I am sure there is no way that cold realtion ship which is a result of diplomatic disabilities of the Bushney,s administration can be reapired and no matter what Bush or his successer(if McCain) does, there will no be any kind of real cooporation between Russia and America in order to create a peaceful world.
The only way all this trouble can end will be another kind of administration in the White House. Russia has been angry from day one they took Iraq and they have lost a lot money because of that and a lot politichal honour as well and feeling being laughed upon form day one Bush took over.
I dont beleive playing with a lions tail ever is a good idea, and think it is best to find a language acceptable for any body one wants to talk with.
You know who else lost a lot of money on Iraq? Beside the Russian....
Good old Europeans did.......France, Germany, and other had major contracts with Sadam.
Why would the Russian lost political face with Iraq? Dude...........Iraq is not even in their sphere of influence after the break up.
But I guess.....since Putin showed President Bush where his yacht would be berthed during the coming Russian Winter Olmpics.....the freeze between the two must be over.....and Russia is going to be stop the nuc contract with Iran? Anyone that believes that, I have some land east of KSC to show them here in Florida.
Beside Dude......no one has to worry about Russia.....they are harmless....detoothed..... defanged.....all they want to do is take Euro for thier crude and become rich billionaires. Gesh, I'm not even sure why we have troops in Europe any more....or why you need to have this EuroArmy.......of course they building new battle tanks and new
advanced fighter attack aircaft. So maybe is premature to leave you guys.
Dude, I will tell you something. After the break up of Russia. If we wanted to embarress Russia. We surely could have. When the Russian sub went down....the US was one of the first to offer help. When Aeroflot got into trouble here with routes and such, we tried to keep
it flying into the US. We have reprocessed tons of old nuclear materials for Russia. And paid for much of the nuc disarment. Paid for much of the Russian nuc security programs. We let Russia into the Space Program and yes needed them after the Shuttle accident. But could have kept them out and shut the Space Station program down.so if we wanted to embaress Russia or to be less than friendly with then a wounded bear, we could have been. GWB took the high road with Russia in many ways.
What did the US and world get in return get in return? Putin and Pres A shaking hands on nuc deals. Russia playing games with crude prices to the Ukraine. Russian hackers coming into the Baltic states financial institution systems with cyber hacking and theft. Russian weapons contracts to Sadam and Iran.
Tugging the Russian bear's tail is good to do at times. Specially when you can do it with stealth aircraft. And they don't even know you are tugging it. Go Stealth Go....
