Naturally, after choosing "their side," people will no longer watch/listen to (believe, except for the obvious) something like Channel 5, but will listen to Crimean and Russian news, because that's where all the truth is, and everything else is just garbage "for idiots." Accordingly, the opposite is also true.

These arguments are based on the axiom that people are uncultured and can be easily persuaded to believe any idea. This is fundamentally wrong; humans differ from animals in their intelligence. Critical thinking is essential for survival.

Especially naive are the claims that revolutions are imported and carried out according to a pre-planned scenario. This is as absurd as claiming that someone is controlling a volcanic eruption. A revolution is a natural disaster. A revolutionary situation develops over years, based on people's dissatisfaction with the situation in the country. When dissatisfaction becomes critical, all it takes is a spark to ignite everything. And it doesn't matter who provides that spark: NATO, the State Department, Russia, the EU, it doesn't matter! After that, the process becomes uncontrollable. It's like trying to ride a tsunami wave; no one knows where it will lead.

One can only rebuild the country after the natural disaster. This process is what requires management and a well-thought-out plan.
