<p>It&#8217;s not like there&#8217;s ample precedent for realizing that inviting in a country known for invading in its neighbors to help you out is likely to end with them helping themselves to your country.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/04/02/298385578/yanukovych-i-was-wrong-to-ask-russian-troops-into-crimea?">How could he have known</a>?</p>
<blockquote><p>Former Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted after asking Russian troops into Crimea, admits that his decision was wrong, calling Moscow&#8217;s annexation of the Black Sea peninsula &#8220;a major tragedy.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an interview with The Associated Press and Russian channel NTV, he said he made a mistake when he asked Russia to intervene, a move many Ukrainians view as treason.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was wrong,&#8221; he said through a translator. &#8220;I acted on my emotions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yanukovych, who is currently residing in Russia, said he hoped to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to return Crimea.</p></blockquote>
<p>Good luck with that.<a href="http://www.nysun.com/foreign/putin-pockets-patriots-ring/16172/"> Bob Kraft is still waiting for his ring</a> back from Putin.</p>
<blockquote><p>In the weeks leading up to Yanukovych&#8217;s removal from power, more than 100 people were killed by gunfire – many by snipers — but the former leader denied he had any role in their deaths.</p>
<p>&#8220;I personally never gave any orders to shoot,&#8221; he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>He probably was set up. Putin wanted to push the conflict as far as possible and create a state of chaos.</p>
