One more example how paranoid interpretations (I mean mentioning WW3) from paperback press generate unnecessary fears and panic.

The issue is that it was found out that kids of some diplomats and other servants of the regime abroad were attending foreign schools and not the ones inside the embassy perimeter. The obvious goal of those parents is to later bring them to the universities and then find jobs there. Moscow bosses found it inconsistent when the fathers publicly condemn "blood thursty uncle Sam and his European vassal licking his boots" and in parallel trying to arrange for a hideaway for their kids in the countries being blamed. I do not like all those folks, but at least this position is consistent. I would be very surprised to learn that children of high-ranked offices in the US embassy in Moscow attend regular (or even elite) Russian schools.

The whole thing concerns a few hundreds of bureaucrats and their family members. So, what's the buzz, what the hell WW3?
