The United States and Russia are approaching "a second Cold War," and President Barack Obama is to blame for the deteriorating relations between the countries, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Medvedev said Russia is preparing retaliatory steps in response to the sanctions the United States imposed on the country due to the escalation of conflict in Ukraine.

"We are slowly but surely moving toward a second Cold War, which no one needs," Medvedev said. "Why am I saying this? Because a competent politician knows how to make reserved, careful subtle, wise, and intelligent decisions, which, I believe, Mr. Obama succeeded at for awhile."

Medvedev did not elaborate on the details of possible Russian action.

"We haven’t especially commented on" sanctions "or responded to them harshly, although we could do something unpleasant or offensive to those countries that are introducing these sanctions."

Medvedev also blamed Obama, his onetime partner in a reset of relations, for a lack of "political tact," Bloomberg reported.

Obama’s policy of groveling in prostrate supplication before our Russian enemies hasn't worked too well, has it. Obama gave Putin everything he wanted, he canceled the missile defense for Poland, he slashed our nuclear arsenal, he kept Assad in power with the help of the United Nations.

What did KGB Putin give his good comrade Obama in return? The completely unprovoked invasion of America's military ally Ukraine.

Remember when the libs were saying Russia was going to help us keep Iran from getting nukes? What utter stupidity. Hey lib morons, Russia is the entire source of the Iranian nuclear program. All they had to do to stop it was not build Iran a nuclear reactor and stop supplying them with enriched uranium. Russia didn't help Iran's nuclear program to get a bargaining chip, they did it because they want to help islamofascist Iran wipe US ally Israel off the map.
