I feel bad for Ukraine, they don't deserve this violence being brought to them by Putin, and no, I don't give a shit about NATO expansion and all of the other reasons Putin has concocted to justify invading Ukraine.
Putin didn't want Ukraine to be a democracy that sided with Europe, he wanted it to be more like Belarus - in the Putin camp.
Ukraine rejected Putin's plan for Ukraine and now they're paying for it with their lives and possibly even their independence. And, yes, it's likely that the CIA and other intelligence agencies were involved in the Euromaiden revolution that tossed Yanukovyc out on his has ass in 2014.
But that doesn't mean the people of Ukraine didn't want the 2004 Constitution restored and for alliances with Europe to be strengthened. After Yanukovyc left Ukraine, according to Russian politician Oleg Mitvol, Yanukovych bought a house in Barvikha for $52 million on 26 February 2014.
So we can see which way Yanokovyc went and why. It makes sense that the Ukrainian people didn't want him. It also makes sense that the US and EU governments would also support the Ukraine in its efforts to not side with Russia. You have to also take into consideration how fragile Ukraine's democracy was in 2014. All democracies are fragile, but Ukraine's was particularly vulnerable with several powerful external forces yanking on it.
But even still, it's hard to see how Ukraine beats Russia. Unless Putin dies and someone else takes over Russia who disagrees with the war in Ukraine, Russia will never stop. Putin will sacrifice as many people and as much military weaponry as it takes to break Ukraine's will to fight.
