Crap.World leadership or domination of ideaology?What is good for the goose,is not necessarily good for the gander.Looking at our western ideaology,most is coruption,and self centered policies.The only stability for the human race ,is getting rid of all our right wing self centered crap at the top in the west.whose agenda thru its grovelling media and broadcasters, is to bombarded the masses with ignorance and irrelevant crap.All nationalities have a common aim,is the betterment of ones family,and society,these principles you will not find in any western right wing,conservative govts.

No, Russia does not need to be part of the western colonial values, those of illegal invasion torture and rape in military terms and disterss to furnish interest to the financal elite in finacial terms. Yes there are common security threats of terrorism... But Russia does not need to abandon its vision of a world free of western colonial oppression to achieve common security objectives. Instead Russia needs to continue in a pragmatic way, dealing with NATO on common issues, whilst standindg distinct and apart on core values of international law and primacy of the UN in a multipolar world. Like a drowning man, NATO is trying to cling to Russia, to reach out to the one who can swim in this modern world. However, Russia understands fully that accepting the NATO grasp politically with its insipid corrupt moral values, would just facilitate its own death. Yes it is important to soft land NATO to prevent its overt violent treacherous nature breaking out again and killing Russia, but that has to be in a controlled rescue fashion. Far better to have NATO on the end of a towel in the water being pulled to safety, rather than pushing our head under water. NATO's game is simple, to destroy Russia, it is our number one threat. There is nothing displayed in ther deeds that lead to any other conclusion. They are attempting encirclement on a continual basis, they are trying to diminish Russia's detterent, they are trying on every occassion to forment local proxy conflicts with Russia, and to act against Russia's commericial inetersts in a concerted manner. These are the facts, these are the deeds from which we judge them. We know the west for their fine words and evil deeds. There will be no meetings of minds with NATO, until NATO accepts the just values of international law and sovereign self determination. Until such time NATO will be repugnant to Russia in every aspect. Yes, we will deal on security terms, but nothing else, and of course they will remain our main threat.

He is right. Now the most important commitment for both NATO, Russia and China is stability and order, something which can guarantee Trade routes and relations without problem. An stable Central Asia is the main goal for Russia, China and Europe as it would increase trade between China and Europe. Paradoxically the Taliban were much better establishing an stable Afghanistan without opium, as most opium farms were eradicated and drugs were banned. Now the situation is much worse and is destroying the lifes of thousands of Russians every year (and is arriving to Western Europe): robberies, AIDS, healdh and criminal problems with a very high human and financial cost for the Russian Federation. But a good relationship between Russia and NATO, even if not complete integration as it would mean the Russian Commander in Chief and Russia´s Nuclear Weapons under control from the American Commander in Chief. Only if the presente SACEUR Commander in Chief is rotatory, changing the Commander in Chief every four years (first an American, then one from the European Union, then one from the Russian Federation) instead of being always an American, Russia´s integration in NATO would be possible. A rotatory SACEUR Commander in Chief (American, European, Russian) should be the requirement for Russia´s NATO integration.

world leadership haha, first we got propaganda about democracy, while appointed few rule... I think leadership it would mean that everyone would vote on something that is not 1 party appointment system, look at the EU. It seems we vote for Zbig and Soros ... true leaders to hell. CC, the global police state that they have in mind means there is no sovereign except them, that means opposition is to be destroyed by all means. Dont think that ppl in NATO countries think nicely about this "alliance", although there is nice propaganda going on from time to time, that we need it, its good for everyone and to keep peace ... Regimes changed, propaganda from the older brother in the east changed to the friends in the west that came to help us from goodness of their hearts.

The number of the conflicts DECREASED since the end of Cold War? One really wonders at such people and their freedom to say any nonsense they choose. Far from it. The number of conflicts has increased dramatically, and the global security dangerously diminished. Instead of striving towards consensus through UN, the unilateralism has prevailed. Instead of working with UN, coallitions of the "willing" replaced the UN consensus. And on it goes. Security should be INDIVISIBLE, and should not be guaranteed only to those within blocks. That is what NATO does not want to understand. Now, every excuse is good enough for a military action. Once started, it spreads on neighboring countries and spreads instability. Drugs, terrorism, human trafficking, arms trafficking --- are all consequences of destabilized international security. National governments are weak and are made even weaker though little respect for their sovereignity. The result are failed states, and misery for millions of people. Not much to proud off.

Nato the UN military has always create the imagine as peacekeepers "Ah but wait a minute for since the time of the league of nation a formula was being develop to create the World order via many wars along the way. What democratic right is that when foreign nations go into any sovereign state and force it's leaders to be exile or force the groups that have join them to the execution of the leader of the country (such be the known case of Sadam). The deception of the UN and it,s military Nato will come to a peak as it is clear it has backfire in many country and now especially the United States. The mass,s sense it with this recruitment of billions of dollars spend on homeland security which by the way many Nato troops are offer a job as a law enforcement officer in exchange for a US passport and plus some. Now this false flag of Democracy seems to be slowly burning and only the ash,s of the past tragedies of war will be in some book of an historian. In the end the Central bankers will and still are the winners. Where is the french revolutionary,s today?
