I think it means that his focus should be on his relationship or rivalry with the east, rather than spending time on us Europeans since we are checkmate at the moment.

Probably and to me it seems that the sentiment is mutual. EU is increasingly looking at Russia to form a strong alliance as they are aware of the rapidly fading power of the US.

Europe is in terminal decline. The nations of the east are rising. Its logical for the US to focus there.

Haha, the EU is hardly in decline, the US instead, is. The EU is China's and Russia's most important customer and there is plenty of room left for growth, especially from a military point of view. I should say though, that the Anglo-Saxon attempt to hype the financial woes in the EU is effective.

I have no sympathy or compasion for any and all Governments that are directly effected by the information contained in these documents.
Don't get me wrong...I love and cherish my country (U.S), but they will be there own undoing. If there is damning E-mails and sensitive documents that could hurt diplomatic relations abroad, then so be it. It's time elected officials be exposed for the frauds they are. Regardless of outcome I'm sure most of us rather have the truth and face a little national embarasement than continue living a lie our so called elected officials perpetuate every day.

I would like to commend you for your well-rounded views and for not being one of those "defend to the death" types we see so much of around here!

I wouldn't worry too much about embarrassment. I don't think the general view of the American Public will change. Those who have an interest in reading the contents of these leaks will have the intelligence to recognize the difference between the administration and the people.

If these are opinions about world leaders and social/political situations around the world.. what's the big deal?

What sort of punishment should there be for American politicians having opinions about world leaders and diplomats? I am really curious, because if we are punishing people for their unflattering opinions, we need to imprison most of Europe ASAP for their CRIMES??? of insulting former President Bush and the American people for the last decade..

Right?



Let's see something more than your egos bruised before we declare America the ultimate enemy.

We've been flooded with hate from you for what feels like an eternity. Maybe it will do you some good to see that you can be viewed in a less than flattering light as well.

I'd like to see all the rosy, happy, friendly comments your diplos make in what are supposed to be private communications...

This is the international version of "but tommy said .....", like a bunch of 3rd graders.

Where's the beef?

I know its run into the ground but I still think Wiki is a Mossad operation. Maybe not wikileaks themselves but the people doing the leaking probably work for AIPAC. President of Iran is hitler, where have I heard that before? lol

You see that SOLD to the papers SOLD is about money people follow the money assange and wikileaks could care less about you or providing the truth WIKILEAKS IS A BUSINESS NOW hiding behind a c1c not-for profit orginization how is it NOT FOR PROFIT WHEN THEY ARE SELLING THEIR SOULS FOR MONEY???

Of course your right, they could of stopped this if they wanted.

Hospitals and mental homes are places they put people who threaten there security, and i mean in west.

But like you say, i reckon too they are doing this on purpose.

Personally from my perspective I would like to see a readjustment of our (British) relationship with America. (a more honest one for us both) Perhaps the release of these cables will stop the British Gov ranting on about a special relationship with the US that simply does not exist.

I wouldn't blame the US for looking east for it's prosperity.. and wish them luck in that search..

Tho I have to wonder what other worms will crawl out of the woodwork once these cables are released.

I don’t know if its relevant or sheer coincidence, but I have been refreshing the wiki site all day. Now I have no connection to the site, just keeps telling me Internet explorer cannot detect web page.

Peace

As much as I hate many of the things our government is doing, we still have more freedoms than many countries.

We can peacefully change what we see is wrong.

The bad stuff that is being released by wikileaks happens in all countries, not just the USA. China is worse in a lot of ways, yet I find people cheering them on for some reason. That makes no sense. We are not openly running people over with tanks here or clamping down on religious freedom.

That said it burns my a** the things we are doing and there papers reveal!

"Despite your stated desire to protect ... lives, you have done the opposite and endangered the lives of countless individuals.

This would be laughable, were it not so sad and true that the US Government could actually be making this statement about itself
