These things are already studied and i bet Russians know the result and they should offer some Doctorate degree in application of Arabic Soft Power. if Putin was leader instead of Gorbachev he would have dissolved this Soviet and Warsaw pact even faster and still create this conflict even after voluntary abandoning them.

Yes, It is the world of fantasies that dominates the perception of these issues.
The Ukrainian Gambit (2008-, 2014-) (by the way: very badly played by the Russian ruling class) was a bloody bet by Washington and London:
(1) They were enthusiastic about the idea of defeating Moscow with economic sanctions and dreamed of a regime change and returning to 'the good old times' of plundering in the 90s and on top of that the icing on the cake: encircling China. This was the jackpot.
(2) One bad night in London and Washington they woke up in a cold sweat: a terrible nightmare: Peace and Trade from Tokyo to Lisbon.
The consolation prize of sacrificing a million Ukrainian pawns is the real and mental domination of the European Eunuch club. And at this point the bet has exceeded the expectations of the most optimistic in Washington. The mental slavery of European puppets is worthy of study as an interesting pathological case.
