hi clo,

putin is rude. he is nasty.

but the us needs to talk with russia about many things all the same.

it isn't always going to get what it demands. but it should keep the discussion open so it can make the deals that are possible.

russia and the us have opposing interests. it will always be hard to reach agreement.

Obama Cancels Meeting With Putin as Snowden Adds to Tensions

President Obama has canceled a planned summit with the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, senior administration officials said Wednesday, a response to frustration with the Russian government for refusing to send Edward J. Snowden to the United States to face charges of leaking national security secrets.

The move is also a reflection of growing tensions between the two countries on a series of other issues, including Mr. Putin’s continuing support of Bashar al-Assad, the president of Syria.

Mr. Obama is scheduled to be in St. Petersburg for a meeting of the Group of 20 set for Sept. 5 and 6, and had planned to go from there to meet Mr. Putin.
