Obama's Strategy of Letting Putin Hang Himself is Working (Max Fisher) from Vox
"The official US position has been to threaten broader sanctions that seem unlikely to get the European support necessary to make them hurt, while arguing that Russia's actions will be so self-defeating that the problem would just sort itself out. It sounded silly, a shrug of a policy. ... But it also turns out to be working surprisingly well. ... This has been so effective, and has apparently taken Putin by such surprise, that after weeks of looking like he could roll into eastern Ukraine unchallenged, he's backing down all on his own."
