What can Europe do? With the oil supply from the ME under the threat of war, how can they risk the oil supply from Russia?

Besides that, Ukraine is not in NATO. And Turkey is. Turkey could end up involved in this mess if Kurds get frisky.

Obama is too busy playing golf this weekend to be concerned about what is going to happen in Europe and Iraq. Maybe John Kerry can get them to make nice.

Russia has the upper hand in Ukraine and Putin knows that Europe needs oil and gas. Obama has pretty much written Ukraine and Iraq off. We and our friends are pretty much screwed by the Public housing Mullah of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Look for the price of fuel going up next week because of Obama's foreign policy.

Great question. Energy price increases play into Russia's hand as well.
