I wonder has Putin or Medvedev or Lavrov or any Russian leader at all ever asked this simple question: “What is Russia doing wrong?” Russia is surrounded by neighbours with whom it simply cannot get on. Whether it’s Japan or Ukraine, Finland or Moldova, Poland or Georgia or the Baltics, and now even Belarus – none of them can abide Russia’s behaviour. Let’s consider this logically: Japan is a very different kind of country with a very different kind of people than Estonia; Belarus differs vastly from Finland, Poland is entirely different to Georgia. The only common factor in their relations with Russia is Russia itself. It is Russia’s behaviour and its underlying attitudes and values that turn most of its neighbours right off. I’ve got a few suggestions about the elements of Russia’s behaviour that cause this uniform reaction amongst a very disparate group of nations, but it’s no use my knowing about it – Putin, Medvedev, Lavrov & co. have to discover it for themselves, only then will they believe it. One thing that ought to be crystal clear already to them, though, is that more of the same behaviour from them will produce only more of the same reactions from their neighbours. If cross-border truculence and distrust is not actually the aim of Russia’s foreign policy, then a smart leadership will actually change its behaviour. Occasionally Russian officialdom talks about changing Russia’s image abroad, but I have never heard any of them talk about changing the underlying Russian values and ethics of which Russia’s behaviour is the expression. Image change will not especially impress Russia’s neighbours; a change of substance will.

Once more, european NATO countries pushed by America must have made pledges than dollars were going to fall like a spring sudden chower over the belarussian population. Those peoples ignore that in such a case, like it has always happened everywhere-else, only corrupt-prostitutes decisions'makers are rewarded. This is one more proof that Mr Obama and mostly the creeps Gates and Clinton cannot be trusted...Will the russian leaders have the courage to talk frankly and firmly to those monsters when they will be in Moscow ? Russians and also the whole mankind' security, happyness and well-being depend on it. Please do not fall for the usual ballyhoo; do it; otherwise, Sorry Future Generations ! Sincerely.

Russia-Belarus relations going sour? To be expected?? "... Mainly because nature abhors a vacuum, and politics creates the most powerful social vacuums ever. When the USSR dissolved in 1991, opportunistic Jewish criminals took advantage of so many things that were up for grabs. They became the Jewish oligarchs, the Yukos-type billionaires about whom we hear so much these days, mostly when they get sent to prison or flee to Israel. These criminal types also swarmed into the newly independent nations like Belarus. Soon, Belarus, socially and economically, was going down the drain faster than Russia and the Ukraine. But, in 1994, a charismatic leader, Alexander Lukashenko, took over as the president for this nation of 10-million Whites. The Jews, who once made up about half of the population of the capital Minsk 100 years ago, now only compromise about 1.5% of the total population. And yet, with powerful American, British and Israeli Jews to help finance the looting of Belarus, the situation became critical. This was similar to Germany in a period known as the Weimar Republic in the 1920s. Back then, the Germans were destitute and the rich Jews from New York bought up entire parts of Germany for fractions of a penny on the dollar. A new understanding for how widespread these International Jews were had blossomed. The Jews were basically stealing all the wealth from Germany, and, by the early 1930s, virtually everyone in Germany knew that the Jews were responsible for causing so much misery in their nation. This awareness to Jewish organized crime is usually mislabeled as anti-Semitism. What ever you want to call it, a rose is still a rose and a thief is still a thief. When Alexander Lukashenko came to power, he decided that his country would not be looted by the wealthy Jewish oligarchs. He generated a degree of stability not seen in Russia or the Ukraine. Although Belarus has not yet experienced a great economic windfall that is presently occurring in Latvia, it does have a strong economy with a growth rate of 6.4%. The country is stable, with less than 2% unemployment, compared to over 10% unemployment in Germany, which also only has a 1% growth rate. ... continued: http://www.natvan.com/adv/2005/12-10-05.html

Lukashenko had a recent meeting with the Pope and finally seen the light. Don't be surprised Obama meets with him and he accepts AMD's

Uzbekistan has not signed the agreement, has it ?

I am more suprised that Kirgistan signed in than Uzbekistan signed out, also why Abkhazia and South Ossetia aren`t in this pact?
