His Muslim Terrorist meddling goes back to the spring uprisings in Iran (in this case abandonment), followed by Libya, Egypt, Syria, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan and perhaps dozens of other countries we don’t know about.

We are told on the one hand that the US isn’t the world’s arbiter and major protector, yet his filthy Muslim hands are in everything, right on up to his nose.

I suspect a lot of taxpayer money has gone into manipulating elections worldwide. Just last week John Kerry was in Nigeria to talk about terrorism and the upcoming Nigerian elections.

Did he go on to criticize the US for arrogant meddling in the affairs of foreign countries?

Just like the leftist credo here at home, it isn’t wrong when they do it, its only wrong when those with whom they disagree do it.

1. There was no coup.

2. The U.S. did broker an agreement between Yanukovych and the Ukrainian parliament to hold early elections, but the protestors rejected any such agreement for a delayed election.

3. Yanukovych tendered his resignation to the Ukrainian parliament. Yanukovych prepared to flee the Ukraine to avoid criminal prosecution for ordering the killings of protestors and for a number of earlier crimes involving government kidnapping, torture, and murder of opponents to his government’s corruption and criminal acts.

4. Yanukovych met with his Russian intelligence services handlers to make arrangements for his seeking asylum from criminal prosecution in the Ukraine. The Russian intelligence service informed Yanukovych his request for asylum could only be granted if Yanukovych falsely denied tendering his resignation to the Ukrainian parliament.

The issue is regime change. The US stops being a force for positive change when we encourage and support nasty crowds and strive to destabilize everything that gets in the way of toppling leaders Obama doesn’t like.

I didn’t make the headline.

If the US manipulating other countries’ elections and power structure is ‘ok’, then them doing it to the US is ‘ok’ as well.

Oh, yeah...we got the Puppet.

His meddling goes at least as far back as his first foreign journey and speech in office in 2009, when he made sure to invite the MB in to attend, complete with favored seats and comments.

I'll defer to your greater knowledge of the situation, and accept points 2, 3, and 4 from your post #11. But as your point 1, what business do we have brokering any kind of political deal in a country right on Russia's doorstep? Shouldn't that be a job for the UN, if anyone at all?

And how would the US feel if, say, Putin "brokered" a presidential election in Mexico that just happened to install his choice as president?

George Washington was right. Avoid foreign entanglements, especially ones that do not affect our security.

Sorry, in my post #16 I meant to say that I'll accept points 1, 3, and 4 from your post #11. It's point 2 that concerns me.

Revolution is what communists do. Obama has been fomenting unrest and revolution since he was an Illinois senator. Kenya, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and the United States. We can now add Ukraine to the list.
