The body is meant to assure mediation between Congress and Russia's lower house of parliament.
Kucinich says Russia plays an important role in the major international issues, notably Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq.
“We should be getting Russia’s advice on Afghanistan. I mean if we listen to Russia on Afghanistan, we get out of it. Russia could help the United States in our dealing with Iran, in our policy in Iraq. Russia’s very important here. Russia’s important in energy policy. And Russia is absolutely essential in leading us towards a direction where we get rid of nuclear weapons. "

“Ukrainian president’s poisoning was falsified”The evidence of the 2004 poisoning of the Ukrainian President was falsified by high-ranking officials and Viktor Yushchenko’s family members, a representative of Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office has said. |
I like Dennis Kucinich, but it seems that, now that the USA is in trouble, they need help from the same people they were threatening. Last year the tone in the USA, even from Obama was much different. " Russia must pay" for what they did in Georgia. But now that they have no money, borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, they want trust between the 2 nations. I wonder if the same trust will still be wanted when they are in a viable economic position again, or are they giving beads away for land again. "We come in Peace - Shoot to Kill". Just like with China, US media and administration made serious threats and accusations against them. Now they need China so they can maintain their ridiculous budget. They are the Imperialist Regime, hidden behind a cloak of democracy. Rev12A
