Americans don’t even take Biden seriously, like Russia is gong to? Sanctions threats are pretty much a joke since Europe won’t be signing on - they need Russia’s energy fuels too much. Sanctions didn’t work against smaller countries like Iraq and Iran, does anyone really think they would work against Russia?

Russia Sounds Alarm on Economy as West Starts With Sanctions

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-03-17/russia-sees-economy-tipping-into-crisis-as-western-sanctions-hit.html

Russia says it’s gonna cost them about $4 billion out of their $2 trillion economy to annex Crimea and the Ruble is going to lose strength against the dollar.

But as I read this bloomberg piece I can’t help but hear Putin crying, “Oh please Brer Obama, whatever you do, please don’t fling me into the briar patch.”
