The Russians are already resigned to the prospect of further sanctions. It won’t deter them from defending their national interests should the situation arise.

Hey, Obama: you don’t want to go there.

Go off with Reggie and leave these important matters to adults.

This president has zero ability to raise any sort of consciousness in other leaders. This is a complete disaster.

With “the right to be stupid Kerry”, this president has zero ability to raise any sort of consciousness in other leaders. This is a complete disaster.

Barack Obama has warned Russia could face "consequences"

Oh no! Not (gasp!) Consequences.

Obama: New Russia sanctions are "teed up," but Putin can change course
"We have been preparing for the prospect that we're going to have to engage in further sanctions. Those are teed up. It requires some technical work, and it also requires coordination with other countries," the president said.

Why Sanctions Will Cost Russia More Than America
“The fundamental thing is that Russia’s GDP is 2.9% of global GDP, and U.S. trade with Russia is about 1% of total U.S. trade,” says Anders Aslund, a Russian specialist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. “In the big scheme of things, Russia’s economy doesn’t much matter,” he adds.

...If the U.S. targets the top four state-run Russian banks, says Aslund, the E.U. could even benefit economically and the U.S. could significantly hurt the Russian economy. “If Russian finances are being hit, which I favor, then the money would flow out of Russia,” says Aslund.

So? Obama defies the U.S. Law and Constitution all the time. At this point, what difference does it make?
