Hell, even taken in the best possible light, the Maidan revolution ended in... what? A country split in half by a Russian military occupation.

I agree with your take on violence, but this is just disingenuous. A country split in half by a Russian military occupation is a direct result of a Russian military occupation. If Maidan didn't happen, it would be the entire country. We didn't choose to get invaded.

The goal of Maidan was to push Russian oligarchs out of Ukraine. You can't call that a success, unless you just stop recording history after 2021.

The idea that Ukrainians just showed up with guns and poof they won, is blinkered.

We didn’t choose to get invaded.

Simply showing up with guns did not make a rival military force vanish.
