"West is going to have to live with it". I hope so. Enough of west's meddling and unilateralism- world is sick of it. Mugabe is committing horrible crimes, but how can selective punitive measures and selective amnesia persuade the world that west wants to act in humanitarian, and not own, interests

Mr Medvedev abandoned no statements he signed under because Kremlin position is: both sides of opposing parties in Zimbabwe are 'individuals responsible for the violence'. On the contrary US and UK think Mr Mugabe the only one to blame in countries' people sufferings.

UK was suggesting a short time ago a military intervention in Zimbabwe. I guess this qualify as interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign country. Just like the big dog (US in Iraq and Afganistan) the pudle wants a bone for himself. If this is the "New World Order" I rather prefer chaos.

I fully agree with Russia's point of view.The USA is -since over eigth years-behaving in unitaleral mode and trying to bully everybody into following their lead.The UK is a lap dog in this process.You can not expect to constantly antagonize Russia and bug China and expect their cooperation.

There is little doubt that Russia’s position was the result of Condoleezza Rice’s visit to the Czech Republic and to Georgia earlier this week. And today the US and the UK were forced to recognize the fact of close political cooperation between Russia and China.
