The Obama administration has refined the practice of “regime change,” moving away from old-fashioned tanks in the street or overt invasions by U.S. troops, opting instead for “democracy promotion” that relies on “information warfare” to unseat elected governments disfavored by Washington, says Ted Snider.
Ted Snider reveals the pattern that has been SOP at least since the CIA-M16 engineered overthrow of democratically elected Iranian PM Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1952. Because "American exceptionalism" and America's "manifest destiny."

An excellent article that ties the "democracy promotion" regime change efforts together.
If Putin would not have turned off the gas a couple of years ago this would not be happening...

What's to prevent him from turning off the gas this winter?
It was all Obama's war?

Putin isn't a ranking member of Wall Street, that's what prevents him from turning off the gas. It might be political or perhaps he doesn't want to see freezing and starving refugees flooding into Russia?
Otherwise he would simply arrange for the IMF to lend the money to the gas users, who would in turn, send that very same money back to Putin for the gas.
Enriching Putin and placing the users under the yoke of IMF debt and IMF austerity diktat.
That or freeze to death.
