Former world chess champion and Russian human rights activist Garry Kasparov tweeted out his disgust with Barack Obama’s lead from behind foreign policy.
Kasparov described the Obama Doctrine as: “Do as little as necessary to appear to be doing something without actually committing to a cause or course of action.”

That pretty much nails it.
But, Kasparov wasn’t done yet…
He shamed the Obama administration for forgetting the lessons of the past.
That lesson from Cold War has been forgotten in 25 years. EU will fall divided if it doesn't wake up. US also losing its way & its will.

He also blasted the administration for not understanding the historical significance of defending freedom.
West used to understand that defending other nations, other people against dictatorship was also defending themselves & own way of life.

At this point it is difficult to imagine what line Putin could cross to draw more Western response than stern words & weak sanctions.
