Ukraine again

As said here previously, Putin will invade eastern Ukraine, and NATO and the U.S. have no answer.  Putin does not care about economic sanctions when he has broad Russian nationalism to fall back on.  His raising of pensions and unemployment pay in Crimea to Russian standards, not so great but much better than Ukraine's, set the regional economic bias for change.  Sit back for more of Obama and Kerry rhetoric.  They have no choice at this point.  Earlier backbone would have been better.
