Government and you are part of the u. S. Government who seem to think that its not that important in to the extent that its important it is not prepared to be very helpful. Do we need partnershpartnersh ip with russia and if so why . Guest we certainly do need partnership with russia and russia is still, i mean the United States and russia are the two remaining the rear superpowers in between us we cannot really resolve a number of the worlds major problems if we dont Work Together.
