Russia is now requiring their media to portray the U.S. as their enemy. Why is most of our own media ignoring this, along with the fact that Russia is snuggling up with Iran, who is in bed with Al-Qaeda? I would think it important for America to know who we're up against.

I feel that a lot of what Russia is doing is purely financial. They still have a very fragile economy. They are the main suppliers to many middle east countries and other questionably run states for goods, weapons and materials related to to nuclear energy.
I think that if Russia had other sources of income, other than being the supermarket for rogue states, this would not be an issue.

Because Russian freedom is currently not in the interests of the US - at least not from the media's point of view. Forget the fact that Putin has now abandoned freedom of speech, freedom of the press and certain parts of the free market. Russia is slipping slowly into a dictatorship completely free of even the pretence that it's for the benefit of the people. Russia's only even mildly benevolent leader from the last 150 years is now dead - and Russia's future looks bleak.

i don't think Russia has never been that good of friends with the U.S and i would say that they are still hard feelings about what ragion did to them when they was fighting al qaude in Afghanistan i would not be surprised if they are the ones that are providing weapons to the Iraq people so the U,S would loose. We all know the old saying turn about is fair play.

I have been saying for a long time DONT TRUST THE RUSSIANS!!!!!
Putins actions cannot be described as nothing short of Opression, Murder, and Fratnerizing with the enemy.
Iran and Russia, the new Italy (Iran) and Russia (Germany).

I have thought for quite some time that the cold war never totally ended its just a bit underground now.
Putin being former KGB leader and a leftover from the cold war era is like well.... can you really expect him to to change his ways that much?

I guess so, since they are going back to Communism. Read the Ten Planks of Communism. Boris Yeltzin was the only one in favor of democracy, having holiday worship and free enterprise, giving rights and civil liberties to their people. God rest his soul!

I think that the most important thing for U.S. is to stop inventing more and more enemies.It's time for improving it's social policy and do something about ecology instead of wasting billions of dollars on military.U.S.S.R. doesn't exist for more than 15 years! and you can't fight the terrorists with F-16 and nuclear bombs.
