Obama says his decision to scrap the missile defense plan in Europe(originated by the Bush administration) has nothing to do with appeasing the Russia government. In my opinion this is sensible politricks because he cannot appear to the American people to be appeasing the Russian government, but at the same time he does need to warm relations with Russia as it pertains to Iran's nuclear ambitions, and Russian arms sales to Venezuela. This is smart politics, but whether or not Mr. Putin will soften is another story.
