We can act like this because there can never be any blowback to the US. We are at the "end of history" and all such actions are just perfect one-off events. Everyone will now capitulate and offer no further resistance. These actions are consequence free and only further Americas interest. Problem has been solved. Russia is fucked....easy peasy....
