What a joke. 
Yes ladies and gentlemen, the folks at the Kremlin are rolling around the floor laughing their rears off at this president, you couldn’t have had a more feeble response to naked aggression. I don’t want to hear about Russia’s traditional rights to the land etc., there are ways to go about addressing grievances other than busting previous signed agreements (read = de facto international law), and rolling tanks in.
Russia’s move on the Ukraine, coupled by Obama’s paltry, weak response to it, has to place Tawain into a greatly heightened state of panic. If Russia thinks that signed deals in the past were ”bad deals”, and rolling tanks to correct mistake the only measure, what’s to stop him from eyeing Alaska? Obama?
Obama imposes sanctions on 11 Russians, Ukrainians over Crimea
(Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday slapped sanctions on two top aides to President Vladimir Putin and nine other people linked to Russia’s military incursion into Crimea as tensions increased between the two countries over the Ukraine crisis.
Facing one of his toughest foreign policy tests yet, Obama made clear the United States was prepared to impose more sanctions if Russia formally annexed Crimea in response to a weekend referendum in the region that Washington and its allies called illegitimate.
“Going forward, we can calibrate our response based on whether Russia chooses to escalate or to de-escalate the situation,” Obama said.
The sanctions were the most visible sign of U.S. anger at Russia’s attempt to absorb the Crimea region in southern Ukraine, reflecting the deepest plunge in U.S.-Russian relations since the Cold War.
Senior administration officials told reporters the penalties were the most comprehensive sanctions applied to Russia in more than two decades.
Republican Senator John McCain, however, said Obama did not go far enough when the president cited so few individuals and no businesses.
