If you look at what is going on within Russia, my guess is that the Russians are using the pretext of cooperation on the WOT to cover their return to totalitarianism. They are also colluding with Islamic terrorist sponsoring regimes and arming just about everyone of the publicly defined 'enemies of the US'. In other words what you heard was disinfo from a Russian placed spy or asset. Turn them in NOW.

Yeah?:). If Russia will decide to return to totalitarism then she won't ask anyone or disgise her actions. Everyone might see it clear.
Now I see some authoritarism of Putin. But very very far from Stalin' totalitarism. Believe me I know what I say.
