And they play it exactly the same way, with models and briefcases.

In other countries they have, and they adjust much quicker than our boys.  (Countries Quotes) Hours before the Georgian invasion, Russia had been working to secure a United Nations Security Council statement calling for a renunciation of force by both Georgia and South Ossetians.

Sometimes into places where people are going, Why are you doing that? .  (Countries Quotes) You will have Time, that rare and lovely gift that your Western countries have lost the more they have pursued it.  (Countries Quotes) It’s very difficult today for girls to become supermodels. There is a lot more competition, a lot of countries in the East have opened up so there are many more models than there were in the Nineties. Now they have to compete with famous actresses but also with, say, reality stars to be on the magazine covers.  (Countries Quotes) The power of women in the politics is a soft power.
