Vladimir Putin makes positive noises toward US
Mexico City News.Net Friday 5th December, 2008
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has said the United States will feel a positive change in attitude from Moscow if President-elect Barack Obama is more friendly with Russia.
In a question and answer session with members of the Russian public, he avoided his previous harsh rhetoric toward outgoing president George Bush.
Putin said he had perceived a more conciliatory tone toward Russia from aides to the US President-elect and was further heartened by NATO's decision this week not to allow membership to Georgia and Ukraine.
The Russia/Georgia war this year caused enmity between the US and Russia, which was reminiscent of the Cold War era.
The US plans to locate elements of its missile shield system in Europe have still not changed, although Putin said he hoped the new President would cancel the proposals.

USA and CIS Russia
Dear Sir, As an observer of relations with Russia, i have to say that Prime Minister Putin is working in the Russian national interest. In the case of the USA national interest I’m not convinced that the Bush Administration has been reciprocal. In a CNN public forum debate, prior to the USA elections, Mr. Powell and Ms. Albright and others seemed to agree that the Georgian President was wrong when he deliberately attacked neighboring members of the CIS. It is in this context that the new US and CIS Russian interests must regain the balance and work with mutual respect for each other. Oh, and just for the record, was not George H. Bush head of America’s secret intelligence service. And do not all governments around the world conduct secret intelligence as has been done since man was set upon this planet?

Anyone that thinks they are an island, well then have you considered that you are limited to that island.. What would have happened in the current financial crisis if there were not a global community to help solve this mess that was created by the greed of key players in corporate america..

After 2008 US Presidential Election, the 2012 DAN QUAYLE Coalition see Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and PM Vladimir Putin are gaining quite a lot on chessboard lately, we can see Putin and Medvedev has a continuous good fortune in next 4 years in Russia’s foreign affairs. Of course US DAN QUAYLE led American Capitalism only can catch up with Russia on chessboard in 2013 DAN QUAYLE administration in White House. Keeping our head down, 2009 American Republicans must work harder on our “American Energy Independent” fulfillment of offshore oil drillings first in American soil to compete with tycoon PM Putin !
