Russian Foreign Ministry officials are increasingly dismissive of US complaints about last month’s annexation of Crimea, insisting its time for them to just learn to live with the reality of the situation.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov took the mocking a step further, saying the “childish tantrums” of the US weren’t going to accomplish anything, and advising them to “maybe watch some sitcoms” to chill out.
Ryabkov went on to say it was a “joke” that the US was making moves to suspend so many trivial types of cooperation, saying there was no reason to cancel meetings between meteorologists.
The US and NATO, apparently oblivious to all of this, continue to ratchet up the rhetoric over Crimea, with NATO claiming today that Russia is violating “every principle and international commitment it has made” with the Crimea annexation.
the US gov aka …

has spoken and everything else needs to obey
"Every principle!" Reeeeaallly? Probably already noticed: new watchwords are 'international law,' & the new(?) 'international commitment' etc. That they can't attack with 'democracy' here, as they like to do most everywhere else, means they know they're outdone & vulnerable in that department.
Would make sense to pin them down on this 'international [x]' routine, and fact check 'em. E.g. NATO expanded in spite of agreement with Gorbachev not to … and these are creatures who will accuse you of what they do –on top of just accusing baselessly –and I s'pect that often sticks.
"…advising them to “maybe watch some sitcoms” to chill out."
Nice…when the subtleties of American life are that obvious it clearly indicates that it's time for a bit of "come-to-Jesus" self-reflection. Nah, don't have time…The Big Bang Theory is coming on…
Obviously, the point isn't Crimea. The point is to stop Putin grabbing any more territory. I think Putin gets that message loud and clear. In victory, magnanimity, in defaet, defiance, said Winston Churchill. Russia defiant is Russia defeated.
Russia and Putin knows better than to take your crappy advice. Go cry to your mother I think she might be the only one who cares where the Crimea is, besides you and Obama, another whining twerp.
