I wonder how many resources the US wasted rallying it's military to get ready to 'intervene' to protect the righteous coup-ers. Or do you think they're more level-headed than that in the high command?
US military command does appear to be more sober based on the articles they put out, but I'm sure US did burn some assets in Russia during this whole affair. I think the interesting outcome here was that pretty much all of the military and political class showed unity, so it's pretty clear there isn't much coup potential in Russia right now and that the political system is pretty stable.
