Existential Burn?

The Russians probably have a rich history of US directed burns, Sputnik being a decent one, but I think they broke new grounds recently.

Recently, John McCain added to his exhausting list of squid-brained campaign statements by saying he wants Russia out of the G8. A Russian diplomat responded thusly, "... We’re not interested in what McCain has to say. Let him become president first, then we’ll listen to him." Then to top it off the diplomat said "… At the moment, they are turning Russia into a scapegoat for the mistakes of their foreign policy,' said the diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The United States 'is on the verge of an existential crisis,' he added."

That cut deep Russians, existentially deep.
