i'm not saying the USA wasn't involved in the Ukrainian Coup of 2014, nor am i saying i support the Ukrainian Coup of 2014.
but i can recognize those as truth, recognize it's bad, and still say Russia invading Ukraine is worse. the idea that you think a coup, which killed many less people than the Russian invasion, is worse than the Russian invasion is odd.
it's also odd to me that people seem to constantly say "US flooding weapons and influence into Ukraine is bad" and also "Ukraine bombing Donbas and other western regions of the country isn't Russia's fault". when the separatists there were Russian supported. literally the exact same thing the US did.
Russia lost influence from an internal coup with external support, russian separatists fled west where pro-russian Ukrainians have always been, russia gave them weapons and support, Ukraine fought them. yet somehow in your eyes only the USA is bad? lolwut.
I never said i was ok with russia invading ukraine, just saying it was provocated.
Just use your own logic, if russia made a coup in mexico, wouldn't be it a provocation ? how would react usa ? we know it.
Your story is also wrong as the separatists never attacked first, instead the new regime bombed them immediately. There was a french reporter woman in dombass who made sveeral videos interviewing the people there. It's worth looking at before fixing your opinion.
