Guys...what are we going to do about Russia?

All joking aside, Russia is seeming to outright invade Ukraine, BOLD-FACED LIE about it to the international community despite overwhelming evidence, and suffer no meaningful consequences that it seems to GAF about. Sanctions hurt Russia's economy, and Putin's popularity increases.
Do we let Ukraine fall? Some of it (Crimea)? More of it (Donetsk/Luhansk/Mariupol)? All of it (see Putin's comments today re: taking Kiev in 2 weeks if he wanted to)?
Ok, so say we do nothing, since Ukraine =/= NATO. What happens when they frick with Lithuania? I mean what REALLY HAPPENS...not "that's arse cause NATO herp derp!!". These frickers are armed with a frickton of nuclear weapons, and appear to be emboldened, isolated, and crazy. No matter how much we have in terms of military might, if we can't stop nukes from vaporizing western and/or American cities, then what good is a bunch of tanks an. Aircraft carriers? I'm not sure Russia's current regime is concerned about MAD.
Seriously...if Russia outright fricks with NATO (e.g. invades the Baltics to "protect ethnic Russians from persecution"), what is the immediate response from NATO and the West? From China?
What would a Russia vs. NATO war look like? Nuclear or conventional?
Would Russia have any allies in a war against NATO?

Obama will draw a line in the sand that Russia dare not cross.

Obama will give them a stern warning. Worry not.

It's looking more like the only reset button Russia is interested in is the button that resets civilization.

Putin is just taking advantage of Obama's "flexibility" he was telling them about.

Dude, calm down. If you think Russia isn't concerned with mutual assured destruction in the case of nuclear war then you are being overwhelmed with sensationalist thinking.

Probably what we did in 1956, 1968, 1979 and 1983 and 2008-- you know contain them to their near frontier, and hope they're not dumb enough to invade a NATO member.

Obama will draw a line with his pen that Russia dare not cross or he will call and give Putin the what for.

Ok, what would you do?

Honestly,there is not really anything other than sanctions that we can do. With that being said,Obama is still a lying spineless weasel.

What do you think Obama should do, or has he done what you think is proper.

Humanity has become a virus on the surface of the Earth. I think this might be a good thing. It's like George Carlin said the Earth isn't going anywhere, we are. Humans are just too arrogant to see themselves as a part of nature. End of rant.

Some of y'all are nuts and think shite you see in video games could happen in real life
Russia, nor anyone, will ever attack or bomb or nuke American soil.
