It's because it challenges a strongly held world view and is therefore very hard to swallow.

  And the fact that US and some other NATO members do sketchy shit across the world isn't a strongly held world view? In my experience it's not controversial at all to suggest the US does stuff like fund nun-raping El Salvadorian mercs. I get it, I'm american and I love blaming my government too because they pretty often deserve it. People practically salivate to blame everything on the richest NATO nations like US/UK/France but often can't handle the notion that a disgusting dictator got ass-raped via knife by a bunch of pissed off locals and the entire thing wasn't orchestrated step-by-step by some dude in a suit in the Pentagon. Of course I don't deny the US cheered the whole thing on by showering the opposition with equipment and cash, there's nothing the Pentagon and White House love more than a good 3rd world blood orgy.

    And now Putin is destroying a country of 40 million people because he believes that this is what WE have planned for him. With good reason. We probably do. Yeah we do love a good 3rd world blood orgy. We will keep loving it until one day it spills over to where we live. By that time it'll be a decade or so too late.

      And do you think destroying Ukraine has improved Putin's chance of avoiding 'what WE have planned for him' (whatever that is)?
