The United Kingdom stunned officials across Europe with a unilateral announcement that it would send 75 troops to Ukraine within the month to train the country's embattled forces in four skill sets – infantry, intelligence, logistics and medical.

“Over the course of the next month we are going to be deploying British service personnel to provide advice and a range of training, from tactical intelligence to logistics to medical care, which is something else they have asked for," UK Prime Minister David Cameron said on “We will also be developing an infantry training programme with Ukraine to improve the durability of their forces. This will involve a number of British service personnel; they will be away from the area of conflict but I think this is the sort of thing we should be helping with."

You mean the coup that toppled a wannabe Putin who was pushing through Russian style dictatorship-laws and replaced him with... the same democratically elected parliament they had in the first place?... only to be replaced yet again by more democratically elected representatives?

Interesting definition for a coup you got there. You reading the Daily Paul or Russia Today or what?

Very true.

And serious questions remain regarding exactly “who” helped orchestrate this particular coup.

Was it the US, the EU, both, or someone else?

Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the seventy five.
