Breh I've been saying this over and over, but Russia is on the defensive here. I just don't see where you can get the idea that they are going to turn this entire thing around and start running shyt in Central Europe again. They're economy is weak and their military isn't shyt compared to the west. They have a leader that likes to show out in public to hide the fact that his country is, and has been, a declining power over the last half century. In addition, occupying part of a non-NATO country through a somewhat legal process is so far away from going to war with an established NATO country in the heart of Europe. The entire purpose of the organization is to halt Russian advance and the west is just going to sit around and let it happen? nah, not buying it. No one wants a war here, but our hand would be forced.
on the defensive? russia hasn't fired a shot, in a referendum the people voted. Don't be mad at the results.

let me ask you did sanctions etc. work on cuba? ?
Russia still has the second most nukes out of every country in the world and that's all that matters. The same reason why not one us / nato soldier has set foot in north korea.
keep thinking russia is some weak ass fly by the night country with a weak regime, putin will win and obama will look like a fool yet again
