Putin is already feeling the economic pain from his lackeys.
If Obama had a pair of cajones, he would call Putin up directly and tell him to stand down and hand the Ukraine bases back to the rightful owners.
At that point Vlad, we can discuss anything you want.
Since Obamabi doesn’t have a pair, he’ll give in to negotiations without preconditions.
Its Putin’s turn to offer Obama that “off-ramp.”
There’ll be a deal in the works to stabilize Ukraine in exchange for the West’s acceptance of the reversion of Crimea to Russian rule.
Nothing here for any one to lose sleep over. The West is playing with a weak hand and knows it.
