The US Vice President’s harsh statements about Russia are his own, not a preplanned move by the White House, says political analyst Ivan Eland.
The Vice President told the Wall Street Journal that Russia's economy is “withering”, and said that Russia's internal problems will force it to make concessions with the West.

The US Army: now recruiting racistsSay the wrong thing on Facebook or MySpace and you could lose your job – if you are a civilian. However, many white supremacists in the US military seem to have little fear regarding their online conduct. |

Children to be used to test swine flu vaccine?Around 12,000 US children, some of them as young as 3 years old, are reportedly going to receive untested shots of a swine flu vaccine, says investigative journalist Wayne Madsen. |
Biden is just warming the air. If the American missiles appear in Poland that's it for the reset. If the missile deployment doesn't take place the vacuum created allows for a real adjustment of relations. All of Europe will now the truth by Christmas. Obama is likely to triangulate his policy with the anti Russian lobby in the Senate at a vertex. Destroying his support in Europe. He talks the talk but will not walk the walk. Political reaction and his desire for reelection will stop him in his tracks.
Dear Count Cash, I couldn't agree more. A spot-on assessment of what is really going on. Speaking of NGO's this is, of course, where the real dirty work goes on "under cover". I remember seeing Kasparov being arrested after he and a few others tried to illegally march down Tverskaya to Red Square. The foreign press denounced Russia's democracy. They time and time again made no mention of the legal gathering at Pushkinskaya that day. No. Just focus on confrontation and make no mention that what they were doing on Tverskaya was not sanctioned by the authorities. Close Tverskaya for some marchers and you will have gridlock, on a Saturday......traffic chaos guaranteed. Kasparov got a very tiny fine by the way, something the Western press totally did not report. Oh, and if I am to believe Western media about lack of democracy could they please explain how it was I regularly saw peaceful protests in central Moscow, citizens exercising their rights and liberties under The Constitution of The Russia Federation ( for the BBC and Sky News, it's best not to report this kind of thing.After all, it might give people the right impression) Funny, the whole time I was in Russia I never once heard a Russian complaining about lack of freedom or democracy. Not once. It was always a foreigner. Where I come from, a democracy by the way, if I got a whole lot of marchers together to block a busy city street without a permit...I would be arrested. It's called civil unrest and stopping people going about their daily business. Yet no one calls my country undemocratic. Mr Cash is right, foreign "organizations" feed money to domestic trouble makers in the hope that they can do some damage to Russia's stability. Fortunately Russians are smart and ignore them for the most part. They see them for what they are, Trouble Makers. Michael Hockney
Wow, Biden and Obama are such an embarrassment to the United States. I think the U.S. and Russia would get along a lot better if we just stopped electing anyone to our government for a while. The people who run just want power. Power hungry people seem to thrive off of generating conflict so they can demonstrate a victory. Real Americans help fellow humans and just want to live without conflict.
