The Week's Top Stories in Foreign Affairs : Re-Settling of US-Russia Relations Facts:US President Barack Obama traveled to Russia this week and met wi...
Washington showed up, laid its cards on the table, and treated Russia very seriously. Now the ball is in Kremlin's court to do the same.
Unlike most of the rest of Europe, Russia is hardly in the grips of Obamamania. He's certainly more popular than George W. Bush or John McCain, but that's damning with faint praise.
In Prague, in Cairo, and now in Moscow, we are witnessing the emergence of an Obama Doctrine. A world view guided by universal compliance with democratic norms and the rule of law; policies driven by the convergence of shared interests and responsibilities; and a statecraft that does not shirk from the application of military force when necessary but promotes America's interests with respect for other nations and the strength of joint enterprise.
We can't help but weigh in on the Sarah Palin epic disaster movie. It's a fantastic train wreck of a story, and we can't look away.
This week, we had the opportunity to contrast Bush and Obama in terms of a first encounter with Putin.
Earlier today, President Obama delivered a speech to Moscow's New Economic School, in which he outlined his vision for the future U.S.-Russia relationship.

The Apollo Theater's memorial tribute to Michael Jackson might as well have been Mardi Gras in Harlem.
This is the first serious encounter of two young presidents who both represent a new generation of politicians. But repairing this relationship will take time, and there are deep, historical obstacles to success.
A first encounter during a Lunar Eclipse is always highly emotionally charged. Attractions between the people involved are volcanic and intense.
If Obama and Medvedev strike up a personal and political rapport, it could unfreeze a relationship that became icy in the final years of the Bush and Putin administrations.
As President Obama heads to Russia, stove-piping is blocking what could be a major multifaceted deal. The main negotiations in preparation for the president's visit are taking place in tightly controlled compartments.
She is not a narcissist. She just has the good sense to realize she is better and more deserving than most people to rule the planet and prepare humanity for the end of days.
The Putin-Medvedev "tandem" might not be an awkward political marriage of two paradigms but a clever good cop/bad cop arrangement.
North Korea was to have been the drama of the day. But it turned into a major fizzle.
Well, I can't say that I saw this coming. In an interview with the Associated Press that hit the wires on July 3, U.S. President Barack Obama droppe...
Recessions and insurgencies certainly capture headlines. Slow-moving arms races - not so much. While the global financial crisis fills the news cycl...
This is a fight between some neocons who still want to promote Palin and their discredited geopolitical agenda against some Republican would-be modernizers.
Urging Obama to stand up for human rights is all well and good. But what, exactly, would he accomplish by upbraiding Vladimir Putin for his lapses?

The Obamas are such a nice family. They are a perfect role model for families all across America and across the world.
Yes, nothing like exploiting your family at every turn.
Sasha is growing like a weed! lol
I love the Obamas so much. They are such a sweet family.
I love the Obamas so much. They fill me with great pride as an American. They are such a beautiful family.
God bless our First Family and God bless the United States of America.
It is important for the first family to be well dressed. I didn't have a problem with a vice presidential candidate spending thousands on a wardrobe and with the first lady's $6,000 clutch as long as the taxpayer doesn't get the bill. Who designed the clothes they were wearing when they arrived in Russia? Who paid for it? I hope it wasn't the American taxpayer.
