honestly? we don't need the usa for that. we were simply doing too well in germany. we had no problems, the left was voted into power and the extremists got their way in order to make the world a better place and completely overshot the mark. as has happened hundreds of times in history, the pendulum is now swinging in the other direction and people are voting right. of course the americans had an interest in a conflict in ukraine, it is extremely advantageous for them economically - but that doesn't mean that the ukrainians themselves didn't have an interest in preferring the european system to the russian one. russia has a violent century behind it with revolutions, a gigantic war, dictatorships, world power and collapse, which has currently resulted in a state controlled by the secret service. i don't really want to evaluate it or read any conspiracy theories into it - shit happens in history. ukraine is currently the biggest victim and russia and europe are also losing. none of this was really necessary.
