The Russian president is right - the USA must mind its own business and should not stick its nose into every hole it can find.....

Moscow scoffs at a US call on the G8 to exclude Russia for its different democratic values from those of the group's other seven members.

"It's totally obvious that any notion of excluding Russia or putting pressure on Russia appears simply not serious," Russian president Dmitry Medvedev was quoted by AFP as saying on Thursday.

In October 2007, US Republican presidential candidate John McCain said that if elected he would push to exclude Russia from the Group of Eight to punish Moscow for rolling back political freedoms.
Speaking to journalists, Medvedev earlier said the US in 'essentially a depression' is in no position to advise other countries on their affairs.
He added that a revived Russia had a right to assume a larger role in a world economic system that should no longer be dominated by the United States

Medvedev argued that the question of democracy was irrelevant to the G8 and, that the United States had more pressing matters to attend to.
“The Group of Eight exists not because someone likes or dislikes it, but because objectively, they are the biggest world economies and the most serious players from the foreign policy point of view,” the Russian president stressed.

Medvedev also warned against any attempts to put restrictions on his country for it would 'damage the entire world order'.

"I am sure that any administration of the United States of America, if it wishes to succeed, among other things, in overcoming essentially a depression that exists in the American economic market, must conduct a pragmatic policy inside the country and abroad," he added.

Like I said, it is russian propaganda. In fact, it's offical russian propaganda. Many have fallen prey to it.

Jester I see you are new around these parts. The OP's original screen name was New Governor of Alaska. He was banned a few weeks ago. If you look up the posts from New Gov. and compare it to the OP you will be able to tell they are one and the same. He just likes to come on and tell everyone how much America sucks and how we would all be much better if Russia was the only super power. Blah Blah Blah. Do not read any thing into it. He will just post some stupid article and never say any thing else about it.

Jester, did you listen the interview?

If he was banned a few weeks ago, then why is he allowed to sign in under a different name? Why was he banned?
