Here is the irony. Any other nation would have already been bombed and invaded by now. Because its Russia, this hysteria will only lead to madness in the near term and military escalation in the long term which could accidently spark a world destroying conflict. But any other nation would be bombed by now. And it is this inability to attack another country which so aches the US establishment. How dare there be another country capable of shrugging off with disinterest US hysteria? How dare they?

I will say it again… the US will exhaust itself. We are heading into a time when more and more nations will have this capacity to ignore and persist in their national interests.
