    When Ukrainians kicked out the Russian puppet politician

    The guy they kicked out was actively trying to join the EU. The riots that kicked off a decade of bloody civil war did nothing to decouple Ukraine from Russia. All it achieved was to militarize the conflict.

    And then Putin retaliated by sending soldiers into Ukraine

    Just as they did in Chechnya and Tajikistani, to the thunderous applause of Americans in the grip of their War on Terror.

    Hell, we outright partnered with him under Clinton and Bush.

      You say this like Putin is subhuman, a force of nature that must be handled with care.

      And like Ukrainians are the ones that caused their own abuse under his regime.

      Be more specific, name the human being who sent soldiers into Ukraine.
