Russian defectors helped capture territory for Ukraine in Belgorod Oblast, and a short lived Russian civil war occured not long after the war began.

And thats after decades in oppression and a century in authortarian turmoil. The USA with all its revolutionary spirit would be a far different story.

    You have way too much faith still, in a country that's basically gone to absolute shit, while it's people shrugged. The idea that the USA has a "revolutionary spirit" is a hollywood fantasy, and your argument just sounds like more "American exceptionalism", the likes of which allowed them to sleep walk into fascism. "It couldn't possibly be happening here, we're AMERICA!"
