If we don't respond, he's going to continue to expand their reach in to additional democracies in an attempt to destabilize the West, making it harder to stop his mob-nation from bleeding dry the citizens of Russia and any occupied territories.

You might remember perhaps Europe in 1939 and 1940.

I guess the question is what response should we make? We could try, and apparently are going to try economic sanctions, but those seldom if ever do much of anything especially since Putin doesn't play by the rules of civilized society. I guess we could prop up NATO more, but will that do anything but provoke a larger war?

I'm all for stopping Putin, but I'm not sure anything short of U.S. involvement in a war in Eastern Europe is going to actually stop him and I don't think we really want to get involved in a war in Eastern Europe.
