Russia’s new allies are busier than ever.

They will now use these guys as hostages to trade for dropping sanctions I guess.

Iran is just angry no one is paying attention to them anymore.

If we had a real leader, it would give us the opportunity to bomb the living hell of every centrifuge and nuclear site in the country.

Instead, Obama will say how angry his is and Michelle will do a hash tag sign on twitter: “#sendourplaneback”
