Ukraine, Cuba, nuclear subs in the Gulf, and now a test firing of an ICBM...Putin is signaling the world as well as Obama about his intentions.

Does Obama have a play left on the chess board, or has he already been defeated?

To be fair, it was scheduled prior to this Ukraine mess.

The testing was inline with our treaties. They announced well before hand.

He clearly did, but that doesn't mean the Russians violated any agreement whatsoever so why would we take any action because of the launch?

that's true, if our guy wanted to make a splash he would have had one of our new naval laser weapons on hand to shoot down the Russian rocket as a counter demo.

Matters deeply, even if previously scheduled. A country with any respect of the other treaty signer would not go ahead with a planned test when tensions are this high.

Just another large middle finger at our leader.

Why don't we start announcing new natural gas contracts with European countries? Shouldn't that be equivalent to firing our own ICBM?

I wonder how much further this conflict enables Obama to delay the implementation of the ACA.

Exactly he's making Obama look ridiculous and Obama just responds by sending Kerry to cry like a little girl. We don't want to fight please please you big bully!!! This is the start of something big very big and these Democrat sensitive trained idiots are just letting it happen.Europe is broke Russia owns all the gas and natural gas do you think Europe will take our side?? This was written about 20 years ago when they found that huge oil field in Russia. This is not new news sorry.
