In Moscow Russian officials said the Guardian revelation that US spies had intercepted top-secret communications of Dmitry Medvedev at a G20 summit in London in April 2009 would further harm the struggling US-Russia relationship and cast a shadow over the G8 summit in Northern Ireland on Monday and Tuesday.

Igor Morozov, a senator in Russia's Federation Council, the upper house of parliament, suggested that the Obama administration's attempts to improve relations were clearly insincere: "2009 was the year the Russian-American 'reset' was announced. At the same time US special services were listening to Dmitry Medvedev's phonecalls."

10. Sorry Monkie, don't take my respose personally.

[Monkie]

13. its not personal at all, it made for a amusing exchange

but technically speaking, for a while after the collapse of the USSR and before putin came to power the two nations could be classed as allies? if raping the natural resources and exporting the profits of that nation can be called being allies?

i didnt think you said anything stupid, it was the distinguished gentleman from NY i was mocking

2. Russia never spies on anyone.

We should be ashamed of ourselves.
