President Obama joined President Medvedev in Moscow for a summit, regarding Russian-American relations. The summit’s agenda includes such topics as nuclear disarmament, Afghanistan, and Iran.
Obama has said that he hopes to “reset” the relationship between the two countries, following eight years of poor relations between the Bush White House and the Kremlin.
The task will not likely be an easy one. Last year’s war between Russia and Georgia has cooled relations between Russia and the West. However, having a strong ally in Medvedev will be critical to Obama’s altruistic foreign policy objectives.
Best of luck Mr. President.

Yet AGAIN, Scoop44 is blathering nonsense about things it knows NOTHING about. Firstly, the deterioration of Russo-Western relations is exclusively the fault of Russian aggressors.
Secondly, Obama's foreign policy objectives are not altruistic, they are pacifist, treasonous and evil.
Thirdly, Medvedev is not an ally of America, he's a foe (and a puppet of Vladimir Putin).
Fourthly, instead of pursuing the goals he's pursuing, Obama should reply to Russia's aggressive actions around the world with aggressive actions on the part of America. Disarmament is unacceptable.
