At the end of the day, I wonder whether Putin being in Beijing at the time of the action wasnt in some way organised into the plan...... contingency i.e. just in case there was a major response from the west then Russia would have continuity of government. Now i know the olympic ceremony took away some of the media attention but maybe Putin's presence outside of Russia was contrived in some way.
Russia knew that the global responce would consist of "words" and meetings and nothing more. Besides Russia has never listend to Nato or the USA. The USA or the West wouldent want to even consider going to war with Russia I think they have enough on there hands already. But the timing was sure good
