Some ideas that have already been proposed.

* Don't go to the G-8 meeting in Sochi
* Pointedly have a G-7 meeting in Poland Finland or Latvia.
* Open US oil and gas exports to eastern Europe, expand our offshore exploration and drilling efforts in the process, send American drilling crews to help Poland and Western Ukrain exploit thier domestic reservs thus robbing putin of his non-military leverage.
* Conduct some small but visible exercises with the Poles and Lats.
* Ask Poland if they still want US military aid and bases, if so build them.
* Find out what the Germans, Fins, and Poles are planning, if anything back them up with real and visible material support.
* I'm guessing that the NSA already knows where Putin and his cronies keep their offshore bank accounts, if not they damn well should, it'd be a shame if something were to happen to that money.
