My Russian friends, land of the Bear, a history of culture and wonderful people - Do not be fooled by "American's hand of friendship" It is all about "Seek and Destroy" and using Democracy a tool for "Devide and conquer" Be careful who you choose as friends. Remember, Russia is for the Russians and do it the way Russians do it. I am a South African and can see the evil that America brings with it.
