Russia cancels military exercise with US

[TomInTib]

I guess everyone is growing weary of our crap

Joint Russian-US military exercises scheduled to take place in western Russia later this month have been cancelled due to questions about the "status" of US military personnel.

"The reason is that the question of the status of American personnel being sent to take part in the exercises has not been resolved," Interfax quoted an unnamed senior Russian defense ministry official as saying.

The exercises involving middle-ranking officers from both countries had been due to take place in the Nizhny Novgorod region, east of Moscow, in the second half of September, he said Tuesday.

A spokesman for the defence ministry would not confirm or deny the report. The US embassy in Moscow said it had no immediate comment.
