It's time for the United States and its European allies to raise or fold.
Russian President Vladimir Putin clearly called their bluff on Tuesday, announcing steps for his country to annex the Crimean Peninsula from neighboring Ukraine.
President Barack Obama and European allies had warned such a move would bring tougher sanctions and diplomatic isolation, but there was little immediate response Tuesday to Putin's bold pronouncement in the Russian parliament.
The White House announced that Obama invited leaders of the G7 industrial powers to meet next week on the sidelines of a nuclear security summit in the Netherlands to discuss the Ukraine crisis.

The US cut diplomatic ties with Syria today.
I think they are trying to pressure Putin, make him wonder what is coming next, but they don’t understand the most important fact.
He, nor Russians, give a damn what the US Media think.

Come on, if Obama was really serious, he’d threaten to impose ObamaCare on Russia.

“Obamas going to unfriend Putin on Facebook”
He’s going to order that Putin not be allowed to attend Tina Brown’s next party.
IN DC, and in the US Media, that is the Kiss of Death.
