It wasn't the Russians who invaded and occupied two sovereign states on the opposite side of the planet from Moscow. The "bully" in this tale hasn't changed in my lifetime: the greatest purveyor of violence in the world wants control of Eurasian gas and oil, and Russia (and China) stand in its star-spangled way. Obama and whatever corporate tool comes next think Russian nationalists will back down in their "near abroad", and that's just as unlikely as the Pentagon backing down over Russian aggression in Mexico or Canada.The Russians are a lot like a clever, obnoxious, bellicose, drunken party crasher, who shows up every so often at a gathering, offends and bullies a number of guests, drinks-up half the punch bowl, belches and farts continuously and clears half the rooms in the gathering-place, and has to be shown the door and have the door slammed in its face.
