The Obama admin is striking a very different tone in out role with Israel/Hamas. Now it looks as if big changes will take place in US support of some former Russian satellite countries. Good things, or foolish and fraught with peril?
MOSCOW, March 2 (RIA Novosti) - Washington has told Moscow that Russian help in resolving Iran’s nuclear program would make its missile shield plans for Europe unnecessary, a Russian daily said on Monday, citing White House sources.
U.S. President Barack Obama made the proposal on Iran in a letter to his Russian counterpart, Dmitry Medvedev, Kommersant said, referring to unidentified U.S. officials.
Negotiating with Russia on Iran isn’t a bad idea at all. Wow, the world has changed, hasn’t it?
Anyway, this was the best part of the article, “Gates also said that the while more sanctions should be imposed against Iran, the door should not be closed to diplomacy.”
Moot anyway. I think it was too obvious that Obama is going to scrap the missile plan anyway, so they'll give him nothing.
“Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Tuesday that it was “not productive” to link talks over a US missile defense system in Europe with Iran’s suspected nuclear program as proposed by Washington.”
