So responses to Russian violation of Ukrainian sovereignty are unacceptable. I guess the rest of the world is supposed to reward Russia for interfering with its neighbors.
If Putin is allowed to benefit from nuclear blackmail, then the leaders of other nations will have increased incentive to develop their own nuclear weapons capabilities. Does Obama have the determination to stand up to Russian incrementalism the way JFK did?

I'm not saying it's the wrong decision. We just need to be aware of what his next steps are and if that is the best conclusion to this. If we know it's a bluff, great.

Will be funny when Russia cuts off oil and natural gas supplies to Europe. Just watch what happens then.

And you think all of the American companies and banks being hacked for account information was random?
Just wait until they get desperate along with their Mandarin brethren.

If Putin's saying stupid shite like that, it means Obama's winning and it's kinda funny you started this thread to bash him

No, that was undoubtedly done by Russia.
All I am saying is Obama enacted a policy and it worked. Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

And policies have consequences.
Not saying that I don't agree with punishing Russia, but there will be repercussions.
