The outcome will be exactly what Putin wants it to be.
Obama has already shown that he is weak and not even paying attention. If he can't fix the problem with a speech then its time to hit the golf course.
Putin figured him out a long time ago.

"Multiculturalism" does not include the American culture. That is what it is against.

President Obama told the Ukrainians that if they liked their country, they could keep it.
Hmmmm.

At this point one might study the years and events leading up to WWII.
Kerry even looks remarkably like Neville Chamberlain, behaves in the same clueless manner, and seems to have learned nothing from the history of that era.
The question at this point is how far Putin wants to push it. As in the decade leading up to WWII, it looks like he is the deciding factor. We'll see what lesson he takes from that era's history Real Soon Now I suspect.
I hope things turn out better than they did back then...
