U.S. Cancels Joint Exercises With Russia

August 14, 2008 | ISSUE 44•33

The United States will "in all likelihood" drop out of annual naval exercises with Russia to express disapproval of the country's war with Georgia. What do you think?

Good going, U.S. I am so sick of all the mixed signals. This sends a firm message that we will no longer exercise navally with Russia.

That doesn't go far enough. The U.S. also needs to enact a full-scale boycott of South Ossetian hazelnuts.

That leaves a slot open for Luxembourg. They've been dying to get invited to one of these things.
