Ukraine didn't happen in a vacuum. Although Bush's weak response to Russia's invasion of Georgia probably played a bigger role.

Well use your brain, if your fearless leader had backed up his bullshite threats over Syria maybe this would not have happen. Thus him doing something about it before it even got started. You get that sonny boy? Do you understand English?

There was probably not much he could have done considering it was inevitable following the coup in 2014. He messed up by taking a hardline stance from the outset.

There are significant regional differences in Ukraine as result of the post-Soviet formation. While the areas around Kiev supports the new pro-EU/anti-Russian government. The areas in the East and South are very much opposed primarily due to the fact that the area is predominately ethnic-Russian.

These regional differences go back much further than 2014. The President would have been wise to show patience while events were unfolding.
