There's no doubt that the US gave a little push to Ukraine to get them going in a more desirable direction, but Euromaidan was going to happen regardless and that's the reason Yanukovych fell, it was not US interventions that caused that. And the Ukrainians deciding to democratically elect the former comedian/actor Zelenskyy and push more towards EU/NATO alignment is their decision as a sovereign nation. Again, I maintain that Russia's actions are not justifiable, in any way. The fact that they use the claim of "denazifying" Ukraine shows how sincere they are.
For what it's worth, I don't see any compromise that doesn't involve Ukraine losing at least DPR/LPR and probably Crimea. EU/Ukraine/Russia need to agree to hold democratic elections in those territories and agree to abide by the results. If they vote one way or another that's accepted and the end of it.
Propaganda is very high right now. From both sides.
Lies through the teeth are casual news these days.

The posted video is, in fact, a very long playlist. Seen in there some very scary things that allegedly happened in Ukraine. Maybe Ukrainian users here can infirm/confirm those videos. Those are not the only ones that diverge from the official narrative. There is also a couple of episodes documentary/interview with Putin.
So far, to me Putin was more convincing than the Jews. I was never a sympathizer, nor a hater of any of them, it's just how it seems to me. Very sad that the Ukraine people right now are sacrificed, and the whole western world is getting serious financial and economic damage too, by corrupted government and stupid blanket laws. The ones who prosper are those who sell and test weapons. The "help" for Ukraine is not free, it's in fact debt to be payed maybe 2-5 generations from now on. The very few, very rich, and very powerful globalist are the only ones that will benefit. We are all (in the West) spending money for the generations to come right now. More borrows, more interest, more independence lost for financial clemency.
The very rich will get richer, the rest will get poorer, and plenty of youngsters will be killed in the process. I think it's time to speak our minds, or get economically enslaved for the next 50-100 years to come, maybe thrown in a WW3 that will trash the whole Western world.
The Ukraine war was to come, and prepared for almost a decade now.
I'm afraid Ukraine is just the scapegoat here, the bet is much higher.
I'm very sad for all the civilians and the soldiers too, both Ukrainian and Russian, and other nationalities, too.
