The Russian Foreign Ministry has fiercely criticized the US State Department report on Human Rights and suggested that they comment on “tortures” and “humiliation” within their own country.

Very often the US State Department behaves like a New World Order Department. Human rights issue is only one, but probably the most notorious example. Instead of lecturing others, the Department should really take a look at the millions of foreign refugees that their latest military adventures had created, e.g. they can do something about 2 millions of Iraqi refugees whose basic human rights had been definitely neglected. Talking is cheap, the Department would need to put money where the mouth is if they want to be a moral (or any ) authority in this area.

BRAVO, BRAVO, THANK You, it was about time for official response, hundreds of thousands their own citizens have complained but their voices are ignored! How different are Adolf's concentration camps, Stalin's gulags and Nobel "peace" prize winners public and secret gulags in the "democracies" of new Yuropa?

Human rights peremptory opus is designed to format political dolls as “moral professionals”. Nothing is more obsolete to attack the structure of Russian Foreign Ministry! Generally the problem of preemptive dogma is – you note your mistake only in the stage when is too late – and fall victim of the own delusion before merciless feet of laughing kabala. The thing you miss is – Stalingrad experiences…the treasury of Russian FM.

..."The State Department annual survey on human rights, issued Thursday, blamed Russia for corruption in law enforcement, “weakened freedom of expression and media independence” and said 2009 was marked by “numerous reports of governmental and societal human rights problems and abuses.” It also said local government and insurgents in Russia’s Caucasus were reportedly “engaged in killings, torture, abuse, violence, politically-motivated abductions, and other brutal or humiliating treatment”.... Hey I'm sorry, I really love Russia, but what this survey says is of course true...

Finally glad to see us responding properly, instead of the usual keep our mouth shut and don't criticise others. The world expects us to speak, so let's start speaking out clearly about the western illegal invasions, tortures and rapes. If we don't speak up for people against western colonialism, against oppression of American people themselves by their own controllers, who else will!

Agreed, we should not throw stones in a glass house. However, to give the State Department a little leeway, this report has probably been in various committees for the past five years while it was re-written about twenty times. Getting something like this published out of US Gov is a major achievement (scary!). The report probably reflects the directives of the previous administration, with a veneer overlaid from the Obama administration. If it had been published under the old regime, it may have sounded even more rude.

Fortunately the briefest World Order is ending with the Evil USA on its helm by suppressing its citizens and stripping them from their basic human rights and throwing them as disposables in the gulags to die a miserable death because they cannot afford health care insurance unlike any other civilised country in the World. If The State Department annual survey on human rights included USA they would have run out of paper to print their own draconian regime inflicted on their own citizens. This is the most extreme hypocritical department that exists in today

The self proclaimed lighthouse of democracy and human rights gave itself the right to make remarks on everybody. Will anybody care? If Iran made a moral analysis of American or European societies, would they care? Of course not. Different cultures care about different values. Americans just don't get it. Or they don't want to.

If any-one looks through the whole American history; it is a fact that human rights have always been forgotten. The country was build by stealing and killing two millions Indians. Then the rules of the strongest was established. To impose that rule a huge military power had to be build with the indirect help of Germany and Japan. Consequently, since 1949, to force its way up when challenged by the Soviet-Union, America created a climat of fear and insecurity; then became the initiator and first user of all WMD (weapons of mass-destruction) available now. This insanity has costed to Humanity, over 60 trillions $ in 60 years and keep on costing the same amount or more because N-PiPO has even increased the US 2010 military budget. Conclusion: In whole mankind history, the USA have been the biggest bluff and the most deceitful system ever imagined. Sorry Future Generations ! Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin

Americans and Isreal. I could write and book on this subject. Things have to change. If you have noticed, regardless of the historical stupidity of American State Department, there has been a progressive serries of public warnings to the radicals in Isreal. Maybe the Russians taught Americans this approach. Since usually Americans take zero action or make total over reaction. Hill Clinton is kind of a dumb girl, in my view. I think she is coppying Russian diplomatic patterns. What is the next warning to Isreal, like Regan -- Get out of Lebanon or well cut off all your $ off?

State Department Annual Report on Human Rights? Give me a break! The highest criminals in the world teaching human rights to humans. I would just laugh it off. Anybody who still believes in any the self-righteous words emanating either from Washington or Tel-Aviv is a dupe and needs to be enlightened. The sooner they are enlightened, the sooner they will be liberated. So it behooves on those have reached the truth through arduously following the imperialist camouflaged road to expose these most egregious defrauders of history. Enlighten!

Funny to see all of these people defend Russia when it comes to human rights…ha ha ha!!! Any time a Russian journalist (or anyone actually) speaks out against the Russian government, the President or its Prime Minister that person ends up in jail, dead or just missing… Wishful thinking…..anyone viewing this brief (to include many Russians) is nothing but BS….lol

Nuta. In the previous comments, nobody defend Russia; they just describe American actions. Perhaps, should you go back to school and take English and American history course. Guess what your media and politicians will say if Russia, in Georgia or China, in Tibet will behave as the US-NATO consorcium does in Afghanistan and Iraq. In that analysis, we could go back as far as 1973 in Chili. Since the Nazis and the Stalinism, no nation has done more damages to Humanity than the USA. I am sorry to tell you that; but it is the facts. Beside American teach their Israelis and British friends to act as they do and protect countless dictators through the World. As a respected leader, your country has really missed her vocation. As far as I am concerned, when living in the Seattle era during 21 years I have meet so many good peoples. Conclusion: Why do you have such a stupid politic and politicians (France is not better, but luckily, she is insignificant)...Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin
