I believe there is more to it than we see in the headlines, the US moves are pretty dumb and suicidal but they keep going into that direction, surely there must be some "hidden" important motives to go that far.
The Americans have to convince themselves that there is a reason to go this far. Putin wants to reassemble the Soveit Union. But Russia is more capitalist then the USA. A new Soveit Union borders wise, is not anything to be feared.
