The reason I chose this article is because the President Obama and the European Union have been having trouble with the Russia/Ukraine situation for some time and there has yet to be a solution.The article is about how the U.S. and E.U. are adding additional sanctions on the sanctions that have already been placed on the Russians. The Pro-Russian rebels who are located in Ukraine are believed to have shot down the Malaysian Airline Flight 17, which is part of the reason for the sanctions. This will also impact companies like BP and Bank of America. President Obama believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin will cave and pull the rebels out of the Ukraine.

Questions:
Do you agree with President Obama's decision to impose these sanctions? Why?
Is it better for the U.S. to get involved or stay on the sidelines and why?
