There is no evidence of any real response by the mom-jeans wearing, girls bike riding Obama. Putin changed the world map while Obama filled out his NCAA bracket. . .
Putin long ago sized up Obama and found him to be weak, indecisive, narcissistic, and generally accepting of diminishment of America’s position in the world. Putin is acting against Ukraine now because he see’s no real resistance from this manchild. Putin has a green light to do whatever he wants for the next three years.
Other adversaries are reaching the same conclusions and will be initiating their own aggressive actions soon.
Obama for once has it right in backing off with token sanctions. We'd all be better off, the world included, if Obama would throw a state dinner for the Russians.
