ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev blamed "aggressive" United States policies on Saturday for the global financial crisis and said Moscow's growing economic muscle could be part of the solution.

With its past as a leading global wheat producer, Russia was ready for "constructive joint action" to overcome the food problem, he said.

Moscow could also help with another problem -- a lack of liquid investable assets because of disappointment with the U.S. dollar. Russia would soon adopt a plan to become a global financial centre and make the ruble a regional reserve currency, Medvedev said.

The Russian leader said that recent Kremlin moves to liberalize the domestic gas market and reduce taxes on the oil sector would help stabilize global energy markets. Russia is the world's biggest gas producer and its second-biggest oil exporter.

1. Guess Putin really saw what was in Bush's eyes when

he visited his ranch. They are all the elite few who rule and play this little game of Empire. I have no doubt Medvedev is a member of the globalism plan.

4. He looked into Bush's eyes and saw

that the world was in very deep shit!

7. He looked into Bush's eye and saw a damn fool. It's to bad the American voters are to damn dumb to

have seen it.

[Xenotime]

9. They did see it. It's just * sole it and we haven't gotten it back.

15. Unlike Bush, Putin is no light-weight "Grandpa got into college"

trust fund punk, Putin excelled through Party ranks with his own considerable talents. You have to believe that he knew that Bush was merely a cipher, destined to making America financially dependent on its former enemies.

2. Very Intresting.

3. Yep, their right!

Bush's pick as Fed finance guy, ties Fed Reserve to bailing out Bear, Stearns, plus continuous dropping interest to save investment buddies, devalued the dollar.

6. The Bush family hates us. We hate them.

They use us to get their power and wealth. What "sucker oners" eh?

5. Medvedev, * , King Abdullah, Olmert, there's really no difference.

All a group of elites, (sociopaths).

[SergeyDovlatov]

17. Oh there is a big difference

Russia understands what the war is, being occupied twice by a foreign country in the last 200 years.
So, it is not suprising that Russia is skeptical of using war as an important instrument of foreign policy.

8. Medvedev is right.

Can't argue with the truth....

[Demeter]

10. Too Bad Medvedev Didn't Tell It Like It IS: FRAUD

Guess they are practicing diplomacy in Russia--they could maybe give Condi some lessons?

13. You know the old saying....A fool and his money are soon parted

but in this case a fool and his countries money are soon parted. Three cheers for Bushitler.

14. Possible....probable?

16. America, no - Bush, YES!

[Deja Q]

18. Wow. Most "US Corporations" that offshore to the likes of them are praised.

Last I recall, Russia is a new I.T. hot spot.

They can blame themselves too, as can any other country for taking jobs offshored by US companies?

Or is that trying to have it both ways?

They're just trying to stir up the pot. All they're doing is acting like they've been smoking it instead.
