Resetting Our Relationship With Russia

President Barack Obama recently bragged about having "reset" America's relationship with Russia, presumably on friendlier terms. Personally, I believe this is extremely naivee on the part of the President, and that's being generous. During the speech, he referred to World War II as "The Great Patriotic War" which is what the Communist Soviets called the war after Hitler betrayed them. This indicates an outright supplication to (and I tend to agree with Libaugh that it is outright grovelling) the Russians. Keep in mind, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin (formally the President and the puppeteer behind the current supposedly democratic government) is a former KGB soldier. From recent history, it appears to me that Russia has resumed it's Cold War stance regarding the US (including threats regarding the missle shield the President wimperingly caved on, betraying our Polish and Czhech allies). As additional evidence, Putin recently bragged about a new Russian fighter jet specifically comparing it to American fighters and calling it superior. But the most definitive evidence occured today, when 11 people in sleeper cell families were charged with espionage on behalf of Russia. Congratulations, President Neville Chamberlain.
