MSNBC host Rachel Maddow asserted Monday that George W. Bush, who exited office in 2009, is ultimately at fault for the current Ukrainian crisis.

Ms. Maddow told colleague Andrea Mitchell that Mr. Bush’s entire Middle East policy has led to several overseas conflicts, from the Iraq War to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine dispute.

The idiot ignores the fact that  Crimea is the only warm water port for Russia.

I read “Novorossiysk'' is not a  good location because it doesn't have the existing natural deep  depth that the  harbour Sevastopol has so it is used mostly for civilian shipping.

"Novorossiysk is not an ideal location because it doesn't have the natural deep sea harbour Sevastopol has, and the commercial port operations limit the available space," says a foreign military official in Moscow. "But it is the only option if they are forced out of Sevastopol."

All eyes are now on Novorossiysk, a city on the Black Sea coast between Sochi and Sevastopol, which is already Russia's largest commercial port. Here, Moscow has been building naval infrastructure including a deep sea terminal.

But while the Russian Navy has started using the port for smaller naval vessels and a supply point, this work arguably is still at an embryonic stage. It will be very difficult to replace Sevastopol.

I did it to  stir things up.  But Maddow probably believes Bush is to blame.

where Ms. Maddow said “Bush is to blame for the Ukraine crisis.”

...and seeing his soul, so why wouldn't Putin think he could get over on Obama too?

Sent in the US marines to Russia's back yard?

Boy, you must have set your tinfoil hat on 'high' to receive this signal: "...talking points created by Foggy Bottom spin doctors designed to smeer a thin veneer of lipstick on the foreign policy debacles they frequently create in order to advance the military hegemony of NATO and the EU up to the Russian frontier.
