My first thought would be that Putin has zero respect for Obama, and so is doing this to spit in his face. Obama has never done anything legitimately to garner respect from friend or foe, so this isn't a surprise to see. Obama fits the role of ass clown better than leader of a country. His foreign relations people remind me of some sort of circus side show, not real diplomats.

I wonder what level of political upheaval is going on in Russia. It appears as though both Russia and the US are desperate for war in order to distract the public from focusing on their tyrannical overlords.

The Americans are playing a great game with certain East European states that want to avenge Russia for some historical reasons. We understand.
These States simply do not understand that they cannot win.

You are simply crazy.
The Putin has been extremely restrained through all the BS being hurled at him.
Your Obama man is beyond crazy.
The Baltic states have done nothing to antagonize Russia. Russia however has done a lot to antagonize the Baltic nations. Specifically when Putin gave his speeches on the illegal collapse of the soviet union as well as referencing "ethnic Russians".

Can you elaborate on this ?
Putin's speech on reserving the right to intervene in a foreign nation with large "ethnic Russian" populations. The Baltic states have large ethnic Russian populations.
Putin's comments on how the collapse of the Soviet Union was illegal and how former SSR's borders are invalid.

The first of what is sure to be many posts attempting to blame this incident on the US.
