Obviously Ukraine is another corrupt illegitimate government, but those in power there didn't wage war to get that power.

A violent, CIA-backed coup is kind of like a mini-civil war though. Followed by years of massacring pro-Russian pundits.

It's basically the same method of operation every time. Infiltrate the media, spread propaganda, control information, install stooges as revolutionary leaders, then incite a violent protest to overthrow the existing government.

I would say that Putin's response to the expanding NWO wasn't the smart one and military invasion should be the last resort. Another prolonged war is exactly what the US establishment wants and there are factions within the establishment that want WWIII.
