Obama's Latest Tactic: "Isolate Russia"

After once again clearly delineating that Russian "costs" are set to surge, and hopefully he means more than just the drop in the Micex and its artificial, paper wealth effect which Putin couldn't care less about as long as crude is soaring...

• OBAMA SAYS INCIDENT WITH UKRAINE WILL BE ‘COSTLY’ FOR RUSSIA

... the US president has laid out his latest tactic:

• OBAMA SAYS HE'S CONSIDERING ECONOMIC STEPS TO ISOLATE RUSSIA

Does he also mean to isolate Russian gas from entering Germany, which just happens to be reliant on Russian imports for a third of its natgas needs? He goes on.

• OBAMA SAYS RUSSIA ON `WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY' IN UKRAINE

Which of course is written by the winners. And the punchline:

• OBAMA URGES CONGRESS TO PROVIDE PACKAGE OF ASSISTANCE QUICKLY TO UKRAINIAN PEOPLE; SAYS SHOULD NOT BE PARTISAN ISSUE ON CAPITOL HILL

Maybe time to send Obamacare to Kiev: so many young, strapping participants just waiting to sign up? Or maybe it just time to raise minimum wages in the Ukraine while giving the local population the safety of mind that comes with investing in the "no risk, guaranteed return" MyRA.

Can someone get this Samantha Power chick off the news? What an embarrassment we have become! Putin is probably barely able to swallow his evening brandy watching these clowns posture.

Great strategy.  Worked for Roosevelt with the Japanese in the lead-up to WWII.  Oh, wait a minute.  That didn't work either.  But, it did enable a lot of bankers to make a shit-load of money financing the war and the rebuilding after the war.
