Putin rose to power after the collapse of the Soviet Union by restoring national pride. Putin will retaliate this time for increasing sanctions and the Russians will rally behind him as they will see these sanctions as an attack on that national pride. Hillaryous' meddling in Russian elections was viewed as an attack on their national pride then we feign outrage when they openly oppose Hillaryous as President.
Sanctions on Russia will hurt the poorest of Russians and this will only shore up resistance to working with us to fix problems like North Korea. Shoving our military might in Putin's face does nothing to help us. It just pushes Putin to work with China because Putin can launch more nuclear missiles at us than we can at them. Putin knows we will never strike first so he can maneuver where ever he sees will cause us the most discomfort.
There is no carrot and stick policy to be had. Iraq and Iran are teaming up now ISIS is out of Iraq and they're working with Russia as we impose more sanctions on Iran. Trump can just throw his hands in the air and tell Putin Congress will override his veto so this cluster fuck has no where to go but down.
So don't be feigning outrage as Putin continues to disrupt everything we try to get accomplished. Obama blew it Syria. Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Russia are all going to kick sand in everyone's face now.
You don't get starving people to cooperate by starving them more.
The solution is empty stomach economics. Make their lives better. Quit pissing in their Cheerios.
