Thank you. If you simply read a book, you will find that craziness has happened like this for, well, as long as humans could write books. While it does appear to have gotten worse (and I'm not saying that it hasn't either), the fact that we are now connected to the entire world at once, through the internet and the news, plays a big part in our perception of these events.
If Russia had invaded Georgia 200 years ago, most people in the US would not have even heard of it, and if they
had managed to hear of it, it would have been months after it happened.
