US President Barack Obama has urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to use his influence to make separatists in eastern Ukraine stand down.

In my opinion this is much better diplomacy from the US side. I do not think it will stop Russia from taking Ukraine but it is still clever diplomacy to put the ball back in the Russian court.
I do not believe it is sensible for the US side to try to intimidate nations. Yesterday USA was trying to intimidate Russia. This will never work.
USA must avoid zero sum politics and never bluff.
Anyway, I say jolly good show.
