Back in June of 2001 our George W. Bush said of Vladimir Putin "I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue.  I was able to get a sense of his soul.

Fast forward to the present. 

On May 15, Rice told reporters in Moscow that, ‘while the two sides ‘don't see eye to eye’ about the proposed anti-missile system, ‘it is still quite a long time until such deployments would come into being, and we very much value the opportunity to discuss the issue with Russia and to talk about the emerging threats.

Three days after their meeting, [Russian Foreign Minister Sergei] Lavrov told the BBC World Service that ‘these Czech and Polish locations perfectly fit into the overall global design of the American missile defense, which is surrounding the perimeters of the Russian borders.’

Think Cuban Missile Crises, but this time with American missiles on the border of Russia.

Now Vladimir Putin is wondering about George W. Bush "I looked the man in the eye. I looked at the man’s record and found him to be a liar and untrustworthy.  I was able to get a sense of his soul.  I had better rearm mother Russia as fast as possible.

Careful Vladimir, or our George will put you on his “evil doer” list and pin the cold war on you.  Russia just recently got off of the Evil Empire list.  You don’t want her to go onto the Axis of Evil list, now do you??
