Obama Issues More Veiled Threats To Putin
Obama essentially stated, in a telephone call to Vladmir Putin, don't cross us

(Washington Examiner) President Obama in a telephone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin told the leader that western nations were "prepared to impose additional costs on Russia" after Putin endorsed a referendum Sunday in which Crimea chose to secede from Ukraine.
Obama told Putin that the Crimea vote -- more than 95 percent favored joining Russia -- “violates the Ukrainian constitution and occurred under duress of Russian military intervention,” according to a White House readout of the call.
