802On fait grand bruit concernant ces étranges “espions” de Moscou (ex-URSS et ex-KGB ? Nul ne sait) aux USA, qui sont inculpés mais pas d’espionnage… Nous donnons deux extraits d’articles à nos lecteurs, qui permettront d’alimenter un commentaire.
• C’est d’abord The Independent du 3 juillet 2010. Quelques développements sur les commentaires de l’homme de la rue à Moscou, puis cette conclusion, venant aux conceptions sérieuses.
«But the chief feeling is of bewilderment. Why, Russians are asking over and over again, would the Americans do something like this just after the friendly meeting between Medvedev and Obama? (The FBI's story – that they swooped because the suspects were about to flee – is almost universally derided.) “Personally, I think they were trying to cover up the scandal they have with that oil spill in Louisiana,” suggested an accountant from Moscow.
»A blogger for the liberal Echo of Moscow radio station had other ideas. “It's either self-promotion by security services fishing for more funding, the Americans trying to sabotage the reset in relations, or the Democrats trying to wring more concessions from Russia,” he declared. But the most popular theory, reported amongst others by Kommersant, a reputable daily and Russia's paper of record, is that “the interests of the FBI took precedence over those of the state”.
»“It's America's problem,” shrugged Alexei Mukhin, director of a usually well-informed think tank, when asked if the scandal could affect relations. He compared the American political structure to the Russian siloviki, the hard-line ex-spies said to surround Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. “The American siloviki decided to show Medvedev that not everything is so smooth in Russian-American relations. And they really set up their own President Obama. It's hard to imagine anything like that happening here if Obama had just visited.”
»And that, of course, explains the Government's relative calm. According to Markov, the Kremlin has identified two main goals: “To support Obama against his enemies and not to rock the boat.”
• C’est ensuite The Hill, publication couvrant les informations du Congrès, qui publie, ce 2 juillet 2010, un article sur les problèmes de ratification de l’accord Russie-USA START-II. Assez curieusement, l’article, très long et détaillé (6.448 signes), ne comprend que 5% de son volume (373 signes) sur les espions, et encore avec une répétition entre le chapeau et le corps du texte, alors que la chose fait le titre de l’article («Russian spy ring may be last straw for Obama nuclear arms treaty»). Cela indique que ce point, qui n’est substantivé par rien de publiable, est néanmoins le fait majeur…
«A U.S.-Russia arms treaty is teetering in the Senate, lacking support from Republicans and set back by an alleged spy ring. […]
»This week’s arrest of 11 alleged Russian spies in the U.S. has made the passage of the treaty an even steeper uphill climb. According to court documents, two of the alleged Russian agents were asked by Moscow to collect information about the treaty.»
