The author comments on the U.S. foreign policy toward Ukraine following Russia's land grab in Crimea. He asserts that the U.S. and Europe are in no position to force the Russians out of Crimea, but U.S. President Barack Obama can strengthen the sanctions issued to Russia. He urges the U.S. government to focus on helping the Ukrainian economy, rather than resorting to war, to resolve the crisis.
