In 2014 Ukraine, great power gamesmanship, righteous anger at a corrupt status quo, and opportunistic far-right extremists toppled the government in the Maidan Revolution. Today’s crisis in Ukraine can’t be understood without understanding Maidan.

Whataboutism. Internal conflicts are internal matters for sovereign nations.

There was no oral treaty. Russia never asked for anything to be enshrined in an agreement. Don’t ask, don’t get.

And anyone is free to join NATO, Russia tried to after all.
