Bush and Putin on missile deal

I have to admit that it came a bit of surprise when Putin offered Bush a compromised defense plan in Azerbaijan.Bush responded to Putin, describing it as "interesting". And as you see above, the big two are shaking hands.The real question is whether the US would accept that deal. Not likely. The US would not like the idea that would reduce US military influence abroad. Despite of the diplomatic handshake-gesture of the two leaders, there are still wider gaps to be fixed between Washington and Moscow.
