Ukraine crisis and Russia's new aggressive stance has undermined the diplomatic world map and force the President of the United States ( U.S. ) to review the Obama foreign policy .
Ukraine crisis diverting short-term economic agenda of Obama , even in an election year is very important . The crisis has given rise to political complications , among them U.S. pressure against Russian President Vladimir Putin .
The White House on Wednesday said the Obama administration is preparing sanctions more firmly against the Kremlin . Especially before the negotiations is scheduled for Thursday in Geneva . If Russia - in - negotiations showed no signs of escalation of tension will decrease , it is possible sanctions will be exacerbated .
" We do not need war , " said Obama told CBS News . " What we need is the recognition that the world countries , such as Ukraine , could relate to the neighbors . " And , continued Obama , other countries do not need to violate the sovereignty of Ukraine .
In the long term , the West clash with Russia over Ukraine could approach the attack in formations of the Cold War . If it happens , the implications for the Obama administration will expand. Not only domestically , but also a global scale , including Europe , the Middle East and Asia .
Obama's efforts to reduce nuclear weapons , which made a lot of progress , are now in doubt . The idea about the missile defense system in Europe is likely to get more attention . The idea of missile defense had slipped in the last few years . Obama at odds with the current Russian president , Dmitry Medvedev .
Washington and European countries might have to re- consider the military budget reduction plan .
Berlarat - Larat deadlock between the U.S. and Russia will raise questions about Moscow cooperation , both in Syria and riot control Iran's nuclear program .
In Asia , the U.S. and China relationship has become important . Strengthening relationships needed to offset the chill both the U.S. and Russian relations . At the same time , the change will complicate Obama's efforts to control the influence of Beijing in Asia Pacific .
Another problem concerns the White House focus overseas to move the pivot to Asia . Washington 's attention in this effort is likely to be reduced , because the problem in Europe needs greater attention .
Senator John McCain of the Republican Party emphasizes it by the conflict Ukraine , Wednesday. He warned the White House to shift the thinking of Russia . Now , he said , all became clear that Moscow has taken a " dark path " under Putin .
" We need to recognize the fact and make policy on this basis : President Putin , and his desire to restore the imperial domination of the countries of the Soviet Union , would bring geopolitical challenges . Not only for the countries neighboring Russia , but our vision over Europe , "said McCain .
" We need to prepare - off of effort and best intentions since 1991 - more competitive relationship with his Russian President Putin . "
In the end , the Ukrainian crisis can challenge Obama's foreign policy : will fundamentally change the U.S. role in the world , easing through involvement in foreign conflicts . At the time of rising tensions , Putin's actions could rearrange foreign policy .
White House officials privately acknowledge , U.S. relations with Russia would not be able to recover all of Obama 's leadership over the past 2.5 years . The White House continued to expect Russia to cooperate in nuclear talks with Iran , Syria chemical weapons destruction also . But other sectors , such as trade , tend terlibas .
U.S. officials that Obama's plan to spend a lot of time in Europe . There, he is expected to meet the demand for Eastern European countries to the presence of personnel of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) .
Hope that , in turn , complicate Obama's promise in Asia . In next week's visit to Japan , South Korea , Malaysia and the Philippines , challenged Obama to reassure Asian partners , that they are still U.S. priority .
At the same time , the Beijing Obama should emphasize two points . First , that the efforts of Putin that Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine can determine their own destiny against the interests of China in Asia . Second , Russia disturb global stability , something important meaning for China .WSJ
