The real problem is that we have NO IDEA what the truth is. Obama says whatever, and these guys can put on a better productiion than Steven Spielberg. Putin knows Obama is a manchurian president, and he could easilly called him out for many crimes, that he simply continues to only hint at. They are pretending to have animosity.
What if this is all a plan to put Ukraine in Russians hands? While feigning opposition. This pretense is exactly what Narco Nation’s presidents do in the face the drug trafficking and criminal consequences.
The Deception Called out about Soros in Ukraine

The author claims NATO is the most pro US organization in thw world, but I think the organization has obviously been compromised years ago. Afghanistan is flooding world markets with cheap, pure, dangerous, heroin while NATO nations see no evil.
Soros Undue Influence in NATO Since 2000

NATO compromised by Soros et al

NATO nations are busy guarding production and steady flow.
Taliban cut the poppy production to zero and it threatened world financial markets (heroin is reserve currency). As a result, they were bombed to the stone age, Afghanistan invaded and poppy production re-established and inceased manyfold. As a result of extreme output, prices fell.
Beside being reserve currency, heroin is a weapon, the number of junkies skyrocketed in Iran and Pakistan, and growing fast in Russia. It was not possible with expensive heroin, but possible with cheap one. Supply driving demand.
As of some strange collusion going on in Ukraine, it could be you are right, something is amiss.
1. Ruskies were building Commmand and control centers under the guise of Olympics, yet NATO did not "see it" but they could see $50B money being looted. Only fool can believe such amount of money can be stolen (10 Ton trailer full of gold is $400M)and not thinking where it really went (you know, $3,500 toilet seats and $150 washers in Pentagon reports).
2. NATO did not see that Russia will return Crimea to Russian fold. (Only dummies did not know that Crimea was given to Ukraine by drunkard Ukrainian peasant Khrushchev in 1954).
3. Unusually high losses of Ukraine Army caused by falling into encirclement after encirclement and destroyed by pincer movements, as well as extremely high losses of AF. As if someone is in a hurry to disarm them.
4. Absolute radio silence about MH17 in the last 30 days. U.S. NATO and Ukraine are silent because being caught red handed, Russia is silent because have the upper hand of evidence. How they played their upper hand?
Methinks there are many hidden hands in this conflict (oligarchs, their "business" partners in Ukraine, Russia and the West) hawks and doves in various governments. We see only the shadows on the wall.
