U.S. President Barack Obama will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week while both men are in New York for the United Nations General Assembly at Putin's request, a senior Obama administration official said on Thursday.

"Given the situations in Ukraine and Syria, despite our profound differences with Moscow, the president believes that it would be irresponsible not to test whether we can make progress through high-level engagement with the Russians," the U.S. official said.

"President Obama will take advantage of this meeting to discuss Ukraine, and he will be focused on ensuring Moscow lives up to the Minsk commitments. This will be the core message of this bilateral engagement."

So Vlad’s snapped his fingers to see just how flexible barry can be. Interesting.

Russia Plans Second Big Military Base Near Ukrainian Border
Reuters, via freebeacon.com ^ | September 23, 2015 | Anton Zverev

BOGUCHAR, Russia (Reuters) – Russia is planning a second major military base near the border with Ukraine, where NATO accuses Russian troops of helping pro-Moscow separatists fight Kiev’s forces.

The new base will house 5,000 soldiers and heavy weaponry, according to public documents and people working at the site.

It is further east than one under construction in Belgorod region reported by Reuters earlier this month but still close to the border with separatist-held parts of Ukraine’s eastern Luhansk region, where there has been heavy fighting.

The bases are part of a Russian military buildup along a new line of confrontation with the West, running from the Black Sea in the south to the Baltic in the north, which carries echoes of the Cold War-era “Iron Curtain”.

Russia has also increased its military presence in Syria.

Remember the Russian spy insertion team from the early days of the Fraud’s administration that we couldn’t send back to Russia fast enough?

Trump: Iran Deal Requires U.S. Protecting Iran in Event of Israeli Strike

by Jacob Kornbluh
Sept 2, 2015

In a phone interview with CNN Tuesday evening, Trump claimed that there’s “something in the Iran deal” that “people don’t understand” saying if someone attacks Iran, “we have to come to their defense.”

“Does that include Israel?” Trump asked. “And most people say yes, they don’t have an exclusion for Israel. So if Israel attacks Iran, according to that deal, I believe, the way it reads, unless they have a codicil or they have something to it, that we have to fight with Iran against Israel.” ..."

Trump was most probably referring to language highlighted by the opponents of the deal. On page 142, the deal includes a clause that states, “Co-operation through training and workshops to strengthen Iran’s ability to protect against, and respond to nuclear security threats, including sabotage, as well as to enable effective and sustainable nuclear security and physical protection systems.”

Washington-based Center for Security Policy asserted that Annex III appears “to commit the United States and other world powers to the defense of Iran’s nuclear program.”

“Peace in our time!”

I would love to watch this exchange. You think Obama will bow to Putin or kneel before him?

Well, if his meeting with the ChiCom pres or Raul Castro is any indication, the answer, is (probably) yes...

Vlad: OK punk, did you do as you were told?

Obama: Yessir! Here are my country's SAC bombing sites, recall codes, code book for scrambles signals, all of our HUMINT sources operating in Russia, a promise to remove all offensive and defensive ICBMs around the world, a letter of intent stating that the United States has no objection whatsoever to your land grabs...

Vlad: What!?

Obama: I mean your desire to expand your borders so as to achieve internal security for the Russian peoples.

Vlad: And?? You're holding back!

Obama: Uh, yeah, right, I forgot, free Russian Air Force flyovers over the continental US for RECON imagery...

Vlad: AND?! Come on man child, what else?

Obama: Oh right, free hamburgers for the entire Red Army...

Vlad: AND!?

Obama: OK, you got me there, a free ticket to the Graceland Elvis museum...

Vlad: That's a good man child Barry, you have done well.

He's already bent over to him showing his "flexibility" on missile defenses and nukes.
