A comment on dealing with Russia. Ex-foreign minister Fischer still lives in a Cold War era. He considers the breakup of the USSR in the beginning of 1990's as a triumph of the Western democracy. Unfortunately, nobody has won. According to many academic sources, world conflicts after the end of Cold War only intensified. It's a huge mistake to wish Russia "to be down on its knees" or treat it as "complicated" rather than equal partner given its capabilities and weight on the international arena; and this goes regardless of the energy prices.
