Yeah, right. Noise, noise, noise. For domestic consumption. And you might want to be careful, because some of those Russians can actually read English.The White House is re-evaluating whether US President, Barack Obama, needs to participate in a summit this autumn summit with Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, after Moscow granted asylum to NSA leaker, Edward Snowden.
"We are evaluating the utility of the summit in light of this," White House spokesperson, Jay Carney, said.
The US is “extremely disappointed that the Russian government would take this step” despite Washington’s official and private requests to expel him, he added.

Next week’s talks between US Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, were also “up in the air,” a US official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.At the same time, Carney said that the US doesn’t want “Mr Snowden to become a problem” in US relations with Russia, which cover “important and broad” issues.
I think it’s Mr. McCain who has illusions about Russia.Earlier, US Senator John McCain expressed his outrage with Snowden’s Russian asylum and demanded Washington re-examine its relations with Moscow and “strip away the illusions that many Americans have had about Russia.”
A statement by the WikiLeaks has revealed the words Snowden said after he was handed the Russian asylum certificate.
"Over the past eight weeks we have seen the Obama administration show no respect for international or domestic law, but in the end the law is winning,” the NSA leaker stressed. “I thank the Russian Federation for granting me asylum in accordance with its laws and international obligations."
