Yeah, I know that, but that's the reaction Putin is looking for. He says hey look at me, and anyone who says hey look at Putin, makes his day. Although I doubt Putin reads the Cellar.

That said, the Channel is a very narrow stretch of water. You can see France from England across it.
So Putin is waving his dick quite close to our faces there.

So is flying the Bear Bombers along the California coast.
Carruthers is too smart to think it's an actual threat, and not grandstanding by Putin.

Oh, the ski jump nose... the Russians only steal the best ideas.
