President Obama did nothing when Russia annexed Crimea. What happened there then?

You keep saying this but Obama imposed increasingly punaltive sanctions which hit their economy pretty hard. Trump himself has yet to sign off sanctions voted for by congress and criticised Obama/Clinton for their hostile approach to Russia. When we argued on this before and you said we shouldn't upset them.

So do you expect the U.S to declare war on Russia plunging the rest of the world in to a nuclear conflict because you and it doesn't like Putin's new toys ?

No you impose sanctions in the hope it increases political pressure on Putin to play nice.
