With Obama in office we are in the same position as Britain was prior to WW II.

We have a strong man dictator with aggressive expansionist ambitions who feels his country was slighted in the recent past trying to intimidate us to achieve some of his goals.

We are as Britain was led by a swishy appeaser.

If we do not present a strong response to Putin’s provocations we can expect him to move on the former Soviet satellite states regardless of the economic sanctions and the falling ruble.
