UPDATED: Will Obama Get Punked by Russia?
“Washington has told Moscow that Russian help in resolving Iran’s nuclear program would make its missile shield plans for Europe unnecessary.”
We give up the shield and Russia helps us put the brakes on Iran’s nuclear program? That assumes that Russia doesn’t want the US to have to worry about Iran. And that’s assuming a lot. The more strategic preoccupations there are out there for the U.S., the better for Russia.
Let’s see how this goes. If Obama gets punked by Medvedev on this one, we won’t find out until it’s too late. I hope Obama at least is thinking “trust but verify”.
UPDATE: I rest my case.
