Don't you think your goverment should accept the help, not cuz realy need it, but use this occasion to open positive dialog and shake hands with "enemy " ?! Would this make US safer than bilions of $ wasted in homeland security ?
-

Accept the help.
I have decided to give cash to some sort of program in the near future when one is set up to give those that has lost their home a new one or jobs or anything. The imidate help is pretty much beeing taken care of, its the future for those left home and jobless that worries me.
Is my cash good enough or should I just skip it?

Skip it, but thatnks for the offer. They've already approved $200,000,000,000.00 as the "first step" to rebuilding a city that is going to get flattened next week/month/year/decade when the next summer storm comes ashore. Your generous contribution will just be lost in the flood of tax dollars already enroute.

have you taken any americans and held them hostage lately?
have you based any of our enemies ballistic missle platforms in your country lately?
If you answer yes to either of the above questions then skip it, otherwise do what makes your soul happy :D

We could all just meet and sit in a circle in a big field, hold hands and sing peace songs. Oh the healing. Give peace a chance.
Ride on the peace train.......oooH awww ooohh awww
Incense and peppermints................
But to answer your question...screw Fidel and Iran.

I thought that US government accepted blankets, tents, generators, totally 40 tons of other goods from Russia, 2xIL-76.
I only wonder why they didn't accept assistance from Emercom rescue teams. Maybe because they are still afraid?... Or because they think that Emercom professionals will stay in US as illegal immigrants? What a nonsence...
It's a shame they sent Emercom ILs, not VVS. Could be great to see a plane with Red Stars unloading aid to poor Americans who can't afford blankets and tents.
There are too many things that I fail to understand :(

It`s not the fact that they are "poor Americans who can't afford blankets and tents.". It is the fact that it is a disaster area. Get it?

Of coarse we should. It will show some of us Americans that they are "helpful, compassionate" people too.
We won't though. Just think of the wasted tax dollars of our propaganda machine! By God, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

I get it. Some people don't, or why did that two IL-76 stay loaded in Ramenskoe airfield for 10 days?
In plain words: It seems to me that accepting blankets and tents is just an act of "being polite", while for some reasons US refused to accept professional help.
BTW, Russian epidemiological service has some experience too, I wonder why assistance in this field wasn't offered. Or it was, but it's too complicated for media to comprehend?

Millions of dollars?! LOL!!! :lol If there were any real money sent - the only condition was to dispose of newest and modern subs, not the rusty crap from the 1950s. Sorry, I don't believe in American charity, I have some reasons.
What makes me wonder is why US asks for tents and blankets, as if you don't have enough of them in Army stock.
Just told this to a co-worker, he started to describe warehouses of a an internal troops division where he served in 1990-92... They still had stuff made in XIX century, like showels and other hard stuff, they had enough tents for three such divisions, blankets and sleeping bags too, etc.

Im sorry Boroda, but for the first time i have seen you are dead wrong. The money we send go directly to scrapping the oldest or those in the worst conditon first. Living so near to the "nukular das boots" perhaps gives us a different perspectiv than the USA'ers tho.

we have plenty of blankets and tents here... if we need more we will buy em.

Buy some grain. Make some bread or something usefull like that. Nothing from Russia comes without an expected price tag.
We`ll struggle by somway. :)

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran offered to send the United States 20 million barrels of crude oil in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina if Washington waived trade sanctions.
Is this the "help" you speak of?
-
I heard Kuwait was going to send us $450M worth of crude for free in order to ease shortages from Gulf (ours not theirs) production. 450 Million dollars seems like a low price for them to pay to have their country back to me.
-
Yes Edbert.. you should write to Kuwait and complain that your country only gets 450.000.000,- $ worth. :D
You serious?
-
I think ed has a point. People died to get their country free from a madman. They would have nothing if we didn't free them.
I don't expect anything from anyone but...

I am aware about Norvegian help. Norway also supports Arctic research institutes and scientific organisations. You really help, not talk about it. !
I am talking about American "assistance". They once said they want to pay for scrapping nuclear subs, and now they keep boasting as if I only live because they paid me money.

A little bit, yes. I was not really complaining though, sorry if it came accross that way. But the only reason there IS a Kuwait today was because of GWI (and I know that was not purely US action).
In a country like Kuwait we are not talking about tax dollars, they are royalty (literally), and rolling in cash (literally), that they have only becuase we gave them thier kingdom back (literally). When it was time for them to defend their borders they folded like a cheap napkin.

If I were Bush I would let call Cuba's bluff and accept every one of those doctors.
I would bring them the the US and place them with the hurricane relief agencies and let them help. And after the mess is cleared up I would tour them around the US and offer them instant citizenship.
After all where else can you get 1500 trained docters willing to to relief work for free?
What a great bonus that would be.
Of course then next time a hurrican hits Cuba all hell would break loose but that is Castro's problem.

Ha, I thought the same thing about American "assistance". All the money we got from the US went on destruction of our ecomonics and defence.
BTW, Russian Emercom never, never takes any money for assistance or materials. Maybe it's hard for you to understand, but it's the way we live here. And they never think like "We were at war with Turkey for 200 years, and they deployed American ballistic missiles aimed at us, so we'll not help them after the earthquake". :rolleyes:

Free Doctors (paraphrased) :D
I work in the industry, you would not BELEIVE the red tape required for an MD to practise in the USA. It is simply called "credentialing" but my employer has an entire department set up where folks work full time just to get the RNs CRNAs and MDs eligible to work at a hospital. We had one applicant who was here legally from Mexico who had been a practising MD there for over 20 years, he is not able to work in our hospitals as anything more than an RN. I'd expect a Cuban MD to qualify for janitor with this system.

shrewd, would be to say 'yes' and accomplish something the cia has failed to do on numerous occasions, taking fidel out with a massive coronary.

Gosh I`m so terribly sorry.
Let me break out the ole violin and play a quick session of My Heart Bleeds For You.
I mean what were we thinking sending all that monetary support and grain to feed the people of mother Russia when at the time they couldn`t pour pee out of a boot with directions wrote on the bottom in big block letters?
How dare we.

Yea, there`s always some good that comes out of every situation. :)

That's pretty good... Soviet russia had no part in it's own inevitable economic colapse?
