Washington, we have a problem...: New Scientist Space Blog
"The latest international news, of course, is that the Russians are throwing their weight around in Georgia and most everyone else, including the US, doesn't approve. This might all quiet down and blow over; that's happened before. Or it might not, in which case relations between the US and Russia might be less friendly for a while. This could make life interesting for NASA in 2011. "

Senators: Space station jeopardized by Georgia conflict
| BetaNews
"the Iran, North Korea, Syria Non-Proliferation Act, which became law in 2000, bans the the US from purchasing services from countries that trade nuclear or ballistic supplies with Iran. Were it not for a 2005 exemption in the bill expressly related to the United States' use of the Soyuz capsule, Russia's dealings with Iran would render the Russian Space Agency off-limits to US organizations.
From the bill:

"...Prohibits, with specified exceptions, any U.S. agency from making extraordinary payments to the Russian Space Agency in connection with the International Space Station, or any other organization or entity of the Government of the Russian Federation, unless the President has determined, and reported to specified congressional committees, that:
(1) it is the policy of the Government of the Russian Federation to oppose the proliferation to Iran of weapons of mass destruction and missile systems capable of delivering such weapons;
(2) such government has demonstrated through the implementation of concrete steps a commitment to seek out and prevent the transfer to Iran of goods, services, and technology that could make a material contribution to the development of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, or of ballistic or cruise missile systems, including through the imposition of penalties on persons who make such transfers; and
(3) neither the Russian Space Agency, nor any organization under its control, has, during the one-year period prior to the determination, made transfers to Iran of controlled goods, services, or technology or non-controlled goods, services, or technology with potential to make a material contribution to Iran's development of nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons, or of ballistic or cruise missile systems."

The exemption will expire in 2011, but NASA's Constellation Program is not expected to be completed until 2015. Until that time, the sole means of transport for US astronauts was the Soyuz capsule."

Discord With Russia a Worry for NASA - washingtonpost.com
"NASA's ability to send its astronauts to the $100 billion international space station is in danger of becoming a costly casualty of the Russia-Georgia war.
Congress has to pass a waiver to a 2000 law forbidding government contracts with nations that help Iran and North Korea with their nuclear programs, as Russia has done. Even before the Georgia incursion, the bill faced strong opposition, and key members said this week that the chances of granting a waiver now are slim."

WR2312日中戦争の問題点を検証する80号060804
"毛沢東率いる共産党も陝西省の延安で阿片栽培をしている。１９３７年(昭和１２)に蒋介石から延安に定住することを認めてもらった毛沢東は、１９４１年(昭和１６)６月にドイツがソ連に侵攻したのを見て、毛沢東はモスクワからの資金援助が途絶えた場合のことを考えて、阿片栽培を始めた。毛沢東はこれを「革命的鴉片(阿片)戦争」と呼んでいた。３万エーカーの土地にケシを栽培して畑の周囲にコーリャンを植えて隠した。結果は大儲けだった。たった一年で今の価格で言うと、６億４０００万ドルもの大金を得た"

WR2312日中戦争の問題点を検証する80号060804
"里見の阿片商売は飛躍的に利益を出した。上海派遣軍高級参謀・長勇(ちょういさむ)大佐の進言によりペルシャ産の阿片を扱うことにしたからである。宏済善堂がペルシャ産阿片で儲けた利益は約２千万ドルになったが、興亜院に支払った。
翌年には蒙古阿片も扱った。これはほとんど中華航空の飛行機で運ばれた。阿片売買による利益は興亜院が管理し、３分の１が南京政府(汪兆銘政府)の財務省に、３分の１が阿片改善局に、残り３分の１が宏済善堂に分配されていた。汪兆銘政府の仕掛け人は参謀本部第八課の課長で謀略担当の影佐禎昭である。里見のもとには多くの軍人たちが金をねだりに訪れた。"

アヘン王、巨利の足跡　新資料、旧日本軍の販売原案も -（朝日新聞社）：
"日中戦争中、中国占領地でアヘン流通にかかわり「アヘン王」と呼ばれた里見甫（はじめ）（１８９６〜１９６５）が、アヘンの取扱高などを自ら記した資料や、旧日本軍がアヘン販売の原案を作っていたことを示す資料が日本と中国で相次いで見つかった。取扱高は現在の物価で年５６０億円にのぼり、旧日本軍がアヘン流通で巨利を得ていたことがうかがえる。
日本側の資料は「華中宏済善堂内容概記」で、国立国会図書館にある元大蔵官僚・毛里英於菟（もうり・ひでおと）の旧所蔵文書に含まれていた。"
http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0816/OSK200808160057.html
"中国側の資料は、南京の中国第二歴史トウ案（トウは木へんに當）館で発見。極秘印がある「中支阿片麻薬制度ニ関スル参考資料」と題する文書などで、この文書は３８年１０月１日付で軍特務部が作成していた"
