No, no coup. Eastern Ukraine disagreed with which trade group the sitting government signed an agreement with. So they had a street riot of an electoral minority, funded by Neuland and the US and EU governments, that launched firebombs, shot, and fought on street barricades until they were able to storm the seat of government and seize power.
Nobody could ever call THAT a coup. But since it was essentially Nazi led, maybe a putsch would be the better term. You may agree with the coup, but please don’t pretend this was some peaceful gathering, and then the president simply decided he should resign. And that this was a normal transition. It was obviously a coup by the losers of the last election. And a rather retarded one.
It went on peacefully for several months, until Svoboda and Right Sector showed up and turned it into a violent coup.

But lets not hijack the thread and make this thread about Ukraine. This thread is about Obama interfering in Israeli elections.

It wasn’t a coup.

The sitting president lost support from his own party as well as the nation. He stepped down.

They have a parliamentary system over there. That’s how it works.
