``By orchestrating a coup in Kiev in February of this year, American strategists were gambling on the seizure of Crimea, home to the Black Sea Fleet. Sevastopol in NATO hands would have drastically curtailed Russian influence in the Eastern Mediterranean while ensuring Russian vulnerability to US missile defense and first strike assets. Moscow's hold on the North Caucasus (and even the Volga Basin) would also inevitably come under challenge, given Washington's history of generating chaos through webs of foundations and aid agencies. Due to Putin's quick action, instead of evicting the Kremlin from Crimea, the State Department and CIA unwittingly played catalyst to the peninsula's reunion with its historical motherland. This bloodless victory constituted an intolerable affront to the vanity of America's policy elites, sending their demonization campaign into overdrive. ''
