This shows you that the US will do whatever they want to whoever they want and wherever they want until someone puts their foot down. The US under bush has been baiting, provoking and testing Russia for a while and Russia did pass all tests and refused to give in. So Mr. barack knows that messing with Russia is futile. Now let's sit back and enjoy the show watching the right-wing nuts and goobers in the US whine about how "Obama surrendered to Russia and the terrorists" and how Obama "Cowardly backed down," and "dishonored the country." It will be interesting and fun. So stay tuned.
