We wake up and it’s 1983 again. But then we realize we have no Reagan as President. Scary.

Crimea is none of our business. Quite frankly, that is the Russians’ own affair.

And presuming no war is in the offing, I think it’ll be all forgotten within six months.

yep. Crimea, half a world away from you, conquered 300 years ago by Russians, and populated by Russians continuously since then, voted to leave the Ukraine, a country that didn't exist 25 years ago, to join Russia who created and populated her Because the people in Crimea thought that Russia can offer higher wages, cheaper energy and better pensions. And there is that stuff about Crimeans and Russians being both Russians, who speak Russian.... A language that the parliament of liberated Ukraine tried to proscribe. Scary, indeed. if the US had McCain in the presidency, then the US and Russia would have exchanged a couple thousand nukes right now.
