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.

Ok, whatever. Just a no simple confidence vote in parliament. Nevermind Right Sector in ski masks. (shaking head)

It all happened under immediate violence, as in right outside the building door. And as for no confidence nationally, how did you arrive at this count?
Obama could put 5 million people in DC next week if he really needed to.
On TV it would look like the whole nation was in agreement. That’s why elections are held.
Also, you might want to check, the president of Ukraine serves a 5 year term. It is not a parliamentary system like Netanyahu faces right now, or where elections are called upon a no confidence vote.

And the irony is, the Kiev coup that has unleashed a war was unneeded. had they simply organized and waited, the election would be happening now in 2015.
The fact that they decided do go with a street attack tells me that they know they were not really a majority.
