You do realize how close we came to war with Russia in Kosovo? That's why the Russians don't want Hillary. In fact, I think all their blathering is a way to send a message to Hillary, that there will be no Kosovos this time.
@dfwgator The Russians don't want Bubbette! because they are WELL aware of the Clinton strong arm tactics and greed.
Go to the archives of the St.Petersburg Times (Russian) right before the G7 economic summit there that Clinton showed up for a week early,and see what they have to say.
ONE of the things they wrote about was missing supplies paid for with World Bank Grant money to buy food,heating oil,and clothes for the upcoming winter,and how the checks had been written and none of it had shown up.
Another that I remember well was tired to Tyson's Chicken. The Russian press (and our own press has NEVER been as free as the Russian press of the early 90's) wrote about how up to 40 percent of the Tyson's Chicken ordered and paid for with World Bank money was arriving in Russia rotten,and how when the Russian officials threatened Tyson with no more World Grant chicken buys unless they refunded the money paid for spoiled chicken and threatened to not order any more from them unless they complied,Clinton showed up and threatened Yeltsin with a total shut down of World Bank money unless the Russian government renewed the Tyson Chicken contract.
Don't forget,at that time the typical Russia was honestly on the verge of facing possible starvation or freezing to death that winter if the World Bank money supply was closed down. There were old people sleeping on park benches in the snow in November when I was there. They had rented out their apartments to "the new mafiya" in order to get the money to eat. Just a year or two earlier 1 Ruble had the purchasing power of 1 US Dollar because the Soviets kept it artificially pumped up so the people would feel secure,and suddenly,literally overnight,it took over 5,000 Rubles to buy ONE Dollar's worth of goods. You can imagine what that did to life saving in a country where that was the only investment that was legal.
