I think the whole thing was scripted, or has been for the last few months, so that the US could bow out and save face.

Yeah, I am increasingly convinced that 95% of what occurs in international agreements is worked out in those very backrooms. The stuff said in speeches and in press conferences is all smoke and mirrors.

There are always backroom deals around.
That’s why US “reaction” to nuclear fuel shipment was so easy.

All Soviet-US real relations were “backroomed”.

I’m just sayinn…

Anybody think there is maybe a connection between the NIE report, Bush’s support of Russia sending enriched nuclear fuel to Iran, the drop in violence in Iraq, whatever Bush and Putin said to each other at Kennebunkport, and whatever Putin said to Ahmadinejad? Like maybe there was a three-way backroom deal made?

I’m just sayin’…

Nice to see that even as I lay recovering from pneumonia, that bickering and thread-hijacking remain a constant here.

For those who are actually interested in the Bush Administrations mechanations (too tired to check the spelling) regarding Iran in recent years, I recommend the following article:

http://www.esquire.com/features/iranbriefing1107

It details efforts by Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann to enter diplomatic talks with Iran, how close the US came to that, and how the Bush toadies essentially mucked it up and then attempted to censor Leverett from talking about it later in a New York Times op-ed piece.

Basically, I would say that any expansion of Russia’s role in international diplomacy in recent years are almost all a direct result of foreign policy arrogance and failures by the current US presidency.

In short, Bush should be declared a hero in Russia – from increased oil and gas prices, to foreign policy openings for Russia in the Middle East, and increased Rosboronexport sales worldwide, Russia has greatly benefitted from the utter incompetence of the Bush administration.

… Are you saying that he’s wrong?

No, Mike, I didn’t say anything of the sort. I did ask you something, though:

Since you claim that the “quote of Litvinov appears to be different from what Gordon Craig quotes on page 701″, could you please post a quote or two from Craig’s book so that we can see for ourselves if there is indeed any differences? Just do it.

”I don’t seek favors from people who are repeatedly rude to me. I believe that to be a normal human reaction.”

Mike, I know you like Russian stuff like sports shirts and toy tanks and the like – and so do I. Thats why I offered to pick you up one. Apart from anything else they’re quite cheap in Moscow. If trying to be nice to you is wrong, then am guilty as charged.

Do you understand that Tim Newman was WRONG for saying that the Soviets made an offer which would’ve theoretically defended Czechoslovak territory. Erm, it is you who is claiming this, not me. I am claiming that the Soviet offer was nothing to do with Czechoslovakia. Sheesh!

The above quoted, Tim and Chris are in no position to tell me to shutup.

No, were are not. We just wish you would.
