And so it begins. They will carry the goalposts all the way to Warsaw before standing up to Putin.

What is preventing the US from launching its "overwhelming" sanctions now, other than cowardice and corruption? What do they need from Putin? To store Iranian uranium as part of the deal? What?
As I always feel obliged to do when Putin violates another agreement or norm, I ask to hear from his many appeasers through the years, as he turned Russia into a police state, murdered & jailed my colleagues, and makes war.
No honor among them, no shame, no apologies or mea culpas for years, even decades, of pretending Putin could be an ally, or someone who could be dealt with diplomatically. They should all go to Donbas to see what Putin has wrought with their help.
Obama, teasing Romney for saying Russia was a geopolitical threat, then gifting Putin the infamous Reset. Macron, a pathetic dupe & messenger boy. Merkel, "separating business and politics". The list is endless. All the power in the world but not an ounce of courage.
Putin's NSC meeting made it clear that he isn't being influenced by hardliners. HE is the hardliner and they all cower before him and he listens to no one. It's a one-man dictatorship, brittle and vicious. He will not stop until he is stopped.
