Between Russia and the United States sentiments of good will continue to be mutually cherished.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.
I have great satisfaction in stating that our relations with France, Russia, and other powers continue on the most friendly basis.
Of course the United States and Russia have different interests. Nevertheless, both are strategic partners.
Russia continues to side with... rogue states and terrorist organizations, following Vladimir Putin's pattern of gratuitous and unpunished affronts to U.S. interests.
The starting point for understanding the deterioration in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia lies in Washington rather than Moscow. After 1989, Russia was a defeated power. Despite the fine words and some limited gestures, the Americans have treated it like one. Their policy has been one of encirclement.
Restoration of friendship with Russia, our biggest neighbor, is necessary for our peace and economy.
The growing economic potential of India and Russia is mutually complementary in many respects.
Russia will not soon become, if it ever becomes, a second copy of the United States or England - where liberal value have deep historic roots.
I would be delighted if the United States could have a positive relationship with Russia, and I would be thrilled if the Russian people, who are so capable, had a normal country that they could chart a different future.
We need to convert the extraordinary goodwill between India and Russia into a thriving, visible, vigorous, and mutually beneficial economic relationship.
