Response? I cannot recall any response. Please enlighten me about what Obama did?

the obvious one is sanctions and NATO build up in Baltic states. I agree his response was tepid and inadequate.

"never going to consider sending troops" - Which was the biggest mistake. US tropps could have sat down. Putin would not have dared.

I don't think you understand me. The US could have sent tropps under pretext of friendly exercises. Presence would have been enough.

the US does not perform military exercises in Europe. NATO does.
