It’s too late to do anything. We have no leverage.

The time to act was years ago before the Russian Bear became emboldened by Western weakness. As has been stated elsewhere, Putin is positioned to inflict far more harm on western Europe than anything they could ever hope to do to him.

Checkmate.

The problem is this is Putin and Obama Sudetenland moment and we got the guy with the umbrella for his big stick..Putin has nothing but contempt for Obama weakness and will keep pushing to recapture the old USSR Empire and sphere of influence (the old Warsaw pack buffer states)..who going to stop he..the weak limp wrist Obama and West..
Putins Russia, China , and Islam all will see a common opportunity to all start pushing hard..very hard against the weak weak West in their various areas of interest the next few years.....they be fools not to..... its the opportunity of a generation they been waiting for
