Unpossible. I am reliably told by US conservatives on this very board that Putin is outmaneuvering Obama like a combination ninja/chessmaster.

Will musiqum show up, or did the check bounce?

At a guess Russia isnt trying to manage the message on the Ukraine situation anymore, its just too apparent that they are involved, and their "volunteer" units were sent in under orders.

Anyways Im not sure the ratings matter given the existing sanctions against them

It is an old school reference back when Obama pressured Putin to intervene with Syria.
