The term "sovereign nation" or "sovereign democratic nation" is frequently used to subdue or avoid questions regarding the war in Ukraine. It shows only a superficial understanding of how conflicts begin. US and its allies have ignored Putin on numerous issues for decades, and they interfered in Ukraine to the extent they engineered a revolution in 2004 and changed the results of their election.

US is also interested in commercializing Ukraine's natural resources.
