Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault: The liberal delusions that provoked putin

59. You cannot ignore the role played in the coup in kiev, by the Neocon factions who were there

promising the anti-government protesters that the 'US would support them', and caught on tape, BEFORE the coup, planning the future AFTER the toppling of Yanukovich.

It was not in Russia's interests to see him ousted. He had changed his mind regarding going with the EU and accepted the loan offered by Russia.

So who benefited from his ouster? Those who wanted Ukraine to accept the IMF loan, which he had done up to around Dec of 2013. But when he felt that Ukr was not going to be accepted into the EU without the imposition of draconian terms and rules, he became angry, seeing those demands as a disrespect for Ukraine.

Coincidentally, right after that decision, John McCain and Victoria Nuland, neocon showed up to egg on the protesters who were demanding that Yanukovich step down, promising them that 'We will support you', and then caught on tape planning for the future, even predicting the new 'leader', Yatze, AFTER the ousting of Yanukovich.

There is no way to deny the role played by the US, unless of course the neocons were acting on their own, in the eventual, tragic results of what should have been left to an election. Yanukovich left because his life was in danger. Russia would have preferred him over the pro-IMF govt that succeeded him. Qui bono? At this point it certainly isn't the people of Ukraine.
