Medvedev Criticizes Putin's Cabinet On Economy

Putin is going to cancel this guys contract if he keeps it up with the criticism...BOOM.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has criticized his government led by close ally Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for being too slow to implement measures to tackle the economic crisis, local news agencies said on Sunday.

They reported Medvedev as saying only 30 percent of Russia's plans announced three months ago had been carried out. Medvedev's rebuke was unusual since he and powerful ex-president Putin frequently boast of their close relations.

Russia has been hard hit by the crisis, with the stock market falling by almost 70 percent last year, the rouble 17 percent off against the dollar and euro basket, prices for major exports down sharply and many large companies laying off staff.

"Many things have been implemented unjustifiably slowly," Itar-Tass news agency quoted Medvedev as saying at a meeting on the effects of the slowdown, attended by business leaders.

Medvedev, on a visit to a hi-tech Moscow aircraft engine plant, said in October he had given the government a set of tasks to stabilise the economy but that just 30 percent of the planned measures had been introduced so far, Tass reported.

"We must confess that at present, the planned measures are being implemented slower than we expected and more importantly, slower than the current circumstances demand," Tass quoted Medvedev as saying.

Medvedev was personally endorsed by Putin as a presidential candidate and went on to easily win last March's election.

Russia's Medvedev to visit India on December 4-6

Gee, what a coincidence? Notice how the guilty always return to the scene of the crime? Remember I said this is about the USA and India signing a nuclear plant pact? Well, it looks like Russia wants to get their own deal with India and they were not too pleased the USA and India signed that deal in the first place. What happens when you burn the Russians? They have Muslim terrorists create a new terror organization and they attack you through a 3rd party.

The visit is also expected to see the signing of a series of agreements, including on nuclear cooperation. Russia could help build another four reactors at India's Kudankulam nuclear power plant to add to the two that already exist.

Russian President Visits France Blasts U.S., Pushes New Security Pact

The TUG O' WAR with Russia over Europe is getting nasty....

This is just building alliances before the World War breaks out, do not be concerned. The Russians have been trying to break up NATO since it's existence...

EVIAN, France (Reuters) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Washington had forfeited its place at the heart of the world order and he called on Europe instead to work with Russia on a new security pact.

Medvedev said the United States had taken unilateral steps -- such as its invasion of Iraq, plans for siting a missile shield in Eastern Europe and NATO expansion -- that smacked of a Cold War mentality and created new dividing lines.

"A desire by the United States to consolidate its global domination led to it missing an historical chance...to build a truly democratic world order," after the September 11, 2001, attacks on U.S. cities, Medvedev said.

"The Warsaw Pact has not existed for almost 20 years. But unfortunately for us at least, the expansion of NATO is being carried out with particular fervor," he said at an international forum in the French resort of Evian.

"Quite naturally, no matter what is being said, we regard these actions as directed against us."

"That all belongs to the past just as Sovietology does. Sovietology, like paranoia, is a very dangerous disease, and it is a pity that part of the U.S. administration still suffers from it," Medvedev said.

Medvedev's tough speech echoed a similar address in Munich last year by his predecessor, Vladimir Putin, which became a cornerstone of Russia's foreign policy and prompted many Western policymakers to talk of a Cold War atmosphere.

Many observers had predicted Medvedev, a former corporate lawyer who took over from Putin in May, would adopt a more conciliatory approach. But his speech demonstrated he shared his predecessor's stance on foreign policy.

Medvedev suggested the United States' economic dominance had contributed to global turmoil on financial markets.

"Even during the '90s the ineffectiveness of the 'unipolar' economic model revealed itself," he said. "And more recently the weakening dollar has created a whole chain of problems."

Russian stock markets have lost almost 70 percent of their value this year -- a steeper fall than in many comparable economies. Investors blame a knock-on effect from problems on U.S. markets and concerns about political risk in Russia.

U.S. missile shield in Europe targets Russia - Medvedev

Wow, you Russians are smart LOL....

Well, maybe the missile shield is going up, because people are onto your scheme to conquer and destroy the world by arming Muslims with your Satanic weapons? Ya think?

Eat some more fiber dude, you look constipated :)

SOCHI, August 15 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday he has no doubt that a planned U.S. missile defense shield for Central Europe is aimed against Russia, but Moscow is ready to continue talks with all parties concerned.

"The deployment of new missile-defense elements in Europe has the Russian Federation as its aim," Medvedev said at a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi.

The United States and Poland signed an agreement on Thursday to deploy 10 U.S. interceptor missiles in the former Communist-bloc country.

Russian officials earlier said Moscow could deploy its Iskander tactical missiles and strategic bombers in Belarus and Russia's westernmost exclave of Kaliningrad if Washington succeeded in its missile shield plans in Europe. Moscow also warned it could target its missiles on Poland.

Russia: Medvedev Blames U.S. For Economic Crisis

This is where they sell their socialist agenda to the idiot liberals and the freeloaders that love Hussein Obama.

They have been doing this for the past year on Pravda, I was waiting for this announcement and here it is .....

"The failure to properly assess risk by the largest financial corporations, combined with the aggressive financial policies of the world's largest economy, have led not only to losses for those corporations," he said, "but unfortunately have impoverished the majority of people on the planet."
