    When we grew it was comon knowledge that America was a great nation that stood for freedom and democracy. Today freedom and democracy has only become slogans for US to protoe its own geopolitical goal. It is very sad what has happened to that country which is why most of the world now view America as the biggest threat to world peace. Americas fight for dominance in Eurasia put US in the same box as nazi germany who were going for the same areas, at least Hitler did not exploit the term "democracy and freedom" in his campaign for world dominatin

    The authors of the article try to solve a problem that does not exist. Anyway, I like that they want the G7 to draw closer to former Soviet countries. Recall that Russia is also a former Soviet country.
