Were Russia-US relations reset during President Obama's visit to Moscow? Wiill it help the Presidents work at the G8 summit? Watch RT's exclusive interview with the Russian President's Press Secretary, Natalya Timakova.
For the Empire there are "good and bad" democracies (and dictatorships) depending of course whether they are "with US or against US" FULL STOP!!
I don't think the Russian are stupid to make the same mistake they did befor.To listen or give any attention to the americans about the so colled democracy and human right, it is just silly the american has never practiced democracy or human right in their own country.what is democracy,human right in america ? CNN MEDIA?
There are no ideal democracies There are no democracies Demos Cratos {people, power- from Greek} means that that the decision making is in the hands of the people. There may be only one democracy and is the regime of Switzerland, where all parties participate in the government, where any citizen can collect the prescribed number of signatures for a “votation communal”, or cantonal or federal, where the people’s non professional army controls and participates in public services, where every canton {26 of them} has an integral government. Its constitution and the relevant institutions where copied by the first prime minister of Greece Capodistrias from ancient Athens. He also served as minster of foreign affairs for Russia. US has established about 20 dictatorships around the world {in Greece one of them} that practiced torture, suppressed human rights and imprisoned arbitrarily. When Palestinians have no rights and no state and are considered as citizens of “Israel” then “Israel” is the dictatorship of the Palestinian people. The country that practices even today the apartheid, lobbies dictate its policies, media are owned by multinationals…Jewish ones like CNN, N.Y. Times, Washington Post with licenses to spread lies, when you can avoid imprisonment by paying, then US has no right to talk about Democracy and human rights. Both “Israel” and U.S. use these terms, to provoke frustration in order to manipulate and assure obedience, like some teachers do to dominate in class.
The 'big' things about this summit, were the establishment of true dialogue and the abatement of hypocritical lecturing. These were the key, founding principles of the trajectory of future relationship development between the US and Russia. Was it all sincere on the part of Obama, well who knows, only time will tell. The important thing, is that we appear to be starting an open and frank dialogue, that can continue over time and hopefully deliver fruit. No one is under any illusions, trust takes a very long time to establish, think decades not years. However, we have to talk, it is the first baby steps, to getting to an adult relationship. Yes there will be many in the world, very upset at these developments, whose policy has always been to exploit differences between the US and Russia, and these will be a test of any new relationship. These troublesome states, like the UK and some bellicose east european nations, will be a test for the US to mange well, because they will at all costs try to derail things to maintain a beneficial position from any strife between Russia and the US.
