Who would you suggest Russia sign trade pacts with? Give me 10 countries that would please you, and 10 countries that would not be seen as competing with the U.S. for trade. And 10 countries with enought GDP to matter. Let's see if you can do it.

Who would you suggest Russia sign trade pacts with?

I don't care what countries Russia signs trade pacts with as a matter of trade competition with the US. If Russia is signing a pact with Iraq either Russia is getting it's money up front, Russia knows something that you and I don't know, or Russia is just trying to get up in our face.

Maybe the US should recognize and open relations with Chechenya.
