> no other country has joined the fight Yet they'll supply weapons. Seems obvious why countries aren't willing to enter direct conflict with Russia, so I won't waste my time. > Your link related to Yushchenko says that he was allegedly poisoned by three Ukrainians. The link also points out they were likely compromised or held allegiance to Russia. Any assertion that this as being a domestically led coup is mind boggling. Especially in the wake of the election scandal. > Majority of people of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhask regions were against the association with the EU as your own link says. I suppose you could just drill down to whatever sub-population of a country you want and the dissenting view becomes the majority. But every time I hear this disingenuous argument, it seems to be forgotten that Russia's military ambition at the outset was to secure all of Ukraine. > That "mistake" doesn't look to me like a desire for congenial and cooperative relationship with Russia. Russia, under Putin's leadership, had long made the west aware it was going to play dirty. The possibility for a cooperative relationship between Russia and the west vanished when a man driven by resentment towards the west became the most powerful figure in the country. I could dive into this, but it's not worth my time. I'm sensing you have a partisan conflict here, so I'll leave you to have the last word.
