Talk about tricky, I just started watching Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States, so I have a newfound respect for the complexities of WWII.

Yanukovych was democratically elected, fuck-knuckles; you overthrew the guy you elected, thereby instantly voiding your membership of the democracy club - like those bell-ends in Egypt
Being elected doesn't mean you can't be/become a dictator. See: Hitler, Caesar, etc.
USA - They forced the Russians to react - they would have lost their military bases AND would have had a pro euro country with a direct border to russia. This again forced the EU to react - the EU can not be fine with the annexion of the Krim. In the end this drives a wedge between the EU and Russia. This is good for the US.
My guess is that the regime change in the ukraine was pushed by the US (smart) and also by the EU (not so smart.)

and just because some elected people become dictators doesn't mean all elected people become dictators. see: most elected leaders, etc
Whenever a vote doesn't go the way the US neo-cons planned, it's rigged
What a pathetic shithole of a third world nation the yanks have. All Putin has to say is "come at me bros" and they all shit their pants. Good on Russia for claiming what was rightfully theirs
