Bug,
The "west" organised the ousting of Yanukovych in a coup simply because he was an ally of Russia, and they replaced him with a US puppet regime. It would have been just another conspiracy theory if it wasn't for the secretly taped telephone conversation where Victoria Nuland was overheard talking about it. "F*** the EU" was an infamous quote from the conversation. Google that quote, lol.
Putin knew what was to follow. Firstly he would lose his only warm water naval port at Sevastopol (in Crimea), and then NATO would install missiles on the Ukraine-Russia border. That was absolutely non negotiable so Putin moved in and grabbed Crimea, which was probably expected by the neocon warmongers in Washington anyway.
Do some searching on Robert Kagan who is married to Nuland. Also look up PNAC. These people get nice jobs in these NGOs and are paid to do nothing except come up with schemes to take over the world.
