Vladimir Putin’s Russia seized Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula by force on the weekend and now has his sights on the rest of his Slavic neighbor. The brazen aggression brings the threat of war to the heart of Europe for the first time since the end of the Cold War. The question now is what President Obama and free Europe are going to do about it.

Russian troops have invaded Ukraine’s territory and now control all border crossings, ports and airports in Crimea.

The new government in Kiev responded by putting forces on high alert.
