The chill in relations between the US and Russia grew still frostier yesterday as President Vladimir Putin's foreign minister told the White House to start behaving like "grown-ups".
Sergei Lavrov chided the US administration two days after President Barack Obama scrapped a summit with Mr Putin when Russia granted asylum to Edward Snowden, the fugitive US spy.

I’m glad the world is noticing and commenting on our government lately. The Libs won’t be able to so easily get away with calling a segment of America sore losers or racists anymore. Oh they still will of course, but with a straight face hardly.
Yep and I’d bet we’d see a lot more bumper stickers saying “Don’t look at me, I didn’t vote for him!” if there wasn’t a safety concern involved.
Well, if they were to act like grownups, it would merely be an act. Mature, critical thinking is foreign to the RATs.

Put on your big-boy pants, 0bummer-punk!
I guess that “Reset” button really worked, eh? Be careful what you wish for.
They’re tough on immigration, they don’t like gay propaganda, they’re standing up for the Christian faith, they have a real leader, heck if I didn’t have family here I’d seriously think of trying to get citizenship there!
I was just telling my mom today, I don’t much like Americans anymore. Coming out of the Walgreens me and someone on the other side of the door did a little “dance” jockeying for one of the two doors a few times, I chuckled a little when passing him, he stared straight ahead with an inconvenienced expression. I was still smiling a bit while walking out and looked at a girl passing by and she gives me a frown. At work, there used to be a sense of decorum but now the younger managers swear like they’re at a bar. Women are judgemental, take everything the worst possible way a lot of times, if you are on the quiet side they say “whats wrong you don’t like us?” I’m like “No I’m just focused on the job” God forbid you aren’t an extrovert, but even if you are ya can’t talk TOO much or they say something bout that behind your back. I don’t know how people are in the rest of the world, I’m sure even worse in ways, in some other places...but I know that here people are very critical of others and won’t accept you for who you are.
"Sergei Lavrov and I are old hockey players, and we both know that diplomacy, like hockey, can sometimes result in the occasional collision," he told the press conference before their meeting.
They’re cracking me up. I get the idea that Putin has told all his officials, “Let ‘er rip, guys. Say what you really think. That pansy won’t do anything but snivel.”
Shery’s daughter here - same here! I never married and am single. I don’t speak Russian, but I’m real good at learning languages. I was just telling my dad yesterday how I wondered if it might be worth it to go live there in Russia. It would be cold, yes, but it’s getting really weird here in the U.S.
“I didnt have family here Id seriously think of trying to get citizenship there”

I will always be an American, even though I will not likely ever return to live there. If the country ever recovers, it will not be in my lifetime.
I spent about eight years in the former Communist central Europe, mostly Slovakia.
I expect to live out my last years here in the Philippines
with my new wife and our 2 year old boy, but if I had to leave here, I would be back in Slovakia.
Beware of the few “dog in a manger” FReepers that hate anyone that chooses their own life of freedom and not want to remain in the USSA to suffer the Obamination along with them.
That would be sweet. Putin could arrange it so he gives it over closed-circuit TV from an undisclosed location in Russia "to protect Snowden from any United States efforts to abduct him" (pure propaganda of course, to make Hussein look bad).
Let little boy Zero sit there and glower while the jumbotron shows the speech to the world.
You are right about his self-obsession, everything is about him. It is amazing more of the country can’t see how emotionally immature he is.
I never dreamed of the day I would shamefully agree with their assessment. Russia has to do what it has to do, as when they are dealing with the US Government, they are dealing with a great lot of incompetent, malicious socialists idiots bent on the collapse of Western society.

Are you on the Northern East coast or West coast? If you say "No", I will be worried...
Me neither. The Russians are behaving like adults, while we have a spoiled, pampered girly-man as President.
...sigh...and, the foreign minister is right.
