Recently, after Russia sent troops and occupied Crimea, a Ukrainian peninsula, Obama made a 90 minute phone call to Putin and discussed with him at length the current situation. The White House summarized the message as "President Obama made clear that Russia’s continued violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity would negatively impact Russia’s standing in the international community.”
Acting Ukrainian president Oleksandr Turchynov recently arranged the country's army to be ready.

What in the world is Putin doing? He was already criticized heavily during the Olympics for his gay propaganda laws and now he's occupying Crimea to 'protect national interests'? Something feels very very wrong. Obama's message needs to be stronger. We have no idea what Putin is up to. This could be history repeating itself when the US didn't see Hitler as a valid threat.
