Hope we can be friends with Russia. I've always thought that there was no reason for the US and Russia to hate each other so much. We have more in common, than we have differences.
I respect Russia. I think Russia respects the new Obama Administration's open attitude.
Here's to hoping we become good friends. *grabs a bottle of russian vodka* Cheers!
America and Russia as allies and eventually friends I hope... If it might be archived by letting them join NATO... What are we waiting for... I thought Putin was on the record for not wanting to be part of NATO.. If Putin does not ask again because he was rejected... Than the US should ask them two... ASAP...
Putin suggests Russia might join NATO Acting president says his country must avoid being isolated. - Newser You see in the March elections of around 2000 Putin wanted to join NATO. He continued to push for Russian membership into NATO until about 2005, because he got rejected for whatever reasons.
If you still want to doubt me, I'll check my bookmarks for you. I need to go to bed now tho.
Here is a quote from the article in The Independent (UK) you refer to.
...
Asked whether Russia could join NATO, Putin told British Broadcasting Corp. interviewer Sir David Frost: "I don't see why not. I wouldn't rule out such a possibility. But I repeat - if and when Russia's views are taken into account as an equal partner."
TIME: What is NATO's purpose today? If Russia were invited to join would it do so?
PUTIN: "Russia has no intention of joining military-political blocs because that would be tantamount to restricting its sovereignty. But we want to have good relations, both with the U.S. and with other countries, including NATO countries".
Repeating Quotes from Putin and remembering what I read isn't that hard. NATO even has a document all about Russia on their site with a lot of stuff about Putin. Check it out or shut the fuck up. This isn't a fucking debate.
Russia may have at one time Applied for NATO... I've looked on NATO site and must have missed it... I think the point is they no longer act like there interested in joining... Whatever the case we should invite them and make them feel they would be welcome to join, and there issues will be heard as well as ours... the past is somewhat irrelevant at this point...Cheers
i do not really believe in this extent of US-Russia friendship. still, i am sure Obama's administration will carry out much smarter and respectful diplomacy to Russia than bushmen did. and with mutual will no clashes of interests will complicate US-Russia existence.
This is good news! US and Russia can work together. The first step in this relationship is for the US to mind its own business and stop pointing missiles at Russia. NATO is also a problem.
How is it possible to be so FUCKIN' DUMB and STUPID not to understand that Iskander missiles is only a RESPONCE to missiles in Poland and radar in Czech Republic. If US will not build it, there is NO NEED FOR ISKANDER in Kaliningrad.
But, as we all know, Americans have very "exclusive" logic, and they can't understand OBVIOUS things. Or they don't want... Crazy nation..
There are many Americans like myself who are intelligent and informed what is going on in the world. Your constant arrogant and obnoxious comments show that you have some kind of superiority complex. Get over yourself igor.
"There are many Americans like myself who are intelligent and informed"
I think you agree that it is MINORITY. I don't want to write every time "majority of Americans are ...". And practically always I mean not usual Americans, but US leadership and administration. But again, I don't want to write it every time, because it's only 500 charactes in comment))
There is stupidity and ignorance in every region in this world. I can say that because I have visited many parts of the worls as a tourist igor. The main point is I feel and wish that Russia and the US should become closer allies. The Average American ( and I am sure Russian as well ) wants peace and stability, not another cold war.
this video is old. Russia can not be usa:s friend until usa close the missildefense in europe.

Well, we could've solved this in around 2005 I believe when Putin sent an application to join NATO.
iGadsden 3 years ago
I don't think Putin ever formally applied to join NATO. You are mistaken.
slavixtube 3 years ago
No I'm not he sent some sort of application for NATO during 2005. Check me out on it if you want. It's obvious why he was denied tho.
iGadsden 3 years ago
I have looked and did not find any such application. Like I said. I think you are mistaken. Please provide basis for your claim.

Why did Russia give away Georgia?
How much moore land do you think Russia will give away to the USA?
Is Russia having a sale?
Because I am ready to bet someone 1 US dollar that by the year 2012 Russia will give away some moore land.
