When Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, Obama offered thoughts and prayers to the Ukrainian people--then led the US and EU to orchestrate a set of international sanctions on Russia and imposed them. Putin is still squealing to get out from under them.

When he learned of Russian interference in the US election, Obama immediately expelled 35 diplomats and slapped individual sanctions on individuals and two of their intelligence services.  He did not wait a week to do this.

Based on Obama's past behavior, why would you suppose in the case of last week's attack on the UK he would only "threaten" sanctions?  What is Trump doing?
