Anyone living close enough to Russia can attest to the fact that this invasion is just an external consequence of their internal politics.

  The situation is caused by a confluence of US policy and Russian policy. It's not an either-or situation. The complexity is immense.

    Hardly. As someone local to this conflict I see it as a simple matter of Russia needing a war (or just something internally recognized as a "success") from time to time for whatever internal reason du jour. Wouldn't even be the first time it happened in history.
