Russia and NATO - Cooperation or Confrontation??

The results of the NATO summit were as predictable as a Soviet Communist Party congress, but in this instance, the word "peace" was replaced by war! Not a single word about the United Nations or peacekeeping. In deference to Russia, the only mention of eastern expansion involved the "new" Strategic Doctrine, replacing the more modest Euro-centric 1999 model, reaffirming US control of the foreign policy of what the war monger Zbigniew Brzezinski calls its "vassal states". France's new defense minister, Alain Juppe, openly said the Afghan conflict was a trap, and, at least in my opinion, as I have witnessed so often in cheap western movies: "White man speak truth." NATO now needs a plan for a 30 or 40 year role, but it is EXTREMELY unlikely that those who have always inhabited that unfortunate country are going to agree!! On the sidelines, Russian President Dmitri Medvedev told United States President Barack "Hussein" Obama that he was ready to cooperate on missile defense, but only in a full-fledged strategic partnership between Russia and NATO, while Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai told an unresponsive Obama that he should scale back military operations and night raidsthat inflict heavy civilian casualties.
