Seeking Reassurance

The new Huns: a view from Russia
Relationships of China with the neighbours, based on the sinocentric concept, remained essentially unchanged through centuries. One of the mechanisms was suppression of the cultural identity of potential rivals. For this purpose, China pushed the nomads to the West: the Huns, the Mongols, who swept away entire civilizations. This is the light, in which the today's patriotic campaign in Russia should be seen. Some accompanying phenomena become clear: distortion by Russians of their own historic heritage, barbaric reconstruction of Moscow, falsification of history. All that is aimed at pushing our country farther to the East, into the Asian steppes. The movement in the same direction has been continued until today, contributing to Russia's transformation to a Chinese satellite, and Russians - into the new Huns devoid of cultural individuality, with aggressiveness directed to the West. China equipped the Huns and the Mongols with a totalitarian state apparatus and corresponding ideology, negating all kinds of liberalism and human rights, but did not share with them its ancient culture. A glance at a map shows that Russia is between the West and the East, between China and Europe. From the East we have indifference to personal freedom and human rights, intolerance of non-conformism, superiority of executive power over the law (so-called executive tyranny) and intimidation of a major part of the population. From the West - fundamental sciences and ideas of liberalism, that are persisting in the thin layer of intelligentsia. Today we are losing it. Our science does not reject falsification and plagiarism; and even medicine ceased rejecting charlatanism. Moscow is losing its European appearance: pseudo-traditional kitsch, second-rate high-tech and post-modernism, like in middle-sized Chinese cities. The skyline of the newly built business centre Moskva-City is borrowed from Kuala Lumpur. Some building materials of Chinese origin, used in the course of Moscow reconstruction, have low strength and provoke allergic reactions. Low quality of products on sale, most of them originating from China, becomes more and more remarkable. A perfect illustration of these tendencies is the Russian custom-house: unparalleled bureaucratic procedures, bribes and other obstacles to the importation of medical and other products. Another example is the Russian postal service remaining notoriously slow and unreliable. So far, aggressiveness of the new Huns is manifested only in rhetoric or as violation of the copyright. Intellectual property, professional literature, computer programs are often misappropriated. Remarkably, proprietors of intellectual values have no tools of defending their rights. Accustoming a neighbour to violation of his rights means subordinating him. Why not, somebody must be the leader.

These are truly highly assuring words and most encouraging prognosis.

Just make sure that words will transform into actions.

Keep up the good spirits.

So Precident Obama is going to Uncle Japan to borrow money. Japan may not know it right now but that is why. It's all because you liberal democrat lied about Bush's economy took over the congress and 3 short years really made a mess of the great economy Bush gave you. It was your democrats bills he was signed. Where was the unemployment 3 year ago when you Democrat took over congress somewhere around 4.3%. Go ahead and put on those rosie glass and blame Bush

The New World Order for whom Obama works for is engineering a global popultaion reduction of over 90%
They must be stopped. Discover their real agenda and how they are doing it at www.somethingmustbreak.net

In 2012 we can write in that heroic Police Officer who responded SMARTLY--and bravely-- at Ft Hood and got the terrorist subdued decisively.
We need THAT kind of fortitude, clarity and presence of mind at the White House, and experience!
And our American hero has NOTHING to apologize to ANYONE for in her zeal to enforce the laws and defend the Constitution.And protect the more victims the terrorist was going after.

Obama save whats left of the countrys money and stay home ... we have issues in this country or have you forgot

Whatwith the fairy tale of a bi-racial child of people from two continents who grew up surrounded by members of a third race on a third continent (noticeably only Europe missing from the picture), Obama doesn't strike one as a success story. Of course, all United Statelets' "presidents" are just puppets on a string, and that's why an ex-third grade actor, Reagan, can epitomise the role by far the best, because he had had training not to get too emotionally involved in the part he's playing. But Obama is a true dilettante when it comes to the heavy demands of the newly ascribed role -- that of a "friend" with leaders from the areas until recently openly disparaged in the US media as the "third world". Well, USofA are exactly that third world now that the world has gotten rid of their pieces of green stamped cotton as a means of trade. And we've seen the level (read: depths) to which those "united" statelets can stoop in New Orleans after the hurricane and in the shootings of US mercenaries at an army base -- and not in USofA-occupied Iraq, mind you, but in the heart of the Yank-occupied South. Ah well...

Let's hope Obama doesn't go on an Asian Apology Tour like the Apology Tour he did in the Middle East. Maybe he should take his teleprompter with him and dazzle them with how he can get up on his soap box and give a speech reading his teleprompter.

Maybe they won't laugh at him as much as they laughed at Giethner, then again they may laugh at him a lot more.

Anything developed from a human mind wether an economic or political system or anything else will be inherently flawed. It's only a matter of time and god's determination when those flaws erupt.

Um, why is he going to Asia? Is it just me, or does he seem to take an awful lot of vacat......trips abroad.

what wrong with you people? this so called president is nothing more than a puppit. no action, no decisions, no nothing unless he's told to do so. all of you lib's have enough rope now to do what has always happened, you'll hang yourselves trying to tell the majority what you think has to be done. you'll never learn history DOES repeat itself

All hail President Pansy.

*** you!

With the insane conduct of the GOP and the Media/Press the Asian countries see the Obama is working with some of the dumbest Branches in the World. They have seen that even the GOP Majority Whip Boehner doesn't even know the US Constittution. The total disrespect to woman by the GOP and insane comments with a Health Care Plan that the GOP has only a WindMill. They have seen Senator Coburn use God's name as a Deacon/Senator/Doctor block medical help to our soldiers. Rush Limbaugh the racist druggie still directing the GOP. Why would any country look to follow the United States of America when even the Media/Press lie to the public. Obama is a bright light in a dark USA. With some of the stupid comments done by the GOP the Asian countries know their are more George W. Bush's in the US. Now Sarah Palin has made her mark as a sex object and might work for back room deals.

this is a real pragmatic and sensible article and it ought to be appreciated as it is very true in every essence -it is possibly going to be heralded as unpatriotic and a symbol of weakness but that is exactly what america is today and it needs to recognise the facts as it no longer is considered the policeman of the world but rather a nuisance by everyone other than the american zionist alliance ,who still live in a cuckooland .
even pakistan told america off in clear words in hilarys mis adventures recently where she was taken to real task both by pak media and public and left totally hysterical and speechless .
i hope obama is more fortunate but i am very sceptical and i think he will have a tough time though less than hilary clinton -that paki grilling was priceless .
