The same applies to NATO expansion eastwards, proliferation of missile defence and intermediate missiles and so on.
Bottomline the source of Ukrainian problems now is a foreign sponsored coup removing a duly elected leader and capturing power by a group which is not at the least supported by half of the country.
It is wrongly portrayed as a Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
It is not without parallels in history. Moldova is a nice example for them down to near a minor detail.
Now broken and abandoned by all parties after ‘European choice’ played. Officially the poorest nation in Europe.
“the source of Ukrainian problems now is a foreign-sponsored coup removing a duly elected leader...”
Wrong. Their elected leader fled from his very expensive suburban estate with a private zoo in the dead of night after months of peaceful protests in the center of the capital, Kiev.
Now I understand exactly what you’re doing as that’s always the same BS repeated over and over and a rich departure from the truth. The bum, an outright criminal fled to Putin because he couldn’t handle the people rising up in a peaceful protest for months in the dead cold of winter.
Those people took the cold and bullets from tyrants. Yes, tyrants get elected or sometimes almost elected with a little bit of extra ballot help.
