Today Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev told students at Pittsburgh University that he did have input on the president's decision.

What's important is Barack Obama listened to my position. Perhaps it was part of the basis for his decision. We are learning to listen to each other.

And yet, Zero is planning to replace the missile defense with another missile program in Poland. Don’t know who’s crazier among the two.

It’s easy to influence the nation-destroying Obama if your request sounds ultimately harmful to the US on the face of the proposal.
