Russia is an ultra-nationalist country that, as previously mentioned in here, wishes to be the powerful Soviet country they once were. Allying with them would be a huge mistake, as we would be going against our ideals of freedom seeing as they oppress any type of free speech in their country.
The KGB is slowly and craftily taking out any public figures who openly support true republican democracy and freedom of speech. Russia is NOT who we want to associate ourselves with.
Im glad we don't even suppress free speech here in America. I think Ill go protest the war in Iraq right now...as soon as I fill out for my permit and then find the free speech zone to protest in so I dont get arrested. Its kind of hard to go against Russia when in many ways we are becoming Russia part deux. Other than that I totally agree.
