And there you have it, folks. BAM!

Putin will never dare step over another Obama red line./

[Rockitz]

At least he’s consistent. He does the same thing to conservatives and Tea Party activists.

The goal of sanctions is to make the recipient so uncomfortable that they change their behavior. There’s no other reason to impose them.

Have sanctions ever accomplished that goal? Ever?

[moovova]

I feel a new t-shirt coming on...

“Putin invades Ukraine, and all I get is this lousy sanction?”

[onyx]

Oh, I get it. The Marxist is holding more sanctions in his pocket to impose provided Putin goes even more rogue?

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, this is entirely pathetic.

Sounds like the US bankers got the Ukrainian gold and Russians got Crimea and the western Ukrainian people will get the shaft. What’s new?

The sanctions amount to illegal interference in Russia’s internal affairs in an effort to force Russian officials to serve the West’s geo-political interests. I can well imagine how American officials would react if Russian officials tried through sanctioning them to force American officials to serve Russian interests.

Treating Russia like an errant child is counter-productive as well as in terms of a meaningless political display of pique to assuage American public opinion. The US did not even do this during the worst days of the Cold War. Russia is being punished simply for having a difference of views with the US about Crimea. This is not going to force Russia to reverse course. It will have precisely the opposite effect.

Obama’s 11 names list.

The State Duma deputy, Yelena Mizulina, was perplexed when she read her name on the list:

“The decision is puzzling, because I don’t have any accounts or real estate abroad, nor do any of my family members live abroad. Why was I particularly included?”

[CodeJockey]

This coming from a guy who jailed an American citizen for exercising his first amendment right of free speech and then running cover for the real perps of Benghazi.

Hey Vlad... Now is the time to act. Snatch all the real estate you want.

[Red White and Blue patriot]

This is even more pathetic than what I was expecting. 2016 can’t come soon enough.

[tcrlaf]

These sanctions aren’t meant to harm anyone in Russia, they are simply for TV Network consumption.

[MATSEVAH]

Obama got to be the biggest joke, in Americas long history. Anyone who voted for him should think about admitting themselves to a mental hospital. He has just totally destroyed America in such a short time.Nobody takes him serious.What is more troublesome if we had elections tomorrow the democratic party would vote him back in again.

[Eleutheria5]

I guess they’ll have to change their vacation plans. That’ll learn ‘em with whom they’re messing.

[TEARUNNER14]

If we can send a man to the moon, why can’t we send Obama, Reid, and all the democrats? Then, they can make all the red lines they want.

[Candor7]

This is the best symbol for Obamas Approach to the Russians. Pacify them! ( but even that is botched by Obama and his idjit staffers.)

[novemberslady]

So Putin and Obama have an agreement beneficial to them both.

Putin will get what he wants and much more.

All the while Obama has been weakening the U.S. in every possible way, while he shakes hands with the muslim brotherhood.

Good job of redirecting the conmversation there.
