It was violent coup supported and funded by the obama administration.
An interesting comparison is the coup against Salvador Allende in Chile and the one against Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines.
Its a matter of the choice of words and their rhetorical purpose. The liberal press was quick to call the removal of Allende as a coup, much less so the removal of Marcos or Yanukovych. But the differences are mainly about the mechanics of removal, not the fundamentals.
The general circumstances are interestingly parallel. A president that opposes the clear national will on certain important policy questions, or perhaps his perceived failures, and who has alienated democratic state institutions, and has overstepped his authority.
In Chile the military bit the bullet and reluctantly organized a classic coup d’etat. In Ukraine it was much less classic, the military not being involved, but it served the same purpose.
In the Philippines it is the anniversary of yet another such “coup”, I suppose it was the first “color revolution”. It too had a lot of parallels to Ukraine. I participated in that one. There was a classic military coup atte
Its a difficult business dealing with gross failures of governance on the part of elected leaders.
The US has its own issues on this score. It’s probably due a “color revolution” of its own.
Well Elon at first armed the Ukrainians with his starlink.
Now he’s gone a bit anti Ukraine.
Chinese Tesla factories perhaps a factor.
2014 was a revolt.
The rank and file in that revolt were Ukrainian populists.
Unfortunately it was Obama and the liberal world order that organized the revolt and they are still involved in Ukraine.
Except nowadays, the Chicoms control the moves in the West. And all they want is mayhem, over there in Ukraine, over here in U.S. and throughout the West. And that's what we have.
So he’s been paying attention. Anyone who has been knows it’s true.
My favorite African American is correct!

Wonder where he is today - supposedly he took all the money and ran to Russia leaving behind all THIS...From everything I can find, nothing has been done with the property. What keeps people from just looting it or moving in?
Wikipedia has lots information on him.
Now call Biden “victory” and “administration” a coup.
Kinda what drives me nuts when people talk about saving Ukrainian democracy, they actually had an insurrection in 2014. Arranged by the west. Issue was Ukraine picking a Russian trade deal over an EU one. I think the west was also looking for revenge because Russia saved Assad in Syria. Give the western warmongers credit though, it worked. Then Minsk 1 and 2, Donbas, etc. Lots of folks can’t get past Putin bad though.
Pretty good Twitter thread here, covers Nuland and company.

I’ve been saying that while it was in process...and we instigated it...well before 2014.
Toria Nuland is a war mongering troll.
She needs to become fixated on the demise of the CCP.
Corrupt Yanukovych was removed from office for betraying Ukraine for Putin. Parliament moved to impeach him, but he was prepared in advance and hightailed it to his masters in Russia.
No, the 2010 election was not dodgy at all. It was crawling with international observers who declared it free and fair.
Yanukovych won fair and square.
I think Musk is thinking about the 2004 runoff election, which was dodgy. After the Orange Revolution, results of that election were tossed out and a new election held. Yanukovych lost the do-over.
Yes, the “regime change” in 2014 was a coup. Actually, it was an armed putsch.
Compliments of Obama and the CIA!
He’s right. We totally colour revolutioned a lawfully elected Ukrainian government.
He’s coming around. Buying Twitter has opened his mind.
Correct. Obama/Biden/Nuland/Soros.
