I agree. With what we did to Serbia regarding Kosovo, the Russians can claim genocide or some other BS as to why they support the rebels.
I wonder if this has any relation to the massive naval buildup I read about earlier headed to the middle east.

I have no idea if this story is true, but I have seen it in more than one place. I wonder if the Rooskies are just trying to flex their muscle in the region.

The Russians are smart. They know history. They waited for the right moment, when we're over a barrel financially, overextended militarily and when the current administration is at its political nadir. I know they're not angels, but they're smart.
