country.

2000 was a clusterfuck of its own image.

Nice post.

You are consistent.

They are showing an ID from International Police Association, not CIA

Just to let you know.

(French: “stroke of state”) Sudden overthrow, often violent, of an existing government by a group of conspirators. Coups are most common in countries with unstable governments and in countries with little experience of successful democracy. Their success depends on surprise and speed. Coups rarely alter a nation's fundamental social and economic policies or significantly redistribute power.

A couple of things:
1) Military is not required for a coup, however, violence often is. Ukraine has plenty of that. Extreme violence.

2) The street level protests were led by the Far right back in early November, hence the level of violence and how quickly it escalated. Those weren't everyday citizens, those were soccer hooligan types. Check the November videos from the LiveLeak website if you have any doubt as to this fact.
3) They didn't execute the leader as he did indeed leave the country but instead they seem to have executed their own protesters.

This BBC link verifies the sniper was behind them in the Hotel Ukraine which was being used by protesters. Got to 2:40 mark in the 2nd video for footage of BBC reporter pointing at the snipers window and specifying which window it is.

4)The new leadership is a mix of Oligarchs, the hard right and a few moderates from the "Fatherland" party...which incidentally was what the Nazi's referred to Germany as.

5) The new elections are being overseen by the Western powers who have a obvious vested interest...regardless of who they are supporting.

6) Russians and Ukranians are the same people essentially... this is lost on the West. Take a look at the history, the geography and the culture...there is almost no difference. The only difference is one group of greedy and obviously violent guys is being replaced by another...in the mean time, the country is broke and regular moderate people are suffering and are sadly going to suffer more regardless of what the West does.

the protestors did not control Hotel Ukraine (the National Bank of U, another point used by snipers was not under the protestors' control either)

states he is in the Hotel Ukraine surrounded by protesters. They controlled the Hotel and the Hotel with the sniper sighted by the BBC reporter is in the upper window. The BBC reporter clearly states this. Go to the 1:50 mark he states they are using it as a triage center for the wounded. In regards to the sniper he says "I saw the shooter...he was wearing one of the protesters green helmets".

Evidentially, it's lost on most Ukrainians as well. But who are they to have any say on it?

Yanukovich should have stayed. Nobody forced him to left. He fled his fears. But he also fled an agreement that his sponsors didn't approve of or initial.

In so doing, he violated the agreement. Once by not signing the legislation he agreed to sign when it was passed--he'd already packed up and left. A second time by not lifting a finger to arrange for the interim government he agreed to. Instead, all he did was quickly denounce everything done, even by the representatives from his own party, as illegal and illegitimate.

He's Morsi. With more corruption and foreign support than Morsi ever had, far more divisive than Morsi ever was, and far less cooperative with sub-constituencies in his own country than Morsi ever was.

Although you have set so many constraints up to create your Ukrainian exception that you can beg out of this one too.

The sorry list of us regime change operations since WWII makes your op ridiculous. Of course we were involved.

And there was nothing comparable to Russia intervening in that example.

out of the country?

Because that would be the only way this is like Haiti.

sticking with that. Who was it.. dennis on fox? Protect putin and rant and rage on the USA.. 'cause you know Russia good/USA bad. edward snowden said so .

proposed by BYuT as a "latent coup d'etat"
