Too bad it wasn&#8217;t our Constitution for a change. But Secretary of State John Kerry threatened that the US will now &#8220;impose penalties&#8221; on Russia. I guess we&#8217;ll block the export of KFC&#8217;s 11 herbs and spices and rock music. Maybe we&#8217;ll airdrop Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus into Red Square and start a twerking frenzy from which the Russians can never recover.<\/p>\n<p>Kerry expressed &#8220;strong concerns&#8221;, but he was careful to say that the matter can only be settled politically (ie. no threats of military force).
