IYO, what should the US do in response to the Russian actions in the Ukraine?

Forget what you think WILL happen given Obama being Putin's bitch (which I feel safe in saying is the overwhelming opinion on this board). What do you think the US SHOULD do, and why?
Explain why you believe your proposed approach is the best course of action for the US in the long term.
I can see both the "none of our business, stay out of it" and the "project force to maintain world order" opinions. I'm trying to form mine given long term consequences of each course of action (and any alternatives).

Well, Ted Cruz says we should kick them out of the G-8.

IMO we should put diplomatic and economically pressure on them and let them know we are serious about military intervention of they can't work it out. If crimea really wants to be Russian then let Russia and Ukraine work out a diplomatic solution.

If they haven't already, wait for Ukraine to ask for our help and then see what level of sabre rattling we need to exhibit.

I asked the same thing the other day, and nobody seemed to have a suggestion. But there was a lot of discussion about Obama being weak and soft, so you should expect a lot of that here.

Tactically nuke St. Petersburg, Moscow, Volgograd and Vladivostok.

Scramble the B-52s.

I'm going to drink beer and watch True Detective. Obama should keep his mouth shut unless he plans on actually doing something. Eta: I agree with kicking them out of the G-8.

Have 15 billion in aid ready to smooth transition of Russia cutting off economic trade. Begin moving supplies and peacekeepers into the country. Skip G-8 with Russia with threat to kick them out. Start new talks of missile defense. Begin moving support to remove Russia from WTO.
Maybe some of this isn't possible but find ways to hurt Russia economically.

Nothing. With Obama as president was risk Putin embarrassing the US even more?

We should do absolutely nothing. It has nothing to do with us and we should not get involved in any way.

Has anyone looked at if from this perspective -- Russia is doing what they're doing in response to what the US and western powers have done in the Ukraine.
If you think you're being told the truth think again.
