"Mr President, I think that we are still moving in the wrong direction. Why are we picking on Russia? This last conference was also a war on Russia. That is what all the headlines are saying. America wants to play its little game and getting us to fire the shots. However, we are pushing Russia into creating a Sino-Russian axis, which will sandwich us between America, Russia and China. Why? What quarrel do we have with them? Are we going to repeat the historic mistakes we made 200 years ago? So why pick on Russia? What do we have to divide?
As for the human rights I have been hearing about, let us not delude ourselves. We turned a blind eye to the issue of Chechnya because we wanted Russia to turn an equally blind eye to Israel and Palestine. That is tit for tat. Can we therefore formulate a new policy for cutting our American apron strings? I heard someone talking about the dwarves that rule Europe. Even the dwarves should pull themselves up to their full height at long last. We cannot be led by the Americans down a path which will only cause Europe problems. We need to understand that."@en1
