I mean, this is literally the story of Ukraine in 2014. Putin gave them a better deal than the West. The US organized protests and toppled the government.

Are you saying that russia invading ukraine in february 2014 to take crimea was putin "giving them a better deal than the west" ?

No, before that. Russias trade deal was better than EU's, and the loan agreement better than IMF's. It's all on Wikipedia, and news articles.

And people in Ukraine loved this and the only reason they protested their energy being tied to a country that was going to invade them and start a war in a few weeks was because of the US ?
