It was exactly what Ukraine was doing, before Vicky Nuland and the Neocons decided to upset the applecart and fund their crazies, like they funded Al Qaeda and ISIS and all the crazies in the Middle East.

The playbook is getting pretty obvious to everyone, except those with their hands over their ears.

Now the next song and dance to distract the proles is waving our fist at China, for letting the bankers ship all our industry over there.

Then they will get bored with Ukraine and fed up with all the dithering out of the Europeans and the helicopters will be lifting off the embassy roof, with Ukrainians dangling from the skids.

Been there, done that.
