Play the counterfactual. If Obama had bombed Syria in 2013 (which I supported), you really think Putin would have thought in 2014, 'oh no, oh dear, I better not seize Crimea, because Obama might bomb Moscow?' That's really naive. You dont know Putin. Or the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

@C_Ladkani @McFaul Forgot about this. 100%. The fake red line completely exposed Obama’s weakness and resolve and Putin knew it.
