Obama and Putin Discuss Crimea on Phone

Probable conversation between President Obama and President Putin:

Obama:   What's that about Crimea?
Putin:      What?
Obama:   Let me warn you!
Putin:      About what?
Obama:   There will be economic sanctions!
Putin:      From you?
Obama:   There will be consequences!
Putin:       For who?
Obama:    I'm getting ready to put my foot down.
Putin:       Where?
Obama:    On the table and take immediate action!
Putin:       Oh damn!
Obama:    I'll get Europe to back me!
Putin:       Who's that?
Obama:    Stay out of Crimea!
Putin:       It's Russian business as usual.
Obama:    Leave Crimea alone.
Putin:       Oh that!
Obama:    Don't play with me!
Putin:       Yeah, I'm real scared of America!
Obama:    Are you?
Putin:       Nah! Just for a laugh, I even got my Parliament to say yes! It's all legal!
Obama:    What about people of Crimea!
Putin:       Anything else before I settle my troops there?
Obama:    I'm warning you again!
Putin:       FU!

Unnecessary America Bashing.

Why is America bashing the new sport of the world?

Could it be that some Americans themselves are the arbitrators of this trend. In India there is a saying 'aa bael mujhe maar' - which is an unnecessary invitation to cause harm to oneself. America is hardly an empire like Britain was and hasn't colonized anything per se but does believe in keeping its foreign footprint alive and kicking. It is unnecessarily apologetic about its actions but is also the first to reach with help in innumerable disasters around the world. 

Its people can speak and write about anything they want. In fact it has an overdose of freedom which allows its ill wishers to preach and celebrate as they wish. It is also one of those countries where illegals run rampant in organized groups and demand rights which should never be there to begin with. Its haters give speeches and expect full immunity from any harm. It is perhaps the only nation which allows vile criticism of its existence, its policies, its ways - and yet goes on. It has redeemed itself many times over - something that is rare to see in other nations which couldn't care a hoot about world opinion. Yet we have seen it abandoning policies which since its birth have been mimicked by countless nations around the world to bring in progress and pursue happiness.

Despite all its good, it continues to face the dilemma of being the only super power remaining - if it helps it's blamed for interfering and if it doesn't help it is condemned for being arrogant and aloof. Damn if it does and damn if it doesn't. America I guess remains an enigma for most.
