"As soon as she touched my kolbasa I came and started invading"
Ugh man. I feel really uneasy about this whole fucking mess.
People didn't realise just before the start of WW2 that it was coming, until shots were fired and shit escalated quickly.
It feels like we're now living in a moment where it could all happen at any moment, and that we'll look back at this in 20 years and go "Yeah people should've known it was coming".

the difference between WWII and now is that we both have nuclear weapons.
believe it or not, the fact that both sides had nukes was probably the primary factor keeping the USSR and the USA from going to actual conventional war; they knew that such a war would use nuclear weapons, and would mean the end of both of their societies.

His posture tells a lot. The costume is kindof tight at the upper button, he's pushing his pectorals and his fists are clinging, as if he's ready for a brawl. I can't imagine obama having a posture like that.Oh and btw I think the clothing and appearance of the officials can tell a whole lot about stuff.They are first and foremost for the majority of the people a symbol.
For instance I can't remember seeing stalin with a costume and tie, whereas after he died, hrushcev did.
Can't remember, following the same line of thought, seeing mao or anyone of the 3 NK communist rules wearing a costume and tie/bow, like obama:

A year back when Obama and putin met, they were both almost identical in the clothes they wore, only colors were different.

um putting aside the quagmire in crimea/ukraine...
this is just childish and irresponsible, Russia is not a 3rd world country, they have a responsibility to keep diplomatic channels open , time and time again lack of communications between the worlds largest nuclear armed states has lead to nothing but near annihilation, the cuban missile crisis, the almost nuclear war of 1983 (look it up), and many other instances where result of when the Kremlin hung up the phone.

With all do respect, you cannot simply 'discount' the Crimea incident as i'm pretty positive it has a huge effect on this scenario.
In that same note, I think you (like MANY Americans) are looking at this very lop-sided. Leaning towards your own nationality in blind defense, rather than looking at the situation openly.
A country as large and influential as Russia doesn't just "Drop ties" with another World Power over spilt milk and cookies. There is a lot of trade, politics, and smooth-running's that get botched when this sort of thing happens. It isn't really to be taken lightly as it reflects the nature of what is going on.
Some serious shit is on the Horizon.
