This entire episode felt like commentary on the current state of affairs between the United States and Russia. I was surprised it was over a park and not the current situation in Ukraine. The references to the SALT treaties was nice, but I think that if a piece of American soil was stolen by Russia, the president would immediately call upon the NATO to invade Russia, thus starting World War III and possibly leading to the MAD protocol being invoked, bathing the Northern Hemisphere in nuclear fire and allowing Australia and Brazil to rise as new superpowers.
