CIA and others like were mentioned in Russia assessment sent to Obama and other nation leaders. So they may very well have some clout in persuading Obama to back off.....I'm sure they don’t want to get caught with their pants down either. They've been operating in Kiev since before the revolution, and this escalated during and after the coup....both on the ground and in the air.
