With President Obama's announcement on February 25th that "we're building Iron Man" - and his implication that the president himself IS Iron Man - the United States finally has a way of resolving the Ukraine crisis.
We know we're going to get dragged into this whole Russia thing. If we start another war, we need to make it really cool this time.
Airstrikes and drone attacks are unpopular with the people they're used against. Unlike conventional tactics, suiting up our president in a cybernetic battle suit will inspire smiles on the faces of our enemies, prompting them to applaud and cheer our awesomeness even as we vanquish them. It's a better way to make war.
