Putin rejects accusations vs Russia of neo-imperial ambitions
27.06.2006, 15.07
MOSCOW, June 27 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Vladimir Putin turned down
accusations, levelled at Russia, of neo-imperial ambitions and an energy
blackmail. He called for assessing the foreign policy of any country on
the basis of universal international standards.
?We do not divide countries into those with which we shall cooperate and
into those which we shall oppose. For instance our competitors in economic
markets are at the same time our key partners in settling important
international problems,? Putin emphasized at a meeting with Russian
ambassadors at the Foreign Ministry. ?But not all were ready for Russia to
grow strong so quickly.?
The president warned that Russia is ready to use its accumulated resources
for protection from dishonest competition.
?We intend to spend rationally available resource to protect the interests
of our citizens and the Russian Federation from dishonest competition,?
Putin said. In the president?s opinion, Russia?s criticism on purely
economic questions is sometimes of strictly politicized nature. ? We are
ready both to cooperate and to compete,? Putin stressed. ?However, we are
ready to do this on the basis of honest and common rules of the game.?
?It is difficult for Russia to understand why natural and transparent
decisions on transferring settlements with some of our partners to the
market grounds provoke, sometimes, an exalted response,? the president
continued. ?Maybe, it was necessary to explain this decision in good
time,? he claimed.
?We are doing this now,? Putin underlined. ?However, we have not heard
doubts from a single partner about economic justifiability of Russia?s
actions.?
?It is more advantageous to be friends and to cooperate reliably with the
present-day Russia,? the Russian leader continued. However, in Putin?s
opinion, some people look at Russia sometimes from a viewpoint of
prejudices of the past and see a threat in the strong and revitalizing
country?.
?Some are ready to accuse us well-nigh of reviving ?neo-imperial
ambitions? or, as we heard recently, of concocted ?energy blackmail?.? ?We
offer another way: to assess foreign policy on the principles of
international law and common and universal standards,? he went on to say.
The Russian chief executive contended that following the collapse of the
bipolar order in the world, an element of unpredictability in global
development persists, and talk still continues on inevitability of a
conflict of civilizations with a prospect for long confrontation a la the
cold war.
?I?m convinced that we have reached a turning point when it is necessary
to update the entire structure of global security,? he stated. ?If we
permit the inertia of former approaches to sidetrack countries, the world
will be doomed again to fruitless confrontation.? In this connection, he
called on Russian diplomats ?to swing these dangerous trends and to hammer
out new ideas and approaches?.

Sembra di sentire Hitler e il suo doubletalk sul Lebensraum. Pazienza, 
ne abbiamo sentite tante. Se solo non ci fossero tutti quei punti 
interrogativi... Cambiassero agenzia di PR...
Am.

 Sembra di sentire Hitler e il suo doubletalk sul Lebensraum. 
e' gia' patetico sentirti blaterare di Storia che non conosci affatto come
hai mostrato, poi quando dai questi giudizi dimenticando che e' GB che ha
invaso l'Iraq e si e' resa complice con gli americani di porcate come Abu
Ghraib eccetera eccetera diventi davvero ridicolo.
