Putin threatened many things, including shutting off the flow of natural gas to Western Europe, in order to persuade the people of Crimea to join him. But what is his real desire?

What else, if anything, can President Obama and the UN do to reverse this? Is it really necessary? Or should America and others just back off?

Title: Playing the Trump Card
Topic: Foreign Policy

Discussed by Liz Peek

Putin plays in a different sandbox than what Obama plays in. Putin is a man’s man living in a real world where bad guys have guns and are not afraid to use them. Obama throws baseballs like a sissy and plays with weak boys.

The recent addition of Crimea to Russia is similar to Putin’s takeover of Abkhazia and South Ossetia after Georgia elected a pro-western leader. Many experts believe that Putin wants to rebuild the Soviet Empire and protect himself from revolution.
