The New York Times: Reports that Russia might be playing a double game when it comes to sanctions against Iran, the NYT writes the following, " But the relatively conciliatory statements by Russia’s president, Dmitri A. Medvedev, present an opening to the administration that could turn out to yield little. " As Iran is a close neighbour of Russia, the Russian bear does not want it to cause problems in its Muslim population, thus while it might give the impression that it will do a deal over Iran when it gets down to the details Russia might stay on the fence with China. Thus the selling out of Poland and the Czech Republic by the Obama Administration in the long term might cause problems for the Democrats in 2010 and 2012 if Russia does not agree to harsh sanctions against Iran. One can see the political ads now 2010 in the Mid Term Congressional Elections and in the Presidential Election of 2012, the image of President Obama fades in to the image of Neville Chamberlain. Lets hope Obama has not fallen like Bush 43 for a Russian bluff, the Russian bear does not have a soul when it comes to politics, it has steel claws.
