Yum. Cheney on the red phone to Russia. THAT should make Vlad twitch just a scootch.

Can any of you warrior-types tell me if it’s likely that American special forces would be inserted, or will it remain satellite intelligence and arms shipments for the time being?

I just can’t help thinking that Russia bit off a way-bigger bite than it could chew. Makes me wonder if things are worse back on the dacha than we think they are, that Russia would be desperate enough to do something this stupid.

Also makes me smile thinking about the acid reflux the Yurps are all probably suffering from right now. It’s August now, but how cold will they be next winter?

And no. They can’t all immigrate here to get away from their big bear next door neighbor.
