Yes, a Ukranian (or Crimean) official wrote an oped in the WSJ stating that outsiders had encouraged independence. And it's established that the US was involved in that.
I don't know if that was simply part of the US government on auto-pilot or intentional by Obama,
but it was devastatingly stupid.
If someone wanted Putin to invade Crimea, that was the way to inspire it.
