Hi,

Recently, the French President took a trip to Washington to say to the US congress how he "admired John Wayne". I won't elaborate.

Then John Mc Cain came to Paris and that same President promised to send more French troops to Afghanistan.

Next, the French President is preparing an alliance with Britain to develop Nuclear technology, build and export nuclear plants with the British and only the British.

He baptized a new submarine with sixteen nuclear missiles on board ("the Terrible", by the way).

I have just one thing to say : My God ! What does Germany think about that ?

Regards,

Frederic (Paris)

whereas Russia is on the rise : A new middle class, Oil, Gas, Coal, Gold, Diamonds, A new banking, trading, commercial and economic booming system.

4/ (and most important) : Look at your geographical maps : Kaliningrad, Saint Petersburg, Moscow and most of the big Russian cities ARE in EUROPE.

5/ A bit of history : The forefathers of the white Russians where the "Varegs", Vikings coming to the region of Moscow around the tenth century A.D.

Russians Are europeans, and live mostly on the European continent.

That is to say : Most of the modern european Russians have SWEDISH ancestors : Sweden happens to be a member of the U.E. and is getting ready to join the € zone and the Schengen agreement.

6/ USA are...
