An unintended consequence - the answer
I had wondered the following:What with President Stompy Feet and Sec. State Lurch getting played, what happens if we do something that pisses Putin off.From Yahoo/Reuters:
Russia test-fires ICBM amid tension over UkraineMore:
Russia said it had successfully test-fired an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) on Tuesday, with tensions running high over its military intervention in Ukraine's Crimea region.
The Strategic Rocket Forces launched an RS-12M Topol missile from the southerly Astrakhan region and the dummy warhead hit its target at a proving ground in Kazakhstan, Defence Ministry spokesman Igor Yegorov told state-run news agency RIA.More:
The launch site, Kapustin Yar, is near the Volga River about 450 km (280 miles) east of the Ukrainian border. Kazakhstan, a Russian ally in a post-Soviet security grouping, is further to the east.Emphasis mine. Putin is dominating the situation. From Denny:
