Stating the obvious
1941:
Roosevelt states the obvious: A state of war exists between the Empire of Japan and the United States.
Japan responds with ridicule as usual. No, no, no, we didn't bomb Pearl Harbor and Manila. You simply moved into the way of our bombs that happened to be in the vicinity. It's just rerativity.

2016:
Medvedev states the obvious: A state of war exists between the Empire of EU/US/UK and Russia.
EU/US/UK responds with ridicule as usual. No, no, no, we didn't start the wars in Syria and Ukraine; you started those wars by existing. Your mere existence is AGGRESSIONAGGRESSIONAGGRESSION, so we have to eliminate your existenceAGGRESSIONAGGRESSIONAGGRESSION. It's just ontology.
