I just can't release the doubt in mind mind about Russia.
I can understand Obama
HOPING by exhibiting "trust" that Russia would come to negotiate world matters openly if he (Obama) initiated it by relaxing our military powers.
I have a few friends who are Russian born. They say they themselves don't trust Russian leadership, and tell me not to either.
Look at what RR had to say, by his own scripted words, he spoke to the nation, after an pretty similar event while he was our leader. I don't think Obama can even imagine finding these words on his own. Lets pray he visits them tho and comes to understand hope is just not enough in this world......
