If that's all you're hearing about then your sources are excluding part of the news.

Yeah, I wish he'd come out tougher on it, though I wasn't able to watch his speech on it yesterday so not sure how that went. He's not a bag of hot air the way Trump was, spouting off "tough guy" words that result in little, so no, he doesn't sound as strong because he focuses more on the real work of it, not just making a superficial display to the public.

But he and other world leaders have been in discussions virtually, they're using sanctions etc, that Putin was predictable in not caring about, but the decisions also have to be a multi-country effort, not just the U.S. going in guns blazing on our dime and stepping on the toes of those countries far more local to Russia, including possible next targets of Putin's, and need to have a bigger voice on the matter.

And being Russia we're talking about, that does need rather careful decision making. That's not dealing with an nest of flustered honey bees, it's trying to figure out how to strategically punt a nest of murder hornets.
