They're in a war because of it though. If that's the best example of it "working," I don't think it's great. They're not a huge country like the US either. A civil war would be bad, I think we can agree on that.

    I guess that means the American Revolution didn't work either because we just wound up at war with Britain

    You're really calling for a civil war in the US? How do you think the rest of the world will do in that situation? The fucking Strait of Hormuz being shut down is causing a shitshow, what do you think having America in a civil war would do? Either, you're not from here and have no skin in the game, or you're not thinking this through.

    You're arguing in a comments section. Was that the goal of your rebellion? Are you to blame for the others replying to you?

    Were the protesters to blame for Russia's response?

    No. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. The protest achieved it's goals, and since then Russia has invaded.

    Russia's actions are because of Putin, not because the protests failed.

    I have my doubts that the war was caused by this. Not an expert in Ukrainian politics. Or any politics outside my little niche, really. But it is not the first Russian invasion and, until putain dies at least, it won't be the last.
