What happened in the Ukraine is that the US supported essentially a coup d’etat in 2014, against the democratically-elected government of Ukraine.

If you look at that, and you put yourself in Russia’s position, and you say: Okay, the United States, our biggest enemy, is treating us as an enemy, has now taken over the government of a nation and made them hostile to us, and then started passing laws that are prejudicial to this giant Russian population. If Mexico did that and then started killing — they killed 14,000 Russians in Donbas, the Ukrainian government — if Mexico did that to expatriate Americans, we'd invade in a second. We have to put ourselves in the shoes of our opponents. — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

This is the basis for true compassion. — Dalai Lama
I have thought from the time of the cessation of the hostilities, that silence and patience on the part of the South was the true course; and I think so still.
