I do not blame Putin one bit for what he is doing. If I were Russian, I'm 100% sure I would be supporting his advances at the moment. NATO has pushed too far into Russian "territory". Putin has taken notice of NATO's weakness after 13 years fighting in Afghanistan, it is the perfect time to move. NATO countries are war weary and desire no fight. Press your advance and get as much as you can out of this. Couple that with a perceived weak military leader in Obama and it's a no brainer for the Russians. I'm surprised more people don't recognize the Russian side of this.
