We could throw in export subsidies for US-made fracking equipment as well.

An excellent idea, to be honest. Hopefully, this will force a rethink in military policy - mind you, I’m not counting on that, but in my opinion, a return to a ‘containment strategy’ is vital.

And it must be emphasized to Putin that ANY attempt to act against a NATO member-state would immediately trigger a nuclear response. I for one would be more than happy to tell Putin that.

I'm afraid any such threat from Obozo would (rightly) be considered a bluff.

The only way to respond now is the expensive way: move a couple of BCT's, air defense units, and air wings to Poland, not the miserable 12 planes Obozo sent already.

Since Putin is easily digesting Crimea, he will next try for the eastern Ukraine. What happens then is anyone's guess.
