Maybe none, maybe Putin cares about sanctions.
After all, Exxon does.
Maybe Exxon's desire to get Russian oil will keep Putin under control?
Things are going to be great, maybe.

US Commander Warns NATO
US Commander Warns NATO Couldn't Repel Russian Baltic Invasion
22 JUN 2016
Agence France Presse | by Frank Zeller with Max Delany in Moscow
NATO would currently be unable to protect the Baltics against a Russian attack, the commander of US ground forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, said in a news report Wednesday.
"Russia could take over the Baltic states faster than we would be able to defend them," Hodges was quoted as saying in a German-language article by news weekly Die Zeit.
The general said he agreed with an assessment by military analysts who claimed that Russian forces could conquer the capitals of Baltic states Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia within 36 to 60 hours.

Well, the Baltic states are
Well, the Baltic states are NATO members. We are required to assist them if they are attacked. If we didn't it would be the end of NATO. However, as was posted above, any possible military response would probably be too late. Even at the end of his term I don't see Obama letting this happen without some response, though.
Trump - not so much.

Obama tells Russia's Medvedev more flexibility after election
President Barack Obama was caught on camera on Monday assuring outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he will have "more flexibility" to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after the U.S. presidential election.
Obama, during talks in Seoul, urged Moscow to give him "space" until after the November ballot, and Medvedev said he would relay the message to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin.
