(There was no coup/junta in Kiev.)
“All those thousands of firebomb throwing Neo-Nazis in Kiev attacking the duly elected government could have fooled me.”
Irrelevant and I doubt there were a thousand Nazis.
Be specific. You stated coup or junta. That implies a military style takeover. It was the government of Ukraine that legally displaced Putin’s puppet for his illegal fleecing of the country and other activities. This was a legal action, there was no forced military coup or junta.
See my tagline

The overthrow was done under the color of law but was not legal in any historical sense and the thousands of firebomb throwing Neo-Nazis outside the capitol building used violence to force the situation. It may not have been a uniformed military but it was an army.
