Okay, let's not freak over Ivan, gang.

This is a cute cartoon but it's not very accurate.  You see, the Bear is actually sick and flea ridden and it's one eighth the size of the President - sort of like a Dachshund with distemper.  The Russians are throwing their anorexic weight around, like the Doxie chasing mice because their leadership is frightened, doesn't know how to turn Russia's inexorable slide around and in their frustration, they lash out in the classic thuggish, counterproductive Russian way.  Time is on our side.  Patience.  Courage.
