A few days ago, Obama answered some questions in the Netherlands, while at a Nuclear Summit with other world leaders. He bristled at a question about Romney being right two years ago about Russia/Putin. He poked the BEAR. Called Russia a “regional” threat, belittled Putin and Russia for their actions in taking Crimea. So now, Russia/Putin must respond to prove they are not indeed a regional power. So will their next move be courtesy of Obama and his poking.

Regional is questionable. Syria is not near Russia. Iran is not in Russia’s region. Europe is not Russia’s region. Putin and Russia play a big role in all these issues so they aren’t just a regional threat.
