Kremlin hits back as West seeks to isolate Russia
afp.google.com — Putin's spokesman warned against trying to isolate Moscow as punishment for Russia's decision to recognise Abkhazian and South Ossetian as independent nations. "Any attempts to jeopardise this atmosphere of cooperation... would not only have a negative impact for Russia but will harm the economic interests of those states," Peskov said.

- Minarchian, on 08/28/2008, -0/+14I'm wondering if Bush is trying to push Russia into some kind of military confrontation in order to attempt to galvanize Americans.
Whatever reasons Bush & Co come up with we already know him to be among the worse liars ever to disgrace the White House. So there's no reason to believe any reason he may come up with.- caferrell, on 08/28/2008, -0/+7In fact, we can say with certainty before Dana Perino ever opens her lovely little mouth, that what emanates from therein will be lies.

- damack, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1I'm not so sure about that starting another arms race for America would be a disaster the economy is in meltdown mode the last thing you can afford is to ignore the economic hardships in favour of investing in weapons you can't afford.
Surely starting a weapons race with nations like China and Russia would see them winning out overwhelmingly in the coming decades while they rise in power while their opponents drown in obscurity - Hangly, on 08/29/2008, -0/+1ding ding ding.

- caferrell, on 08/28/2008, -0/+6Actually, I don't think that Dubya is considering war. I fear that he is so divorced from reality that he thinks that when he demands and threatens that Russia back down, that Putin will look at the incredible power of the 'Merican armed forshes and back down.
McCain is a different story. He does want war with Russia and knows that if we push Putin he will push back. He scares me more than Dubya.
But that is NOT a reason to vote for Obama

Bush, Cheney and the neocons that are groveling at their crotches have become so arrogant and so all powerful in their own minds they actually believe countries like Russia are afraid of Mercas mill-tary. I get the feeling that Russia will be the one to stand up to the bully and smash his nose to a bloody pulp.
.........and he's bad, bad Leroy Brown....baddest man in the whole damn town.........

- slavix, on 08/28/2008, -0/+5Everyone who wants to understand what is going in this conflict needs get some info outside the western corporate media! They are misinforming the public about the whole thing.
Please watch this interview Putin gave to CNN, of which CNN chose to show just a few clips.
