But they are about PEACE FIRST, remember that, Amurkns!
"Still, commission members said they were "deeply concerned by the gap between the current US-Russian relationship and the level of cooperation that the United States needs with Russia in order to advance vital American interests."
And if THOSE INTERESTS run COUNTER to RUSSIAN INTERESTS, what are they to do? Drop down and butt-prop, right?
The ARROGANCE of AmeriKan planners is ASTONISHING!!!
And the interests aren't even American. They are those of the AmeriKan EMPIRE!

"Get closer to Moscow, panel urges; Cites US need to collaborate, avoid 'slide to hostility'" by Brian Knowlton, International Herald Tribune | March 17, 2009
WASHINGTON - A high-level bipartisan commission recommended yesterday that the Obama administration reach out to Russia in a number of ways, putting NATO membership for Georgia and Ukraine on hold and taking "a new look" at the planned missile shield in eastern Europe, possibly even collaborating with Moscow on it.
The recommendations were made as the administration has said it wants to "reset" the critically important but strained relationship. The report also came weeks before President Obama is to meet his Russian counterpart, Dmitri A. Medvedev, at the Group of 20 summit meeting in London on April 2.
For now, the bipartisan panel concluded in a 30-page report, Moscow is not hostile to the United States, "at least not yet." Even if relations break down, it said, a Russia weakened by the drop in oil prices lacks the will and resources for a new Cold War-style confrontation.
Still, commission members said they were "deeply concerned by the gap between the current US-Russian relationship and the level of cooperation that the United States needs with Russia in order to advance vital American interests."
*************
The fall in oil prices should make Russia more open to Western entreaties for cooperation, the report said.
Makes you wonder about that manipulation of market, huh? CUI BONO?
It urged efforts to improve collaboration on Iran, Afghanistan and the global economy, using as enticements a push to drop trade barriers and support Russian membership in the World Trade Organization....
Pfffft! Screw the WTO!
And LOOK at the GLOBALISTS who STACKED the THING!!!
The panel was headed by Gary Hart, a former Democratic senator from Colorado, and Chuck Hagel, a former Republican senator from Nebraska. Its members include two former national security advisers, Brent Scowcroft and Robert C. McFarlane; Sam Nunn, a former Georgia senator experienced in US-Russia issues; and Lee H. Hamilton, a former chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Yup, BOOK-ENDING the groups are 9/11 COVER-UP COMMISSIONER HAMILTON and Gary "The son has a chance for a NEW WORLD ORDER after 9/11" Hart!!!!
The recommendation on Georgia and Ukraine would represent a shift.... The commission report said that the new administration should "accept that neither Ukraine nor Georgia is ready for NATO membership" but that it should also work with NATO allies to find other ways "to demonstrate a commitment to their sovereignty."
Which means supply them with weapons and spy teams to carry out agitations and false-flag operations. Of course, if the Russians do that in our hemisphere, Washington gets its panties all in a bunch!
