Lets write a short thread on the multi-facet geopolitical reality of the Ukraine War.

Prior to 2014, Ukraine is a 50-50 country. Half the people are pro-west; half are pro-russia. The president then was pro-russian voted in with 90% votes in the donbass region. Overthrow him without due process, what do you think the regions who voted him with 90% votes gonna think or do?

The violence at maidan may or may not be instigated by the west; but regardless, that happened. and used as an excuse to overthrow the president.

Anarchy.
