Oo! To confirm my post, today (Feb 4th) Azerbaijan and Russia signed an anti-terrorist agreement. It states that Azerbaijan promisses to cooperate and help Russia in ANYWAY possible, i.e. Russian border guards on Azerbaijani border, etc, etc. US gave up on Georgia and Azerbaijan 🙂

Forgot to add that Russians have not only the tape of the handover (already was aired on Russian TV) but also written agreement from Babitsky AND some chechen leader. Plus no Chechen source denied that the exchange took place. Heh. But you are right, if they catch him next time he is probably done, for cooperating with terrorists 😉 Don't worry, not many will miss him.

Turk need Lobotomy..., or REALITY-CHECK....!!!!He think, this is Bosnia, where Coward UN, and USA Forces, drop bombs from 10 miles above ground!!!!THE ENEMY IS DEFEATED, MY FELLOW RUSSIAN COMRADE'S, AND LONG LIVE U.S.S.R....(P.S----USA DON'T WANT NONE OF THIS...LOL)

TURKA--TURKA--TURKA!!!!!!!LMAO..., HE IS IMBECILE..YOU ARE RIGHT, MY GOOD MAN, GEEVES!!!TURK ONLY THINK HE HAS PENIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turk, you are so.. well let me just say this, in Russian "turka" means an imbecile, dumb, etc. """

Well, this really doesn't reflect well on Russians. It only highlights stupidity, hatred and ignorance ingrained in Russian minds. What Russians call Turks is really the last thing Turks will worry. Because Russians don't have a good reputation in Turkey since bulk of the prostitutes are from Russia. They are not only in large cities, but also in small towns doing brisk business.

Don't get me wrong, there must be a lot of good Russians, but if you are trutful to yourself, you will agree that Russians are the least trusted, and liked people in the world. Just ask all the people from across the world, you'll get the same answer. Even "Evil Empire" has been created to describe the Russia.

Look at what you are calling your country, "A BEAR". Others call Russia a BEAR to indicate, rudeness, violance, overbearing attitude, and uncivilised behavior. After all they don't call you TEDY BEAR, or CUDDLY BEAR. Rather they call you GRISLY BEAR. And you, rather than ashamed of it, embracing it. Very SMART.

"""If US believed that Russia is an insignificant military power, it would bomb Russia long time ago. Russia is still the most feared country by the US. """

Is this indicating your level of intelligence? After all there are a lot of countries which are militarily much more insignificant than Russia, yet USA don't bomb them.

They did not destroy USSR by bombing it to oblivion. Yet, you will agree Russia was on her knees at the end of the cold war.

Your acting president agreed that it would take at least 15 years of strong growth to reach today's Portugal level in economic terms. And Portugal is the least developed EU country.

The only thing Russia can boast her nuclear arsenal. Can Russia boast making a positive difference in the lives of any group of people, or country? As far as I know they only brought misery wherever they went, from Finland to Chechnya.

"""US lost Georgia and it's getting less and less interested in Turkey too. So watch out. No, I'm not saying that Russia is going to do something silly as invading Turkey. But US won't stand up for Turkey if it does something stupid, i.e. attacks Russia."""

Turks can defend their territory against Russians. Afterall Russians had received biggest beatings from Turks (check your history).

Turks are smart enough to know that trade is much better than war, so they will happy to do business with Russia. They know that Russia don't have military muscle to invade. The question is can Russia use nuclear weapons? If you are a realist, you'll accept that this is not an option with or without USA. So let's not get into this silly hypotetical.

As long as Russia displays militaristic attitude, and fights to keep its empire intake, Russians will suffer from powerty, and live in misery. Maybe its time for Russia to behave.

Re: Igor's Post
NATO's military chief said on Wednesday that a multinational peacekeeping force desperately needed civilian police in crime-ridden Kosovo, and U.S. senators warned Europe to help or risk an American pullout.
* That sorry excuse for a soldier Corp. Clark knows his sorry job. He perfectly knew, that US adventure into Kosovo would result in Chechen-style "independence" the moment Serbs were out. Europe (perhaps, except Germany with its major stake in the former Yugo, but that doesn't want open-public associations all the same) doesn't want to be associated (politically - to blame all on US later; financially - well, those, ordering the music - pay) with the mess. The funny part might be with Europe starting tacitly supporting Belgrade (Greece and Italy wouldn't mind it) to "cleanse" up Kosovo of "ethnic" criminals again in the event of US pullout (good riddance, anyways).
``I am gravely concerned with the current situation,'' said Warner, who recently visited the region. He said the narrow military mission to stabilize both Bosnia and Kosovo was on track but that ``unacceptable, dangerous levels of criminal activity continue, and put our troops at constant risk.''
* The answer is a famous Jamie Shea's "What are you doing there in the first place?!" Heck, Serbs knew what they were dealing with.
``I think the Europeans should inherit the Kosovo quagmire and we should extricate ourselves from it as soon as practically possible,'' said Cleland.
* That's exactly what Europeans doesn't want, - to be served Garbage a la Albright.

Here we go. Another lie (or BS,or spin, whatever you like to call it). I won't surprise if Russians killed him and ditched his body somewhere. Most likely they are now trying to make a story to explain his death.
* Here, actually, You go.
It only highlights stupidity, hatred and ignorance ingrained in Russian minds.
* No, he was referring to You personally.
Even "Evil Empire" has been created to describe the Russia.
* Evil Empire had been created by J. Lukas for the Star Wars sequel, silly. Actor-presidents like watching kid stuff.

* It's still better, than wolves of Chechnia, heh.
After all there are a lot of countries which are militarily much more insignificant than Russia, yet USA don't bomb them.
* With Serbia being the most "encouraging" example.
As to RF military "insignificance" I'd say Your level is insignificant.
Yet, you will agree Russia was on her knees at the end of the cold war.
* Yep, with a stupid Gorbatchiow remaining it could've got even more downwards. I think it now a time of rebirth.
And Portugal is the least developed EU country.
* Dare to compare sizes? And Putins words are a strong sign, that he is going to go a hard way of creating a strong RF.
