2a&b. Fair, but I just learned it had UN support therefore it had military backing.

3.Forgot about rose revolution, but then Russia invaded and it still has pro Russian government (although people aren't pro russian)

  1. Probably. I assumed it was pro-revolution but the Wikipedia says the army was neutral. Not really going to happen with Russia, with how corrupt the army is.

I mean you have to put aside aftermath of the revolution as ruling the country which already had problems which caused the revolution is the thing which rarely happened even in earlien centuries not only XXI.

I woulndn't call crashing with and shooting to protesters staying neutral. Also I think you underestimate how much of a corruption rotten mess Ukraine was at the time.
