Putin needs to be able to “Sanctions Bust”. If he has his puppet states and his allies take a neutral stance, it is far less likely that we will target them with similar “revolutions”, sanctions, or other direct actions. It also allows Putin to bypass any sanctions put on his country. Remember that Putin plays chess while Obama plays marbles.

Actually Obama may indeed have some leverage.

China is currently running a (massive) trade surplus with the United States.

318 billion I believe, in 2013.

That is some serious leverage. Just saying.

If Hussein made a comment about a checkers game, I’d check the official rules; Hussein doesn’t know jack s**t about anything.

Russian Chinese relationship will be very interesting to watch in the next six months.

They’ve been doing joint military exercises for close to a decade now. Not a relationship at arm’s length.
