Hillary Clinton Slams Russia for Attempting to rebuild the Soviet Union |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 20566260 United States 12/11/2012 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hillary Clinton Slams Russia for Attempting to rebuild the Soviet Union U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton warned Thursday about a new effort by oppressive governments to "re-Sovietize" much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, taking particular aim at Russia for its crackdown on democracy and human rights groups just hours ahead of critical talks with that country's foreign minister. Clinton's meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will focus on the violence in Syria. They'll be joined in Ireland's capital by the U.N. mediator for the Arab country, Lakhdar Brahimi, in a three-way attempt to breathe new life into diplomatic efforts to stem the violence. However, speaking to a group of lawyers and civil society advocates on the sidelines of an international human rights conference, Clinton took aim at what she described as a new wave of repressive tactics and laws aimed at criminalizing U.S. outreach efforts. The trends are indicative of a larger reversal of freedoms for citizens of Russia, Belarus, Turkmenistan and other countries that emerged from the breakup of the Soviet Union two decades ago. "There is a move to re-Sovietize the region," Clinton lamented. Read more: [ link to www.montrealgazette.com] |

Wrong person to send, imo. Talk about the one person in DC that has zero credibility with Russia, lol.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29591931 Maybe,,,,,but maybe it's not the messenger, but what about the message? Is she even aware of what led to this? From what I have read Russians weren't prepared for the collapse. Some didnt even want it. Some were mad at Gorbachev. Is the world there today any better then the 70s 80s? Some say its worse, some say its better. Is it fair or selfish of her to slam them? What's the difference between that and EU and NATO? |

I miss the Soviet Union. The cold war had clarity which is much better than the world we have today. It was us vs them and we knew who 'they' were. Plus they haven't made a decent spy movie since the cold war ended. |

NO, they went into production, in industry & agriculture. Therefore there is no reason to think that the new KGB was filled with anything else but pure Orthodox Russians. And since Putin was the leader of that Orthodox gang he knows what’s best for Russia. Don’t you think so? |

Plus they haven't made a decent spy movie since the cold war ended.Because the CIA has been infiltrated by Islam and the LGBT. Who wants to see a transsexual intelligence officer taking it up the ying-yang in Kabul in full burkha. Clancy won't write that shit. |
