Wanted: Proof that what happened in Ukraine actually constituted a "western sponsored coup."

98. The US spends more money on its military, than any other country on earth,

accounting for half of the entire planet's military expenditures. We have military bases in more than 150 countries, worldwide. Our government has deposed democracies and supported dictatorships throughout the world for decades, violating the sovereignty of many nations, and violating international law, as well as US law, in the process. We have engaged in fits of violence that have resulted in the deaths of millions of people and the destruction of many countries. Our government does this, in order to maintain strategic and economic dominance throughout the world. How can anyone have peace, under such circumstances?

I think what is happening in Ukraine, is a result of a US attempt to isolate Russia through political/economic coercion and covert operations, to eliminate that country's influence over an energy rich region, thereby increasing its own influence and power there. Unfortunately, in the process, we are supporting a regime, that most credible news sources in the world describe as "far right wing" or "fascist". I think that such actions are THE primary impediment to global cooperation for the purpose of mitigating the impending climate disaster known as global climate change.

As for wishing away the worlds problems, I'm not foolish enough to believe anything is going to change. There is simply too much ignorance, too much corruption and too many insufferable enablers in the world, who fear the change that is necessary to secure our civilization's future. But that won't stop me from advocating for a better world and hoping that things will change.

I don't know what you mean when you say "Our actions do not occur in a vacuum." That comment makes absolutely no sense to me in the current context. The "blame America first" comment sounds like you're channeling Jeane Kirkpatrick, in which case, you can simply 'talk to the hand'.
