Putin and his Segway

Well it looks like Bush and Putin may have come up with an agreement, but I am a little concerned about it. Having a missile defense station within Russia for us to use seems like not necessarily the best thing. There is talk about how this have fixed the relationship between the US and Russia. Maybe it is me but I wouldn't want to have to trust a country for missile defense when our relations with that country became so cool that people were worried about a New Cold War. With both Bush and Putin being lame ducks (Well officially Putin's term ends next year, but only time can tell if he will really step down, I am doubtful because of his KGB background.) they are both looking out for their reputations as they leave office. So we will see what will come of this all.. I need to read more in the Russian papers and see what they are saying.

At least Putin got a Segway as a parting gift. ;-) And maybe he got a missile defence station for his country.
