The real US & NATO policy until Obama Presidency has been very different--a relentless, winner-take-all exploitation of Russia's post-1991 weakness. Accompanied by broken American promises, condescending lectures and demands for unilateral concessions, it has been even more aggressive and uncompromising than was Washington's approach to USSR. Consider its defining elements as they have unfolded--with fulsome support in both American political parties, influential newspapers and policy think tanks--since the early 1990s: §_A growing military encirclement of Russia, on and near its borders, by US and NATO bases, which are already ensconced or being planned in at least half the fourteen other former Soviet republics, from the Baltics and Ukraine to Georgia, Azerbaijan and the new states of Central Asia. The result is a US-built reverse iron curtain and the remilitarization of American-Russian relations. §_A tacit (and closely related) US denial that Russia has any legitimate national interests outside its own territory, even in ethnically akin or contiguous former republics such as Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia. How else to explain, to take a bellwether example, the thinking of Richard Holbrooke? While roundly condemning the Kremlin for promoting a pro-Moscow government in neighboring Ukraine, where Russia has centuries of shared linguistic, marital, religious, economic and security ties, Holbrooke before and Joe Biden now declares that far-away Slav nation part of "our core ...
SPRINGFIELD April 14, 2010. Governor Pat Quinn today signed into law the most significant public pension reform bill in our nations history that will save taxpayers billions of dollars while protecting the retirement of state workers. From the moment I took office, I have worked to overhaul Illinois pension system to provide relief to taxpayers while protecting the savings of Illinois retirees. This effort was realized when the General Assembly passed a major and unprecedented public pension reform bill, and I am proud to sign it into law. I congratulate House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton for their leadership on this crucial issue. I also commend members of the General Assembly for their bi-partisan support and for helping to bring in a new era of greater fiscal responsibility and accountability to Illinois, said Governor Quinn.
