What's not to like there. And you need to get on-board before the train leaves the station, President Obama is already aboard and I'm holding a seat for you.

- Oh, Putin was such a bad man, as if our own country lacked leadership crisis and controversy. As if we are somehow superior in our methods of governance during Mr. Bush's reign. Even worse you imply that Russia use to be free (thanks to RR) and now it is not. You have excused your account at Bank Morally Superior.

As long as the U.S. remains the greatest agent for freedom and democracy for all peoples that the world has ever seen, I'll keep the account open, thank you.

Sweden does sleep better, they did just fine during the Nazi descent on Europe and I'm not convinced we would or could stop a Russian invasion of Sweden. There is a reason why "peak softly" comes before "carry a big stick" and sadly Obama gets flack for speaking softly from you lot.

I'll bet that $ 653B we would have no problem decimating any Russian invasion of Sweden with minimal U.S. casualties, without going nuclear, as long as the politicans stayed out of the way and let the military do its job.
I've got no problem with Obama speaking softly as long as other nations believe he'll use the stick when necessary. But there is no need to not negotiate from a position of strength when you have the biggest stick, by far.
