Basically, the west decided to promote the color revolution in Ukraine by installing a anti-Russian government in Kiev when the US was still drunk on the postwar triumphalism and believed its own overwhelming irresistible power to change any part of the world to the way it liked. The failure in Afghanistan and then iraq has not yet become apparent.
The US thought it could fuck Russia in the ass and Russia could not do anything about it.
In reality, by putting nato’s credibility on the line by suggesting Ukraine could join nato, what the US had done was to nail its own dick to a chopping block called Ukraine.
Russia decided to swing the axe now.
So you could say the ultimate responsibility for this rests with the Bush administration. However, to be fair, no American administration since the end of the Cold War would likely to have be more strategic and thought farther ahead in this respect than the bush administration. So while bush administration precipitated this disaster, the root cause is America’s accustomed self-centered shallow thinking underlying its ideological world view
