Something Sneaky Up Northern Yonder

I've noticed over the last while, a silent but menancing emergence of conflict between Canada and Russia. Russia has staked it's claim in the North and Harper "mis"representing Canada is willing to defend it. Slowly but quietly, it continues, nothing more than words, not overly strong words, but lukewarm threats. The type you hear piss drunk best friends make when they wanna beat each other up, but they probably won't really hurt each other. Just roll around a bit.

Is this the emergence of a new Cold War? The distraction war, so that all the other nasty things are ignored and look less bad. After all there is this BIG MENACING THREAT, we must deal with at all cost. There are a lot of hot hot conflicts going on across the globe. Ones people are starting to notice. MUST DISTRACT WITH SHINY OBJECT!!! So we miss the explosion to watch a speck glitter.

If this becomes a big story, I'd say it's time for popsicles.
