Mr. Obama has concluded that even if there is a resolution to the current standoff over Crimea and eastern Ukraine, he will never have a constructive relationship with Mr. Putin, aides said. As a result, Mr. Obama will spend his final two and a half years in office trying to minimize the disruption Mr. Putin can cause, preserve whatever marginal cooperation can be saved and otherwise ignore the master of the Kremlin in favor of other foreign policy areas where progress remains possible.
NASA better have a manned spacecraft capable of reaching low orbit ready right now as the Russians (and possibly the Chinese) are the only ones capable to reach the ISS right this minute.

So far Putin has won every move!
