| Pravda On "Who Suits Russia The Most"

Pravda has an interesting position piece on the question of who—Bush or Kerry—will best suit Russian interests. From the conclusion:

In America it is customary to fight till the end. Judging by the pre-election rush, this race is unlike any other.

While we still have to wait for the outcome, one thing is clear: the new president, whoever he may be, will be interested in Russia only to some degree. Both candidates will want basically the same from Moscow. They would most likely ask us to stop our relations with such countries as Iran and would also urge us to support any American initiatives. In addition, both Bush and Kerry will most likely agitate Kremlin to construct an oil pipeline stretching from Siberia and straight to the Murmansk seaport. According to the US ministry of energy, in this case Russia could easily become a potential rival to the Arab countries in the sphere of American oil supply.

Overall, Russia should stop worrying about the US presidential elections. We”ve got out own problems and neither Bush nor Kerry will be able to solve them.
