And so what if they did anyways? What would Russia (or anyone else) do about it? I mean, the US government already blatantly lies to their own citizenry with zero consequence, and our foreign relations can't get much worse than they already are. I highly doubt Russia of all countries has any trust in us in the first place. They're already torturing people in Gitmo, and Bradley Manning, and nothing is being done about that. Whether or not they said they wouldn't beforehand doesn't make any of that any better.
