    SALUTE______ on success to reset two major Nuclear Power Presidents??? most recent deal as a first START to agree for a remarkable example for all UN members across the Globe to Cut Weapons, enabling to move ahead to carry on NPT signing of countries having Nuclear-Terror (either by power balancing Nuclear strategists within Middle-East , Gulf, South Asian regions or especially by highly-irresponsible North Korea).

    NO doubt, it???s not an easy and one day task to convert distrust in re-building of TRUST.

    Even, according to a Newsweek report: Putin replied in a steely voice "We cannot stand vraskoryachku,". This rarely used idiom means "an awkward position," Nevertheless, a time will come when Russia and its very short-temporarily allies will unable to take asylum from upcoming WTO, ECO, Financial rules & regulation, and Democratic Globalization along with our visionary NEW Millennium???s International Democratic Regulatory Authority i.e. IDRA (that will be milestone to overcome the global challenges, and as a Bottomline-Institution to resolve various Global solutions-of-Global problems with Democratic Development processing of Freedom of Expression & Free-Market Economy especially for Global Economic & Financial-reforms) under umbrella of a restructured & entirely Democratic UNO with an ???un-biased??? Global participation of each member country without any discriminations of religions, race, colors, languages and nationalities (without any undemocratic Powers & current failures of its Security Council).

    It's my pleasure, pride and honor to highlight the outcome of recent G-8 Summit and Top Brass-Meetings for +2 C 'Institutionalizing' control of climate to work out to save our Human-Planet , and, to laying Fondation STONE -for building Solutions To Nation-Wide Economies for sustainable national, regional & global Development leading to development of a peaceful environment for our generations on this Global Village, under 'outstanding' Political Leadership and a remarkable 'Statesmanship' of President Barack Obama/Obama Administration with Democratic Leadership. I honestly submit here with a historical responsibility that President "OBAMA" & "AMERICA" (under Obama -Administration & Democratic Leadership) emereged to Keep remaining as GLOBAL LEADER (not to control the World, but______) to Lead for Global Solutions-of-Global Problems. No doubt, I have also a pride to remain proud with our Peoples & Generation on this Global Village as a "Part-of-Solutions' and would like to remain contributing, practically, as a member of Democratic Leadership.

    Most important is GLOBAL SUMMIT next year i.e (of course) best decided, will be hosted in Russia for Global Solutions-of-Global Problems especially related with Nuclear Energy.

    Russian President Medvedev Should Come Up With Smart Ideas Similar To Those Of Ex-Soviet Dictator Mikhail Gorbachev

    By: Jordan C. Fan, Prophet of Environment.



    The last entry of this discussion was about the SALT Treaty of nuclear reduction. The following are some extremely intelligent ideas dreamed up by Ex-Soviet Dictator Mikhail Gorbachev which should also be implemented by Medvedev:


    (1) Make sure his name sake Michael Jackson could receive address in Russia so that Mikhail can regain hi power and live in that address.


    (2) Tatooed his own forehead with the map of the Philippines Islands thinking that could make that nation unite with the Soviet Union.


    (3) Put Boris Yeltsin on top of his miliary tanks thinking that could make (Bor)is Yelt(sin) confessed to his (sin)s and a(bor)t his Revolution.


    (4) Invited Osama bin Laden to his Opium smoking party in Afghanistan because he thought whoever has a name starting with an "O" could increase his opium production there.


    (5) Invited Barack Obama to swim with him at his Black Sea resort so that no one could see or rescue Obama when he was drowning.


    (6) Didn't believe in the possible success of Reaganomic because Gorbachev thought Reagan was just acting.


    (7) "Tear down that (Berlin) Wall!" so that Russian tanks could roll into West Berlin.


    (8) Gorbachev thought China are only cups and dishes for drinking and eating. He was perfectly comfortable when China was rising and even enjoyed it thinking it was an act in the "Mary Poppins" movie.


    (9) Supported Soviet boycott of the Los Angeles Olympic anticipating earthquakes would destroy California. It would certainly save him money by not using nuclear missiles.


    (10) Replace Russian Black Market with his own "Free Market" to put African-American spy network in the Soviet Union out of business. Or is it really a "Flea Market"?


    (11) Endorsed the SALT Treaty thinking it was just a requisition for condiments. As a result all his nuclear missiles were destroyed.

    You get to employ a carrot + stick approach when you are talking. When you isolate, it's just stick. So the opposite side hardens, and 3rd parties don't come over to your side of the matter -- found a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

    i do not think obama will be around very much longer anyway himself -he is already showing fatigue cracks as is his regime and admin. ,we shall see whether he lasts longer or PUTIN ,
    FOR SURE NEJAD WILL BE THERE INSHALLAH WHEN OBAMA GOES HOME TO CHICAGO AND MICHELLE WILL BE THE BREAD EARNER .
    NEMTSOV IS A RATHER FAR FETCHED AND PHILADERING FANTASY TO DWELL UPON AND JUST SHOWS HOW AMERICA IS SOWING MISTRUST AMONGST CURRENT WORLD REGIMES BY SHOWING THEM IT CANNOT BE TRUSTED AT ALL -
    OBAMA IS A TRUE HYPOCRITE -AND I THOUGHT HE WAS HONEST AT ONE TIME -
    HE IS A SNAKE IN THE GRASS

    Forget what the reporters from Newsweek thinks about Obama's visit to Russia. What do the Russian people think of him. They say Obama is a preacher, a man of words and no action. Didn't any one on Obama's staff tell him not to talk bad about Putin? He said that Putin had one foot in the Communist past. Does Obama really think that Medvedev runs Russia?
    Then Obama meets with opposition leaders! They have no voice and are politically ineffective. Oh' I forgot again that his staff did not tell him to not piss off Putin.

    I thinkl the anti Obma white supremists should read the article. Nemtsov praised our president for meeting with him and other oppositon le3aders. As he said:The very fact of Obama's meeting with the leaders of Russia's opposition infuriated the authorities. The signal he sent to Medvedev and Putin by meeting with us is clear: his administration will engage not only with those who are in the Kremlin today, but also with those who may be in the Kremlin tomorrow. In other words, the current rulers do not, in the view of the U.S., possess a monopoly on Russia. And increasingly, the voices of democratically minded Russians are being heard.

    Well, Obama proves again that he is a person without character. Let Russia censor the people! Let them persecute the people. Those are Obama's kind of policies???

    ScumBama is an embarrassment to America and he will soon be removed from office.

    But with all this hugging and kissing, how will my murdered Russian ancestors be brought back to life and my ancestors' properties restored to us?

    I'm very much encouraged by the International Relations path being set by President Obama as compared to the previous administration. Gone is the day when the U.S. would make a decision to invade a country and expect our 'allies' to fall in line as evidenced in Iraq. Also gone is the paranoid Texan politics of "If you all ain't with us, you must be against us". The U.S. doesn't need to mend fences but rather tear down walls built by President Bush. Big difference between 'talk at' politics versus 'talk with' politics.

      Well said, Danyo. I couldn't agree more.

    This summit achieved little other than some embarrassment.
