To win this war, we have been forced into a strategic compromise which will most certainly offend the Russians.
In a reality, what we should be doing is having quiet diplomacy with the Russians to convince them that it's in their self-interest to have a more stable Middle East because trade enriches us all.
We know the Russian methods exactly. I haven't the faintest intention of being taken prisoner by the Russians.
I think oil prices are down for two reasons. One is, there is a lot of supply. There is a lot of supply because the U. S. now produces a lot of oil and there is a lot of supply because the Saudis seem to want to produce a lot of oil, maybe to punish the Iranians and the Russians.
The Russians have turned out to be the largest divided nation in the world nowadays. Is that not a problem?
My family fears that the Russians will assassinate me.
I think it was good, we wanted to win no matter if it was 1-0 or 8-2, we got to win. The Russians are a great team, but so are we. So we've gotta prepare the way we can and play the way we can tomorrow. I think that every game, every practice together we've continue to get better. It's tough in these short tournaments you gotta bond quickly and you've gotta have good chemistry; so hopefully now we can build on that and keep going.
Donald Trump has encouraged Russians to cyber-hack the United States to give him an edge in an election. And that just shows how serious and seriously misguided Donald Trump is.
When it comes to culture, religion and mentality, most Russians identify with Europe.
Everybody has always underrated the Russians. They keep their own secrets alike from foe and friends.
Most correspondents came from the former colonial powers - there were British, French, and a lot of Italians, because there were a lot of Italian communities there. And of course there were a lot of Russians.
The thought that we're in competition with Russians or with Chinese is all a mistake, and trivial. We are one species, with a world to win.
I do support the effort to investigate for crimes, war crimes committed by the Syrians and the Russians and try to hold them accountable.
The Russians need to understand. I think they've been treating it as almost a probing, how far would we go, how much would we do.
I can see why the Russians love Robert Burns, I think that Russians and Koreans have a very similar outlook to Scots.
If Bush had read all the documents about the Russians and British in Afghanistan in the 19th century, he would have not done what he did in the 21st. He would have understood how difficult it was to control this territory. He probably didn't read them.
Since the days of Peter the Great, Russians have been maybe Europeans who didn't share in the enlightenment and the reformation, or are they Mongol Asians with the European veneer. And they've gone back and forth.
We Russians are already living, not getting ready to live.
You know what the Russians are saying is that they have an historic relationship with - with Crimea, and they're saying the Crimean legislature has voted now to have a referendum, and they're saying what the government in Kiev did was illegal.
Fischer wanted to give the Russians a taste of their own medicine
