I have no love for Russia, but the problem is not the CIA. Is is fundamental islam, and Russia is a “federation” held together by fear and intimidation. Now that putin has been forced to pull forces from these regions for his war, his ability to project that control has weakened
Moscow and St. Petersburg and ethnic Russians in the western parts of the country largely benifits from the work and resources of the east, but those easterners see little benifits from this “arrangement”
As putins grip on these regions continues to weaken, there will be much more of this.
Since putin loves to cite history for his actions, that same citations can be used by many especially the Chinese.
This happenned because Ukraine announced they would unleash terrorism within Russia, and at the precisely the same moment as the missile attack in Crimea. The reason this happened is growing frustration within Ukraine at seeing the FAB3000 and their inability to effectively utilize air defense against aviation. Ukraine is now in panic. Russia has been keeping a list of Westerner’s and from Ukraine who advocate and push breaking up Russia. The central thesis of these people are terrorist attacks inside the Muslim areas to stir dissent. Russia has excellent relations with these people. This has Ukraine’s ISIS fingerprints all over it.
