Would disagree with you - we will not move in a more balanced world but backwards to Brezhniev times ... and I do not like it a bit. I wish the world would be as you state - "mono - pole" headed by the US

--ggg--"Putin surprised with US court decision" The decision of the US Bankruptcy court on Yuganskneftegaz voiced by a judge in Houston surprised Russian President Vladimir Putin, as he announced at a press conference in the Kremlin. The Russian leader said the he doubted whether the judge was professional enough. “I’m not sure, she knows where Russia is,” he said. Putin stressed that the decision of the US court was first of all impolite in terms of international policies, as the two equal parties are not entitled to judge each other. “We are not satisfied with this way of establishing international relations, as all members of the community should be sovereign,” the President said. This was about the ruling of the US Bankruptcy Court in Houston (Texas). YUKOS filed for bankruptcy protection with this court challenging the actions of Russian authorities, which set its major oil producing subsidiary Yuganskneftegaz for sale. The court blocked the auction, but Russia ignored the ruling. Yuganskneftegaz was sold to previously-unknown Baikal Finance Group on December 19. Recently formed Gazpromneft participated in the auction but its representatives voiced no bids. It was later disclosed that Gazpromneft had changed the owner before the auction and the board of Gazprom had approved the deal post factum. New owner of Gazpromneft is also little known about. Financial details of the detail were not disclosed. This was not the last purchase. Baikal Finance Group was sold to Rosneft last night. As for the auction of Yuganskneftegaz, Putin expressed his belief that the deal was concluded without violations of international laws and regulations and Russia met its obligations under international treaties. gateway2russia.com
