were published on we. of course are reading them some of those cables. of course you can treat everything because it's a lot of documents that became if they lable despite. the fact that there are classified secret i take a philosophical view on the situation of course it's interesting to read the things that diplomats ride you know to to provide the floor in front of information to their capitals but in some cases of course we have serious questions for example this situation with the declassified or other leaked documents. that indicate that nato planned military action to repel a russian. attack on the both two countries for example of

course we paid special attention to that. for two reasons primarily first as. we can see from the leaked documents that these plans were made last december exactly. when we held our refer east ministerial meeting of the russian yto council after a long break. and we made a decision to move on. after the deadlock that we had because of nato's position. after the two thousand and eight crisis in the caucasus. so on the one hand at the ministerial meeting nato agreed to develop important documents with us to develop our partnership. and on the other hand they may disagree decision to defend themselves against us. and.

secondly we see that these plans were approved in lisp on. where there was the russian nato summit and where president and thirty of them together with nato leaders approved documents calling us strategic partners. so we have this question when nato is sincere when it's openly talking with us about partnership or when it's secretly deciding behind closed doors to protect against us to defend against us so we ask those questions and we're waiting for answers and i think we are entitled to that. and staying with the subject of wiki leaks a payment processing company in iceland is planning to sue credit card companies who refuse to allow donations to the site visa and master card have both been

straight in government provides far more support and resistance to those who think if they happen one of the concerns that many of us have is that if this extradited from sweden that he will face a political trial rather than a legal trial and we are being attempt to silence him for a very long time once theory is charged so we very much opposed it i very much oppose that possibility but i think it's a real risk and the truth is that if you knock out what you leak that julian is songe tomorrow someone else replacing the genie is out of the bottle. if you want to know more about the effects wiki leaks revelations and how they've been having the effect around the globe you can always find out more on our website that's on dot com. including a website. secrets of the russia. dissipates difficult discussions and you can see his full interview online.
