despite treaties with Gorbechev specifically agreeing not to do such a thing. Not to mention making an issue out of a base they held for hundreds of years in a part of the country that was traditionally russian and majority ethnic Russian. We changed policy, ,broke the treaties and that provoked it. We are the warmongers. The facebook/twitter stuff is probably a response to the conflict, quit frankly. We organized the coup through those media.
