You have to go way, way back -- even as far as to the Byzentine period to make better sense of the conflict & its just a mess I couldn't even begin to get into who is right or wrong. I do know the US & western governments shouldn't continue to pick a side, now one side is completely a victim and they even go so far to laugh at your civil war claims.

Why the fuck why there were even protests then? Much less a revolution. Sure Russia backs & supports the pro-Russia parts, however the disparity in military support & allies is so much further on the other side. The US needs to stop, US needs to get away and understand based on our well known failures that the US shouldn't be in the business of fixing political identity disputes or territorial ones--you know many times Ukraine's borders changed?
