For those of us old enough to remember the Cold War, this is all a little bit familiar. Both sides are trying to push each others buttons, to gauge their reactions and see how much they can get away with.

The problem is, a cold war can turn hot pretty quickly. We don't have nukes to sort of put a damper on things, so one moron with an itchy trigger finger can blow things up fast.
