Will Putin Sue Obama for Leaving Afghanistan Too Soon?
Speaking to the Duma, Putin announced his support for the ISAF mission:

Surprisingly few American mothers think their sons should go into combat to pull Russia's chestnuts out of the fire.
"We understand what is happening in Afghanistan -- right?" Russia's educator-in-chief lectured the Duma. "We are interested in things there being under control, right? And we do not want our soldiers to fight on the Tajik-Afghan border, right?"

"It's in our national interests to help maintain stability in Afghanistan," he continued. "Well, NATO and the Western community are present there. God bless them! Let them do their work."

This is not going to make the Afghan War any more popular in the US. Surprisingly few American mothers think their sons should go into combat to pull Russia's chestnuts out of the fire. However, if President Obama goes ahead and withdraws from Afghanistan before fulfilling the objectives laid out in the UN resolutions authorizing the war, the Russians are threatening to sue.
