saying that the military intervention was a surprise kind of belies the fact that they were so heavily involved and invested in Ukraine already (Yanukovych being "possibly" installed by the Russians). Not only was it not a surprise, As soon as I heard about riots I knew it was, in many ways, a foregone conclusion.
