So you and Putin decided this !
Its nice your quoting Putin propaganda here.

The Crimean people who are not all transplanted Russians decided to stay with the Ukraine.

Putin finally resigned from the active state security services with the rank of lieutenant colonel on 20 August 1991 (with some attempts to resign made earlier),[31] on the second day of the KGB-supported abortive putsch against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.[32] Putin later explained his decision: "As soon as the coup began, I immediately decided which side I was on", though he also noted that the choice was hard because he had spent the best part of his life with "the organs".[33]

Putin was not ever head of the KGB.

How’s that old saying go: “Possession is 90% of the law” (something like that)

Of course he wasn’t. George HW Bush was head of the CIA, however.

It may be that WE recorded it and it got leaked....the old open mike thing....Of course we would blame it on Russia. So how did Russia get it?? Half the country is Russian.

Anyways the point is....we were antagonists in all this....stirring the pot....

We congratulate the ELECTED President.....then one week later....disavow him.

Is it possible — I’m just surmising — is it actually possible that Barry isn’t the Messiah, that his Lackey’s aren’t all geniuses, and that the Keystone Cops are a virtual brain trust compared to the minions running our government right now?

I know that’s a revolutionary thought.

But, it appears the ObamaCare WebSite was the High Mark of his Presidency

What difference, at this point, does it make?

The fuss comes when the Russians start moving west, into the Ukranian-speaking territories.

I didn’t say he was a good guy. I said he didn’t come to power through heading the KGB.
