Obama has nothing to do with this. Bush didn't do a damn thing when Putin invaded Georgia, and that was an actual, killing-people invasion. The costs are simply too high, unless Russia does something truly egregious like invade Ukraine proper (which would have the Poles screaming for intervention, as that'd mean Russian tanks on their borders once again). |
Were it me... I'd move some troops into Ukraine proper. Just to be safe. (Note, but not annex Ukraine or fuck with them in any way.)
It's pretty much just the cold war again, where whoever gets their first wins.
Then again, with the extreme right wing leaders suddenly being killed off... maybe it'd be backfrie.
Theoretically, Obama if he cared enough probably could of marched troops right into Crimea and took back the area by force. The Russian economy is in some dire straits. Russia really doesn't have anything to back up keeping Crimea outside the fact that the west wouldn't think of doing that. (And no Republicans wouldn't do it either other guys.)
