Putin Signs Protocol On Russia Joining WTO but why now?

Does Putin look like a man you can trust?

Putin Signs Protocol On Russia Joining WTO: Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the protocol for his country to join the World Trade Organization (WTO). Putin's signature ends 18 years of Russian efforts to join the WTO.

Russia had been the largest economy outside the WTO. Supporters said Russia's entry will improve foreign investment and help Russian businesses but some Russian businesses are concerned the low import duties and caps on subsidies that WTO regulations require will have a negative effect on their enterprises.

We have been working to help Russia join the WTO but is now the right time in light of the way Putin is flaunting the west and instigating the slaughter in Syria thus the total breakdown of what little order there was there? We already made a mess of that with Bush's illegal attack on Iraq.

We will be important allies to a prosperous future in many instances not just Iran, Afghanistan, and the so called war on terror.

We keep hearing from the war mongers on the right that we gave Russia the farm and screwed America and Europe. Quite the opposite is true at least that is what I thought until Putin stole another and extended election to get back in the Presidency and put an end to US hegemony. Right now all bets are off as Putin has been fighting us over anything and everything just for the sake of being against anything the west wants.

Russia was allowed to join last December under Medvedev: The Nigerian trade minister, Olusegun Olutoyin Aganga, struck a gavel to announce that the W.T.O. trade ministers’ meeting here had accepted the bid. Because the organization operates by consensus, Russia had to first reach bilateral agreements with 57 of its current 153 members to secure their support.

“This result of long and complex negotiation is favorable both for Russia and for all our future partners,” President Dmitri A. Medvedev said in a statement read to the conference by the first deputy prime minister, Igor I. Shuvalov. He called on world leaders to continue working for freer and fairer trade, adding: “Russia is ready to contribute as much as possible into this work.”

Can you really believe that now or is it now another tool Putin will use because as a WTO Member will Russia Be Able To Continue Using Health Concerns To Block Trade?

Detente: Russia Demands Lifting Of US Blockade Against Cuba bans Iranian investments in nuclear industry, excellent!

Over a year ago after Obama met with Dmitri Medvedev and proposed Russia and the US press the reset button after the mess Bush made of Russian US relations stupidly the issue being discussed was that Russia was trying to get control of the reset button. I am happy to see they have under Medvedev

We have unity with Obama and Medvedev instead of the race to war with Putin and Bush! Obama started this new detente, this new cooperation as had to be the case to send the message. Obama was criticized for it by Republicans as usual but it was the right thing to do. I am glad to see Russia under Medvedev has picked up the baton.

First I have to say thanks to Obama lightening up the mood between Russia and the US I am feeling very optimistic about working together to proceed successfully into the 21st century. Switching to the Aegis missile system which is mobile and already used and proven and scrapping Bush's war mongering worthless MDS (missile defense system) Boondoggle was a GREAT IDEA!

First as I said already I am psyched that Russia has agreed to sanctions on Iran and their nuclear program, have limited Iran's access to advanced weapons, and demanded more openness with their nuclear program and uranium enrichment, along with better cooperation with IAEA and their inspectors.

Russia's U-turn on arms sale Reset button success, I love it!

U.S. Agrees to Press Russia's Bid for WTO

We will be important allies to a prosperous future in many instances not just Iran, Afghanistan, and the so called war on terror. There is now a possibility that NATO the US and Russia will work on a joint missile defense system thanks to Obama's smart move to use the Aegis missile system and scrap Bush's worthless missile defense shield, and China's row with Japan could use their help too.

We keep hearing from the war mongers on the right that we gave Russia the farm and screwed America and Europe. Quite the opposite is true and we continue to see the proof. Russia is right to demand that the worthless blockade against Cube be lifted. I was a bit surprised when a friend of mine from Canada told me Canadians have no ban and vacation in Cuba all the time bringing Canadian and US goods.
