Medvedev rejects Putin 'crusade' remark over Libya
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-12810566
Quote:
Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's description of the UN resolution on Libya is "unacceptable".
The rare rebuke came after Mr Putin said the resolution resembled "medieval calls for crusades".
Mr Medvedev said such comments could "lead to a clash of civilisations".

Very interesting development..and it's going to be interesting to see how far the 'split' widens.

Re: Medvedev rejects Putin 'crusade' remark over Libya
very strange as Medvedev is basically classed as Putin's clone.

If I was Medvedev I would be very careful about taking any cups of tea anytime soon.

Re: Medvedev rejects Putin 'crusade' remark over Libya
I think it's because they abstained from the resolution so to now say it was 'unacceptable' strikes as rather odd.

Re: Medvedev rejects Putin 'crusade' remark over Libya
So Mr Medvedev, do you take your polonium-210 with or without sugar ?
Kidding aside, I think the "split" is staged - a carefully choreographed attempt to affirm Medvedev's authority and independance from Putin.

Re: Medvedev rejects Putin 'crusade' remark over Libya
I think it's more a slap on the wrist to remind Putin he is ONLY Prime Minister not President anymore.A case of territory marking. 
But we will see if Putin replies..

Maggy I think that's precisely what we're "supposed" to believe.
I think DocDutch is right on the money. Coming from Russia, I'd take it all with a barrel of salt.

I'm going to wait and see..Sometimes you can 'over guess' a situation.

Re: Medvedev rejects Putin 'crusade' remark over Libya
His response will probably be more judo videos or macho (shirtless) horse riding to beef up his image. :P
