Now, in heavens' name why would a country as smart as Russia want to trade their wealth for nothing more than poisons and technology ... AND, clearly, to the detriment of their nationals (people, natural resources, country's wealth, health and happiness, etc.)?! Every human being who can read as an earthling, now understands the whole sordid truth, THE agenda of every single GLOBAL ACRONYM cleverly concocted by the miscreants who think of these evil ideas in order to do what it is they have done for centuries: play Satan on earth. Jesus said something about not allowing the devil to tempt him - hence get behind, or something such as this. Russia, enough is enough now is it not? "Bolshevism from Moses to Lenin" ??? CAVAT EMPTOR!

What is the point of the WTO? When members of the WTO still organise free trade agreements amongst themselves... it has long been a goal of Russia to join, but then it has long been a goal of many members to keep Russia out. Foreign trade for Russia seems better served by country to country negotiations as they have been so far. The WTO will just create more ropes to tie up Russian national interest and benefit other WTO nations.
