Putin Learns The Price of Underestimating Obama

Everyone underestimated him in 2008.

The Republicans figured they had the ACA beat in 2009, only to see it pass, to their impotent fury, in 2010.

Now Putin is finding out the hard way what it means to underestimate Obama.

Europe scrambles to break gas dependence on Russia, offers Ukraine military tie

Visa and Mastercard halted transactions for Rossiya bank. Mr Putin said defiantly that he would make sure his salary was transferred to a new account at Rossiya “first thing Monday morning”.

They also cut off SMP bank, co-owned by Mr Putin’s judo partner Arkady Rotenberg, though the bank itself was not named – evidence that US firms will not take any risks with US regulators...

Tim Ash, from Standard Bank, said Washington is determined to make Mr Putin pay for changing Europe’s borders by force, and will ratchet up “stealth sanctions” by regulatory muscle. “Foreign companies will have to be very careful who their partners in Russia are,” he said.

American agencies will probe deeper into the origin of funds, using money-laundering codes to tighten the noose. Mr Ash said the US will step up sanctions even if there is no direct Russian incursion into mainland Ukraine. Any attempt to destabilise the Ukrainian government will be punished. “The Kremlin has misread the Americans badly,” he said.

OP reads like parody. I'm sure Putin is begging to give back Crimea so that the customers at one bank can use their Mastercards again.

58. And will this make the national news?

Ah, no because the PTB have sold the meme that President Obama is
weak and Putin is strong. Please remember that Obama finished top
of his class @ Harvard Law School and has surrounded himself w/ smart
men and women many of whom hold views that do not go along w/ the
President.

BTW Russia has spent billions in building an infrastructure to get natural
gas to western Europe and if "they" tell Putin that they don't need his gas
then Russia is in a world of hurt.

God is it nice to have a smart President.

Barry went to college…Putin ain't going to know what hit him, his goose is cooked.

Obama and company don't know how to play this game.  Putin has already threatened that if we do anything that hurts their economy that they will destroy ours.

The price is getting Crimea and the Ukraine with not a single shot fired.

Losing Crimea and the Ukraine is a sign of super genius in the SMART Power!!!111111111!!!!elebinty of Obama and his merry band of idiots (past & present Hillary) of withdrawing the USA as the world's super power. Libya loves what "leading from behind" means. Ukrainians are going to know it pretty soon.

Is there any doubt why we have not seen King Barky's college transcripts? At beat I think Obama has a low 80s IQ. The world will hate our affirmative action program within four years.....if they haven't already.

Aside from campaigning, he's never known a damn thing. He's an affirmative action retard that won a popularity contest.

As much as I dislike the man, we have all seen this shit coming since he never really left his Presidential office... even though he was "barred" from ever being President again. I would love to see a chess game, judo match, or even a spelling bee with him and Obama.  I could probably put my house up as a bet that Putin would win any of them.

Seems like he's trying to talk tough, even though everyone knows he'll fold like a lawn chair if Putin calls his bluff.  I'm sure the alphabet networks and CNN will take it seriously, while everyone else in the world tries to suppress their snickers and snappy one-liners.
