You'd have to be literally mentally retarded to think that Putin is doing anything to Obama or the United States in general. Anyone with half a brain knows it's mainly posturing with what little power projection the Russians can actually do now which extends to their bordering neighbors at best. They pretty much rolled out two army corps for the Ukraine and still couldn't get it done outside of the Crimea.

Did you also forget that Russia invaded Georgia during GWB's administration and even less was done? At the very least the sanctions under Obama pretty much imploded several areas of the Russian economy.

Being aggressive to other nations just tends to set us back where as soft influence has traditionally brought them around to the American way of thinking much quicker. Plus it's a little dangerous when two nuclear powers get into a a squabble about one leader's toupee.

There are only two candidates of serious consideration out there and one of them didn't get the nod.

Bernie Sanders for the democrats
Gary Johnson for the Republicans (the actual Libertarian ticket for 2012 and 2016). One of the few conservatives whose head isn't licking his own colon. Although I'm not a fan of his proposed taxation scheme you could certainly do worse.
Putin is well versed on militaristic dealings. He wont strike first, hell wait for china to advance and play the leader acting like a follower. His plan would be to let china take the big hits, come in deal the winning blow to either the US or China, whichever is losing at the time, then rise victorious. Its the smart thing to do
