President Obama and President Putin




From Pravda, a report from journalist Xavier Lerma:
"I think that the missile defense problem will not be solved if Obama is reelected or not," Putin. President Vladimir Putin has been aware of the fact that the US has been and will continue pointing missiles at Russia and surrounding it with military bases. He knew that the promises from Reagan to Gorbachev were broken in the 90's. He never expected to get treated better than the US treated the Native Americans. Even if Obama promised the moon Putin would not have believed him. So, why the meeting?

Two hours alone together and I'm sure Putin broke his smile and terrified Obama with facts Obama thought surely were known to him and his CIA. Revealing to Obama, "We know your plans, where your military and agents are located. WW3 will be on your head and legacy". Obama was faced with only saying he was not in charge and he had no choice. Cold hard facts and laying their cards on the table with the entire world at stake must have made 2 hours seem like 2 years to Obama.

Putin told the press,

"The United States has been following the path of creating its own missile defense for more than one year, and I do not see anything that could change its approach,"

He said the European Union, Russia and the United States should all cooperate in developing a missile shield:

"This means all three participants would jointly be building that system, and would be able to jointly assess threats, manage that system and make decisions on its use,"

He knows that will not happen but he continues to offer solutions to the US. Putin had already said a few days before the meeting, that an arms race had begun and that Russia had no choice. He can talk to other countries like China and Iran and receive cooperation from them but not the US government. What is it about America that makes it look down their noses at other nations?
Nothing friendly about the Obama-Putin relationship, I suggest. It's of concern that WW3 is even mentioned.
