Scott Ritter: Removing Putin has been US policy for years

 Regime change has been the US goal in Russia for years — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union - March 30

Barred by Putin from pussyfooting around Russia to foment rebellion, the U.S. government has been reduced to beseeching Russians from afar to overthrow Putin. Very funny; I didn't know that before Scott Ritter's op-ed for RT. 

(As to any accusations that he's a Putin stooge because he published at RT -- what Western news outlet would publish anything he had to say?)
