Russia Pushes Reset Button… Won’t Extradite Edward Snowden
Gateway ^ | June 25, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 07/26/2013 6:22:13 PM PDT by george76

In March 2009 Hillary Clinton announced that the Obama Adminstration was going to push the reset button with the Russians. Unfortunately, the administration bungled their delivery and spelled out “overcharge” rather than “restart” on their button.

...

This week the Russians pushed their own reset button. Moscow rejected US demands for the extradition of NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

If I were Putin, I'd have refused Snowden's extradition just because of how ignorant, stupid, and pathetic Obama's commentary on Ho Chi Min being a big fan of our nation's founding fathers and especially Jefferson!

Stupid people in power need to be punished in a very public way.

Snowden should consider Russia as a place to live. If Texas didn’t exist, I’d likely be in Russia now. Russia vs any South or Central American country is a hell of an easy choice.

Given his KGB background, I would suspect that when Putin hits something, it stays hit.

Interpretation: Hm, zero the offer you made us for him was lacking. You are lacking. So we’re gonna keep him.

Zero is in trouble.

This should put to rest any notion that relations between Russia and the USA will be better with Democrats in charge. Russia is just as hostile to the USA as when Republicans were in charge. Russia’s hostility to the USA had nothing to do with President Bush, they are just as hostile to us now with Obama bending over backwards and forwards to please his comrade KGB Putin. Russia will be America’s enemy no matter who is in charge of the American government.

Russia certainly respects us more when Republicans are in charge.

...and this lightweight came on the scene thinking he was gonna charm the world -- and then he got shamed away from his telepromptr, and it's all gone downhill from there.

Putin would never criticize Ho Chi Minh. Putin said that what America did in Viet Nam was worse than Stalin’s purges.

The date on this is June 25. Things have changed since then. Putin is thinking it over, hasn’t told the US to stuff it, yet.

They showed they respected us by attacking our ally Georgia and exterminating and ethnically cleansing the Georgian people to punish them for being our friend?

No. They showed they HATE us and will murder anyone who befriends us.

Why would Putin need to criticize Ho Chi Minh? Why would an American President hail Ho Chi Minh is a better question as that in fact happened?,

Putin would not criticize Obama’s statement lionizing Ho Chi Minh because Putin agrees with it.

I’d pay $10.00 to watch a Putin Obama boxing match. Aw hell, I’d pay $50.00 to watch that.

Putin would not criticize Obama’s statements because Putin has no reasons to criticize every one of Obama’s or anybody’s statements!
