Initially I thought that US's support of Ukraine's 2014 coup was just a big diplomatic failure/miscalculation, but now seeing how US managed to prepare/arm Ukraine in 8yrs since then (to the point that even Russia initially seemed to have no clue what surprise they were stepping into), how Brexit happened, and how now Germany/France are all getting screwed, makes me think that this wasn't just a coincidence. Undercutting EU while making it fall in line and totally dependent on US while bringing Russia down is just too much of a coincidence.
