MOSCOW — Russia’s new president, Dmitri A. Medvedev, less swaggering than his predecessor but as touchy about criticism from abroad, said in an interview that an America in “essentially a depression” was in no position to lecture other countries on how to conduct their affairs.
With soaring oil revenues bolstering the Russian economy and Kremlin confidence, Mr. Medvedev brushed aside American criticism of his country’s record on democracy and human rights. He also said that a revived Russia had a right to assume a larger role in a world economic system that he suggested should no longer be dominated by the United States.
If that’s the way he feels I suggest his country put down the vodka and get in the game.

I have met a ton of Russians in their 20s and 30s, men and women. They come to the club to dance and are very friendly. They are here on temporary visas and most of them work as au pairs for wealthy families. The work is not easy. But it beats fucking living in Russia! ALL of these 'KIDS' have one thing in common -- When their visas expire THEY DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO RUSSIA!
I'll give the guy credit, even he knows what sorry ass organization to use to get his message out totally unchallenged.
As far as giving other countries advise, we are still a generation ahead of his azzbackwards nation.
