[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]July 16, 2001: Bush Gets ‘Sense of’ Putin’s ‘Soul’ in First US-Russian SummitEdit event

The first summit meeting between US President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin goes well, with the two apparently forming a warm working relationship. Both say they have found the basis for a relationship of mutual respect. Bush describes Putin as straightforward and trustworthy, and says: “I looked the man in the eye.… I was able to get a sense of his soul.” No real progress is made on the issues that divide the two nations—particularly US plans to enlarge NATO and expand its defense capabilities—but Bush says the two sides are resolved to put aside Cold War-era attitudes and differences, and to move away from the concept of “mutually assured destruction” and towards “mutually earned respect.” [BBC, 7/16/2001]

yes how easy we forget that WE expanded NATO to Russia's borders despite promising not to do it. Not to mention going to Iraq against their objections. [/quote]
