There's a lot more back story. [Here is a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqD8lIdIMRo) of Putin explaining that we're essentially on the brink of a major world war, and that the average citizen in the western world is oblivious to it. (Or just look up "Putin's warning" and pick your outlet.) Couple that with Hillary's insane anti-Russian position and things could get ugly really quickly.
