Russia should simplify or eliminate visas for Americans! And vice versa, no American visa requirements for Russians. I've seen the Russian visa application, OUCH!

Europe is being constantly exposed to a perpetuate financial undermining from Wall Street. Americans simply want to create a mess elsewhere and so to relativize the extension of their own crisis and the motives for their action are understandable. Unfortunatelly, Europe does not possess affective regulatory mechanisms to repulse coordinated attacks from Washington and London and so Europe is on a steady course to become nothing but a dead financial corpse. Relying on European currency is a risky business nowdays. Germany is far from being a player that much powerfull that would save Euro. Jews that control France have already received a sign from Washington to stay calm while Europe is under attack. I am not sure about how Russia could help in this affair.

We are witnessing history in the making where few centuries old and archaic structure of ineficient system has managed to survive. That system is being burried forever.

First, RT some great camera work on reporting from this summit, I couldn't have portrayed my 'village' better if I did it myself. We have lots to offer down here and we should have the opportunity to develop in all areas including technology, and not just be the garden of Russia in terms of food production. Linking this region to the Skolkova hub alongside others centres is a must. But the real challenge for Russia is to take the good things on offer around the world and build them together into a feesible working system that suits Russia e.g. we need some of the US system mithout corporatocracy,bankism and military world hegemony, mixed with EU better social infrastructure and relaxed living environment, but without destructive benefitism (wealth distribution not on a need basis, but to equal things out - theft and corruption to keep people quiet and sterile, to buy their vote), defeatism through sterilising (in terms of human self sufficiency, the nanny state) and mass ill guided immigration to name a few. So Russia must fiercely keep its independence and develop its own course, Integrating more and more into the world community. But this integration should be as a strongly coercive unit with contingency, rather than a unit that has many undefined interfaces, such that political will and control are lost by our government, and instead pass to a small bunch of financial elite sitting remotely in financial houses around the world. There is a war going on, not with guns, but with finacial instruments. Debt, is the enabler of the modern occupation, it is a tool, that has been scaled, because of its proven historical control over a single debtor, to whole nations. Russia needs to be careful that it can withstand primary attack, by controlling debt and investment trojans, but also secondary attack on economies it is closely dependent on. Russia needs an individually tailored optimised highly cohesive defensive system with international diversity.

Norman, maybe you never looked at the USA visa requirements..... In any case the article was talking about the EU-Russia visa issue, not the US. I believe Russia-EU visa simplification would help business greatly, but the EU is not 1 , it is a many-faces group; therefore very difficult to deal with as each Country goes on it's own. Tha is why Vladimir (comment up here) is right (maybe too dramatic). The US has a easy task by splitting the EU decision-making in small components.... I feel sorry for the EU, but I guess this is our history.
