It's best to be critical of what we're told either way... This includes wondering what it's in it for the US. I doubt it is Ukraine per se, and even if it is we can also wonder what the US are doing there so there is definitely more than meets the eye.

Has any of the new information changed your mind on this issue? It seems most of western intelligence was correct on Putin's actions and intentions.
