Most recognize this is a match between Putin and Obama....Obama cannot stand alone nor state anything which Putin will consider any sort of threat...all Obama has is to use whatever leverage he has to get other nations to demand Russia pull back...in reality Putin will do so once Ukraine is stable with a Government comprising ALL the people not just those wanting to move toward Nato. IMO.
Obamas moves mean nothing, really, rather the EU and surrounding nations are determining how this goes with Putin...Obama is bringing up the rear as usual.
“...Obama is bringing up the rear as usual.”
...Obama is taking it up the rear as usual.
