When is the time to say enough is enough?

Putin is not going to just go away. His total control of all media outlets and the voting process ensures that he's not going anywhere anytime soon. His opponents all mysteriously die from poisoning or other mysterious causes. Now all the agents of his recent meddling in the American political process are dying off from the same mysterious causes, closing up all of the loose ends. He is constantly testing our resolve while we flounder about arguing whether global warming is real. As he moves to add the former soviet republics to his criminal empire when are we going to say enough is enough? When the Russian's are in Ukraine? Latvia? Estonia? I served in the military and in most cases would never wish armed conflict on anyone, but when you are obviously being tested there comes a time to push back. A two-bit gangster in charge of a gas station with marginal military strength should not be able to call shots in Europe or the West.

We need to sever all diplomatic relations with the Russian Federation. Your thoughts?
