FT: Future of NATO and challenges ahead
Last week Apr 02 - 04, NATO held the 20th annual summit in Bucharest, Romania. NATO's resources and the relationship among the alliance's member states are challenged by the mission in Afganistan.
Assertive and prosperous Russia of today is far from the bankruptcy, collapsed Ruble and anarchy of the 1990s. Russia sits on a reserve of over $500 billion in foreign exchange reserves thanks to record high prices on commodities such as oil, natural gas, nickel and aluminum.
On the other hand the United States economy is heading for a recession triggered by a serious credit crunch, the record high trade deficit, trillion dollars war in Iraq with a weaker internaltional credibility.

First, we succeeded in agreeing on a declaration that sets out in my view in any case, and I hope in the view of my colleagues from other countries too the main principles and rules the world can use to build its financial relations and the global financial system over the coming years.

Ivan Canas: The world needs urgently a new security treaty. Please read the 'more info' section.
I have been explaining in other of my youtube comments (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=W-r3j4rXR) why the world needs urgently a new security treaty. Medvedev just said the same.
George Bush destroyed the current security system (United Nations, Organisation of American States, NATO, etc) Since they unilateraly attacked Iraq bypassing the UN and violating the international law.
Now with the collapse of the financial system which free market policies were a failure the west is weaker than before. The world is confronting huge challenges like more competition for resources.
This creates a dangerous situation which equals the vacuum of security treaties before the second war. The reason for this is that the UN has lost relevance worldwide.
Dmitry Medvedev said the existing system of...

Getting to know Medvedev
This week the In Context team has a look at Medvedev's first encounter with Western media since being elected president. Also, there soon will be a new law on foreign investment. Foreign investors have welcomed this decision, but will the law be investment friendly? Hollywood has a habit of portraying Russia and Russians in a negative light. We challenge the stereotypes. And we also have a look at the Dalai Lama's "Hollywood strategy." Plus, much more.

Vladimir Putin!
Funny collection of Putin Pics
Vladimir Putin, the current Prime Minister of Russia, and former president who served two terms, has had a truly historic career. Accused of rigging elections and totalitarianism by the west. Russians loyalty to him, his reforms, stern personality and recent invasion of the former USSR state of Georgia, as well as his previous invasion of Chechnya make him a very interesting figure, so much so that TIME Magazine named him Man of the Year in 2007.
During his presidency, Russia's GDP increased from around 300 to $1300 Billion in USD, poverty rates were cut more than half, the middle class rose from 8 million to 55 million, and and average monthly salaries increased by 150% in real rates.

DMITRY MEDVEDEV: I think we need a rational and functional architecture. What do I mean by this? Russia is not a member of any political-military alliances today. True, we have an alliance within the CSTO, but we do not see this as a military alliance. This is a political bloc.But we are interested in making our voice heard in Europe. We do not participate in all of the European institutions. We do not take part in NATO, and we are not a member of the European Union, so we would like to have a forum where we could discuss all the different...
