On the contentious issue of missile defence, which has divided
Russia and the United States in the past, Putin said he hoped the
United States would not renege on its promise to scrap plans for an
anti-missile system in central Europe.
"We are being guided by what the head of the American state is
saying," Putin said. "He said there would be no anti-missile shield in
Europe. We are satisfied by this statement, and to make assumptions
what happens next is not quite right."
Is there anyone
who reads that statement and doesn't feel that Putin and the Russians are
daring President Obama to 'renege' ? All of Obama's promises come with expiration dates as we've seen, but something tells me the Russians have nothing to worry about from Obama. All of this just in time for Russia to announce it's '
First-Use' policy for nukes, too. Well played, Obama. Well played.
Obama decided to abandon Eastern Europe for the hope (heh) of getting Russia on board for sanctions against Iran. Obama was played by the Russians on this as well:
BEIJING (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned major
powers on Wednesday against intimidating Iran and said talk of
sanctions against the Islamic Republic over its nuclear programme was
"premature".
"
There is no need to frighten the Iranians," Putin told reporters in
Beijing after a meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation.
Isn't it nice of Putin to be so accommodating of the Iranians feelings? Is there anyone else who might read this who honestly feels the Iranians are "frightened" of anyone, especially Obama? The Russians didn't even have to slip a roofie into Obama's drink to bend him over like they have.
Pathetic.
