Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on Monday warned the United States against unilateralism in global affairs and hailed the Kremlin's invitation for Hamas to visit Moscow, criticizing the West for trying to shun the organization.
Gorbachev said the United States had failed to use the end of the Cold War for purposes of global development and abused its position as the world's only superpower.
"There is only one superpower now and it doesn't know what to do with its status," Gorbachev said at a meeting with foreign reporters. "As a result, we got Yugoslavia and Iraq, and the situation has only got worse."
Gorbachev also strongly backed Russian President Vladimir Putin's invitation to Hamas to visit Moscow, saying that the move offers an opportunity to draw the it into the peace process.
"It offers a chance," Gorbachev said. "It must be supported by common efforts."
Gorbachev criticized the US approach to Hamas' victory, saying that attempts to isolate the group that swept the elections were a manifestation of "double standards."
Your daddy's Gorby
Much like former Presidents Carter and Clinton, I wish some people would just go away.
Gorbachev: Still the global spokesperson for evil causes.
A vampire is missing his familiar vampirias, only to be expected.
He's still alive?
I'm sure he and Putin talk daily
gorby ping
Last time I checked old Gorby did not live in Russia. I think it is time we send him back
"Worst birthmark EVER!!
Gorbachev is moving to the U.S. to run for Congress as a DemoRat.
Gorgy lives in San Francisco, and so what do you expect?
ROFL! Hey dude get that Tomato spot fixed then we will talk. Until then my eyes are fixated on your ummm ....spot and I cant hear a thing you are saying.
F**k Gorbachov.
Does anyone care what this guy says or thinks? Why is this even news?
Old Wine Stain is probably the only modern political leader who is a bigger loser than Jimmy Carter. At least the country didn't collapse out from under Carter (though it came close). That fact that it didn't says more for American than Carter, however. If Carter had been running the Soviet Union, they'd have had a coup attempt after his first year.
Gorby got an astounding 1% of the vote in the only unrigged election he was in.
EFF Gorbachev and the Socialist Utopia he rode in on.
"Why is this even news? "
Same reason Carter is.
