This is just a snippet from YT I found, but ABC in the link have the story, The WH's response, and the video of the whole exchange.

The exchange:

President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it's important for him to give me space.

President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…

President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.

President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

Ah, such sweet promises, Mr President.

 

I'm not exactly sure I'm understanding the consequences here, but I know when I (half ass listen) to the snippets about it on the new, they keep saying it in conjunction with Russia's nuclear (Nu-clear!) capabilities.

Im a bit confused as to why a presidents aim to want to keep his country at peace and his people undead is such a bad thing. But then we did invade Iraq for no plausible reason at all. Maybe people are still on a "oh shit! War is fucking cool kick".

I did see one of the GOP candidates saying this was an alarming development tho.

But I seriously think that this GOP candidate is a far more alarming development that Obama getting re-elected for fucks sake.

 

Nice post!

But the issue with many of the GOP candidates, they still think it's Cold War Soviet Union...which Russia's only a part of it and the iron curtain is long gone.

 

..... Where you been, babe?

In Russia, Putin allies sharpen anti-American attacks ahead of elections

February, 2012, MOSCOW — A nasty spate of anti-Americanism set off by Vladimir V. Putin has grown into waves of attacks aimed at the new American ambassador and Russian opposition leaders, raising questions about the future of U.S.-Russian relations.......

C'mon BBW, smell the
(You too, Ali)

 

As I said, the GOP candidates insists on thinking that the iron curtain is still alive and well, which is far from the truth.

I never implied that Russia's government isn't corrupt. I'm well aware of that. The U.S. support questionable government entities from all over the world. What else is new?

 

NO they DO NOT. This is what I dislike about extremists for their parties. We in the middle get to endure the absurdities of the accusations.

Just corrupt? That's more than corruption. Read the articles.

Obama and his promises. So what do you think...lying through his teeth?,
or genuine that he'll put the fix in favors for Vladimir above America's best interests?...You tell me.

 

I'm sorry. I should rephrase it. Romney thinks this is still the Cold War and he should jump away from that mindset, the same way how Mormonism hasn't truly evolved and their changes are only for their personal means.

And as far as the articles are concerned, I'm WELL AWARE of the events that unfolded in the elections in Russia and yes, I could safely assume it's rigged. Or MAYBE, there simply weren't any powerful political influences in that country since United Russia has been in power for so long, coupled with a great deal of apathy within the nation.

As for the Syrian conflict? It's expected that Russia simply wants to maintain good ties with a country that serves as their economic benefactor, as do China as well. It's no different when the U.S. wanting to do some trading with countries of mutual interests. Remember the whole Gulf War fiasco? Let alone the situation with Iran and Iraq decades ago? No different. Geopolitical affairs are highly complicated, but the simple gameplan with any nation is "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours."

And the Russian envoy in the article? It's one man that's being focused on as opposed to an entire government entity that partook in a government position. Besides, it's a two year old article and there hasn't been any talks of it since.

And lastly, the anti-American fervor? It's just politics and quite frankly, no politician abroad would be that stupid to actually believe or act on tyrannical tendencies, especially when there are economic ties. Besides, Russia's in no position, nor power to even try and cause a ruckus of that nature. Economy is the real problem and no need to overspend on any unnecessary altercations.

And lastly, to answer your question...like any (practical) politician, Obama simply wants the best possible solution and Russian relations will be a start.

 

Well ty for you respondent viewpoint, BBW. A good read!

 

I think BBW's name includes the word 'wise' for a reason.

Cuz he pretty much is.
and stuff

 

I'm vain like that.

 

Oh please stop, both of you. Frankly, I always thought it stood for wise-ass.
