The US is trying to prevent Russia from recreating a new version of the Soviet Union under the ruse of economic integration, Hillary Clinton warned on Thursday.
“There is a move to re-Sovietise the region,” the US secretary of state told a news conference in Dublin hours before going into a meeting with her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.
“It’s not going to be called that. It’s going to be called a customs union, it will be called Eurasian Union and all of that,” she said, referring to various iterations of a Moscow-backed plan to deepen economic ties with its neighbours.
“But let's make no mistake about it. We know what the goal is and we are trying to figure out effective ways to slow down or prevent it.”
Mrs Clinton said efforts at regional hegemony had been accompanied by new campaigns of repression from pro-Moscow regimes throughout the former Soviet Union. Her tone signalled that the US was rethinking its “reset” in relations with Russia, declared in 2009, during which criticism of its human rights record has been muted and Moscow appeared to have a freer hand in the former Soviet region...

Hillary and Obama don’t want any competition against the Soviet-Style USSA republic they are working on right here in Amerika.- But at least we would be on the same side!
How the hell is she gonna stop Russia?
I think the left hates Russia now because it is White, Christian, and they are blantantly non PC.
I believe you. So what the heckityhook is HillBilly talking about?
It may have something to do with Russia supporting Syria while we’re providing support to the insurgents flooding into Syria. There’s supposed to be a sit down with Russia over Syria. My guess is Hilary and Obama will not interfere with Russia in Europe if Russia dumps Assad. That means no export licenses for LNG going to Europe.
Russia will still have their hooks into Europe and Obama buys another country for the Muslim Brotherhood. If RT shuts up about our interference in Syria, you’ll know it was a done deal. It looks like the Ukrainian government was recently scammed with a phony deal to build an LNG terminal. Some think the Russians were behind that.
Is that the USSR or the USSA?
I see. So HillBilly’s public chatter is partially cover for behind the scenes wrangling and partially a way to try and corner Russia into a better bargaining position???
Very sharp analysis Meatloaf.
Who is “RT”?
This maroon can’t even get her husband to keep his johnson in his pants.
Russia slowly closes the door and then breaks out laughing, glad that we Americans are stupid enough to put a woman like her in a position of power.
Then why the F*** did Hillary surrender the Cold War and ask for a “reset”?
They are behind the Soviet Reunion. USSR2. USSRII. The USSA even.
Bunch of bullstalin if you ask me.
Mission Accomplished.
1968 Communist Libtards Baby Boom Children are in charge and our nation (and the world) is f***ed.
Well and truly!
New (or reborn) Russian Empire.
Not the same. Dear God I hope someone at the State Department knows the difference.
Thanks! The Russian Television channel. It’s on satellite.
ROTFLMOL. Calling 1980’s to get their policy back? IIRC Barry ridiculed Romney for even mentioning the Soviet Union.
Now, they would have us believe that they finally understand the threat? Just proves what liars they are and how dumb they think we are.
Wow....she’s REALLY REALLY TOUGH, isn’t she???
Don’ mess wif her... Dat’s like almost Presidential, or sumpin....
(what a Worthless dyke)
I just read a commentary in a European paper warning that the world is seeing the return of Communism (in a new ‘enlightened’ form, of course), and Russia wasn’t even mentioned.
This fatso can’t even get her girdle on and she’s the Secretary of STEAK!
Rice will be an excellent choice as she doesn’t need a girdle but knows jack about matters of state.
