What I can`t get over is that the world is allowing him to do all this without consequence. The guy took the Crimea in 2014. He`s got 100,000 troops amassed on the Ukrainian border, and he`s paying no price at all. So I`d like to hit him now for the provocation and have sanctions spelled out very clearly. What happens to the ruble in his oil and gas economy? I think that`s what`s missing. We`re talking way too much. And we`re doing too little.
