Interesting perspective on the situation in Ukraine

Saw this article and find it to be quite interesting. I believe the author is an Obama apologist calling his inaction a "strategy" seems to be a stretch but the basic premise does seem to hold true. What are your thoughts RP?

Obama's strategy of letting Putin hang himself is working

Putin may have been defeated in Ukraine by his own over-reach — with some assistance from the US.

I don't think that there was anything we or NATO could have done to prevent what happened in Crimea. Of course, had the Ukraine been a member of NATO, none of this would have happened. I see it as a Cold War relic just flexing his muscles while he still can. He may take some more lands in the East, but ultimately, we aren't going to go to war with Russia... and he knows that. Everyone knows that. We spent half a century 'not' going to war with Russia. In fact, it's one of the things we do best.
