"US childish tantrums and tears will not change Russia’s annexation of Crimea”

Sergei Rybakov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister
He advises the USA to “DO YOGA”
Telegraph UK:
America’s leaders should stop throwing “childish tantrums” over the annexation of Crimea and instead “do yoga”, a Russian official said on Thursday, in a caustic intervention in the confrontation between Moscow and Washington.
Sergei Rybakov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister, said decisions by the US to end military and civilian cooperation, including that between Nasa and the Russian space agency, ran against “the free will of the people of Crimea”.
He added that the Americans were being “childish” if they thought that such actions could change the situation.
“What advice can we give our American colleagues? Spend more time in the fresh air, practise yoga, a balanced diet, maybe watch some sitcoms on TV,” he said. “Its better than ‘cheating’ yourself and others, knowing that the train has left and childish tantrums and tears are not going to help,” he said.

The Obama Administration is an international embarrassment -- and dangerous in the extreme.

At first glance, I misread that as "intentional" embarrassment, and I suppose it could be that as well. Obama obviously wants to put the whole "world police" notion out to pasture - lead from the rear and all that.

I think Obama's fantasy is that Putin would lead from the rear.
