President Obama promised Friday there would be costs if Russia moved troops into Ukraine, but he didnt specify what those costs might be. Sen. John McCain has several suggestions for Obama, including the sanctioning of high-level Russian officials; restarting missile defense plans in Eastern Europe; and bringing Georgia, a former Soviet republic, into NATO. McCain said he plans to push from the Congressional side, he told The Daily Beast in an exclusive interview Saturday evening.
McCain wants the administration to expand its threat to pull out of the G8 Summit in Sochi scheduled for June. That limited move is unlikely to convince Putin to give up his control of Crimea, where Russia has its 15,000-man strong Black Sea Fleet and where unmarked but Russian-controlled paramilitary troops not control the two main airports.
I think Obamas threat is laughable, McCain said. But I think we ought to do it and every other international gathering of leaders, because the one thing that Putin enjoys is strutting on the international stage.

“McCain is irrelevant. Washed out dud. Only good to slam conservatives.”
Bingo. Winner!
Here’s how we punish mclame.................nursing home!
McCain should probably be in a nursing home.
He's a shoe-in when bashing Conservatives and The T.E.A. Party.
Will those shows acknowledge Palin & Romney were right on Russian foreign policy while Obama looks like a fool.
We are doomed....Ukraine us DOOMED....all because we have Obama for President!
Obama has BLOOD on his hands.....so do the STUPID VOTERS that voted this Communist in.
W also had Dick Cheney’s stiff spine and strong brain, unlike Slow Joe Bite Me’s GIRLIE little brain and no spine.
Why would threatening to pull out of the G8 conference be a threat?
Any SERIOUS answers or discussion?
Not bad! Same thing he always screams “ We must send troops some one needs to die and die now” He should be called the brown bomber as he has his head so fare up his ass. The man needs to be in a home for the unstable.

I am sorry, I was being very facetious and sardonic....I, (when I think MY intention is obviously obvious) sometimes neglect the ‘sarcasm’ tag....
...and Egypt
...and Syria
...ad nauseum.
I'm convinced the 0 chose Biden for the reasons you outline. He didn't want any challengers, or anyone who would stop him in his own lying...
Perhaps it is me that owes the apology to you. For what it's worth, how far it could go, I do offer apology, to you.
With so many others turning on the U.S. and "the West" generally on these pages here of late, for a moment it was almost difficult to tell (that you were being facetious).
It is interesting how well George W. Bush's Presidential Admin looks in comparison to 0.
W surrounded himself with enough people who carried old-school diplomacy in their veins.
Obama has Valerie Jarret -- and appointed the conniving liar Hillary (Rodham) Clinton as Sec. of State, for reasons of pure political convenience to himself and the far left wing of the Democrat Party (so that that "Left" could tighten their stranglehold).
Obama's somewhat recent choice of words to Russia has simply played into the most strident of the xenophobic, West-hating mindset. Things could have been expressed differently.
The man is an asshole.
