Nato likely never planned to invade Russia, but with instituting a nato friendly Uraine puppet govt by coup they guaranteed tensions for a while, and a longer lasting significance and importance, plus moar weapons sales and d-dense contracts for a long while as Ukraine has to re-arm after abandoning their old weapons stash. The military industrial complex is not stupid and knows how to keep the gravy train going, similar to the pharma complex.

No weapons were provided up until 2018 when Trump doled out 160 Jav missiles - historic fact.
So if Obama planned to sell shitload of weaponry, why the fuck didn't he do it?
Basically what you ...
They should have left Ukraine all the weapons but stayed out of meddling in their affairs, then there wouldn't be that many problems todayI actually agree with this. Problem is that they didn't. Further, I keep referring back to the Budapest Memorandum. Non-intervention is normally the right thing to do, except that in this case US agreed to the opposite if Ukrainian borders are threatened. We can debate whether US should've participated in it, but the fact is that it did, and Ukraine held on to it's side of the deal.

Ukraine got rid of the nukes which it already had in exchange for the guarantee of security, and then it gets invaded by one of the guarantors. That's few steps above and beyond to what happened to Libya on the "oh fuck" scale. I think that this is one of the reasons for the global outrage that we currently observe.
Also, to touch on the subject of "why not give the bully what he wants and live happily ever after?" - in this case agree to disarm and stop pursuing NATO membership. The question is "in exchange of what"? Assurances of sovereignty and territorial integrity ftom Russia, US and UK? Isn't it exactly what they got in Budapest Memorandum? How's it working? Not so good, eh?
Basically what you are doing is mind-reading: you somehow "know" Obama's plan even though there is no evidence of him executing any of it. And mind-reading is not really a thing.

Ukrainian Nazi party?
EU membership is fine if they want to.
Can you be specific which of their several major parties is/was Nazi, and what specifically they did to earn a Nazi designation?
It seems these parties have their roots in WWII when they attempted to help Germany overthrow Russia.
National Corps
It seems these parties have their roots in WWII when they attempted to help Germany overthrow Russia.
Cant be true as individuals who helped nazis were executed or deported by Soviets
I am not aware of such party, and A SEAT in parluament of hundreds means very little.
if the Aryan Brotherhood had a seat in Congress?
Maybe Russia should be offered donbass statehood/annex and a neutral Ukraine (no NATO), but with permissions for the Ukraine to build their own weapons arsenal and army in exchange for no military intervention for as long as it takes Ukraine to militarize, say 10 years or longer. EU membership is fine if they want to. Yes, Putin will get away with donbass and keep crimea and claim some sort of victory, but it also would solve the ethnic conflict - Russians and Ukrainians can make a choice where they want to live and under which regime.

Breaking: Russia offers immediate stop of military operations if pretty much the above outlined is met.
The big news was Blinken giving permission for Poland to give aircraft to Ukraine, but Poland saying they're not doing that.
A press release from then-Senator Lugar’s office included then-Senator Obama’s puerile proclamation that eliminating Ukraine’s stocks of conventional weapons would ensure ‘the safety of the Ukrainian people and people around the world, by keeping them out of conflicts around the world.'”
That went well, no?
