Obama Face Reality?

Barack Obama noted that, contrary to Crimea, where the Russian-speaking population was not in danger, in Kosovo, thousands of people were persecuted and killed, and that the conclusion of each crisis was substantially different. The territory of Kosovo took almost a decade to achieve independence in a process that involved the United Nations.

Obama stressed that the resort to force is "proof of less influence, not more," particularly before neighbors of much smaller critical mass than Russia. Obama, however, left out something essential and common to Washington and Moscow.
