These are 'Russians', Jim.

Our International Space Partners.

The cold war is over. It's dead, Jim.

I don't know.

Russia, along with France, voted to obstruct the U.S. efforts to ensure
Iraq didn't pass along weapons of mass destruction to terrorists.

Russia keeps pushing for the right to ship fissionable material to Iran.

Russia indiscriminately attacked civilians in Chechnya, which helped
Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization al-Qaeda to make inroads there,
since no one else seems to be willing to defend the Chechen people.

And there is reason to believe that organized crime in Russia has an
influence on the government.

The government in Belarus protects criminals who defraud American
computer owners and telephone companies.

Other countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States appear to be
operating as dictatorships.

So I think it's premature to conclude that Russia has a government that
really believes in freedom, and is in harmony with the United States and
the rest of the democratic world. It still seems to see itself as in
rivalry and conflict with the United States.
