He'll mind his own business, cause it's not our problem. Don't believe that article for a second. We're not stupid enough to go to war against a country with nukes.
I'm guessing he'll do nothing based on his track record so far. Obama is the best speaker we've had since...well...Clinton, but unfortunately all that grand rhetoric and speaking style masks a President that is virtually paralyzed when it comes to making tough decisions. Bush couldn't put two words together without tripping all over himself, but at least you gotta admit he let his actions, right or wrong, speak for him. If Russia tries to put together its old pre-Gorbachev empire, and I'd bet the farm that's what Putin has in mind after sizing Obama up for the last year, the world will watch in horror as all 11 or 12 former satellites are retaken by Russia and the old Iron Curtain goes up, with the possible exception of East Berlin.
The idea that there is any possibility of Russia invading Poland or anything similarly outlandish is, well, outlandish. Poland is part of the European Union, a Union which includes two major nuclear powers (France and the United Kingdom). A declaration of war against Europe would also be a declaration of war against a third nuclear power (the US) and would likely lead to conflict with a fifth (an already Russia-weary China). It would decimate the global economy to a point that would make the current recession seem prosperous. There would be no reason to even considerate it, nothing to be gained.

Quoted for truth - Russia's GDP is less than Italy's. They're in no shape to do anything more than saber-rattling. War is won by logistics, modern war doubly so, and Russia is in no shape to take on NATO.
