"... Moscow only understands the stern language of action and resolve ..."

Forget Iran, North Korea and China ... Go after Russia says the Weekly Standard', here
"... No one wants to be drawn into conflict with the Russians. But it's useful to remember that time after time, we've extended our hand to Moscow only to have it slapped away. Putin clearly has grand aspirations for his burgeoning CSTO, with Poland shaping up to be the new Germany in another round of US-Russian geo-political chess. If Moscow only understands the stern language of action and resolve, then the Obama administration must atone for shabby treatment of our key Polish allies and move quickly to strengthen defensive ties between our two nations."

The Weekly Standard never rose about the nonesense of WINEP. However, in this piece, they establish a new paradigm: they are now way below WINEP! A nice confrontation with Russia will do! We have seen the resolve of the US, the EU in Georgia. Uberfieldmarshal Billy (the fool!) Kristol will marshal the troops against the Bears (not the Chicago Bears although even there he may also 'fumble' the ball!)
