American operatives fomenting revolution ala Libya and Egypt???

[Errant]

Who was the state department person who said "F..." the EU, and why?!!!

Our recent history of meddling in the affairs of other states is well known and Putin is using common knowledge to Russia's advantage.

“American operatives fomenting revolution ala Libya and Egypt???”

Putin wasn’t happy about being lied to by Obama about Libya.
When Obama threatened to do the same thing to Syria, Putin put a few ships on the line and said “NYET!”. Obama panicked and backed down.

Then the angry, embarrassed Obama and his drones saw destabilizing Ukraine as a way to “get at” Putin strategically, and now that too is back-firing.

That incompetence and foreign policy ideology is handing Putin opportunities to settle old scores, on a silver platter.
