Putin has no track record of attacking other countries.

See Ukraine, twice!

We fomented an illegal coup in Ukraine and installed a puppet government hostile to Moscow and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine, setting off a civil war.

The Ukrainian people rose up themselves in response to Russian meddling that pressured Yanukovych to betray the EU/Ukraine agreement. You always leave this part out. There was no need for your bogeyman CIA bring to the people out into the streets. Nor was the succeeding government "installed" by the US. It was duly elected by the Ukrainian people, twice. As for the "civil war," this was just a fig leave for a Russian invasion.

That's a lie because those in Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk overwhelming voted for Yanukovych.

They had EVERY right to seek independence after an illegal coup throw Yanukovych out of office and/or join the Russian Federation.

Illegal coups are the opposite of democracy.

The ethnic Russian population was under no obligation to be persecuted and killed by Ukrainian nationalists that came to power illegally.

That you don't understand that is YOUR problem.

And, since you're totally fine with Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis fomenting illegal coups and abusing the ethnic Russian population, you and your ilk deserve to watch Ukraine continue to shrink.

You wanted this war. Don't whine when Russia wins it.
