So we instigate the problem in Ukraine, but somehow, we have the morale authority to now prevent Russia from coming in to stabilize the situation?
So you're still flying with the CIA organized coup theory, huh? You're talking about the CIA, which is probably the most inept major intelligence agency in the world at the moment and has been for a decade or two now. Their agents can't even keep secret what they had for lunch in their cubicles anymore. Yet we're supposed to believe that they somehow organized a protests of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians against its corrupt, tyrannical (yet democratically elected, admittedly) govt., then forced this govt. to fire upon them, then forced this govt. to flee in the middle of the night without a proper impeachment proceeding, and then installed neo-Nazis in the govt., who accounted for all of 1% of the national vote (excluding the areas in the east of that country, where the REAL fascists kept the locals from participating in the vote).
And we're supposed to believe all this because of a Victoria Nuland phone call wherein she is stating what would be in the US's best interests should the Yany regime collapse, as it appears it was close to doing at that time.
And yet, we're not supposed to believe that Russia, an increasingly nationalistic country, whose upper brass are publicly known to be swayed by ultra-nationalist, REAL fascists like Alex Dugin and other "Le'ts get the band back together" Russian ultra-nationalists doesn't have any role in or responsibility for what's currently happening in Ukraine?
Now, I'm not suggesting that America, the EU, or NATO handled the post-Cold War era very well. To some extent, it pushed Russia (particularly Putin's Russia) to the side. In this sense, some of the reaction on the part of Russia is legitimate. On the other hand, Russia, particularly Putin's Russia, has never really shown strong signs of being a "normal" Western nation. Yes, Putin apparently even inquired about NATO membership, but what was NATO going to do? Accept a country that was fighting a bloody civil war against its on people in the Caucasus? Didn't really seem plausible. And under Putin, Russia has made no real strides towards liberal democracy; in fact, they have retreated further from such values.
But then again, you're no fan of liberal democracy, so I guess it's useless to argue with you concerning the legitimacy of Russia's stance in a "normal," rational international community.
