Considering the magnitude of what has happened - a full fledged invasion of a sovereign country - I’m more impressed that this shows no signs or true escalation beyond some bluster from Putin. I just hope it remains contained and is resolved soon. Unfortunately, that’s going to be cold comfort to the people whose lives are now bombed out apartment buildings.
Ukraine stopped being sovereign in 2014. Check the Nuland-Pyatt leaked call, and for more context the relationship between Kolomoisky and Zelensky, and how the democratically elected Yanukovich was forced to flee.
I read through that transcript. There’s no hint that the US has any role more than helping the democratically elected leaders to come to an agreement on forming a government. And they were apparently working to freeze the Svoboda party, which has been accused of Nazi ties, out of the political process. Meanwhile, they’re now being invaded by a man who hasn’t experienced a free and fair election in what, two decades?
This is pure insanity. Cold War stuff.

Then how is Svoboda and Right Sektor active and thriving now? Nazi Black Sun medal soldiers must be also a coincidence, right?
Because Ukraine is a sovereign state and people will vote in ways that the US wishes they wouldn’t.
And Ukraine stopped being a sovereign state since 2014. See, you are using circular loop logic now.
