It's as if we live in an alternate reality in which post WW2 we didn't see dozens of countries governments overthrown in various parts of the world by the US government. This isn't Russian propaganda, it's literal documented history, where we know the CIA overthrew, supported coups, uprisings many of them armed by us of many governments spanning across Asia and South America.
People have to bring their views to logical conclusions honestly. If we know that this was the modus operandi for the US/CIA all throughout the Cold War, even post Cold War with places like Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. why is it all of the sudden so hard to believe that Ukraine is different and what we've seen happened there was totally organic.
Like if this accusation was hurled at post WW2 Japan or Italy or whatever rand country, a logical human being would say okay lets look at history, have any of these countries engaged in this type of behavior in the last 10,20,50 whatever years? If not, then yeah we need a very high burden of proof to believe some claim that they were meddling. In contrast, we have so many of these historical examples with the US that it takes way more faith to believe that this happened organically.
The US government definitely has the character to orchestrate coups.
However, that doesn't mean every instance of instability is the fault of the US government, and in this case we actually have extreme evidence that shows Russia was actively attempting to destroy Ukrainian democracy.
Which is also in the character of the Russian government, because they've done it tons of times as well.
If you look at it logically, you'd see pretty clearly that while both governments have the character of overthrowing Democracies for their own self interest, in this case the evidence points soundly towards Russia being the one doing it. And then you add on that they have just admitted to sending armed troops into East Ukraine in 2014 and literally invaded after it didn't work and yeah.... You just don't have a leg to stand on and it's kind of sad that people still think the USA is responsible for the instability.
