Re: The West should official consider Russia as a hostile Nation
ah, but that would make it (slightly) more difficult to make business, you know. Awkward questions from those pesky journos, all the historical references to certain nations in pre-WW2 world (well, ALL nations, actually!) doing business with Herr Hitler, etc. And currently business "climate' around Russia is... difficult. Business is doable, of course, there's a will, there's ALWAYS a way, but it requires, shall we say, a new, innovative approach, no. Calling your business partners 'hostile' does not help, nosir. Let's be pragmatic and rational, Chamberlain is a great, great example historical example of pragmatism and rationality in action, no?
