Good Fellas

Russian President Vladimir Putin & US President Barrack Obama

WASHINGTON, August 27 (RIA Novosti) – While the United States and Russia might be engaging in a war of words over Syria, Edward Snowden, adoption and gay rights, the differences are not stopping the two countries from joining together with Canada in an anti-terror exercise this week.

I am not quite sure what to think about this. I mean fighting terrorism is good, right? But Russia was our enemy for so long it's hard to think we should be cooperating with them. And while they might not be our avowed enemy any longer, they certainly provide a counterweight to anything the USA is trying to pull. Maybe China's growing influence (especially among Buddhists) is pushing the USA and Russia closer together.
