Hay Dr.Mike, funny, unlike most countries, Russia has enjoyed an annual 6%+ growth rate...gee, maybe your info is about an election too old. Try looking around and finding out what a country's true economic barings are before posting CNN crap ideas. Russia has paid back half of its IMF debts+30% interest and has kicked the IMF out. Try again, bud.
And to the lot of you: Imagine that, Russia is an idependent nation with its own concerns and issues...sorry not every nations wants to be a US lacky lap dog like Britian.

O.K. S 2 I can imagine that Russia is an independent Country free of American Policy, I can also agree that bombing Christians in favor of Muslims in Serbia was a mistake that will cost us big time over the years. I also was in hopes that Russia & The USA could put apart our differences and become the allies that we both need. But Putin doesn't tell us what to do any more than we tell him what to do. Your Govt. is selling weapons to Terrorists that have it in for the U.S. and they ought not to be selling Nuclear weapons & the such to Iranians & the Iraqi's that's insane. If they did use these weapons on us, who do you think becomes the next target. Answer the next biggest guy on the block, Russia. Your Country is making the same mistakes we did with Iraq & Afghanistan. These people are Mad Dog killers that have one goal, the destruction of all Christian people and your country is defending them. Step back & take another look, is it worth a nuclear war to help these Bastards.

Yeah not every nation wants to have a real democracy and a real legal system and not be run by a KGB spook like Great Britain. Haha if every nation doesn't want to be Great Britain why is everybody from Portugal eastward trying to get there? They get more immigrants than they can handle.
There's too much of this Russia-hugging crap going on these days. It makes me want to vomit, it's like seeing dirty hippies in the 60s saying "The East is Red and the West is Ready!" Russia still has done virtually nothing to fix their flawed Cold War foreign policy.
I'm performance-oriented. My motto is "Show me." I like Russian people, but if I'm to pay any regard to that government I'd like to see them on freedom's side at least ONE D&MN TIME! We'll see...for now I'll play the optimist.
