Author's note: President Obama had a 90-minute phone call with President Putin Saturday after troops entered Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula. No official transcript was released. Here's my take on what might have been said, and what I hope Obama told Russia's president.
Obama: We condemn with the strongest possible words your invasion of the sovereign and independent state of Ukraine. If you do not withdraw immediately, there will be consequences. Nations don’t invade other nations in 21st century. The Cold War is over. You must understand your actions are not in Russia’s best interests.
Putin: Words are cheap, Mr. President. You and I both know you won’t do a thing to stop me in Ukraine. Neither will anyone else. I’ve replaced you as the dominant foreign power in the Middle East. I’ve got a close and growing closer relationship with Iran, which will become the dominant local power in the Middle East. You didn’t even notice it, but I left the Olympics for a day to fly back to Moscow during Olympics to sign an arms agreement with Egypt’s General Sisi. I’m recreating Greater Russia, and reclaiming lands we lost when the Soviet Union collapsed. And, as for my place in history? Winners write history, Mr. President, not whiners.
Obama: Okay, Vladimir, you’ve had your chance. I realize now that not standing up to you in years past has only whetted your appetite for more aggression.
So, I am reversing course. No more reset with Russia. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Now, let me tell you what I’m going to do from here on. I’m going to hit you where it hurts – crush your economy and make your borders vulnerable.

Perfect!
However:
You can keep the Crimea as long as....
I think Crimeans might have something to say about being used as pawn.
So this is what deluded women think about when dreaming of what their ideal hunk would do/say.
Jesus.....what tripe and fantasy. Read it. Fictional hypotheses of all the ways our Poofter-in-Chief could make Putin piss his pants.
Missile shields, plus up our DoD budgets, and a host of other nonsensical, improbable impossible actions Poofter ‘might’ do.
Damn...Just damn....K.T. see your doctor. They have hormones and drugs for those menopausal night sweats and crazy dreams that are no invading your conscious thought.....sheesh..
yeah, he was correct about that, but he was still too weak to call out the marxist for what he was and is!
Squishy moderates are always too weak.
How Obama could stop Putin’s Ukraine power grab without firing a shot
Fire Biden, Resign and call for a special election to find an actual leader for America?
That would take balls. Not going to happen
I like many of their actions for their own sake (Fracking, etc.), but Russia is demonstrating that she doesn’t need the US at all.
