On the Subjects of Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, and the Overview Effect

[Sigma 768]

I'm going to keep this short. Basically, I believe it would be a reasonable hypothesis to say that, if Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin where to negotiate in the Interational Space Station, the movement towards peace would go a lot smoother. Why you ask? This Wikipedia article ought to show my reasoning.

I don't think the movement towards piece would go smoothly. If they came to an agreement where both countries wouldn't get involved with the Ukraine where they don't endanger any innocent citizens, then maybe I could agree. There would have to be a good, legitimate reason for a peaceful agreement to take place, which I would like.

I think they'd both still be at odds. May be more mellow but they aren't just going to forget their own self-interests. Both are set in their ways. I don't see a good ending to this. Both Russia and Ukraine are set in what they stand for. Their wants are in direct conflict with each other. Negotiation will be next to impossible when both sides have said they will do what they need to do.
