I agree with you on Russia.We should look at these people as friends more than as the enemy.If we keep acting in such a manner ,they will agin be our enemy.But you know an empire is greedy & always wants to expand.The empire does things good for the empire & doesn't look at individual good.With this attidude they make bad decisions.All these decisions probably were from the council of foriegn relations.A bad group.Pat are you a member of this group?
