I really don't get the naive approach. Let's get it straight, the western bankers who control the western media have one goal and only one goal, the destruction of Russia and the control of its resources. Their daily task is simple, keep the western credit tax cattle cohesive with an external enemy, keep them working to pay the credit and tax and keep them thinking they have some say in matters. That is the role of the western media controlled by the western bankers. So you are really talking to a brick wall with this naive approach of trying to persuade them any differently. It is silly and naive to think you will ever change their mind. For their mind is already set on the destruction of Russia, so don't expect them to put down their media toolbox in their quest. You can talk, but they will never listen, so why continually waste the effort. Talk to the western countries direct that want a partnership with Russia. The bankers don't and never will. There is no pally pally with the west as a block while the bankers control, for they hold the knife clenched behind their back and keep advancing slowly with a fistfull of missiles and a Nato backpack. So Russia needs just build economically and militarily all the time, reaching out to the rest of the world and non western banker controlled states in a multipolar bilateral fashion. The last thing we should become is a western banker vassal state. As part of this we must stop the persuading and stand up strong, stop trying to be part of things western and start to be apart from things western until the bankers can be forced from control. A strong Russia standing on its feet dealing with the west as a hostile block on an equal footing is the way we need to go. Until they can reform, if ever they can and move away from their anti Russian core values. That doesn't mean war, aggression or ill feeling, it means being us, and stop trying to please, persuade and concede hoping that the leopard will change its spots.

Count Cash is right! RUSSIA you must stand up to the WEST for the sake of world peace!! Obama is NOT a man of peace but a "mouthpiece" and the frontman for those who actually control the USA and it is NOT the little people. It's the crooks in business like Soros and crooks in Congress like Representative Charlie Rangel...a REAL supporter of fellow Democrat Obama.

Although we have a Government in the UK that is not particularly 'friendly' towards Russia, you will find that most of the ordinary people have a respect for Russia, particularly the many upheavals the Russian people have had to endure in the past. Also, just because our Government may be 'in bed' with the US doesn't mean that the ordinary UK citizen supports everything that the US does - far from it in fact. Because of the above, and also because the British tend to be a bit more sceptical about what they see and read in the media, I can assure you that at least everyone I know is aware that there is more than one side to this issue and it was initially badly reported. It was also obvious that when the shooting started all, not just part, of the blame would be put on Russia. The old US administration may have been playing their 'great game' in Georgia (and I am thankful that Russia didn't shoot down the troop planes carrying Geogian soldiers dressed in US uniforms with US weapons - as I can only quess how that would have been reported!) however it looks like the new administration is no longer interested in (or can't afford to) 'contain Russia'. You should remember that Russia got the closest that they will ever get to an apology by the US in their offer to 'press the reset button'.

Russia has just to enforce its military and economic power and behave as a strong antagonist of the weastern world. Stop then with talking and behave no more as masochists. Italian reasonable people hate America. They are building up a new left party (Movimento di Liberazione Nazionale) which in the next months will destroy the neofascists and the bankers. The world is chanching deeply. Don't give up.

@Jim The British government is absolutely hostile training and supporting terrorism in Russia since the collapse of the USSR in 89 with SAS training Chechens in Turkey and using Princess Diana’s de-mining NGO front in the Czech Rep to train Chechen militants how to lay mines accompanied with pro-Chechen propaganda fake atrocity stories and hyper-inflated death tolls in fact it is the same stories and numbers they used against the Serbs in Yugoslavia during the 90's. They literally along with the US and EU and Middle East vassal states want to destroy Russia they admit this in there policy papers, books and NGO's I'm British and I can tell you like in the rest of Europe and North America the general public does not like Russia or Russians. It’s not that they were misinformed about the Georgia conflict they didn’t want to know the truth. And they didn’t have a problem with Chechen militants slaughtering school children in Beslan and filming it for distribution which was traced back partially to the Finsbury Park mosque in London an MI6 recruiting centre for Bosnian/Chechen militants. Or the fraudulent Litvenenko Plutonium smuggling affair who was an MI6 agent under the command of super mob boss Boris Berezovsky.
