kallend 2,182 #1 November 3, 2012 Unless you can make money out of it. www.nytimes.com/2012/11/02/us/politics/matt-romney-goes-to-russia-for-business.html While in Moscow, Mr. [Matt] Romney told a Russian known to be able to deliver messages to Mr. Putin that despite the campaign rhetoric, his father [Mitt] wants good relations if he becomes president, according to a person informed about the conversation. I guess he expects "flexibililty" after the election... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,602 #5 November 3, 2012 Gorbachev specifically mentioned this comment during his speech the other night. He said that it wasn't well-thought-out for the foreign market. It's fine to say that it wasn't intended for the foreign market, but, well, everyone hears everything. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Throughout nearly the entirety of World War II we were in negotiations with both Germany & Japan; but mostly through intermediaries. Sort of like Claude Rains in CASABLANCA.
