It isn't 6 months and already Bidens prophecy is coming true. To look the other way they try and say that Russia is not exerting influence to have our base removed from that country.

Some Western diplomats had expected Mr. Biden to announce a strategic review of the planned missile defense system as a way to defuse tensions between Washington and Moscow. Although Mr. Biden did not go that far, he did leave room in both the speech — and an interview afterward — for unspecified changes in the plan put forward by the Bush administration.
“We will continue to develop missile defenses to counter a growing Iranian capability, provided the technology is proven and it is cost-effective,” Mr. Biden said during the speech.

Praise be that the US again has a government that values intelligence - of all kinds - and diplomacy.
The wannabe cowboy mentality is well past its sell-by date and should be returned forever to its rightful home in Hollywood.

Medvedev is impotent, and a target for assassination to put Czar Putin on his throne.
All Russia does, or can do at this point is sell it's resources. Putin's gang has made it impossible to do straigth business in Russia, and foreign investment is severely lacking.
Don't push Russia now, wait a few months and put the screws to them. They will buckle at that point. What's starting to boil there now can't be put out. -

They've even being practicing war games together, and No, the USA was not invited. Do you think they are doing all this just for $hits & Giggles. I don't!
