A lot of people think that America has good relations with Russia, it is not true at all. It was terrible years ago, and it still isn't any better. American-Russian relations are all nonsense. If they were such "allies" with us, then they would hand over Snowden or at least want him to get out of the country (Snowden didn't do anything wrong though, and he did not betray us in my eyes). If Russia was a trustworthy American ally, then they wouldn't be providing weaponry to the Syrian Forces. Obama tries to mask American domestic issues with Russia, and it isn't working.
