Hello Everyone,

This is a time where we can see how our national government reacts to the provocations of President Putin of Russia, with his 30,000 manpower of military surrounding the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine.

What do you think?  Should the U.S. be aggressive up against the Russian occupation of Crimea, or should the U.S. only use diplomatic means and sanctions to bring the Russian President to his senses?

Also, what kind of economic and political repercussions could affect world economy, energy, and globalization because of the escalating situation in the Crimean peninsula?

To my students:  your analyses in a one page blog format to these questions could bring you 3 plus points.

Make a try for it!
