Give me a break russia has just now began to try and "work" if thats what you call it with the US over Iran and thats because europe and the US both were on the same side of this issue and put pressure on russia. Russia has been arming Iran and syria for years as well as north korea. Russia arms china not out of wanting to see the enemies ins and out. They do this like they do all their proxy dealing and its to buffer and blunt the US position.Yes they have caught a few spies for china but I know for a fact that the majority of the Duma hates the US and our position in the world. The russian government can go to hell the world would be better off without them.
You've read wrong.
Gazprom for instance is less that 37% state owned and even that portion is being liquidated as of January 1.
Bush has recently announced numerous coperative efforts with Russia regarding energy and intelligence. It's good that he's not as prone to heeding MSM propaganda as you are.
