Geopolitique

One question was posted: how do we get Russia to be our ally? Good question. Good and complicated. But I would say we begin by acting like an ally. We should support Russia in its war on terror against Chechnya. We should not be too critical of censorship -- considering how paranoid our government is to any suggestion of harming the president. We should support pan-slavic efforts, such as the Serbs in their struggle against Jihad (i.e. Kosovo). Russians like other Slavic peoples. It would probably take a few years of this to gain Russia's friendship. And finally, we should support other Orthodox peoples in their struggles against Islam, for example, the Greek Cypriotes, the Armenians, and the Lebanese Christians. At the very least we should give Christians economic support, and it is not too much to add diplomatic as well.
