A win, if Putin backs down out of weakness, I would be to chase his sorry ass out of Crimea. Give him a good reason to never threaten their existence again

The more mature side of me thinks that Putin will eventually get what he wants simply based on the weight of numbers. Putin's "victory" will by pyrrhic, but in the short term, he can only be defeated from the inside. We just need to help the Russian people see the error of their ways. A little economic pain will help. Brains not bullets.

Working Americans are also going to suffer the economic consequences as well, nothing good comes without cost, but that beats Hell out of WWIII. Of course, our top .1% will end up making a killing as usual. It is God's will that the master class prosper.
