US finds emboldened Russia holding the cards

The U.S. has found an emboldened Russia wielding enormous leverage at a critical stage in disputes over the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs, a once-promising partnership with Moscow in doubt.

After a month of bitter exchanges over Russia's war with Georgia, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came face-to-face Wednesday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and discovered Moscow's cooperation on Iran and North Korea may no longer be a sure thing.

Webmaster's Commentary: 

The fact that Secretary Rice would find a hardening of Russia's positions on North Korea and Iran surprising just boggles the mind.

That she could possibly think, as a rational human being, that Russia would embrace the US views on these issues after the US raked Russia over the coals for their response to the colossally stupid Georgian invasion of South Ossetia, defies imagination.

And of course, this article never mentions that Russia's invasion of Georgia was in response to Georgia's invasion of South Ossetia.
