ABOLISH NATO

Maybe that's hysteria, or maybe that's the way things are going. I know for certain Russia has every right to be upset with us over all our warmongering NATO expansionism and obviously threatening gestures.

Medvedev criticizes NATO exercise in Georgia

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized NATO's exercises in Georgia and pushed for a new trans-Atlantic security treaty in remarks broadcast Friday.

He said NATO's expansion eastward has created new divisions and hurt European security.

The United States, Canada, the European Union, NATO and alliances of ex-Soviet nations must take part in forging a new security pact, Medvedev said in an interview with Russian state television, fragments of which were broadcast Friday.

Russia and NATO recently started to improve ties frozen after Russia's war with Georgia in August, but tensions soared again over expulsions of diplomats and NATO exercises that began last week in Georgia.

"What's better: create a new security structure or hold military maneuvers in close vicinity proximity to the area which saw a military action less than a year ago?" he said.

Moscow has criticized NATO for taking former Soviet republics and satellites in Central and Eastern Europe as members, and has fiercely opposed the alliance's plan to include Russia's neighbors Georgia and Ukraine.

"NATO is getting bigger and security becomes fragmented," Medvedev said. "I don't think it can suit anyone, no matter what our partners say."

Medvedev first proposed to work out a new trans-Atlantic security pact in June, but the previous U.S. administration had ignored the offer.

President Barack Obama said after meeting with Medvedev in London last month that the proposal is worth exploring — part of the new U.S. administration push for better ties with Moscow.

Medvedev reaffirmed Friday that the new security pact he proposed is not aimed against NATO.

Obama's going to have to do a lot better than SAY he wants better relations with Russia. He's going to have to show he's stopping the aggression. So far he's just shown a willingness to go along with the plans the same as they were laid out in the * and Fudd Administration. Not okay.

They are showing every sign of acting in good faith, while we are showing almost no sign but a stupid reset button and a grin. They are willing to go in the old trust-but-verify standard and so why aren't we? If we have righteous intentions, WHY aren't we? WHAT are we still doing with that transparent bullshit about anti-missile missile bases planted right where they can harm RUSSIA and its allies? Why, if we were even partially sincere in our reasoning did we not accept Russia's offer of better and cheaper means to do this inside Russia itself? WE DIDN'T BECAUSE WE ARE OUTRIGHT BAD FAITH ACTORS IN THIS WHOLE GEOPOLITCAL WRECK.
