I had to chuckle, but darkly.

I have an acquaintance that though she is intellectually inquisitive, for her age, she is pretty much allergic to the state of international affairs, not unlike many other 20 year old's.

So, I was a little taken aback this afternoon when she asked me about current conditions in Ukraine.

After, I went through the basic list of things that Putin has done she told me;

"My god he's worse than Steven Seagal."

I thought to myself that maybe I should expand our conversation, but then I decided that maybe I should just take her apparent flippancy as a teenie, tiny, win.
