Maybe Russia will back off if we just do whatever Russia demands? Maybe if we just do whatever Russia says, whenever they say it, then do you think they might let us be their friends?

Some have argued that adopting the Bush policy of groveling before the Wahabists just might work with the Russians...at least as well as it has worked with the Saudis. As for me, I’d rather have Russians calling the shots than Saudi Mohammedans if that’s the choice. My people have long experience living under Mohammedanism. You wouldn’t like it.
In essence and in political double speak---we told Russia to stop f'ing us around the world causing us headaches or we'll cause you trouble in your own backyard. That was what was meant in my post.
It looks the other way around from the article.
The comments also sparked quick reaction from the U.S. State Department, which urged Russia to repudiate them.
Rogozin couched his threat, however, assuring that Russia was not currently making plans for a military confrontation.
