Following that topic, there is an interesting comment from the Pravda: USA does not have a vestige of respect for Russia. I could have written the same article, 25 years ago when I left America. The US decisons'makers, only care for themselves, they don't respect anyone. They are obsessed with power, have a cash-register instead of brain and don't even give a **** about their own people. For those every human has a price, then can be bought and manipulated. What they do with the kyrgyzs, they have done it with ukrainians, georgians, britishs, frenchs, mexicans etc. etc. The funniest part of all is that their money is worth nothing and that their strategy works only on bluff or blackmail... We must admire the result and not be surprised if many russians fell for it...As I see it, Russian leaders have the opportunity to stop that US hegemonical arrogance and initiate a new Word-order; which is something America want to avoid at all costs. Conequently Obama and co. use the carrots and sticks'tactic in such an obvious manner that it should not fool anyone, excepted very naïve persons. The time has come to put a mankind governance's audit on the table; tell the true facts and have the culprits in front of their responsabilities. Radical changes are needed and there is no more time for costly, diplomatic furbery and admiration before that ridiculous "Barnum-Obama-Circus' show". Sorry Future Generations and Thank You Internet for giving a chance to reestablish some kind of counterballance. Sincerely. Jean-Claude Meslin
