  1. Timothys assessment of the Libya situation was not correct
  2. Often Russian media commentary is spot-on. This nails it it. english.pravda.ru/opinion/column…
  3. edition.cnn.com/2012/03/30/wor… true Russophobic in the comments. Kindergarten
  4. If you want to know what is really going on in Russia stop reading Western press reports. A five year old knows as much.
  5. He was critical in the immediate post soviet collapse allowing the New Russia to happen.Most countries would have fallen apart
  6. You won't read that on CNN or the BBC because they do not know.
  7. The man was the only respected link between the old soviet guard and the New democratic Russia. No one else filled this role.
  8. Full of jingoistic clap trap, a knee jerk reaction based on Russophobic paranoia andnot announce of fact.
  9. I just read the news on the death of an ex Soviet Security chief. What is interesting as well as alarming are the CNN reader comments.
  10. You figure it out
  11. Where does the money go when it gets to China Mr Romney. Kindergaftens? Environmental clean up. No. Missiles, ships and other weapons.
  12. The irony is his generation fought communism in Vietnam now he supports the PLA by boosting etch a sketch sales, now made in china
  13. Just imagine how the US plenipotentiary feels in Moscow after one of these assess opens their mouths back home. Cringingly embarrassing.
  14. The world has changed old man, get out of politics before you start another war.
  15. Where have you been the last 25 years? Watching National Geographic specials on the Soviet Union? Go run a donut shop and do us a favour.
  16. Bet he drives a 60s 70s muscle car and goes to nostalgia concerts...wake up! You sold out to China. There's your no1 foe. Communist China!!
  17. It is so frustrating to see these old hack boomers rant about a country they have absolutely no knowledge about, what a 2012 embarrassment
  18. If that is the worldly extent of an American presidential hopeful, I would say the biggest foe is American ignorance not a foreign country
  19. My,my...what an out-of-touch, ill informed ass Mr. Romney has shown himself to be. Laughable but sadly some ivy league nerd advised him.
