Everything wrong, bad, or ugly which happens in Poroshenko's Ukraine is Russia's fault, right? It's all because of the "Russian Invasion," concerning which no independently verifiable evidence has ever been offered. That's the logic at work, correct?

When the chocolate king makes war on his own people, it's Russia's fault; when volunteer fascist battalions are armed, organized and equipped at Western expense, it's Russia's fault; when Ukrainian rocket artillery shells hospitals, schools and playgrounds in the Donbas, it's Russia's fault; when Kiev's ill-advised "anti-terrorism operation" stalls and is then thrown back by the Separatist forces, it's Russia's fault; when Ukrainian children are left unvaccinated and vulnerable to polio and other preventable diseases, that's Russia's fault as well. That's the story line, right?

Seems like it's just a one-answer-fits-all World, at least it would appear to be for some.
