WNU Editor: This AP story is wrong .... Clinton's 'Moscow Spring' ended as Putin returned to power (AP). Putin never left power .... he was the Russian Prime Minister when Hillary Clinton was U.S. Secretary of State, and he was always in the loop on what was happening .... sitting in cabinet meetings and being present in the Russian equivalent of the National Security Council. And while he did voice disapproval of the Libyan intervention when he was Prime Minister .... Putin likens U.N. Libya resolution to crusades (Reuters) .... he did give the green-light to then Russian President Medevedev to push for an arms control agreement .... Obama tells Russia's Medvedev more flexibility after election (Reuters). And while there have been disagreements in the past few years between Russia and the West, it is the Ukraine crisis that has completely wrecked relations. For it to return to some form of normalcy .... the war in Ukraine must end and a political settlement reached that respects all sides. But at this moment in time .... no one is talking.
