Can you picture Putin on his knees earlier today begging a patient President Obama to cut a deal?

In the modern world money talks more than a show of brute strength. President Obama understands that. Too bad his distractors are stuck in the 19th century.

This latest episode with Russia proves once again that Putin, among many other world leaders don't have a great deal of respect for Obama's leadership, and it shows.

Ukraine will not survive without our support now that they have lost Crimea and the oil fields to Russia courtesy of Putin's win.

I think Putin is an idiot unfortunately and a dangerous one at that, I don't think he will take notice of anyone. If the US can't influence him then I don't think any of us can. We will just gave to keep sanctioning him until he relents.

I'm pretty sure it's just another example of conservatives trying to make Obama look bad and hiding when it turns out they're wrong, but they (Putin and Obama) haven't come to terms yet so let's not rush judgment.

Obama is a lilly livered weakling and Putin knows it. Obama has made America a laughingstock.

LOL...Let's wait for the details before we proclaim Obama supreme ruler

No, and he didn't. When I see the Ukrainian flag flying over Sevastopol, then I might consider you credible.

No need, Putin is scoring big already:

Those are some seriously BAD DRUGS you're on, "liberal". Maybe, just maybe, it's time to go for help. Just saying.
