Ever fervently stated that a country shouldn’t militarily intervene in another country’s internal affairs, especially without pretext, and then invaded a nation anyway? Vladimir Putin and John Kerry know how you feel.

As Jon Stewart points out, the hypocrisy at play here is laughable and makes for great comedy. But it’s also the beginning of a dangerous Cold War rehash that could leave both the U.S. and Russia eating their words.

Watch the “Daily Show” host expose what a “Vlad, Vlad world” it is out there as Russia throws Crimea a surprise armed party in a demonstration of “disturbingly shirtless aggression” and the U.S. secretary of state forgets he voted to invade Iraq.
