Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said Sunday the crisis in Ukraine presents another situation in which President Obama is getting out-maneuvered on the global stage by Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying, Putin is playing chess, and I think were playing marbles.
Its not even close, Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News Sunday.
His remarks follow Russia sending troops into Ukraines Crimea region, amid Ukraines months-long political upheaval in which residents in late February ousted their leader.
Though Rogers often calls on the Obama administration to be more aggressive on foreign policy, he outlined a measured approach that called for sanctions but cautioned against sending the U.S. Navy into the region.
Sending [forces] into the Black Sea is not a good idea right now, he said. There are not a lot of [military] options on the table.
Obama said Friday "there will be costs" should Russia take any military action in Ukraine.

give obama credit- he said he was going to hit the rest button on relations with russia and he has reset them- to 1979...
just like today in 1979 a far left wing president (carter) got stomped by a russian president (Brezhnev)...
Wonder how our 2 astronauts on the ISS are going to get home?
LOL, sadly...
He is demonstrating his flexibility. All part of his America Last plan. Being outmaneuvered is a smoke screen.
Obama’s not even putting up a pretense of trying to resist - he is enabling Putin
This president, and the entire us federal government for that matter, needs to be impeached and convicted for becoming an absolute, useless, pointless joke.
America has become a limp wristed fairy.
Does anyone want to declare war and use a military option?
Meanwhile O’Bammy has declared his intention to cut back our military to pre-WWII size so was to be able to keep those EBT cards full every month until the end of his term.
Of course our population pre-WWII was fare less than today so in per-capita terms our military will be fare weaker than then.
