BUGAJSKI: Medvedev's wider Europe

ksozhalenyiou, most people in medvedev's russia will curtail their political freedom and financial stability in order to guarantee a government that will protect them from a more predatory liberal jewish mafia elite. maybe somebody like medvedev should run against obama, the black stooge who is determined to help liberal jewry in america get away with another 4 or 8 years of crimes. imagine what america's major cities would be without the stranglehold of the liberal jewish mafia? remember what new york city was like under the cavalier rule of sophisticated waspy dilettantes. oh for those dilettantish days of yore! now, after sixty years of THEIR misrule, new york city is an unliveable place for all except the liberal jewish elite and their eurotrash/asiatrash friends who can join them in watching the victims struggle by with their sordid lives. remember what new york city shools were like before the united federation of liberal jewish teachers guaranteed the rights of their blackstooge thugs to disrupt classes and terrorize studious classmates and their teachers? remember what the arts and entertainment were like before "geniuses" like smell brookes took over and replaced wit with jokes about bodily functions? so, yeah, there's a lot cities like new york, for one, owe the liberal jewish elite. hopefully, nyu and columbia will soon be offering phds in hip hop kulchur and barbara streisand can come get an honorary degree in between nose jobs. if madonna's brother can publish a memoir, there's no telling what depths new york and other american capitals will sound under the rule of liberal jewry.

This could be termed dysfunctional multilateralist entropy. Although there is global consensus through the U.N. it is has been role of the U.S. to provide compliance. Recent events causing the U.S. anti-Americanism both globally and internally, have forced a recession in U.S. global primacy. This recession leaves the compliance segment of the agreement equation to the regional powers and their interests (the dysfunctionality of multilateralism), i.e. Russia, China, and the U.S. with Southwest Asia, South America and Africa up for grabs. Iran is challenging and so is Venezuela. Where the U.S. used to influence, Russia is moving in, politically, economically and eventually militarily. The same in Asia, like a vacuum being filled. Where issues will start emerging is where these regions come in contact, politically and economically as well as the vulnerable areas of expansion (Southwest Asia, South American and Africa). Because of energy, the EU is vulnerable and should seriously start looking at alternative sources. Asia will remain stable as long as China has to depend on outside energy sources and does not achieve military parity with the U.S. Chavez needs containment and he will eventually phase out, however, the U.S. really needs to change its policies toward South America. That will not change until we can get free of our energy constraints. Drilling off ANWR and the coasts is the first step. The next step is to plan and transition to an energy source that makes us independent, a source with the same potential energy and utility as carbon. Work jointly with the EU and other democracies or sell it to them and cut the power of the regional influences.

Just a couple of comments: - Listening to Medvedev I have never had an impression that he (or his colleagues) are stupid and evil to the point to dream of Europe as of "an appendage of the Russian sphere" - the words he repeats over and over are EQUALTY and Respect. If the author reverses his argument and says that the US has always targeted to make Russia an appendage of the American sphere - he will get exactly what the Russian political elite truely beleives in and it is trying to do its utmost to prevent it to happen.. - Russians do not see "EU's democratization agenda as a pernicious ploy to undercut Russia's policy of maintaining pliable governments in neighboring post-Soviet states" - they simply do not beleive that the purpose of the West politics in Georgia and Ukraine is democratization - because they clearly see how the West turns its blind eye to the Georgian political repressions and power abuses for instance - just for the sake to keep in Georgia the current government - simply because it supports NATO. Russians simply do not beleive that you sincerely promote democracy rather then your military and political influence, and you give them a lot of evidence that they are right - why do you presume that entering NATO makes countries more democratic??? what is the logical link between the two?? Is it the only way to democracy that human kind was able to create? And if so, why did NATO members silently refuse to accept Russia when Eltzin and then - Putin made such proposals? - Your whole article is based on the presumption that Russia is the enemy of the EU - and it is not true. Russia is simply struggling for its influence in Eurasia - not more and probably less - than the US, who, btw, are located on a different continent - unlike Russia ;)

The problem with Russia is that it has, for good reason, no, or very little, credibility with many countries. Without trust the only way Russia can increase its influence is by hostile, aggressive and treacherous behavior. The countries and nations that have suffered and continue to suffer from Russian domination should create their own union in opposition to Russia, at least until Russia becomes democratic and respects humanitarian values. Those countries that have not suffered should take note of Russia's history of hostile, aggressive and treacherous behavior and should support those countries that did suffer until Russia becomes democratic and respects humanitarian values. While there are countries that have previously committed their own crimes against other countries many of them have since ceased to do so and are now democratic and respect humanitarian values. The transformation distinguishes them from present Russia.
