During a visit to Moscow this week aimed at improving ties with the Russian government, President Barack Obama warned the nation not to interfere in neighboring states and to get past its “old ways of thinking.”
Obama declared the “days when empires could treat sovereign states as pieces on a chessboard are over.” The United States currently has hundreds of military bases across the planet, and is engaged in massive wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama also warned the Russian government that the US would not tolerate “another Russian invasion of Georgia.” Russia fought a brief war with Georgia in August after the Georgian military shelled the capital city of the breakaway South Ossetian province, killing Russian soldiers in the process. The war ended with the destruction of much of Georgia’s military and the declaration of independence by both South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russian troops remain in both nations as Georgia has threatened to reclaim them by any means possible.
Though President Obama has said the trip was aimed at “reseting” tense US-Russian relations, he appears to have spent much of his time publicly chastizing the Russian government and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in particular. It is unsurprising, then, that little has been accomplished during the trip, other than a handful of soundbites.
Sorry to say :^/
O'bama is a two faced liar. How could this guy face a mirror?
Yup – don't interfer in neighboring countries, only in those futher away.
Obama has done an about face. I can tell you that Putin and Medvedev absolutely know that this guy is a fake and they are on their own. Any astute viewer could see that Obama was using words to cover up his real agenda. I can also tell you that no way will Russia tolerate Georgia or Ukraine to join NATO. They will go to war. And I wouldn't put it past Russia, to 'take out' the missile defense shield in Poland if it does get built.
Disgusting, dirty, dispicable two faced liar. AMERIKA'S FINEST ! BRING HOME THE US TROOPS FROM ALL 150+SOVERIGN NATIONS…NOW
