Leading from behind by the boy king will come to a head when in retaliation for sanctions Putin nationalizes the Exxon/Mobil/BP assets that are on the ground in Russia. When the Russian soldiers take over the drilling rigs and run the Americans employees out, what will bath house Barry do?

Actually, there is plenty of evidence that investors are taking their capital out already. Certainly wealthy Russians have been fleeing Putin for a long time, and now the risk-taking capitalists are seeing the risk of an autocrat can be too high.

And I don't think Obama will do anything, really. Putin ambitions threaten people in Russia, near Russia, and far from Russia (even near the US). I don't see Obama's unpatriotic feckless approach and lackadaisicalness about democracy as a benefit for people who want a peaceful world. And Putin's actions have shown he's eager to become the new Soviet man turned Peter (or Putin) the Great. He's a menace and a threat to liberty, property, and security. Capitalists won't miss the scale of Putin's threats.
