"So when they criticize us we usually feel that we are on the right way. "

That's a risky way of thinking cause it only makes you (normal citizens) take and swallow whatever it is served to you without any questions.
You like to use so much the word "West" as the source of all evils, ever wondered why countries which are definetly not the "West", Georgia or let's say Estonia don't want to have to deal with you anymore? Ever woundered why the east-europeans, which can be maybe the only ones that can truly understand russians (given the more or less forced common conditions in the last half of century), are now the most reluctant towards Russia (not people)? It can't be only evrybodyelse's fault in doing what they want with their destiny, isn't it?

Yes, I heard of the ukrainian minister, it's of course in what regards Romania not true but simply propagandistic, but also it's understandable in a way, it's not an easy period for them at all.

As for Rep of Moldova, it does not matter what YOU think, but what THEY think, of course not the couple of hundred thousand dead ones that "voted". Because of Russia's stance on the matter, don't be surpised in some time if they will, from past rusophile, become rusophobic of the worst kind.

Here you again ! Without you we never know what to do next. Thank you for the advice ! The problem is that too many people use words “should” and “must” after the word “Russia” and all of them offer us quite different things. We just don’t know who to obey and this is why we have to decide by ourselves… with our poor brains … For instance we believe that Moldovans are free to do whatever want and they are not happy to become second rate Romanians.

Hand of Moscow,

Russia should allow the 6 countries which are part of the Eastern Partnership to develop closer ties with the EU if these countries wish.

Also, Russia should stop interfering in Moldova.

"Ukrainians as a nation were invented in 1997 in Austria"


Sorry for the misprint - it was way back in 1897 when a Russian nationalist whose name escaped my memory while living on the occupied Russian territories for the first time in the history used Ukraine not as a geographical but ethnical meaning of the world. Before that the Poles and the Russians called the territories on their borders as UKRAINA i.e. at the edge. Moreover the Poles called UKRAINA to mark other territories on their borders including those in Germany.

Hi Joe !

You know that none of us two is a dove of peace but this time I am really surprised with your comment. I have never offered anything of the kind concerning Ukraine. It must be one of the CNN ducks cause nobody in Russia can even imagine that we can arrange here another civil war. As you must know Ukrainians as a nation were invented in 1997 in Austria. Before that nobody dared to call them anything but Russians. Later in 1922 the Communists went on the job and started to explain the Russians living in the South that since then on they are to call themselves Ukrainians. So how can I back for a war against pure Russians ? Even in Kiev City outside state institutions you will not hear any other speech but Russian.

As for the rest of your comment you continue to surprise me by believing in everything they say. I am skeptic enough about the Russian propaganda and I am triple skeptic about yours. We have been trusting in those democratic , liberal , humanitarian and other slogans for too long before we found ourselves at the edge and before we started to understand that those were propaganda tricks to cover the real politics aimed to destroy and conquer us. Since then we are demonized again. NATO as the military tool of the West’s domination needs Russia as the only real goal of it’s existence.
We are the most peaceful side but we aren’t going to sacrifice our freedom. Only if we face such a choice we shall chose war. In any other case we back for peace cause we know the price of peace better than any other nation. And we are able to keep peace on our borders whatever they do with EU carrots for our neighbors. NATO won’t take the risk to clash us for any of those 6 states and we know that. Besides we can always feel the breath of the US behind EU. They are too big cowards to dare the politics they conduct after 08.08.08 …

Hi Adrian ! Glad that you are not Mircea and you try give argumentations but not only slogans … You know during the last two decades we have been deceived by the West so many times that we no longer trust them. So when they criticize us we usually feel that we are on the right way. Now tell me who is to be blamed for such a reaction ?

We have enough mirrors here and I have never voted Medveputin not because of their foreign policy which I totally approve but because of what they are doing in our economics. They have risen an offshore elite with offshore economy. Inside the country we dislike quite different things from what we are attacked in the West.

We are also careful enough about China but because of EU/US hatred and hypocrisy we have to move eastward. Tell me who is to be blamed and which side is to lose China or the West ? By the way d’you know that last night Ukraine has declared Romania and Russia as potential military rivals ?

Cheers !

Each country is sovereign and has a right to enter into any kind of economic agreement with any other country based on mutual benefit.Russia seems to be looking for a fight or just prefers dealing with each country individually as opposed to the collective economic negotiating power of the entire EU but nobody in the EU is stupid enough not to realize the benefit of working together with Russia far outweighs the cost.Some politicians in the Ukraine must be really stupid to insist on terms so ridiculous that Russia prefers spending billions of dollars on new transit routes which may leave Ukraine with zero transit fees in the long run.As far as any military confrontation with the Russian bear is concerned any politician in the West who even for a second for whatever reason contemplates it should immediately check himself into an insane asylum.

Hand of Moscow,

I was pleasantly surprised by your latest message. This is by far the most pacifist. I remember an other posting of you not a long time ago when you treatened to incorpate some neighboring countries - including Ukraine - by force.
I had already the vision of thousands of Russian tanks rolling across wite plains into those countries.
As for some countries treatening you - nothing like that. You are a big and militarily strong country. Nobody would be foolish to attack you. The opposite is truth. For the last 16-18 years many Western countries want you to be part of the democratic world. They also accepted you in their club, which is now the G8.
As for those 6 ex-USSR countries show them more trust. If once a while they want to go out, have a good time like some young people do than let them go. Don't treat them if they would be all your brides prohibiting them to entertain with other people.

same blame game. I don't know why they have these summits, they could have these exchange of thoughts very easily via email and save some taxpayers money.

Hand of Moscow, somehow I agree with parts of what you wrote and I hate to break this to you, but Russia is a succesor state of the former atheist&communist Soviet Union, having spent 17 yrs first in an "let's see who steals more" era and then diving into a deep nationalistic hole.
The hand of Moscow should hold a mirror, look itself into it and then try to figure out why the so called "russophobia" exists.
Don't think that if China is not classified as russophobic, it means she's a friend.

Concerning the Ukraine the exchange was less diplomatic than B92 shows. J.M. Barroso asked if Russia can guarantee the stability of gas transit. Medvedev responded :” We are not going to guarantee anything. Those who have to pay for the gas must give you the guarantees…”

In general the talks were almost resultless cause both of the sides sticked to their old positions :

1.EU will go on violating all their promises concerning former USSR territories.

2.EU with US in the shadow will go on undermining Russia’s positions on our borders.

3.They will go on attacking and restricting us wherever they can demonizing us and exporting new problems.

4.Russia will accept the challenge and remain independent in the best meaning of the word.

5.Russia will blocking NABUCCO kind projects to remain the energy power number 1.

6.Russia will tie itself closer to the countries outside the Golden Billion which have no Russofobic ideology ... ect.ect.

So nothing will change. This is a positional war like in 1916-9118 … The result is easy to predict : EU will give up and accept the compromises we offer … then they will go on undermining Russia from behind. Within centuries nothing is changed.

Each country is sovereign and has a right to enter into any kind of economic agreement with any other country based on mutual benefit.Russia seems to be looking for a fight or just prefers dealing with each country individually as opposed to the collective economic negotiating power of the entire EU but nobody in the EU is stupid enough not to realize the benefit of working together with Russia far outweighs the cost.Some politicians in the Ukraine must be really stupid to insist on terms so ridiculous that Russia prefers spending billions of dollars on new transit routes which may leave Ukraine with zero transit fees in the long run.As far as any military confrontation with the Russian bear is concerned any politician in the West who even for a second for whatever reason contemplates it should immediately check himself into an insane asylum.
