That may well be. It's interesting to watch what happened in the Ukraine. First the NGO's came in and worked to establish a "narrative of illegitimacy" of the elected government.

Then there were massive protests.

Then there were shooting of protesters blamed on the security forces

Finally the elected President fled, and the coup-runners installed their own guy.

Then Crimea's pro-Russian factions began their breakaway.

Then Russia entered on the side of the pro-Russians.

At which point you had full on civil war, with massive weapons of war like tanks and artillery being used.

I expect the run up here to be similar.

A lot of the people participating in the Maiden protests were undoubtably "useful idiots".

And who will provide the weaponry?

The transition from the Cold Civil War (today) to a hot one is going to be quite interesting to observe as it unfolds.

I still can’t think of a better primer for understanding the many currents and cross-currents, both visible and covert, than this book. It’s really a must read for anybody interested in CW2 scenarios. You don’t need to memorize the names, just the organizations and how they interacted.
