Neither Obama or Kerry seem to realize that when you take a position on the international stage, if you are not willing to back up those words, the people will not take you seriously anymore.
It's true in pretty much any business. It's just neither Kerry or Obama have every been in the real world.
Or Dick Cheney?

If you think that Putin would be pulling this stuff with Bush and Chaney your deluding yourself.
Note that Chaney made no mention of "red lines". His public response was measured and calm.
And other pressure would be applied behind the scenes to the Russians. Maybe some loans might not be approved by the World Bank, or some other type of economic sanctions could be "promised".
Oh, and your claiming that in '08 when the Bush Administration was on its way out, it was supposed to publicly escalate tensions with Russia? Imagine the howls coming from the Left. All outgoing administrations are careful about what they leave on the plate for an incoming one.
I'm sure Obama will be different though. He simply doesn't care.
