Like I said, Putin IS Russia. Or should I say, the U.S.S.R.?
With the cards Putin has to play, and it's pretty evident no one's going to do anything, I fail to see the "grave consequences" Obama was warning Putin about...just more hot air. Seriously, he and his staff need to know when to speak and when to shut up.

Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
