1. Very good summary. One caveat:

Crimean autonomy is glossed over in the video. People might want to read up on that to get sone more details. Otherwise, spot on and very entertaining. Putin does correlate with poison

2. Nice, if you want the U.S. press version of how this all went down, though I think

it would have been more interesting if he had mentioned we spent $5 billion on the groups whose protests unseated their pres,

and that there is more than a little question about who actually killed the protestors, and may well have been the one of the groups that we were supporting,

But I'm sure the anti-Russianistas will love it, as will any bible-thumping "real" American
