I haven't seen any clips of Putin sniffing kids, falling down or shaking hands with people not there.
In 2008 George Bush the lesser spoke openly about getting Georgia and Ukraine into NATO - poof - Russia goes to war there to keep it from NATO
In 2014 the unelected kook Victoria Nuland staged a color revolution in Ukraine and deposed leader. Nuland overreached and lost - Putin took Crimea to preserve the port
