'US Foreign Policy Blowback': How US Disregard for Intl Law Set Stage for Crimean Crisis.
To be fair to Obama, I should point out that Putin has done some of the same bad things.
- Putin's FSB (formerly the KGB) is not snooping much on Americans, but it is surely snooping on Russian dissidents and journalists.
- The US intervened in Afghanistan in alliance with one group, against others. The Soviet Union, in which Putin worked for the KGB, did the same thing.
- I presume Russia's constitution has some equivalent of the Bill of Rights, and Putin is trashing it energetically by repressing Russian journalists and dissidents.
- Putin probably has a list of Chechen terrorist suspects to kill.
