Partners

Its an intersting idea, to be a partner to something. the roles and changing roles of partnership. Particularly looking at some of the changing roles and partnerships currently occuring in the political world. Tony Blair is out of parliment and instead of finding anew George Brown BUsh partnership, Sarkozy has brought France back into a state of friendship, once again the US may eat French Fries...maybe. Russia as always a confusing political entity, especially for those of us who live and have been trained in the possibility of capitalism, are ever confused by their motives and their moves interntaionally. Are they past the Stalinist communist movements of the early 20th century, or the strange (for me in the wst) Cold War USSR? Is Putin's Russia still pursuing the same inhumane devotion to a great leader, a ruler to who you owe your life, who has every right to plague and annex not only his own people but the people of other nations.

I feel as though Russia is increasingly in the news as the underhand in the undermining of eastern european stability. Could it be they are seeking to sweep in and annex the whole area in hopes of expanding their empire? Im just not sure...i think Russia maybe an necessary stepping stool to understanding north Korea (a current fascination of mine)..

Anyway, im intrigued and will have to debate more about the possibilities and properties of partnership.
