We've called it free, democratic and sovereign, because we overthrew their government and that's how we have labeled it.

We have had the Monroe Doctrine for 200 years now. We own these continents. We will not tolerate foreign powers creating alliances and bases anywhere in the Americas. We will destroy anyone who tries.

We tried to put NATO bases on Putin's border within shouting distance of Moscow, after overthrowing their government. We BEGGED Putin to take Ukraine.

We didn't overthrow the Ukrainian government. Ukrainians did. Forced out a Putin puppet. And we didn't put NATO bases in Ukraine nor did we try to. And the Eastern European countries all joined NATO because they feared Russia. And Putin just demonstrated that they had reason to fear Russia.

By the way the Chinese are looking to build a new canal in Nicaragua. And have just struck a trade deal with Argentina. The Chinese get ahead by building infrastructure in these countries, not install strong men who abuse their own people but get away with it because they're keeping out communism at our behest. If you treat people badly they revolt. Exactly why the Soviet Union fell apart. Exactly why Warsaw Pact countries turned to NATO. Exactly why socialism is gaining traction and has been for some time in the Americas. Whether it's humping 70-80 hrs a week in the States or having strong men hog all the wealth in Latin America people start listening to the Bernie Sanders of the world who tell them everyone can have a decent job and prosperity if they get rid of capitalism. Those former Soviet republics and Eastern European countries vehemently disagree so they are labeled fascists and Nazis in places like Poland and Hungary by the socialist crowd. At the end of the day don't discount the morons who get power and think they know better and end up mucking things up. Just like our past leaders who installed mean SOB's to control their populations in Central America. You can't fix stupid, only clean up the aftermath.

When Soros, Clinton, Rubio, and Romney are all speaking in absolute unison, it is time to be on the other side.
Some people are upset because they are losing money in the Ukraine. That is another issue and couldn't happen to nicer people but doesn't justify the Russian aggression.

It's not Russian aggression.

We tried to put NATO bases within shouting distance of Moscow. We overthrew the Ukraine government.

Who is the aggressor?

The reason Ukraine was invaded in the words of a psychopath:
“Ukraine is not just a neighboring country for us. It is an inalienable part of our own history, culture, and spiritual space. Since time immemorial, the people living in the south-west of what has historically been Russian land have called themselves Russians.” He added that Ukraine had been created by the Soviets, and that it was time to reconstitute the Russian empire. "The disintegration of our united country was brought about by the historic, strategic mistakes on the part of Bolshevik and Soviet leaders, The collapse of the historical Russia known as the USSR is on their conscience.” - Putin

All of that is also true.

Russia is retaking part of Russia, which is no reason for anyone to be upset. A substantial portion of Ukrainians don't even mind the takeover.

Where are these "substantial" portion of Putin lovers?
30% of Ukrainians are native Russian speakers, and most of them are in the eastern half of the country. Most of them are more loyal to Russia.

Ukraine is basically the only former soviet republic that is worse off since the breakdown of the USSR, because it is so irredeemably corrupt. Even the non-Russians in Ukraine are largely indifferent to losing "their" country.

The government you are calling theirs is the one we used to overthrow their former government.
