Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused western countries of using unfair political methods including deceit and breaking promises to obstruct the process of "resetting" relations between Russia and the West.
In an interview in Kommersant daily, Putin said his speech at the 2007 Munich Security Conference, which several western politicians considered a declaration of reviving the Cold War, was still relevant, as many western countries are unfair in their dealings with Russia.
"At time of the withdrawal from East Europe, the NATO secretary general promised the USSR it could be confident that NATO would not expand over its current boundaries," Putin said.
"And where is it? I asked them [NATO officials] about this. They have nothing to say. They deceived us in the rudest way."
Russia-U.S. relations face a lot of problems, Putin said. "We had just come to terms that there would be no missiles [NATO missile defense systems] in Poland...but it was suddenly announced that the same [missile defense system deployment] was planned for other European countries."
"I think it [the Munich speech] was useful. Because I said the truth... They [Western countries] told us one thing, but did another. They spoofed us in the full sense of this world," the premier said
Putin cited the case of Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot arrested in Liberia on charges of drug trafficking and extradited to the United States in May 2010.
"His [Yaroshenko's] lawyer set out the issue precisely: A Russian resident in an African country was accused of drug trafficking. How do U. S. state interests come into the picture? No one can say exactly! They took a foreign resident and moved him out in secret. What is this?"
"In this sense, all that I spoke about in Munich is relevant today," Putin said.
U.S. President Barrack Obama seems to be sincere in his intentions to improve relations, Putin said. "I would like to see whether he will manage or not. But he wants to. I have an instinct that this is his sincere position," Putin said.
Russia-U.S. relations improved after Obama came into office in 2009 and then visited Russia. In April 2010, Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a pact to replace the START 1 strategic arms reduction treaty which expired on December 5. The new treaty is seen as an important part of efforts to reset relations between the two countries.

- sagbotgamotdeceiving russia13:39, 30/08/2010yes, obama might really be honest in his intention to improve ties with russia as promised during election time but only to find out that when he assumed office he realized he is actually powerless to the wishes of american and jewish global interest. US/Israeli global interest is first and foremost. If putin felt deceived by NATO expansion, he should realized that NATO is just a pawn. All decisions come from washington, pentagon and some rabbis in tel aviv. Jews rule the world.
- pantoja13what a dipstick00:58, 01/12/2010sagbotgamot, the only people that rule the world are those that people put in office . to assume the world is run by a race or faith is assinine your nothng but a back water dumb ass . and to accuse a person of the jewish faith to rule the world just proves you dont know shit . we all rule it by the people wee elect in to office so take your kkk thoughts and stupidity somewhere else.
- quadiblocOpinion15:33, 30/08/2010For Westerners, it's hard to understand why Russia, if it seeks peace, should have any concern over either NATO expansion or U.S. missile defense systems. The U.S. was not a dictatorship threatening world peace until recently; Russia was.

- melaniemPutin slams west for deceiving Russia16:40, 30/08/2010The point is this: President Obama decided not to follow up on George W. Bush's former missile shield defense plan, but then decided to go ahead with a different plan, but basically with the same intent. He claims that he is held back by Congress, by the Pentagon, but really he and his team are calling the shots. Why would he call for "change" and a "reset" in US-Russian relations to only enact a similar military plan? My advice to Prime Minister Putin: Words are nothing, Deeds are everything.
- Nikos_RetsosPutin needs some intropspection!17:23, 30/08/2010Mr. Putin has only himself to blame. He said at the 2007 Munich Security Conference that the "U.S. was like a mad man, running around with a straight razor, and trying to solve his problems!" He also said that "the U.S. effort to solve all global issues unilaterally was hopeless, and that the U.S. wanted to control the world with a "diktat." " But then he turned around and allowed the U.S. to use the U.N. Security Council as its tool for for just taking a couple of Russian companies off a U.S. blacklist. And sine then, Russia has followed the U.S. "diktat" voluntarily, and became "hopeless" itself to protect its nationals businessmen in Liberia and Thailand arrested under the pretext of "drug running," but actually for helping anti-American insurgents. Mr. Putin was impressive at the 2007 Munich Security Conference, but that tough impression has evaporated because since then Russia has allowed the U.S. to pull it by the nose - except in the case of Abkazia and South Ossettia.
Sure, "re-setting" good relation with the U.S. was a good idea. But during the implementation process, Russia
gave away the store to the U.S., but received only peanuts in return. Worse yet, Russia itself followed the "U.S. diktat," and that watered down Russia's ascending international prestige since the Boris Yeltsin years. And with that Russian prestige watered down, the U.S. now feels confident enough to compress Russia and
install the Defense Missile Shield in Europe. And the only thing Russia can do is clamor about! But clamoring like a baby won't impress the U.S. Military Industrial Complex (MIC) who control each U.S. president. Obama's good-will is limited. Historians have argued for decades whether the U.S. president is "a Leader or a Clerk of the U.S. Military and Industrial Complex," but there is no definitive answer. The fact is, however, that each president can act like a "leader" when he throws $ trillions in contracts at the MIC - as the European Missile System, but he can act ONLY as a "Clerk" when the decision making time comes.
Does Mr. Putin want his 2007 prestige back? Then he should stop clamoring, and tell the U.S. that the U.S. European Shield would be targeted - period. And then do so without saying anything else! Then, order an immediate shipping of the S-300 anti-aircraft batteries to Iran; provide Syria with effective defense weaponry, and tell Thailand that Russia will break off diplomatic relations if Mr. Bout is extradited to the U.S. Then turn around and look to Central Asia and the East for economic development, and stop begging Europe and the U.S. for business and respect. Then let the U.S. and Europe come back to him for another "reset," but on his own terms!

The real issue is the attempt by a group centered in the United Kingdom, and integrated with forces in the United States, typified by the circles represented by the Bush Administration—these circles are moving toward total globalization. The environmentalist turn of the current President of the United States is a featured example of that.
What they're headed for, is a world empire, a world empire of a type which is modeled on what happened when Byzantium collapsed as an imperial force, around A.D. 1000. At that point, the Venetian financier oligarchy took control of the European Norman chivalry, and ran what was called a medieval (ultramontane) system, which was based on attacking Islam and also on anti-Semitism, back during the period of 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries.
What you're looking at is an apparently stateless system like that in medieval Europe under the Crusaders and the Venetian oligarchy. Today Venice is still a factor—the Venetian oligarchy; but, the key thing is the Anglo-American or the Anglo-Dutch liberal financial oligarchy,*[1] which is now running the world. It's crazy, but it's running the world.

It has all come true.
He said Obama is a creature of Zbigniew Bryzinsky; that unlike the Neo-Cons, who were all about Israel and bullying weak nations (Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran) that could not strike back, Bryzinsky is a global madman of a much more dangerous order who sees Russia and China as the threats to Anglo-American hegemony that must be countered.
He said that Obama would not want to attack Iran but rather befriend it and turn it against Russia.....that Pakistan would be Obama's first target with the aim of 'Balkanising' it in the name of something like 'dignity' and independence for the different tribal regions....so Pakistan would fragment into 4 or 5 pieces and deny China a natural ally (shared border) also impeding the setting up of an energy corridor from Iran to China through Pakistan....and so on.
Get further details here, in this brilliant but alarming documentary, "The Obama Deception":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw - arnoldvinette@yahoo.comI absolutely agree with Putin and the Western deception03:03, 31/08/2010I was as surprised as the Russian government when the United States announced that it was installing its European Missile Defense shield last month.
This announcement was followed by Russian deploying its European Missile Defense shield.
News of the US Missile shield cancellation was written up in several internet articles and these were published in the 4th Presidential Kids Art Album eBook called "4 Years Best Wishes! President Barack Obama & Family". All of the artwork for the first ever "Russian Kids Art Album eBooks" came from the public schools in Volgodonsk Russia.
At the time the teachers and kids in Volgodonsk were thrilled to have made an important contribution to rebuilding Russia-US ties.
So it was a real disappointment to learn of the decision of the United States government to go ahead with the deployment of the US European Missile Defense shield in Europe.
All Russia can do is deploy their missile defense shield to be on equal grounds.
President Barack Obama's hand may have been forced by military advisers in his cabinet and previously arranged contracts. The President or the US like Russian President Dmitry Medvedev does not have complete control. Many other interests are at work behind the scenes. Military contractors, military contracts etc.
The Russian Government should always be polite with both the US and Canadian Governments and at the same time wary.
When the United States needs the Caspian Basin oil I guarantee you that there will be a fight for it.
National interests always take precedence in this way. The United States is the dominant country in the world or so it likes to think. It controls and others follow. For now anyway.
My advice to Russia is always be wary of the United States Government. There are many players in the political game (just as the case in Russia) and everyone has their own self interest. Especially when it comes to energy, energy supply, and securing it.
