Russian Forum In Washington Fomented A Scandal: The Russian-American “Reload” Revived Atmosphere Of The Cold War
Russia’s Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak complained in a speech that economic relations between Russia and the US were “immature” on account of the Jackson-Vanick amendment that banned the sale of sophisticated technologies to Russia and unwillingness of the United States to “develop cooperation across the Pacific”.

The catastrophic earthquake and tsunami in Japan, meanwhile, has put paid to the already weak conviction that nuclear power could be safe within the EU. On top of this has come a sharp increase in the number of refugees fleeing the North African disturbances which only highlights the lack of an effective strategy within Europe for integrating those who arrived before.
