also for relations between the U.S. and Russia by many observers, a warming predicted after it cooled steadily over the last eight years and in August 2008 when Südossetienkrieg its negative climax came when the mood and the mutual media propaganda to the level of the cold war plummeted. Obama and his vice Joe Biden sent signals that America is interested in restarting the Russian-American relations, which analyzed political scientists as a promising and necessary decisions. But what about the substance? Whether the two countries is at the mountain of problems and contradictions may grant apart and do and whether concerns are the new U.S. Administration to revise the vanguard of a genuine policy of the last two decades, is more to see with doubt.
As a first practical sign of the "new course" in Washington is in the press "accidentally" got offer Obama on Russia to reconsider the planned U.S. missile defense system in Eastern Europe, if Russia is on the Iran issue behind America. Medvedev did, however, quickly realize that Russia is on such a little horse-trading interests. For good reason: for a nebulous waiver of a spongy, although provocative, project, its technical and financial terms, especially in light of the economic crisis is very doubtful in any case, Russia should destroy real beneficial relations with Iran in the long term, to later may face even with a resumption of rocket plans. The Americans keep to arrangements known only as long as they are tied to an ongoing consideration simultaneously, then they fill the vacuum that opens out again and provoke maximum possible without hardship, to gain excess weight. What is a benefit to the Americans be worth if it is established already irreversible? The credibility of this country is in the eyes of the Russians already heavily damaged after the NATO already shot ahead despite any protestations to the East after Iraq was invaded with trumped-up arguments and after America on one side the SALT II treaty on arms limitation atomic-scale dissolved. Since a sufficient change in the White House Administration not: the reputation of a country rightly subject to a certain continuity, especially since the foreign policy of America in previous decades demonstrated a choice of outputs almost independent continuity. The offer of the United States should be examined in the background as another substance-less sham offer, which serves the purpose to position itself in the eyes of world public opinion to be constructive rather superficial, while Russia will stand as a stubborn "Nyet" Sager.
Symbolically, there was also the first meeting between Foreign Minister Hillary Clinton and her Russian colleague Sergei Lavrov. To illustrate the supposed revival of relations, brought the American woman with a stylized red button to be on the stand in English and Russian Restart. The Russian word, however, there was a faux pas: instead Perezagruzka, equivalent to the English reload, there was a Peregruzka - an overload. The diplomat Lavrov had overlooked the memorable mistakes like when Clinton would not need to underline that the employees of the Department of State had made "every effort" to find the right word. When she wanted to know Lavrov, if they did it, had to admit this, that on the button is a bad word and explain its meaning. "We will not allow you to do that with our relationship," Clinton said in the "joke". To be a naive translation errors this is probably not, because when appropriate will have specialists in the U.S. State Department is the correct translation of the word probably found out. More likely is that we have witnessed a stupid show a la americaine, which will probably continue into the real politics.
