagine how World War III might start. World War I started with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz-Ferdinand by Serbs in Sarajevo. The act was senseless - Franz Ferdinand was widely believed to be the more sensible and moderate member of the Austrian imperial family. Russia - the ally and patron of Serbia at the time - certainly did not authorize it, although there are rumors that some Russian diplomats and intelligence officers knew about the plans. Yet Russia felt compelled to intervene on the side of Serbia when Austria - predictably - responded with all its military might: just a few years earlier Russia had abandoned Serbia to the mercy of Vienna, and doing this a second time was deemed untenable. This is, in a nutshell, how World War I unfolded. Let us move to the South Caucasus now. There is talk in Washington and Brussels that, following what is classified as Russian aggression, Georgia will soon receive a Membership Action Plan (MAP) for joining NATO. The prospects of membership are quite uncertain, however, because some members of NATO (aptly classified by Donald Rumsfeld as "Old Europe") are not enthusiastic. Yet in the United States the idea about "defending Georgia" is very popular, thanks to a large extent to the preidential election campaign in which candidates have been able to use the war in Georgia to their advantage. In fact, Georgia does not have to become a member of NATO - a long process fraught with many impediments. It is much easier to simply deploy two or three battalions of US troops in Georgian territory to convert it into a new version of West Germany during the Cold War. Fifty years ago US troops in West Germany served as hostages: American deaths as a result of a Soviet attack would have inevitably drawn the United States into a shooting war with the Soviets. This was one of the more brilliant schemes. We do not know whether it actually worked because we do not know whether the Soviet Union actually planned to attack, but the logic seems sound. The advantage of unilateral American guarantees of this sort is that the decision can be made quickly, it will score major political points, and avoid the inevitable squabbles of alliance politics. Now, the truly wild card in the game of defending Georgia is whether the Georgian leadership - in the near future this means Mikheil Saakashvili - will be prepared to play as part of a team. One irrefutable fact about what the Russians now call the "five-day war" is that for years the United States very clearly and forcefully warned Georgia to avoid direct conflict with Russia. Yet, Saakashvili and his team went to war, and when they realized they were losing they asked Washington to interfere militarily. This truly casts doubts about whether the same people will care about the US's interests when they obtain "automatic" security guarantees. Now imagine the repetition of exactly the same scenario a year from now. With troops in Georgia, the US government will not be able to stay away or back down. Whatever actually provokes hostilities, the US's pro-Georgian and anti-Russian version will prevail. This means America will be at war. The Russians cannot back down either, and their pretext will be the exact opposite of Tbilisi's and Washington's. They will be at war as well. Obviously, Russian troops can overwhelm the Georgian military, but they do not stand a chance against the United States. Active military doctrine has an answer to that - limited Russian use of nuclear weapons against the military bases from which Americans mount attacks and against command and control centers. We are talking about an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean and perhaps a few US bases in Europe. Welcome to World War III - mostly conventional and spiced with a few nuclear mushrooms here and there. The truly fascinating aspect of this gloomy scenario is that the two leading emerging economic and political powers of the world, China and India, are completely outside the game. For them, there are no interests and no stakes, whether real or imaginary, in a US-Russian war over the South Caucasus. This is cause for hope. If we can safely live through the transition period as economic and eventually political power shifts from traditional capitals toward Asia, we might avoid a direct clash between major powers and nuclear weapons use. The way economic trends run these days, we only need to be lucky for a few years.
