Nobody here thinks it is either, but comments like Boroda's make me wonder about them.. I googled his Comments on Georgia and cant fine any "serious" articles to support his "US will take all nessesary measures to protect Georgia from any agressor"

Unfortunately I didn't find any info on this in Western press. Rumsfeld's statements were so stupid that our Foreign Affairs ministry have sent a note to the US, saying that "we hope mr. Rumsfeld is not authorised to make such statements offically".

Another interesting fact: US sent weapons, advisors and instructors to teach Georgian armed forces, and the units trained and armed by Americans are now located against South Osetia...

Why does America need this? Supporting a regime that openly hosts terrorists and even uses Chechen gangs in South Osetia IMHO contradicts with the whole concept of "war on terrorism"

We should be friends, and such an alliance can be very effective, for mutual benefit, but some forces act against it All we need now is some signs of good will, not only usual bla-bla about "war on terror". You have to understand that when US gives political asylum to Chechen terrorists and US Department of State gives them payed jobs - it's hard to appreciate

What you'll say if Russia will send troops and planes to Cuba, build long-range radars there and "patrol Cuban and neighbouring airspace" with attack planes?

I don't think Norway is an enemy. Nor do most of the Russians, except some commie loonies.

Norway is in fact helping a lot to our Northern regions. AFAIK your country sponsors many Arctic research institutes. OTOH we have (or had?) Norvegian "observers" abroad our fishing fleet, who get more money then the whole crews, at least it's what I have heard 10 years ago, last time I was in Murmansk and on board of Russian seiner...

NATO is officially our "friend" now, but then please explain me why do they need air-force bases in Pribaltika, and why they need long-range radar facilities that control most of the North-West Russia airspace...? Now American forces are withdrawn from Germany towards our borders to Poland and Baltic states. Must be a sign of peacefull intentions?

Good.

Inspectors onboard russain fishing boats? Yes, the coastguard boards ships of all nationalities that ish in norwegian waters and check that they report correct ammounts and size of fish with respect to the quotas. There are no norwegians permamently onboard russian fishing boats. Im not suprised if the officers makes more money then the entire crew tho. The conscripts however does not.

I know that there has been some controversy over one of the radars we have up north (Globus II), but the russians now know that it is only there to track space objects and cant be used to track airplanes very far into russia (atleast not more than the "regular" airforce early warning radars. There are also russian airsearch radars on the Kola pennsula that can track planes deep into norwegian airspace.

In 1994 the seiner officer I talked to said they had Norwegian inspectors on board who watch for quotas, and they get $200 daily, more then the whole crew, and don't participate in routine work when even a captain is employed...

"I sell it for the same price I bought it" -  I heard it and don't have any proof except the words of that seaman.

Yes, they board and inspect. They don't stay onboard the entire time the fishing ship is at sea. 200$ a day for an officer in the coastguard sounds abit much, but that ofcouse depends on the exchange rate at the time. If the dollar is cheap vs norwegian currency and expensive vs russian rubles then it could be correct.

-edit- I made just under 75000$ one of the years i was in the navy so its sounds about right.
