I have a hard time caring much that Russian troops are digging in there. I mean, Russia used to own the Ukraine. And the Ukraine let Russia have bases there. And the are lots of pro-Russia people there who welcome the troops. There's a sovereignty issue, sure, but I don't see why I should be getting worked up over it.

And why is Obama making it a thing? Russia's going to ignore him. And then he'll look like an ineffectual fool. And the entire US will too. The most we can expect him to do is throw some sanctions at Russia.

Basically, who cares? Why should I care, other than it makes the US look a little bad to let Russia do what it wants?

It's notable that Putin waited until after the olympics so we can't boycott their olympics again.
