#1 restive

For what we may soon be receiving
In answer to what we are heaving --
The flashes so festive,
The rhythm, suggestive --
We thank thee, Lord; now we are leaving!

#2 Wouldn't this actually be an excellent time for tit-for-tat moves against Russia's allies in the world?

Does the US simulate bombing raids on Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and/or Iran?

How about some political rhetoric concerning the need for ending totalitarianism in the Western hemisphere?

Russia did simulate an attack on Denmark recently.

Russia annexed Crimea. Why shouldn't the US annex or threaten to annex Guantanamo Bay?
That would be a symbolic move that would humiliate Cuba and put its weakness on display.

Something must be done about Iran anyway so why not take out Iran's nuclear assets to eliminate or delay an existential threat and send a message to Russia at the same time?

#4 Doesn't tit-for-tat just extend the cycle of violence(tm) ?
