The threat quickly got President Obama’s attention, and for good reason. No country has invaded and then annexed part of a neighbor since Saddam Hussein’s Iraq sought to swallow Kuwait in 1990. No such land grab has happened in Europe since the 1930s. A Russian annexation of Crimea would be an extraordinary violation of international treaties and the U.N. Charter. If tolerated by the world, it would open the way for aggression by many other powers with claims on their neighbors, including China.

And that is why its necessary for a show of force. Backing down from Putin and letting him get away with this land grab is a huge mistake.
