I like the sentiment very much, how does the USA and Russia both win, without either selling their souls. Recent world events scream the need for sanity, and Russia and the USA finding peaceful common ground is I believe an absolute world necessity. The world is extremely fortunate to have an emerging Russia that’s a thinking pragmatist, and a new US president capable of intelligent thought. Good luck!

I completely agree with 007, the US and Russia must BOTH bring intelligence into this equation to find the obvious best solution of balance in this world gone stark raving mad. There is, however, a small, but incredibly explosive PARTICLE to this and since the President of Russia is obviously into chemistry, physics and other disciplines of deeper and truly abstract thought, he understands what this one invisible particle can do to blow the entire world out of the picture show on earth. What exactly is this tiny unseen 'truth?' Ah, this is the hidden agenda which is glaring at every human being with a brain cell working, just ask the RULERS of our human species who dictate their control from the state that was purposely set-up to make all the rules of engagement for "life": the richest humans who had the wherewithal to manufacture a ruling dictatorship in our faces and we continue to allow this ABOMINATION (think new and improved word ... O BOMB -n-ation) still works as a term of art for those who think only in tanks and love to drive them into innocents for the victims to be other than women and children, just ask the poor mercenaries who have no other income than that of killing fields forever.

Does President Medvedev see or understand the big picture of US ambitions? The policy of appeasement has never been successful One should remember 1938 , when an agreement was reached by Germany, France, Britain, and Italy allowing German annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. Hitler demanded that all Czechoslovaks in those areas must depart; when Czechoslovakia refused, Britain, and France, (who had defense treaties with Czechoslovakia) negotiated an agreement allowing Germany to occupy the Sudetenland’s. However they did promise that all future differences would be resolved through consultation. What was the result of the promise?….. Hitler annexed the remainder of Czechoslovakia the following year . Has President Medvedev forgotten what the US secretary of state James Baker said on Feb. 9, 1990 in the magnificent St. Catherine's Hall at the Kremlin? What James Baker, US Secretary of State plainly stated (and what James Baker stated is beyond dispute) was; .” There would be no extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east," provided the Soviet Union agreed to the NATO membership of a unified Germany

And Obama’s promises in 2009 are becoming as reliable as James Bakers in 1990 In September, US President. Obama announced he was cancelling the proposed missile defence system that George W. Bush had planned to be stationed in Poland and the Czech Republic, However in December the US started moving quickly toward a new type of missile defence system, the mobile SS Missile systems, and not only does the US intend to place them in the original countries, Poland, Czech Republic, but also in Georgia, Ukraine and at the 2 new US military bases in Romania and Bulgaria and probably in the Baltic States to completely surround Russia Perhaps when all the mobile SS Missile systems are in place in Poland, Czech Republic, Georgia, Ukraine and at the 2 new US military bases in Romania and Bulgaria in the Baltic States to completely surround Russia President Medvedev will realise the errors he made in appeasing the US, but by then it will be to late.
