The New Cold War publishes an interview with George Friedman, director of Stratfor (a U.S. intelligence strategic advisory institute) - from way back in March, 2015.

Russia calls the events that took place at the beginning of this year [2014] a coup d’etat organized by the United States. And it truly was the most blatant coup in history.
The interview consists of an extensive Q&A including content such as:
KOMMERSANT: But US officials, as well as the leadership of EU member states, have explained their harsh policy toward the Russian Federation on the basis that, through its annexation of the Crimea, Russia for the first time since the Second World has “redrawn borders by force.”
GEORGE FRIEDMAN: Americans know that this is nonsense. The first example of the changing of borders by force was Yugoslavia. And Kosovo was only the culmination of this process. And the United States is directly involved in these events.
For a reality check, the whole interview is well worth a read even 10 years on.
