i think i have a comment
It is simply very, very astonishing how the analysts of so called west consider the Russian politicians retarded. They think that Russia is a retarded country, and that G. W. Bush is an example of a brilliant mind.
Sometimes seams to me that they think that by writing crap `analyzes` in which they apparently glorify Putin's policy, and all that packed with very wrong and misleading advices, they would suborn Russia into wrong decisions.
In typical articles of this kind these `analysts write:
`Putin is a good man... `
`Putin is a righteous man....`
`Putin is a man of right decisions...`
`He will not let Russia shamed over Kosovo.... He will react...`
and then come `advices`:
`He will cut the gas to Western Europe`, or
`He will recognize breakaway provinces of Georgia and Azerbaijan` or
All these crap advices ill-wish `advices` usually come with crap statements like:
`just as in Afghanistan, in Iran too Moscow’s interests are in line those of Washington.`, or
`Russia, on the other hand, has natural conflicts built-in with Iran`, or
`The Serbs left the province and NATO moved in... To the Russians, it was the ultimate slap in the face.`, or
`US and EU sided with Muslims` etc...
After all, who gives a **** about Putin. He is just one politician but, so called west want to make Putin even more important then he is important in Russia. So called west hardly can accept that Russian society evolve.
One could at least understand (if not agree with) this simplistic approach if we were facing the world in which the so called West were going well and Russia were going down.
But in fact it is the opposite! Russia's economy is increasing by 7% annually, and at the same time Russia's monetary reserves are the third largest in the world. Russia's influence in the whole world is increasing and Russia becoming respected today in great majority of different countries with different cultures, religions.
On the other side, it is the so called West whose power is fading day by day and even the blind see this! USA have debt of 9000 billion $ and it looks like that they think the only way for them to repay this debt is to start WW3.
But the whole world see them! The whole world now well understand their actions! People are in fear and not from Russia or China, or from Muslims but from possible actions of USA, NATO, EU. Everything is possible in world of disorder, world of THEIR order
So, this `analyst` can stick his advices in his *** (some place behind).
I do believe that new Russia, directed by Pro-Slavic elite shall not betray Iran nor Muslim countries! Russia as all other Slavs, considering Slavic long and continual historical expiriance, should show respect for other civilizations, for their unique path. Also, neither should Russia betray Serbs, in time of their need! Nor Russia, nor other Slavs. That`s the Slavic way.
There is the article which is object of my comment, which after all gave some good remarks, no matter absolutely simplistic approach of author...
