Continue to pursue economic sanctions on Russia to show them there will be negative consequences when they violate international law. Certainly not reward their nefarious behavior as Trump wants to do.Putting aside the absurdity of your comment, since the US had no protection treaty with Ukraine and it was not part of NATO, exactly what do you suggest Obama (and the world community) should have done to stop Russia from annexing Crimea? Start a war with an opponent possessing nuclear weapons?Putin took Crimea under Obama. He would have never done so under a Trump, Bush or Reagan. Maybe a Carter.House passes resolution disapproving of Russia being included in future G7 summits
House passes resolution disapproving of Russia being included in future G7 summits
The House on Tuesday passed a resolution disapproving of Russia being included in future Group of Seven (G-7) summits in a 339-71 vote on Tuesday.
The resolution was introduced by Rep. Albio Sires (D-N.J.) in August after President Trump said in August he believed Russia should be readmitted into the G-7. Russia was expelled from the G-8 in 2014 due to its occupation of territory in Ukraine.
The resolution includes language reiterating the United States’ support for Ukraine while denouncing the country’s occupation of Crimea and destabilization in the region.

Incidentally, they also think all should be forgotten with respect to Russia's attack on our democracy during the 2016 election (and what Russia is currently doing to corrupt the 2020 election according to the intel agencies) because Dear Leader wants them to.
Which begs the question....................why does Dear Leader want them to?
Which brings another question to mind. Why hasn't Trump done...........basically anything...........to help secure the upcoming election from foreign influence? Is his sensitivity to admitting Russia helped him in 2016 so great he refuses to address a dire national security matter for 2020? Apparently so.
Just putting things in perspective.
So what do you propose we do about it now, as the situation has not changed in any way?
Didn't we do just that?
