That Mr Putin has difficulties with the truth is already apparent from the transparent lies he told us during the Crimean crisis. Who can forget that stage-managed press conference with a group of carefully-vetted Russian journalists back in March at which Mr Putin said in all seriousness that there were no Russian troops active in Crimea, when the province was in fact already overrun with Spetsnaz Russian forces orchestrating Moscow's annexation of the territory?
Now the Russian president is at it again, this time trying to persuade a sceptical President Obama that there are no Russian soldiers or spiesinvolved in stirring up trouble in eastern Ukraine, when all the evidence points to the contrary including the arrest by the Ukrainian authorities of dozens of Russian military officers who have been caught red-handed trying to incite violence.As a former senior officer in the KGB, telling barefaced lies must now be ingrained in Mr Putin's DNA.
But for the West, which is desperately trying to avoid an open confrontation with Moscow over the crisis, this presents enormous difficulties.

With Obama and Putin in the same room the truth hasn’t a prayer.
What exactly was this big lie? Russian troops in Crimea? Really? DOES it MATTER?
It’s Like negotiating with Klingons. And his people love him. It’s not for nothing they are called Slavs (at least the Russian puppets).
Hell, many people on this board believe his every word.
Who is more a danger to the United States of America, pick one:
1. 0bastard
2. Putin
It’s obvious who is more of a danger to our country. And it isn’t the Russian guy thousands of miles away who doesn’t sign executive orders in the WH in Mordor on the Potomac.
Putin puts Russia first, no holds barred.
0bastard puts America last, no holds barred.
Excellent comments.
The only thing that is going to get smashed with Obama at the helm are your fellow Americans.
The idea of smashing Putin with our new girly man military isn’t even slightly possible.
