In an extensive speech to German politicians and businessmen during his visit to Germany, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev may have created a major impression among the Germans. Simply put, he urged German political powerhouse and business minds not to allow America put the missiles that will unleash a massive missile cold war.

“Everyone needs to show restraint not to aggravate the situation on any issue. One needs to break the vicious circle of single-handed actions and reactions to those actions. One has to turn down the attempts of speeding events up and to run the policy of facts that have already taken place. It would be good to take a break and look around to see where we have found ourselves and where are going, whether it goes about Kosovo, the expansion of NATO or the missile defense issue,” Dmitry Medvedev said in Berlin, Interfax reports.

“It is very indicative that discrepancies with Russia are interpreted by many in the West from the point of view of the need to pull Russia’s stance to that of the West. We do not need to be hugged. We are seeking after truly equal relations and nothing more,” Medvedev said.

“Some simply tell us: stop being so spiky and obstinate in international affairs, the problems of the democratic development and observation of human rights – these are all derivatives and we will turn a blind eye on them. They cite other countries as an example, with which they act exactly like that. That suits those countries. I would like to say that that does not suit us because we consider human rights to be a basic fundamental value, which must not be traded for anything. We are open to a composed, honest and reciprocal dialogue on any subjects,” the Russian president emphasized.

“Other structures, which are programmed to reproduce the bloc type of policy, put obstacles on the OSCE’s way. NATO does not seem to be able to find the new point of its existence. They believe that their new mission is global, that is why they are acting to the detriment of the UN Security Council’s prerogatives, attracting new members,” Medvedev said.
