United States and Russia Tensions Get High

The U.S and Russian tensions are getting high. The article in MSN gave a detailed repot on the U.S. involvement with Russia and Ukraine. The problem seemed to be resolved, and it seemed like Russia was going to settle to situation in a political way. They wanted to come together and meet, and they all wanted to agree on a set of terms. Russia's president is being really sketchy in how he has been acting all throughout the political agreement process. The U.S. figured out that the political process was not working when a Russian Fighter plane flew over a battle ship stationed in the Black Sea. The plane reportedly had been warned multiple times that it was flying to low and was not following procedures and would be fired upon. The plane swooped down over the battle ship simulating that it was going to drop a bomb on the battle ship, but it eventually left the airspace and reported back to base. President Obama got word about this incident, and he made a personal phone call to the Russian President about the incident. He did not apologize and he treated it like it was no big deal because the plane was "supposedly" not armed. The Russian president is beginning to give off the attitude that he is preparing to take over the Ukraine no matter what. The U.S. involvement in this is very crucial, because the Ukraine is asking for help, and we can not deny ally help. It will be very interesting to see how the Russian President tries to resolve this desire to take over the Ukraine.
