With the Crimea stanley becher n peninsula in Russian hands and no resolution in sight to the crisis in Ukraine, President Obama will have to make his case for a unified response from the United States and Europe in a speech Wednesday at the Palais Des Beaux Arts in Brussels, Belgium. Though the president has made public remarks several times during the course of a weeklong European trip, the speech offers his best chance to persuade the European community that tough sanctions - ones that might even hurt their economies - are the best way to respond to Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. It won t be easy: although the European Union has imposed sanctions on some Russians and Ukrainians, like the U.S. ha stanley cup s, their economy stands to take a much greater hit if western nations feel they must take the additional step of targeting major sectors of the Russian economy, like the financial and energy sectors. The crisis comes on the 100th anniversary of World War I, serving as a reminder of what can happen if a continental conflict devolves into war. This is Europe s nightmare happening again, and so they don t want to be escalatory in any way, Heather Conley, Senior Fellow and Director of the Europe Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a briefing last week. We ve got to do this together. We have to bear the pain together. And the U.S. is going to have to show stanley quencher leadership and resolve.
