Why Don't You Meet Osama Bin Laden, Invite Him To Brussels Or To The White House And Engage In Talks, Ask Him What He Wants And Give It To Him So He Leaves You In Peace?

Here We Have 40 Million Russian Citizens Involved In The Sphere Of Agriculture One Way Or Another. This Is Very Important.

Concerning Our Possibilities On The International Financial Markets, The Sanctions Are Severely Harming Russia. But The Biggest Harm Is Currently Caused By The Decline Of The Prices For Energy. We Suffer Dangerous Revenue Losses In Our Export Of Oil And Gas, Which We Can Partly Compensate For Elsewhere. But The Whole Thing Also Has A Positive Side: If You Earn So Many Petrodollars - As We Once Did - That You Can Buy Anything Abroad, This Slows Down Developments In Your Own Country.

I Have Some Rules Of My Own. One Of Them Is Never To Regret Anything. Over Time, I Came To The Conclusion That This Was The Right Thing To Do. As Soon As You Start Regretting And Looking Back, You Start To Sour. You Always Have To Think About The Future. You Always Have To Look Ahead. Of Course You Have To Analyze Your Past Mistakes, But Only So That You Can Learn And Correct The Course Of Your Life.
