The beginning of the end of good relations with Russia and The West






Black Hawk Helicopters from the 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) move into Iraq during the opening stages of the 2003 Invasion




The invasion into Iraq was far more than a mistake or an illegal invasion for oil, it was pivotal to the future relations of the USA and Britain with former allies of which Russia is only one. We all know the 'Freedom Fries' issue and the sequela of promises of returning allies for no bid contracts with the USA and it's empty treasury.


By the way, I often wanted to "Ask Hank" how it feels to be Treasurer of nothing? You know, he puts his former Goldman-Sachs signature on every newly printed USA dollar and I was just curious how it felt to have it mean absolutely nothing?


But, to return to 'the point of no return,' is it peace between communist nations and the USA completely impossible while Neocons rule the USA military? Will the advent of the Gordon Era in Britain allow for a return to sanity and inclusion of Russia as a full partner internationally? I would hope so, but, at this juncture there is little hope for such accolades when in fact the return of alliances by Britain and the USA to Russian involvement would be the best outcome to defeating terrorist networks. The estrangement of Russia is serving to allow voids of reassurance in any defeat of those networks. It is a sad reality and one the west cannot win without it's Eastern partners. Will Gordon recognize same while seeking the EU in new attempts to close those voids. It would be a benefit to Russia as well.
