Has Medvedev Upset the Russian People?

Stay tuned for tomorrow (Monday). This spot will be on what has just come out of Medvedev’s actions about Libya. I am going to let it ride a day and see what happens. I can tell you first hand though. There are some upset Russians running around…

Russia joins UN sanctions against Libya and Muammar Gaddafi:
Russia has joined the UN sanctions against Libya and Muammar Gaddafi.

This is a Medvedev decision and only a Medvedev decision. So lets see what is happening tomorrow and I will update this article on the word, that is out and about…

Hummm…

Windows to Russia!

Update: The answer is YES! For someone that might contemplate a run for president again he has a knack for shooting himself in the foot. The bottom line is that Libya is considered by many to have been a partner with Russia, just like Iran, Syria, Cuba and  Venezuela. Libya was a huge arms sale country for Russia. The fact that Medvedev kisses up to the West has now become a major topic of discussion and I run into the topic everywhere I go. Even when I traveled to Ukraine it was a serious topic for Ukrainians. The mind set was like this, If Russia turns a blind eye on partners then what good is a relationship with Russia. Russia needs to be the beacon of balance against the West…

Humm I found that thinking interesting and truthful…
