SNOWDEN ASYLUM: Obama Cancels Meeting With Putin by Samabu07(m): 5:53pm On Aug 07, 2013 |
US President Barack Obama has cancelled a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin after Russia’s decision to grant asylum to intelligence leaker Edward Snowden, the White House said. But Mr Obama will still attend the G20 economic talks in St Petersburg. A White House aide said Mr Snowden’s asylum had deepened the pre-existing tension between the two counties. The former intelligence contractor has admitted leaking information about US surveillance programmes to the media. Source: BBC News |

The world will soon get to know that President Obama is a failed President. Every nation cannot be bullied into doing whatever the US wants. This is a revisit of the Cold War. Let's see who blinks first. |

A couple of issues already strained their uneasy friendship,but the snowden case just changed the gear. But, should this snowden case be the other way round,the US would surely do same, granting an asylum to a russian fugitive who has so much to leak about russia's secret intelligence gathering would change the score margin to their favour too. . The cold war is still much alive. 1 Like |
