"He's not afraid of the Russians"

Not knowing your definition of afraid, it is hard to comment. But, he has not "screwed" the russians in any way. Rusoro is not russian.

2nd point. The deal is being negotiated with Hugo as we speak. We don't know what the deal will be. Like I said yesterday, we know what is being proposed but we don't know the results. One last thing, if a reasonable solution is not reached, the CRCC will not mine, therefore, Hugo can't "screw" the chinese. However, since CRCC is state owned, the Chinese can "screw" Hugo.
