We been backing the wrong horse. Putin is not the villian here. Ukraine gov was exiled by fascist forces and we were backing that

Exactly. I also wouldn't be surprised if we encouraged the fascists to stage their coup.

I wouldn't be surprised either. Ukraine couldn't be a pro-US puppet unless it had a pro-US puppet government. And why should Obama care if that pro-US puppet government also happened to be fascist? A win is a win, and after Syria Obama needed a win.

“The report makes clear that the US entered into the Geneva agreement with Russia, purportedly to “deescalate tensions” in Ukraine, in bad faith, intending to use Russia’s supposed breach of the deal as justification for expanded sanctions and a further aggressive buildup of US and NATO forces in Eastern Europe aimed at encircling and strangling Russia.
The dispatch of US troops to Poland is a reckless and provocative move that heightens the very real danger not only of civil war in Ukraine, but of war by the US, Germany and NATO against Russia, a nuclear power. It underscores the fact that the crisis in Ukraine was deliberately provoked by Washington to create the pretext for a political, economic, diplomatic and military offensive against Russia that had long been in the planning.”
