For Russia's Putin, knockabout with Obama is just the ticket
Nov 9 07:38 PM US/Eastern
Still Russia's dominant politician, Vladimir Putin can only relish the prospect of a new bout of Russian-US rivalry with American leader-in-waiting Barack Obama, say analysts.
While much of the world celebrated Obama's US presidential win, a stony-faced Russian reaction was a reminder of Cold War-style tensions between Washington and Moscow.
On the Internet, Russian bloggers portrayed the victory of a black candidate as evidence of American decline. On an official level, President Dmitry Medvedev chose the day of Obama's win to announce the deployment of short-range missiles to Kaliningrad, a Russian outpost in Europe.
Numerous analysts said Medvedev's response was clearly authored by Putin, no longer president himself but powerful in the prime minister's post and long the spearhead of Russian attacks on the United States.
"Putin is of course number one in this tandem," said Yevgeny Volk, head of the Moscow office of the US Heritage Foundation, a research centre.
The announcement of missile deployments to Kaliningrad is meant "to test Obama -- whether he really is a strong and efficient leader," said Volk.

Here we go, it’s Jimmy Carter vs. Leonid Brezhnev part II
Putin will turn Obama inside and out, then shine his shoes with his rotting carcass.
This won’t even be fair.
Putin is going to have his way with him.
The Russians are among the most racist people in the world.
It would be amusing to know what their secrat code word is for the new US president.
I’m sure Putin has great contempt for Obama for many reasons. Their intelligence file on him must be very thick. A KGB wet dream.
Somehow I can’t see Pootie dropping by Chicago to visit the Obama family manse for barbeque.
No it won’t - the KGB can smell an appeaser from a mile away.
putin will bitch slap obamao around a few times,
just for fun!
This time, I will side with the Russians..... I hope they kick BHO a$$.
The KGB....the Mossad.....anyone else wanna join the Obama a$$kicking party???
But, these are our soldiers in harms way due to this Marxist.
Crap, something like missiles in Cuba is much scarier and possible.
Of course people now know (due to information that came out in the 90’s) that we were less than an hour if I recall correctly; from a nuclear exchange with the Russians.
Putin is a classic case of over-compensation. Maybe it was because he looked so much like Macauley Culkin in his junior high years.
at least nobama can whine a little before bending over.
you are going to get your wish. the first thing noboma does is eliminate missle defense.
